Republicans Establish
Southern Headquarters
n The City 01
- - Washington
An interviw with Senator
Marion Butler which was pub
lished in the Washington Post
and has appeared in a number of
Worth Carolina newspapers sets
forth the tact tnai ine Repuuu-
m national committee has de
Med to open up a regular South -
;rn headquarters in Washington
D. C. Senator Butler has tor
some weeks been very active in
his efforts to get these head
nuarters established.
It has for many years been the
custom of the Republican nation
al committee to maintain head
quarters for the eastern part of
the country in New York city
and for the West in- Chicago.
rlt' has never. had a separate head
quarters for the S.wih and in
' fact has rarely ever made a ser
ious effort to carry any strictly
Southern state. This year it ap
npnrs that an ernest effort will
be made to carry the Kepubli
further South than
has been done in many years.
Kentucky and West Virginia
which are border states are ex
pected to go Republican this
year but the managers of that
party think that North Carolina
and possibly Tennessee are also
debatable territory. In the lat
ter two states there is already a
Republican vote of large propor
tion! and one that can be great
ly increased if the proper efforts
are made.
In the states to the South of
North Carolina here is no Re
publican party. All of them
put together do not poll as many
Republican votes as North Caro
lina. There is said to be consid
erable latent hostility to the Dem
ocratic nartv in several of those
states however and some of the
Republican leadeis think this
could be developed into a posi
tive opposition party.
What the plans of the Republi
can committee as to -the South-
em campaign are is not known
but the establishment of the
Southern headquarters looks as
if a serious effort is to be made
to invade what is commonly re
ferred to as the Solid South.

It has been Teddy's duty and joy
to accompany the-Swander children to

from school recently, one of the little

and made such a fuss that members
of the'famity accompanied him back

and extremely cold. He was hurried
home and restored to health. The
Swanders believe that Teddy's prompt
action saved the child's life?.
