Special to The Observer. AshevlUe. Dec J.-The State Is about to witness another striking ex ample Of the mutability of things here below In general and things political In particular. A couple of days ago soma of those within the Inner circle, so to speak, of the Republican party In North Carolina hazarded the proph ecy that Harry Skinner, the attorney for the eastern district of North Car olina, would be endorsed and named as the successor of the late Judge Thomas R. Purnell. Within the past forty-eight hours, however, there has heen one of those kaleidoscopic shlft Ings of the scenes which are not ln- - frequent In the political world, and to-day it is stated that there Is lit tle doubt that former Judge Spencer 1 B- Adams, the Republican State chair man, will be given the place. , While there la no definite Informa- i tlon as to National Committeeman Xancan's position in regard to the ' matter. It Is believed that ha will fa vor Adams with his endorsement; If, in fact, his endorsement of Adams Is not already given or pledged; and that hereabout no one will be sur prised to sea the President announce the appointment of Adams at an early date. It is said that Congressmen elect Grant, CerWles and Morehead, and, likewise, Mr. J. Elwood Cox, are among those who favor the proposal to give the Job to Adams. Harry Skinner was In AshevlUe last night. It is learned to-day, and while newspaper men were In the dark as to his movements. It is presumed that fee cams here to consult with Judge Prltchard; and, it Is said, did, during i the evening, have a conference with - Judge Prltchard, although newspaper ' men are not advised as to what took - place between Skinner and the- judge. ' It is probably safe to say, however, that Judge Prltchard will not under take to interfere with the organlaa- tlon in its efforts to secure a solution " of the judgeship problem. " While Skinner wants the appoint ment, yet it Is understood that he does y npt propose to antagonise the organ- - tzatlon and will direct hia e (Torts ( mainly to securing the endorsement ' of the powers that be. " He is skid to ba friendly with Adams and Duncan, - and it may be assumed that he will . lo nothing that will bring about a conflict between those who are advo cating his appointment and those of " the organisation. know bun. He represented his county several times in the State Legislature, where he took a very prominent part in iha mbui of several laws, many Of which have become a permanent part of our statutory law. in urae ne was a prominent candidate before his party convention for the nomination for Con gress from the sixth congressional district coming within a fraction of a vote-et re ceiving the nomination on several bal lots and was finally defeated by Mr. Mar tin, who received the nomination and was elected, da was the Republican candi date for Congress from this congreaslon sl district Jn 1908, making material gains for his party; was a delegate from this district to tit national convention at Chicago which nominated Judge Taft for President, and was Republican elector from this district at the last election. In devoting his time and talents trying to upbuild the Republican party in his sec tion Of the State he has made himself many strong party friends throughout the State who. his frlenes here believe, will bring strong pressure to bear upon the administration in his behalf.
