Gazette-News Bureau, Yarborough House. Raleigh, April 20. ' Thomas J. was farborough house last night, in discussing politics In this statb made the statement that he believed that Locke Craig of . Ashe ville would undoubtedly be the next governor of North Carolina, "I find very little opopsltlon to Mr. Craig," he said, "and I believe that he will be nominated almost unanimously. The east seems strong ly for Mr. Craig." As the race stands to date, it Is safe to say that Mr. Craig will win in a walk. There Is only one an nounced candidate so far. In opposi tion to him, that being Lieut-Governor Newlnnd. The progreslve ele ment of the party seems to be doing its figuring more on the senatorial possibilities than on the governor ship. Mr. Craig's long part' service and the strong race he made three years ago has given him a long lead on anyone else. From careful observa tion, it seems that his chances of a fair sailing are excellent and unless those who are steering his guberna torial ship run onto the rocks, he will be tSte, next govegnor. Much depends, remarked one ob servant man, upon whether Mr. Craig runs counter to the Kltchin forces in the senatorial fight For Instance, If Mr. Craig should attempt to throw nil his strength on the side of Sena tor Simmons In the Kitchln-Slmmons liKht, the waters would be disturbed at once. If he keep hands off in the sena torial fight there will be no organ ized effort to defeat him for gov ernor; If he does not then some man like General Julian 8. Carr of Dur ham or Charles W. Tlllet of Char loUe, but more probably the former, might be entered against him and the fight would be a hard one. Impression on Senatorial Fight. Asked regarding the senatorial fight ex-Governor Jarvis stated that he had served his day In politics anJ was let Ins- the others run matters now. As far U his section. Pitt and Green counties, were concerned, the general Impression prevailed In that section that Governor Kltchin had much the best of 8onator Simmons In that particular territory. He re marked that If Ayoock got into the race In a primary he would be the winner. In a straight fight between Kltchin and Simmons, he didn't know of course but the present governor seemed mlgltfy strong and would probably win. The next man seen would remark that Simmons would win, so there you have It. The en- trios' are not closed yet; there la the possibility that if ex-Governor Ay rock finally dcci-a not to enter, that Chief Justice Walter Clark of the Supreme court will likely get in Rates on Brick. Graduation rates on brick nnnaunc ed by the corporation commission change the Ave mllo rate to 65 cents from 0 cents and correspondingly decreases up to 800 miles, reduced from SI. 70 to $3.40 per thousand.

Arizo- statehood under on which it has presented found a strong advocate on the floor of the United Stated senate today In the person of Senator Works, California's new member of the up per house of congress. In defending the Arizona constitution he look oc casion to warn the republican party that unless it should heed the de mand made upon it for an endorse ment of the initiative, referendum and recall, "earnestly demanded by an overwhelming majority of our people of all political parties," the party would go down " to defeat ami final destruction and oblivion." Common People vs. Interest-. The real objection to the constitu tion, he declared, was "one phase of the struggle that has been going on in this country between the common people and the privileged, self-seeking Interests, affecting the right to govern the nation, the state and the municipalities." The initiative, refer endum and recall, provided for in the Arizona constitution and already In force in some states of the union, was one method the people' were taking, he asserted, of trying to blot out corruption In politics. With the. exception of recall of judges, he said, he was heartily in favor of this way .ot.jratt.lng rid of Incompetent or cor rupt public servants. The senator touched on the Lorl- mer case In connection with his plea for honest politics. Senator Works was named in the . resolution Intro duced at the present session by Sena tor IaKollette calling for another investigation of the I.nrimer case, as halrman of the committee of Inves tigation. ' iib sprcail Pprlslng." "This widespread uprising against the corruption that. If persisted In, must eventually overthrow our rep resentative form of government," he said, "is founded upon the most con- Inelng evidence that corruption is eating at the very vitals of the re- uhlic and threatening the perpetuity our free institutions. We need not go outside of this cnamoer to find evidence of this fact. The pages of the Congressional Hecord of the past few months will disclose a con dition that has brought the whole nutlon to shamu. It was charged that the election of a memlr of this body was procured by corrupt practices and the bribery of votes in the legis lature. I need not enter upon a dis cussion of tne evidence in inui i-um. it Is enough to say that it was clearly and sufficiently shown that corrupt practices had been resorted to in tne election and that some votes had been purchased. "I have cited the case, tne senator continued, "to show why the people of this country may Justly claim larger share in the election of their officers and the control of legislation It is one out of hundreds of esses where corrupt and Illegal Influences have been brought to !ear to con ml ,.ietlon and the enactment of legislation detrimental to the public at lurae. Is there no way, he asked, B) which such evil Influences may lie met and overcome? Some senators here seem to think not. When the people attempt to limit the power of their representatives and assume some of that power themselves by ignoring the unfaithful representative and acting directly at the pons, or n recalling him and substituting honest and faltful representative his place, the cry is raised that tnis effort to control their own represen lathe und their own government i a violation of the constitution of the I nlted States and an encroachment fuuon the principles of our repre entutlve form of government That Is the Issue which confronts ii. today The proposed constitution nf Arizona provides for the Initiative referendum and recall.

Re ceipt of an outline of the reply of the Mexican gov ernment made to President Taft's strong remonstrance against the con duct of warfare on ths border has somewhat depressed the hopes of officials who confidentially expected a completely responsive reply from Mexico. Withholding the officials' statements until the full text of the De La Barra note is at hand, the president, In full knowledge of the fact that It is re criminatory in some points, is disposed to deal with it leniently. The president's rejoinder must be based upon further official reports from American military officials, whose Impartiality in the fighting at Agua Prieta has been impeached. It is feared a disposition prevails In Mexico to rnafce political capital .Kit of the :M-tivitfi of the Americans, and this will probably be resented If It appears as calculated to Impair the good relations of the two countries. Mexican Ambassador Zamacona Is sues a statement in which he declared Mexico's reply would be found friend ly In form and essence. The Mexican ambassador's state ment says that while the reply refers to "lamentable events on the border," it is friendly In force and essence. Considerable progress was made yesterday in the negotiations for an armistice between the forces of the federal gov ernment anil the revolutionists in Mexico. Dr. Vasquea Oomea, who is conducting the negotiations, received wntd that his message setting forth the armistice proposition and request ing definite instructions for arrang ing the truce was on its way to Gen eral Francisco I. Madero, Jr., who is encamped several miles south of Juarez. Mex. Dr Gomez was also Informed that his first message of last week sent by way of Chihuahua City and outlining the preliminary pence negotiations in which he had engaged had been re ceived by General Madero, but that a confusion ns to the code used had made It Impossible for the rebel lead er to read It. A messenger therefore, was dispatched from El Paso, to ex plain to General Madero not only the Initial miwiip. concerning the pence proposals, but the fact that Dr. Go mez Is waiting orders from his chief armistice agreement now SEGREGATION OF RACES BY ORDINANCE IS LEGAL About $5000 Worth of Valuables Miss ingDiscovered by Car Inspectors.
