The post to which the grand duke is transferred is relatively unimportant cqmpared'with the prestige and vast powers of his former office as commander-in- chief of all Russia's great fight ing forces. The Caucausian campaign presents only minor averts of the war. The Rus sian and Turkish forces involv ed in the struggle in the Black sea region are not large.

I Butler will succeed " Congressman George E. Hood of Goldsboro add lit-1 , tie to democratic peace of mind. ' Just why they come at this time i unless there is something behind then t cannot be explained. A few days ago Major Butler was here and said th I third would go repubUoan this time, I , He would not admit that he would b j the candidate or that he knew any- 1 body who would. But be had no' earthly objection to anybody's saying i ; the district would return Hood. The Major never had any difficulty bellev- I ing that way and greater happiness no man knows than Major Butler dls- i ports In ante-election times. i But the story that gets to Raleigh and may have a state-wide effect how i to register and vote and that tho j blacks will show the whites how to get a majority. In state circles today the excitement took legs and walked,! about. The fact that Mr. Butler was represented as gum-shoeing It down east carried no little worry. That gentleman can generate a democratic panio seven days in th week. The narrath-e as given to your cor respondent was simplicity crem de la creme. Mr. Butler , was against th amendment In 100 and fought for his own life in opposition to It The col ored folks elected Mr. Butler in spite of the noble band of registrars and Judges who certainly did not aid or abet the blacks in this now seriously debated enterprise.

It will . do the same for 1 North Carolina and If It does Major George Butler wl.1 be . congressman, from the third and Marlon Butler will again be the Grand Panjandrum ot PothookB. This was the working of the demo- , cratlc mind today. In the simple de- ; stre to preserve a calm It was observed j that two state papers recently quoted Senator Butler In a statement that North Carolina's amendment wouuv stand and taht the state is safe. It Ik true that Senator Butler mad a powerful speech in the United States I near the close oi n wra he argued so powerfully against the constitutionality of the amendment! ho know him to d i y accused another i But the discrtm cks had ceased Qught oourag - that Democrat a very nev lawyer of Inator when Mt - to the UeiuucfahW ter with Secretary Lansing.
