-, By EDWARD K. BR1TTONV, '
' (By Special Leased Wirs) "
Washington, ay S2-There is talk
here that- the, case for Frank Unney
is not so storm-cloudy for hint si it ap
peared ; when the cyclone ; struck his
nomination for "district attorney for
the Western District of North Carolina
at its appearance before the judiciary
committee of -the Senate. Inside 1 in
fluencee are said to have beat at work to
ward eff the atone, and the rumor ts
that there ia a peep of suashlss to
gladden the eyes of the North Carolina
Bepnblieaa state chairman. , At any
rate, when he left here the last ef the
week he had been' given some encour
agement and feels that there if more
than a fighting chance for his confir
mation. ' . . x K f
The thing that gives this encourage
ment to him and his backers ia that
the whisper ia going the rounds that
the Harding administration, embolden
ed by the Republican success ia swing
ing away from .their Democratic moor
ings two of the Southern states,, havo
a well-denned policy tn view , to make
further inroads into the South and its
Democratic majorities. It ia said that
there is realization that-Republicanism
cannot grow in the South, as Bepubll-s
cans want to see It grow, tf southern
Republicanism is tied up with the negro,
and the endeavor of the administration
is understood to be to have Northern
sad Western Republicans take a nation:
al .view of the situation,, to got -away
front sectional or a limited state
view, and get together n . a, policy
that will have ia it what ia considered
a chance to farther break the "solid
South," ' 0' -V - if
The Lion tn the PetbV
Of course,' the lion in the path, ef this
project is to get Republican senators
to risk" thsir political supremacies in
fates where the negro vote cuts very
thick ice. and join in the plan to make
a Southern Republican party that eriU
appeal to the . whitejotere. , That the
protection talk- from certain aourece In
tbe South appeals to the old-fine Be-publirt-n
leaders is clear, and it is rea
soned -that if the Southern Republican
party is shaped np so aa to get rid of
the negro domination stigma that it will
have a chance to make a stronger ap
peal to the Southern white man. '
The inference from what I have
learned hi that there is a regular sys
tem being worked sot, , and that, the
nomination of Iiaaey is merely pert
ef that system, a cog in Its wheels, and
that it was fully understood by At
torney General Dangherty and P real
dent Harding when his nomination was
agreed npon tha he bad taken a de
cided stand apoa the question of the
negro in the Be publican party. That
the administratioa is standing pat on
the Iinney nomination is understood,
sad it ia nlso the understanding thnt
the delay in having the sub-committee
of the Senate go ahead with Its investi
gation ef the charges ef the negros
against Unney ia due to the fact that
pressure ia being brought npon certain
senators to have them see the light as
tbe administration sees it ' Senators en
the judiciary committee are nnderstood
not to have been informed of the ad
ministratioa. view of the conditions
sought to be eofteaed la the South,
hence their bucking when the Idnney
nomination - was struck with the negro
lash. These senators are being given
time to think things over, and when
the time ia ripe then there will be ac
