There were frequent conferences between the Colo nel and the Governor at the, executive offices nnd as a result of these confer ences the Viison hoinn soon l.e.aiee a thing to be reckoned with by the 'Oil Guard" in control of party affairs In the nation.

In recent months has attracted so wide attention as the story of Joseph P. Tumulty on Woodrow Wilson, which is now appear ing in The News and Obawrrer. Al though thpy have not yet reached the point in the career of the former President in which the public la most vitally interested, they are being read with intense interest all over North Curolinnr though The Newa and Obser. ver. Some comment showing their popularity follows: Dr. Livingston Johnaon, Raleigh: Not in many a day have I read anything more thrillingly interesting than ths' articles by Mr. Joseph Tumulty which lire now running in The News and Ob. aerver. The first of these articles has elarilied the atmosphere very decided ly. They have shown that Mr. Wilson has been greatly misunderstood and misrepresented. Certain jets were at tributed to him for which he was not responsible, and yet the whole blame of OiiYs-e wlio vv ere displeased by wTiat hel did was placed on his shoulders. His position as President of the United States pealed his lips and for bade his defending himself against these attacks. Hut Mr. Tumulty, be cause of his relation to the President is able to speak with authority and Mr. Wilson is now coming into the white light. He has borne greater bur dens, perhaps, than any American citi zeii has ever borne, and in addition to tho fearful responsibility that rested upon his shoulders he was compelled to endure the impist charges made by men who were tilled with petty jealousies. Mr. Tumulty is not only doing justice to President Wilson, but he is rendi. ring a great service to th" American people by writing a true his tory of the gre:it man who practically gave his life to his country and the world. Jtldg W, P. 8acy, Raleigh: I think The News and Observer is rendering a real service, to the people at large, in publishing 4he Tumulty articles. la tiits way, liiey. ulU.iia ..mora .xidely read than otherwise, and they contain accurate knowledge of facts which every citizen should be glad to make his own. The publication is also well timed. Now that the bitter contest is over, the subject of his th.'-nie will begin to take his proper place in the annals of his day.

The three who are in the running as sltrvwn by the list of eligibles tht was submitted to Postmaster General Hays today, are J. H. Armfield, Simeon A. Hodgin and Roscoe C. Chandley, they standing in the order of the names given. It is known here that Hodgin and Chandley are Republicans, but it has not been found possible tonight to locate the politics of Armfield. But at anv rate there are Republicans from which the party bosses will have to make a choice, so it niay be sometime before the name of tho winner reaches the Senate. Storm Over McCaakill. The storm begins to break about the head of A. U MeCmkill, of Uayette ville, tho nominee of President Hard ing for Collector of the Port of Wil mington. That former Senator Butler is opposed to the confirm: tion of Mr. MeCaskill has been stated from time to time, the understanding being that he has had tho nomination held up at the White House months jsfter.il came across the street from Secretary Mel jon. "I have no comment to make," said Senator Butler when he learned of the nomination having reached the Senate, and he is still making no com ment. But he has been receiving tele "rams from the State opposing Mc CsikiU's confirmation, and these eome from Republicans who express them selves as being ''shocked'' at the nomi nation, that his confirmation would deal the Kubliran party a wallop that would put it to sleep. Here is one of the telegrams as a sample ex hibit that fmint to former Senator lintler today from Wilmington and is signed by H. S. Trott, n president of the New Hanover Republican club, and reads: Wilmington Shocked. "People of Wilmington shocked at nomination of MeCaskill for Goileetor of Customs here. Please org the President to withdraw it. His con firmation would be knock-out blow to the Republican party and it mut be defeated." "What was your reply, what are vou going tu'dn in the matter?" was asked of Mr. Butler, and b. reply was: "I have wared to all parties who have telegraphed nie, advising them that t lit-v send their telegrams dttcct to the White House.'' Beyond that he had nothing to say. That there may be some lively doings in the Senate may be pos sible, for it is still remembered that when Mr. M'CaskiM was nominated for postmaster at K ay ettev ille that his iioin mat ion was held up, that there were charges tiled against him, and that he was never continued.

NEWS RECEIVED WITH DEEP REGRET AT THE CAPITAL Washington, Nov. 4. (By the As sociated Press.)

It was an unhappy, discordant note, he said, in a formal statement, at a time when all were seeking to come together around the conference table ami add to the good understanding and good wil throughout the world.

Serloas Los to Japan The Peuth of Premier Hara, who had atained a dominating political . influence in the Japanese Empire and who waa expected personally to shape from Tokio the Japanese policy at the forthcoming conference, is a very serious loss to Japan at a time when that country is passing through a period of intense transition. The Emperor, Yoshihito, is incurably ill, mentally and physically, and is no longer abie to carry on his duties. It is understood that plans have been under consideration to establish a re goiicy uuder the Crown Prince, iliro hito, who recently returned from a four of Europe. Mi.
