BUTLER ATTACKS THE STATE REPUBLICAN ORGANIZATION Former Senator Marion Butler, now practicing law in Washington, and who for some time past has been at outs with the management of the Republican party in North Carolina, has recently issued a circular letter to many members of his party in the State in which he launches an attack on Chairman Bramham and the or ganization of the party in general in North Carolina. He attacks the representation of 3 members en the State committee from each congressional district as being undemocratic. He recalls that it is more objectionable because two of these members are selected by the State chairman. Butler charges that the Republican organization is a patronage machine and exists for the purpose of doling out federal patronage and that no efforts are made to further the party interests in the State. Butler char acterizes the present organization as the “hog combine” and observes that its members get most of the federal jobs. * PARTY RETURNS FROM TRIP TO STATE OF FLORIDA Misses Pauline Roberts and Annie Spake, and Messrs.
