Rocky Mount Gentleman Nol
to Contest For Mr.
Poo's Seat
It ia understood that Mr. T.
Thorne of Rocky Mount, who was
prominently mentioned as a randi
date for congress in the Fourth dis
trict, will not contest for Congress'
man's Pou's seat, but will be a can
didate for the state senate from Nai
county. Mr. A. T. Zollicoffer of
Henderson and Solicitor Herbert E
Norris of Raleigh have not made
definite announcements as to thei
intentions, and it is believed that
they will be found in the running. It
is not known whether Mr. R. H
Hayes of Chatham will be in the
race or not.
Mr. Thorne is mighty favorably
known in North Carolina and hii
friends will be glad to knev chat
he is considering running fur the
senate. With legislative experience
behind him, Mr. Thorne would add
strength to the senate, and many
of his friends here say there is n
doubt of his being nominated if he
aspires to the honor.
Solicitor Norris has not definite'
ly announced hiB candidacy, but i
is thought he will commit" himself
in the next few weeks. The Rai
eight gentleman has a s-'plenrtid
record back of him, has great
strength in Wake county and many
other counties in the district and
would give Mr. Pou a great time
Mr. Norris' friends say he would
win.

Mr. Litchford said that his commit
tee represented the different organi
sations and the people of Raleigh;
He said as North Carolinians p.i.
elgh cttlzeens were proud of the fact

Raleigh's claims, sala that "we are
only asking you to come here " The
town belongs to you; we are ready
to throw open our doors to you."
Ha reminded the committee that a
republican convention had not been
held in the eastern part of the state
In 12 years. He then recited the
growth of the republican party in
eastern North Carolina. In Wake
county, particularly, has the repub
lican party" grown. He said the
eastern section Is polling over 45 per
cent of the republican vote, In spite
of the democratic press, and he
urged the committee to show the
astern people what a splendid gath
ering of men Is. "Down here we
haven't had a chance to see what a
republican convention Is like," and
he urged the committee , to come
her and not be afraid of what
democratic papers say about us, be
cause we are all right."
Judge R. W. Winston, told the
committee that they would find a,Promliel 1.200 next time. He said
very great change in respect to this 1th9 Charlotte papers Would give fair

hotel, transportation and auditorium
facilities. He spoke-, of t lie per feci
marvel of railroads hero. The Coun
try Club will be thrown -open to'vini.
It is dry enough in one 'department
for Virgil Lusk; it is vet enough
for the speaker stopped, and some
body suggested Tom Seule. He wel
comed the people here with a cordial
welcome, promising even- iulvjHitiiKe
of a cosmopolitan capita! city. Judge
Winston spoke of the warm recep
tion given to Senator Cabot Lodge
and of what he said about the audi
torium. It was the ".finest he had
ever seen. The auditorium is ar
ranged with respect to its hearing
qualities. And if there Is anything
else you want, name it. Judge Win
ston concluded. .
Mr. James II. Pou next, snoke fnr
Raleigh, saying that the people here
will undertake to furnl.sh every con
venience, including ten sei;ir:iie
halls for the various conurcHsiiinui
delegations, Mr. Pou spoke of the

promised royal entertainment..
Mr. Clarence O. Kuester re n re

committee not to be swept off its
ieet ty this handsome delegation.
He then Bpoke of Charlotte's railroad
facilities, six hotels with no extra
charge, the Charlotte auditorium.
Mr. Kuester said he was a young
mand and did not know what the
gentleman who spoke for Raleleh
meant when ho spoke of "knocking

Mr, warren Vines Hull nnb nr
Charlotte geographically and politi
cally and Insisted that a great sav

spokf - of the fact, .that , Charlotte
gave 800 Totes to1 Mr. f 4ft. and
from 'Greensboro! saying: "We will
see thai your wants are satisfied."
Col, Harry Skinner moved that the
coiuiniti'ee go into executive session
to decide the question.
COMMITTEE NOTES.
i!r. E. B. Jeffress, secretary of the
Greensboro News Company, is in the
city to report the meeting of the re
publican executive committee. He
handled the Raleigh end of the news
for his paper several months ago and
knows just where to get the "dope."
Mr. Nixon S. Plummer, another
member of The News Btaff, will ar
rive this evening to report the ban
quet. .
Mr. Winder R. Harris, son of Col.
and Mrs. J. C. L. Harris, .is In Ral
eigh to report tire meeting of the
committee for the Charlotte Ob
server, of which he is news editor.
.Mr. Harris has been on The Ob
server over a year and is one of the
best all round newspaper men in
the state.
J3 .-.:.'. . ' ' " Ci
Hon. Thos. Settle is one of the bis
men attending the meeting of the
committee, and it Is said that he
will be a bigger man next fall. It
is practically certain, according to a
leading republican, that Mr. Settle
will be the candidate of the repub
licans for governor, and if he is he
will run on a local option plat
form. That's what Mr. Settle be
lieves In, they say, and he would not
take the nomination unless the plat
form were to his liking.
Another bit of talk going the
rounds Is that ex-Senator Marion
Butler is aspiring to oust Hon'. B. C,
Duncan as , national committeeman
from this state. Mr. Duncan left
Washington last night for Raleigh.
The Roosevelt candidacy has
caused the brethren to take notice.
The treatment of the party in this
state by Mr. Taft even if this
treatment was at the Instance of the
colonel has left scars that' never
will heal and many of the leaders
are avowed supporters of the colonel.
The party in thia state must swine
on to both home of the dilemma,
or the devil may take them.
In the lobby of the Tar boron eh
last . Bight republican were saying
that Roosevelt sentiment was tnlehtv
strong among members of the ex
ecutive committee and outsiders were
wondering whether an effort would
be made this afternoon to commit
the party to the colonel. Mr. More
head said yesterday that the en
dorsing of a candidate is not a
proper matter for the committee,
but for the convention. So far as
the chairman ia concerned, it would
appear, there win be no endorse
ment of any man.
What is proposed as a happy solu
tion to the dilemma is an uninstruet-
ed delegation to the Chicago con
vention. In such an event the dele
gates could 'vote as they pleased
and as North Carolina's vote comes
rather far down the line, the Tar
Heel delegation would be able to
set a pretty good line on the candi
date before casting their votes. In
this-way the parlv would not be
placed in the attitude of opposing
the nominee, and would be relieved
of considerable embarrassment
should the ticket bo clected-which
democrats say is not at all likely.
Hon. A. E. Hoitott who without
doubt is one of the ablest district
attorneys in the raited States is
scheduled for a toast at the ban
que tonight on "What. We Can Do."
If the toast were on "What I Have
Done," Mr. Holton could charter a
few special trains and bring them
from Atlanta," 'for. he-.certainly, has
done things in the western district.
Also he could dant;l'v;i few political
scalps at his belt- ami point with
pride..
Another district 'attorney in Ilal-
eigh- though he Irf not '.down for a
oast is lion. Herbert F. lieawel!,
hn succeeded the I Inn. Harry Skin
ner. .Mr. Sea .veil is net st polii iuan
in the ordinary sense oi tin; Mi,
and . has not. bec-n as i-.m-c essfiil ns
some of the other leaders, but he
is one of the finest -men i i the state.
Newspaper reporters' swear by aim,
and if. his party is successful next
tali it is hoped by many of his news
paper .friends that: he. will continue
to hold his office. lie is a good
oliieer. ....
When this was written the .com
mittee, had not nut, but the dope
Wd-i that Charlotte would get the
convention to name delegates to the
naional convention and that itcleiMi
would get the: second convention -that
to nominate a state ticket and
frame a platform. Charlotte boosters
were in evidence last night, but dur
ing the day Raleigh supporters v e
much in evidence.
That is a fine, looking set of men
attending the meeting of the com
mittee and some of the hirsute
adornments cannot be beaten. Kx
Senator Butler is willing to waser
that his "brush" is the most elab
orate of any in the stale. Any
takers? ''..'
Though the Hon.-E. C. Duncan
was not present In the lobby of the
Yarborough last night, he xaa not
the least talked of man there. His
attitude toward President Taft was
much considered and they were won
dering if he had really beaten the
others to the support of Colonel
Roosevelt, who has a lot of strength
In this state. Whatever Mr. Duncan
j has done, please remember that w hen
it comes to losing your uncle Carl ,
it is a tough proposition. J.'.r.
Duncan can take care of himself
with one hand and look after his
opponents with the other.
KOOKKVK1.T CLTO ORGANIZED
Resolutions Adopted Commending
Ihe Colonel and Denouncing Taft.
(Special to The Times.)
Asheville, Feb. 28. Hon. Rich
mond Pearson, Dr. A. T. Pritchard
and others returned"- from .Marshall
where they went to help in the
organization of a "Roosevelt Club"
for Madison county. They report
that they had a very-enthusiastic
meeting, that the sentiment was
overwhelmingly in favor of the nom
ination of Mr. Roosevelt, and evi
dence was presented to show that
he will without doubt get a solid del
egation from the ninth congressional
district. The meeting was held in
the county court house and It v;as
filled to Its capacity., The organiza
tion of the club was perfected, of
ficers were elected and resolutions
Introduced and passed in support of
Colonel Rooseveit and in denuncia
tion of President Taft. There were
a number of enthusiastic speeches
and Mr. Pearson read letters from
prominent republicans all over the
state which indicated that the rank
and file of the republican prty is
demanding the nomination of Theo
doro Roosevelt for president. They
declare that there are only four or
five Taft supporters in the county
and that Madison will send a solid
delegation to ask that the national
delegates be instructed for the
colonel. Every section of the county
was represented.
The meeting was presided over
by Coleman Ramsey and "George
Pritchard, a son of Judge J. C.
Pritchard, made a ten minutes
speech in which be stated the object
of the meeting. The folio! wng of
ficers were elected: Oeor.'e Pritchard
president; Ira Plemmons of Hot
Springs, vice president; O. L. Mc-
Kinney of Marshall, secretary; : Mr,
Ramsey made abort but vigorous
speech. v H .,
Brilliant speeches were Mad by
Colonel V.; B, Lusk and Hob, Rich
mond Pearson. -M-r. Pearson read a
copy of a letter from Charles Green
of Bakersville, which was addressed
to Hon. J. M. Morehead, in which he
stated that the republicans of the
ninth district demand the nomina
tion of Roosevelt. Mr. Green
is
state committeeman. He then read
letters from other sections several
frdm the eastern .part of the state.
in wnicn tne same demands were
expressed, one from Sampson conn
ty in which it was stated that all
the republicans in that county, with
the exception of nine office holders
are favoring Roosevelt for presi
dent.
The Roosevelt supporters1 here are
now certain that he will have the
solid backing of the delegates in the
ninth district and they are equally
sure that the two delegates from the
tenth district will be Instructed for
him.
In the resolutions President Taft
is severely denounced for a number
of his acts and policies, and especi
ally for his withdrawal of the nom
inations to 1 0 federal offices in this
state, which the "resolutions affirm
shows that the offices are to be filled
upon recommendation of the faction
al leader who rounds up the largest
number of delegates for Mr. Taft,
which "differs only from bribery in
that the price for these delegates is
to be held not out of the Drivate
pocket but out of the federal treas
ury." The resolutions are: ..
1. We the members of the Roose
velt club of Madison county re
solve:
1 That we commend the Hon.
ineouore- Uoosevelt for the great
service which he has rendered the
nation in the past and exnres our
ippreciatlon of his willingness to
igain serve his country.
i. 1 hat we lend our every f-f-
tort toward sending a delegation to
the state convention pledged to work
in and out of season for a .delega
tion to Chicago instructed to vote
lor the nomination of Theminro
Roosevelt for president of. the l iiit-
ed States.
.. that we resent the attitude
iiusuiu) "men i-resi(ient Tail has
consistently manifested toward
southern republicans and pledge our
selves to work to the end that 'the
republican party in North Carolina
may be freed of the unjust atti
tude or omce seekers and political
ferls in whli-h the president has been
want to place us.
4. President : Taft has. 'recently
oy. a single order withdrawn 10
nominations to federal offices in
North Carolina without any question
being raised as to the character and
fitness of the nominees, leaving it
to oe understood that all these of
fices are to be filled upon the rec
ommendation of the factional loader
who rounds up the largest number
ol delegates for Mr, Taft in the ap-
pioaciiing state convention. We un
hesitatingly and Indignantly, de
nounce this action of the president
it differs only from bribery In that
tne price of these delegates is to be
paid not out of the private pocket
out out ot the federal treasury. Such
a course tends to prostitute the pub
lic service and deserves the repro
bation of every lover of good gov
ernment and good morals.
5. That we protest against the
great discrimination which the presi
dent has shown in favor of repub
licans in other states of the country
to the neglect of southern republi
cans and demand that the republican
party in North Carolina of 114,000
voters be accorded the same treat
ment that is accorded the party in
other sections of the nation.
