Plans of Roosevelt Boosters
Special to Enterprise.
Chicago, June 14. The com
mittee seated the two Taft con
testants in Third Oklahoma dis
trict today after a terrific wran
gle. The first blood was spilt
just outside th committee room,
when Grant Victor of Oklahoma,
swung hard his right to the

THE PLANS
Chicago, June 14. Roosevelt,
leaders divided over three plans
of action and Roosevelt himself
is expected to come here to de
cide. The first is to fight from
the start, proposes storming con
vention within the convention
hall regardless of what the Taft
forces may do. The second plan
ignores Taft forces entirely and
involves staying away from
Coliseum, forming Jjic organiza
tion s separate convention and
nominating Roosevelt. Third
plan is to go into regular conven
tion accept roll of temporary or
ganization as made up by Taft
and the national committee and
then, fight the whole battle on re
gular lines. This plan involves
substitution of the name of Sen
ator Uorah, of Idaho, for Senator
Root of New York. Taft men
continued to insist today that no
matter what action Roosevelt
may take he cannot win. Talk ol
'T)ark Horse" grew today. Man
gin between leading candidates
small and shifting. Many leader
fear Taft-Roosevelt split will hurl
local changes victory.

The Publlo Library
The Enterprise is anxious that
the Library question take some
tangible form. As the matter
was gone over some time ago
there are several ways by which
the building may be secured
We do not know the sentiment
of the community on either plan.
While the matter is under dis
cussion the Enterprise would like
to make another suggestion.
is very evident that the city wi'
soon have to provide a building
for a high school. In doing so it
might be well to provide for the
Public Library in the same
building. This could be done
without much more cost to the
city and by making 4 or 5 class
rooms on the first floor for the
High School, it would make the
needed room in the other build
ings for sometime to come.
The second story could be used
for the Library, having a front
entrance from the ground with
broad granite steps which would
guc a very attractive front.
Under this plan the property
would belong to the city and tiie
matter of its maintenance would
ie ea-y.
It would not be out of place
for the authorities to have 1
drawing made of such a truc
Hire in order to get at the cost,
etc.
THE WINSTON ROAD
The last measurements taken
bv the committee with Engineer
June Johnson yesterday afternoon
showed some advantages in the
route by way of llorneytown at
the some time accommodating
people along the route 'who have
been interested in the road from
the first. If this route is finally
agreed upon tins week it will go
bv I Iornevtown, thence in almost
a direct line through the Hedge
cock farm to Beeson's Mill and
on to Teaguctown. People along
this route have agreed to do some
extro work through a piece of
woods which will be considered
bv the committee. We want to
begin to throw dirt next week.
Bird 8. Color the
Orator
The committee appointed to se
lect a speaker for the Fourth of
July has extended an invitation
to Mr. Bird S. Coler, and he has
accepted. The Enterprise con
gratulates the committee on the
selection.
Mr. Coler is not only a prom
inent business man, who is large
ly interested in the development
of the Piedmont Section, but for
years was a proqiinent figure in
public affairs in the State of New
York. He will make a practical
address calculated no doubt to do
great good in a progressive com
munity like High Point. He will
have a large crowd to hear him.
SECURES COACH DOAK
The' High' Point ball team has
secured Doak, the famous coach,
for their team work. Under Mr.
Doak the team will practice each
day til lthey are brought up to a
point where they can play as
good, if not better ball than any
team in the Piedmont League. As
the extra expense will have to be
met by the volunteer contribu
tions from our citizens, it is urg-
d that those of our public spir
ited citizens will respond prompt
ly to the ca'l for aid which is to
put us ill the front rank with a
winning team.
We call attention to the an
nouncement of the Bank of Com
merce in this issue.; A reorgan
ization with $60,000 increased
capital.

The Club Dulldlng
There is considerable interest
in the suggestion of a club build
ing for the Manufacturers Club
and Woman's Club, the combine
membership of which is nearly
700. There is little doubt but
J
that the plan is both feasible as
well as practical and there are
many members in both organiza
tions that would like to see thi
matter take on. tangible form.
To this end J. J. Farriss, presi
dent of the Manufacturers Club
and Miss Irvin Paylor, president
of the Woman's Club, will ap
point a special committee at once
who will meet at an early date
and discuss thoroughly the advis
ability of carrying out such s
plan.
The Enterprise might go over
some plans that could be agreed
upon to advantage, but perhaps
it will be best that they be sub
mitted to the committee first.
