TO SECURE ENTIRE
STATE DELEGATION
FOR ROOSEVELT
May John
SI. of the Republican state
executive committee and Mr. Gilliam
Grissom, secretary, arrived in the city
today from Spray and taken
rooms at the Yarborough preparatory
the State Convention tomorrow. Many
other prominent Republicans, most of
them wearing Roosevelt buttons or
badges, assembled during the day and
the lobbies of the hotels arc alive
with politicians. With the gathering
here of so many leaders the talk was
naturally of the probable action of
the convention tomorrow. The most
ardent Taft supporter was bound to
admit without equivocating that Col-
Roosevelt has a to
age over the president. The Teddy
crowd are simply in the ring,
around the hat, with a knife ready-
to scalp that which gets in the way.
The men have the weapons
and they may essay to use them.
It is the belief among the early
rivals than an effort will be made to
change the plan of organization where-
by the convention will not only elect
the four delegates at large, as it was
called to do, but will select a new
chairman and also a new national
Mr. Morehead. state
Chairman, has not been a Roosevelt
man, and the hope Is that the
crowd will remove him from the
scene of Zeb Vance Walser
of Lexington, former attorney
and now state manager of the
Roosevelt campaign, aspires to be
chairman, it is declared, and his
friends think his services entitle him
to head the Republican forces In North
Carolina.

activities of the three great
of the Baptist Church South,
the home and foreign mission boards

of the Joint committee of Northern
Baptists looking to the establishment

interest.
