CAPERS OUT FOR CONGRESS Announces that He will R'jn en !tC' publican Ticket for Congress from This District. Cant. John G. Capers, of Greenville, South Carolina member of the repub lican national committee, announced last Wednesday that he would be a candidate for congress against Joseph T. Johnson, the present representa tive. In an interview at the Gresham ho tel in Spartanburg, where he wus con ferring with republicans from several counties of the Piedmont, Captain Ca pers declared that be would give Mr. Johnson a hot race. "There are 12,000 voters in the Fourth congressional district," said Captain Capers, "who have come here from North Carolina and Tennessee and are working in the mills. The?e men will vote for a republican candi date If he is a clean, decent white man. There has been no opportun ity here to vote for a republican of good repute for 1G years. These men are naturally republicans and would vote the republican ticket if there Were a republican organization and republican candidate of which they were not ashamed. As there lias been no respectable republican party, they have had to' turn to the democratic primary. "Furthermore, the mill presidents will remove their estoppai if the re publican party will put forward re spectable candidates. Heretofore they have discouraged In a neffectivc way any movement on the part of their employes to support the republic an party, but that was because the par ty was controlled by negroes and such men as Joe Tolbert. The mill presi dents like Lewis W. Parker, of Green ville, are friendly to me and would have no objection to their employes voting for me." Can (Jet Puhlic Buildings. Captain Capers said that he esteem ed Congressman Johnson, but that the latter was not in a position to do much for the district. "If the voters of this congressional district will send me to congress," said Captain Capers, "I will be of great value to them. I will secure public buildings, for one thing." The republican nomination is made by convention and not by the demo cratic method of a primary. There is no doubt, however, of Captain Ca pers' ability to secure the nomina tion. However, the "black and tan" re publicans may also put out a candi date. They nominated Tom Briar, a Greenville negro, for congress two years ago. Captain Capers said he was more interested in the establishment of a clean, respectable republican party in South Carolina than in the question of whether Taft or Roosevelt would be nominated. "I will frankly admit," said be. "that the party in South Carolina as up to this time constituted, has been a disreputable organization. I have bedn in disgrace with my family and intimate friends for being a repub lican. And as the principles for which the republican party stands are as dear to me as my personal integ rity, It is necessary for me to remove the stigma which attaches to the name of republican in South Carolina by establishing a respectable party." Captain Capers said that the title "lily whites" was a misnomer, as negroes would not be entirely ex cluded from the Cnpers-Hlalock par ty. In some of the coast counties there are. no white republicans at all, he said, and It would be" necessary to have a few negro delegates, but col ored men of unquestioned respect ability would be chosen. lie said that probably six of the "lily white" delegates to the repub lican national convention would be negroes.?Spartanburg Journal.
