Obear, quarter master general of State troops, whose dismissal from his present office has been vigorously recommended .by Ad jutant General Joseph VanHolt Nash, J will return to Atlanta Monday morn ing for a further conference with the Governor in regard to the controversy and its settlement. General Nash has stated unequivo cally that he will not recognize Gen eral Obear as quartermaster general after January 1, and will decline ail official intercourse with him beyond that date, and as January 1 is on!/ three days removed from Monday morning, it looks as if the trouh'e inside the State Military Department Is reaching a genuine and acute cli max. The Adjutant General, far from re ceding from any position he has as sumed, is apparently as detennir^ 1 as ever to force matters to a final and complete conclusion between Obear and himself. His attitude generally is accepted to mean that there is not room inside the military establishment for both Obear and himself, and that one or the other must go. The Governor feels keenly the tenseness of the situation, and real izes that it will be difficult of adjust ment. If he sustains Nash, that elim inates Obear from the service, and if he sustains Obear, that eliminates j Nash. Obear Sees Governor. General Obear already has had one conference with the Governor, in which he is said to have contended tliat his position Is perfectly legal, and that Nash’s contentions are not sincere. He is understood to lay tho entire hostility of Nash to personal dislike and politics. He admits know ing that Nash is opposed to him, and says he has endeavored to be as dipl »- matic as possible in conducting him self for that reason. Asked over long-distance phone Saturday night whether he had any thing to say, General Obear replied: “The Governor is the commander- in-chief of the State militia, and my very superior officer. 1 shall not dis cuss departmental matters outside of his office, without his permission, and 1 ha yc not asked for that, as I do not care to try my case in the news papers.” What Nash Thinks. General Nash takes the position that Obear’s removal is merely a question of legal duty. He says the office of quartermaster "moral Is not recognized under the Dick Federal law, and that to permit it to be oc cupied by anybody merely - entails \ useless and unwarranted expense $2,750 per annum upon the depart ment. Unless the Governor acts between this date and Neyv Year’s Day, Nash likely will promulgate an official or der dismissing Obear and declaring his office vacant, and then call up m the Governor either to sign it with him or refuse to do so. Nash’s position seems to be that Neyv Year’s Day must sec either Nash or Obear out of the State’* mil itary service. MEN SMOKE AT POLLS WOMEN’S IRE ROUSED CHICAGO, Dec. 27.—When Chi cago women voters go to the polls next spring, they will be com pelled to mark their ballots in a haze of tobacco smoke.

RALEIGH, Deo. 27.—Raleigh Re publicans look with considerable com placency upon the recently announced program of reorganization. Colonel Harry Skinner, until three years ago District Attorney of the Eastern District, has been here this week, and by a leading Democrat is quoted as saying that the sole hope of the party in the South is the plan adopted a few days ago. Colonel Skinner’s view' is that the trading power of the South has been too great. Lester F. Butler, brother of former Senator Marion Butler, declares that the old organization in the South yvas opposed to growth and that the new plan will help. Ex-Senator Butler says the present State organization opposes reorganization because it de poses present leaders and gives the opportunity to "row. .Such leaders as former Attorney General Zeb Vance WaJser. ex-Con- gressman Richmond Pearson. ex-Sec- retary of State Cyrus W. Thompson. Judge W. S. O’B. Robinson, leading Republicans two years 'ago. declare that they are no longer of the faith, but they believe the plan now yvould have saved the party from defeat last year.
