CAPT. CROZIER RELIEVED
BY SECRETARY OF WAR
Order Also Extended to the
Recorder oil, Board.
Action Taken With the Idea That it Will
Influence Senate to Confirm
His Nomination.

The contest between the Admipistra-
tion and the Senate over the confirmation
of the appointment of Capt William
Crozier to be brigader general and chief
of the Army Ordnance Department prom
ises to be one of the most interesting of
its kind in many years.
Just before he left Washington for New
York, en- route to Cuba, the Secretary of
War signed an order relieving from fur
ther duty as members of the Board of Ord
nance and Fortifcations both General
Crozier and Capt. l. y. Lewis, the recorder
of he board
Why Action Was Taken.
This action. it is frankly admitted at
the War Department. was taken with the
idea that 1t would influence the Senate to
confirm the nomination of Crozier to be
Chief of Ordnance. 1t is believed at the
War Department that the, chances for
favorable action are nowe excellent.
The principal objection raised by the
Senate to the confirmation of Captain
Crozier as Chief OF Ordnance with the
rank of brigadier general was that, being
hlmSelf an inventor OF army ordnance,
he was not qualified to be a member of the
Board of Ordnance and Fortifications,
which judges all ordnance designs and de-
termnes whether OF not they shall be
adopted as types for the United States
Army. The relief of General Crozier is
therefore a concession on the part of the
War Department to the demands of the
Senate, and was done at the earnest re-
quest of certain Senator's friendly to the
officer.
Captain Lewis Also an Inventor.
Capt. /. N. Lewis. the other officer af-
fected by the order. is also an inventor of
ordnance. among which is the range and
position finder now used at all seacoast
fortffications. He is also the alleged dis
coverer of the secret of the French field
gum now before the Board of Ordnance
and FOrtifications for adoption by the
army as a type. Ii relieving CroZier for
being an inventor. 1t was. of course. nee
essary to take similar action in the case
OF Lewis.
Although the officials OF the War De-
partment do not believe that General
Crozier is not qualified to act iudiciously
in determining ordnance types, it was
realized. il is said. that concessions must
be made to the Senate to procure his con-
firmation as Chief of Ordnance. In such
position he will not have the power to
determine types. but will simply carry
out the directions of the Board OF Ord
nance and Forti1cations. 1t is believed
by army officers that his nomination viii

Sumter, S. c., June 17.-The
first meeting in the campaign for
State officers was held in the opera
house today. The meeting was
called to order at 11:15 with only
19S persons present The crowd
increased in size gradually until
there was few more than 800.
When all the candidates for gov.
ernor Lad finished speaking save
DIR. Zimmerman, fully one e-half
the ardience left to get dinner and
the remaining candidates spoke on
to weary hut patti Mt handful.
The gubernatolia ial candidates
opened the ball, speaking in al :.
phabetical order, each one being
allotted 80 minutes. Capt. d. G
Hayward was the only candidate
greeted with any enthusiasm and
he was heartily applauded at
Intervals throughout his apeech,
which was Il strong and clear out
line of his POSITION on all issues.
Lieutenant Governor Tillman,
who seeks promotion, is evidently
out to take the.scalp of ralbert.l
Speaking immediately after him,
he said that Colonel TaIbert was
evidently candidate for United
States senator, judging from the
way he went on about the trusts,
but he would like to know and so
would the people, why Colonel
Falbert left the halls of Congress
where be might do some good
and came down here seeking the
office he expects. The greater
part of his speech he devoted to
explanations of his notorious rul
ing in theSenate on the Kibler bill
and his subsequent exposure by
The State newspaper. He charg-
ed Editor Gonzales with putting
words in his mouth he never used
and appealed to the Senate journal
as the only record of the matter
for his entire vindication. He
denied having ever SAID that Speak
er Henderson and Senator Frye
had sustained his ruling.
All of the candidates for Cover,
nor favor good roads a..d the lib.
eral support of colleges, liberal
pensions for veterans, improve
ment of public schools, the child
labor law and the maintenance of
the dispensary, They condemn
trusts and all agreed on all the
points of well>defined Democratic
doctrines.
Colonel Talbert bitterly de.
neunced Commercial Democrats,
comparing them to midnight as
sassins, though disclaiming any
intention to speak of our. junior
senator, who he said, was so dead
there was NO use beating the
corpse.
None OF the other candidates
put much ginger into their speech

Special to Greenville News

Columbia, S. c., June IT,
Ihe opening meeting of the SEN
atoral campaign here today was
thoroughly quiet and orderly
one, devoid of personalities and
spats and about the only speech
with ginger in it was that of John
Gary Evans, who was the last of
the senatorial speakers. The
striking feature of the meeting
was the presence of so many ladies
many of them social leaders in the
capital city.
The speeches all dealt with the
leading national issues following
the line of those delivered last
summer, omftting, however, all
direct reference. to John l.. Nc
LauriD.

ed upon McLaurin, however, and
was the real feature of the meet,
ing. He referred to his own DO
lltical record, tossed stones In the
direction of Mr.. Latlmer and went
for Cuba and the Cubans.
On the stage at this opening
meeting were noted governor,
an ex-governor, three present
congressman and two ex congress.
men. The crowd at one time was
about 900, and there was nearly
as many ladies' as men in the thea.
ter.
Congressman Latimer was the
first Speaker. Mr.. Latimer began
by remarking that evidently the
people of Golumbia were interest
ed in something besides politics.
The city had awakened from its
lethargy and was destined to be-
come one OF the greatest cities of
the country. He hoped its pros
perity would be unlimited. He
urged the continuance of the man
ufacture of law material by the
cities of the State.
Last summer there seemed to
have been an issue in South Car
olina politics, but now there was
none in the senatorial race, be-
tween him and his opponents it
was simply question OF person
al choice and not measures. He
stood entirely on his record and
asked to he measured entirely
thereby. The best man should have
the office. He held that the admin
istratiop, of the Philippine affairs
had been cruel and nhwisa. Every
foreign country had right to en-
ter these islands on the same
terms a, we do and yet we have
spent five hundred millions of dol
lars, destroyed thousands of these
people and of our own troops
when the whole trade of the coun-
try does not amount to over thirty
million dollars, of which we get
only about one-fourth. 1t is entail
ing curses upon our people that
will last forever, and there is not
one feature in it that is of value
10 us. We have hard task upon
our hands. Not a line of scripture
authorizes the spread of Christian
ity by the sword. If we hold to
the Philippines the next step will
be to conqner China anl then Asia
and then will come oar downfall.
We are taking identically the
same step that Rome took and we
may look for the same result if

essary that we look after our com
merce, but it is not necessary for
us to annex other countries. The

us no advantage over other coun-

The canal question is still an
issue'in Congress. It Is important
Just now to decide Just which
route is the best He favored an
act authorizing the President to
negotiate for the building of the
best route.
He favored everything of inter-
est to the Southland. He was no
lawyer and had not consumed time
in the study of constitutional oucs
tions, but had always locked af-
ter matters of general interest to
the people.
He wanted to deepen and widen
the Congaree river ut Columbia
and would do all he could to get
appropriations therefor. The peo-
pie would never have occasion to
denounce his vote. He stuck to
the platform and consulted the
wishes Of the people. Whenever
u man was not in harmony with
the people he should not ask their
votes. He was no time server or
current hoater. He would not
denounce or pull down his opoo
nents who were good and hon.
orable men [applause).
Mr.. Henderson followed with a
speech complimentary to Colum>
hia and its business development
and then going on to deal with the
ship subsidy, the Philippine poll
cy and other matters as be did
last summer.
Colonel George Johnstone re.
called the time when he, us the
first messenger, entered Columbia,
after Sherman's vandal hordes
had burned the city, and gazed
upon its desolation. From that
boyhood time unit! nov he had
always been Columbia's friend.
He rejoiced over the new tight
that had come to the city. Daily
over 100 trains enter and leave the
city, .but the chief interest of the
people now lies in the Congurec
river, which must be developed in
order to control traffic.

T The opening of the congaree,

lima. AS Governor Hammond ex-
pressed it, the question of the next
best thing "for the people Of
South Carolina to turn their at
tention to was the building of the
lStuulluu canal.
So far as the South is concerned
the subsidizing of ships would keep
us in the same financial subserv-
iency that now controls us.
He pictured the Filipinos as
having the same aspirations and

the same God as we have. We
should make them friends, not un-

them to the ground with bayonets
