ROOSEVELT DUMPS GILLErT

In ms speecnea tnfOuBhVuN Nnta cam-
paign Theodore A. Bell, the Democratic
candidate for governor. has boldly and
repeatedly asserted that Mr.. Roosevelt,
president Of the United States. would
refuse to indorse or support James N.
GnIett, his opponent. named by the
Southern Pacific machine.
Former Assemblyman r. G. Dale Of
Kern county, not familiar with Mr..
Bells sources Of information. decided
to probe this assertion, and wrote the
president asking him about It. The
letter in reply, printed In fun In The
Herald yesterday, says:
Srhe president regrets that
II - not possible for him 60 do as you
desire"
This refusal by the head of the Re-
publican party to stand for the
Southern Pacific machine nominee in
California need surprise no one. Mr.
Roosevelt is well known to be opposed
to machine rule in every case. He has
used all his great power to fight It. He
himself dictated and forced through the
nomination Of Mr.. Hughes in New York
iI direct opposition to boss rule in his
own party He sent members of his
cabinet into the New England states
to battle, and the way he, through
Taft, crushed the Cox machine in Ohio.
even though 1t involved the election of
a Democratic governor, is history. He
fought the rotten Republican ring in
Pennsylvania and beat 1t by supporting
Weaver in Philadelphia and a Demo-
cratic treasurer in the state at large.
He has stood with Colby in New Jersey
against the state Republican gang, and
even back in the days when he was in
New York city he fought the machine
early and late. He was elected gov
ernor by machine opposition, and he
fought his own nomination. to the vice
presidency because the bosses insisted
upon it to shelve him.
1t was to this man that the Republic
can-Southern Pacific, Herrin-Parker-
Hearst gang in California turned when
its Gillett became desperate for aid.
Bell dared them to do SO.
The president replies in just the Ian
guage that was expected; HE CAN DO
NOTHING FOR THE MACHINE. The
gang must founder through its own
muck and mire; he can proffer no help.
No cabinet member will rush to Gill
1etts rescue in California, as they did
to aid far less desperate candidates in
almost every other state. Roosevelt
will not put the stamp of his approval
on any S. P. puppet; he will not soil
his hands by giving a friendly lift to
any machine nominee
| Not for Roosevelt.
He prefers to see his own party go
down to defeat we'll merited, at the
hands of a clean Democrat, rather than
| lend his power to extricate boss
owned fgurehead from certain disaster.
That's the estimation in which the
head of the Republican party in the
nation holds it's candidates in Califor-
mia. That's the view the president of
the United States takes of the Southern
Pacific man for governor of the Golden
State.
Now, what do the Republican electors
of this state propose to do about it ?
Will they follow their party's head, the
leader of whose prowess and honesty
of purpose they prate so much, and
reject this Southern Pacific candidate.
as he has done? Or will they defy him
and ignore his condemnation, even as
they bolt the bitter dose with wry face
and rebellious stomachs?

PACT OF RAILROADS
DAvANT A,MITs THAT THERE IS
 AN UNDERMINING.
Declare. That the Business 0f the Nation Could Not Be Carried On Unless the Carriers Had An
 Agreement.

Washington. April 24.--when the hearing before the Interstate Commerce Commission under the Tillman- Giles pie resolution was resumed today, T.. Davant. freight trafic manager for the Norfolk and Western. was called as a witness
 He was asked by Mfr. Glasgow, of counsel for the Commission. if he knew oe any arrangement between the Nor folk and Western and the Chesapeake and Ohio by which the former was not to send coal into Washington. He said he did not: that his road sought at one time to send coal into Washington. but could not find terminal facilities. Replying to counsel. he said 1t was the idea that if the Norfolk and West ern undereook to go into Washington, the Pennsylvania would go into the Norfolk and Western territory. Mr. Glasgow asked if there was any understanding on that point, when Mir. Davant replied that 1t might be so considered
 Mir. Davant. replying to Mir. Glasgow. said the Pennsylvania did not control the Norfolk and Western and Chesa- peake and Ohio.
 He was asked if he had ever attended a conference between the tidewater and all rail lines representatives on New England rates. He said he had attend cd a meeting some time before April l. 1905. and the relative adjustment of rates of all rail lines and tidewater lines to New England was discussed. Replying to MT. Glasgow's inquiries. he said the all rail lines were under the impression that the tidewater lines were getting too much of the business and wanted their rates raised. Asked if it was proposed that tho all rail lines would lower their rates if the tide water lines did not raise theirs, the witness said there was an intimation to that effect. He added that subse- quently he received word from his exec utive officers that the, existing rate would be continued.
 The commercial trade considerations of this country. declared MT. Davant cannot he carried on unless there is some sort of understanding between the railroads as to rates.
 Mir. Glasgow took up the question of the withdrawal of the Norfolk and Western from the coal carrying trade to New York harbor Mir. Davant said his road went out of the coal carry Ing trade to New York because IL could not afford to stay there. Mir. Glasgow asked If the reason that rates on coal to New York were not adjusted so that the Norfolk and Western could not help itself. Mir. Davant assented [" that.

Merrimac Hero Has Been Nominated In the sixth District Over Colonel
 Hankhead By a Large Majority.

Birmingham, April 24.-(SpeciaL) )-- Great interest was taken in Birming- ham today in the result of the primary held yesterday .n the sixth congress ional district and early in the morning it was evident that clean majority had been gotten by Captain Richmond Pearson, Hobson over Congressman J. IT. Bankhead.v The late reports indi- cato that this majority will go over five hundred. Last night l.. B. Mus grove, of Jasper. manager for Captain Hobson, announced that the majority would be over seven hundred and to- day friends asserted that these figures were not far wrong.
 There will be but little change in figures which have come to Birming- ham from the various counties. Con- gressman Bankhead has carried Lamar Marion, Sumter. Greene and Tuscaloosa counties, the majority amounting to 435, while Captain Hobson has car ried Walker. Hale. Fayette and Pick ems counties, with a majority in all amounting to 950
 Captain Hobson has a clear majority over Congressman Bankhead. accord ing to official and unomcial reports, oi 6l5. There may be some changes and a number of boxes may be thrown out but 1t is not believed that the changes will be many nor will the result be far different.
 Captain Hobson's name will be given as much prominence again throughout, the country as it was a few years ago when he sunk the Merrimac in Santia- go bay He made gallant fight for the nomination in the sixth district and while due credit must be given to his managers, his own efforts were not light, he making from one to three speeches a day and visiting many oi the back beats in the eight counties comprising the district Reports re- ceived from Captain Hebsons home town, Greensboro, are to the effect that there is great rejoicing there.

VETERANS IN NEW ORLEANS Annual Reunioo Will

New Orleans. April 24.--New Orleans tonight is in gala attire. Her buildings are draped with bright colors, her streets ablaze with bright bunting and fluttering from end to end with flags, in honor of the annual reunion of the Confederate Veterans Association which will commence tomorrow morn- ing. Every indication Is for one of the most successful meetings in the history of the association. About thirty spe- ctal trains arrived last night and this morning and it is believed that when the time set fer the opening of the reunion has arrived, fully fifty trains additional win have entered tho city. This is In addition to the regular ser vice which has almost trebled in vol ume during the last two days, nearly all trains being made up in from two to four sections.
 The, United States government, too, Is partaker of the festivities, the crusier Columbia having been sent by the navy department especially to take part in the reunion as the direct rep resentative of the nation. The good people of New Orleans ffatter them- selves hugely on the appearance of the Columbia. They claim it is the first time that a. real ship of war has been sent to participate in Confederate re- union.
 It is admitted that several years ago. the Scorpion was sent to Memphis when the reunion was held in that city. but then, 1t is claimed. by the Crescent City. the Scorpion is not much of a ship and 1t Is far cry from such a splendid four funnelled affair as the Columbia down to a boat which has only one smokestack and is not much large rthan pleasure yacht, at best. and so New Orleans claims the only original ship of war present at & re- union of Confederate Veterans.
