TURN
ROOSEVELT DOWN
ASSTATE CHAIRMAN
Former President is Defeated
by New York Republicans
for Temporary Chairman of
the State Convention by the
Vote of 20 to Is

NEW YORK. Aug. 1s-col Theodore
Roosevelt's name was presented as tenn
porary chairman of the Republican state
convention, at the meeting Of the Re-
publican state committee today. But his
selection for that honor was lost by a
vote OF 20 to Is.
Vice President James s. Sherman was
named as temporary chairman of
the coming state convention by
a unanimous vote following the
defeat OF the motion to make
Colonel Roosevelt the temporary presid-
ing officer of the convention. The state
convention selected Saratoga, September
q, as the place and time for the pres
ent Republican convention.
After the meeting had been called to
order and the time and place of the state
convention chosen, w. j. Barnes, Jr.,- of
Albany, offered a. resolution. presenting
temporary chairman. Lloyd Griscom
moved to substitute Colonel Roosevelt and
moved that the vote be postponed until
later.
after much debate the motion TO post
pone was defeated by a vote of II to g.
The resolution to make Colonel Roosevelt
temporary chairman was then lost by a
vote Of 20 to 15 following which Vice
President Sherman was unanimusly
chosen for temporary presiding oficer of
the convention. Lloyd Griscom and Henry
Mack did not vote. The convention ad-
journed to meet Monday evening, Sep
TENDER 26, at Saratoga.
ROOSEVELT. WOULD PLACE.
Commenting upon the action of the
committee in rejecting name OF former
President Roosevelt, Mr.. Griscom said:
II presented the name OF former Pres
ident Roosevelt after consulting him.
The place Of the temporary chairman
was obviously his, not only by virtue
of his having been president of the Unit
ed States, but by the signal services rem
dered by him to the Republican party in
New York state.
Mr.. Roosevelt was anxious to engage
in the present campaign In this state,
and his name at the head of the con-
vention would have lent extraordinary
prestige 10 the meeting and been of in
calculable value to the party throughout
the state.
THE action foreshadows a great many
primary contests, as 1t Is obvious that
those voting to deny him the office of
temporary chairman will have to account
to the enrolled Republicans of their re-
spective districts for their action.
There was no question Of indorsing
or not indorsing the administration. II
an effort is made to show that the
chance Of Colonel Roosevelt would not
have been, it must Of necessity fail, as
Mr.. Roosevelt's views regarding the con-
duct of public affairs by his successor are
well known" -.

UNUSED FERTILIZER TAGS.
Board Decides That Companies Can
not Return Unused Tags.

Clemson College. July 1T.-At o
meeting OF the fertilizer board mere
this week the question OF the REDEEM
Ing OF tax tags was considered and
the decision was reached that the
fertilizer department would hereaf-
ter not redeem unused tags. Hereto
fore * has been a rule of the board
that fertilizer companies might re.
turn unused tags afte; a certain date
and have the money refunded.
The cause OF the boards action Is
due, first. to the fact that the fertili-
zer companies would return tags af-
ter the expiration OF the time set for
that purpose. and secondly, TO the
fact that many tags returned would
be stamped with the company's name
or otherwise made unstable, and the
fertilizer companies would fail TO see
why money should not be refunded
IN either case.
For the year 1909-10 the gross re-
ceipts from the privilege tax were
s1tf.77o.s2. OF which sum s17,7Ss.S6
was returned to fertilizer companies
for redeemed tags. so that. while II
appears from the State Treasurer's
books that Clemson got s244.77o.s2,
she really got s2as.sso.se. and the
$fI7ss.ss appears on the college
books NJ an expenditure. Hereafter
fertilizer companies VIII not have the
privilege OF returning unused tags
for redemption.

STATE BOARD TO MEET.
Will Consider Important Matters of
Taxation Wednesday.

Columbia, July 1.-THE State
board of equalization will meet on
Wednesday of the present week, when
matters of Importance to the taxpay-
ers of the State will be discussed and
decided upon. This is assessment
year in South Carolina and all real
estate will be reassessed by the State
board. The work of the board wilt
be watched with interest by citizens
of all sections of the State.
During the past week the subject
OF taxation has played a most impor-
tant part in the discussion by the
candidates for Governor. The general
conclusion reached is that equaliza-
tion of the property in the State is
needed.
Comptroller General Jones has all
ways been an advocate of the equali-
zation Of taxes. He appeared before
the Charleston county voters on Sat-
urday night and explained his posi-
tion on the tax question and made
several recommendations.

There has been an even greater in

the figures will show the production
OF four times as much tobacco and
sugar as was produced during the
Spanish regime. Both are industries
controlled largely by American capi-
tal' and considerable money is now

recessit-te the buying OF hedges in

Bearish operations will be based
