Asking whether John c. Calhoun would
DO welcome to-day, The Columbia State"
answers the question by implication in the
negative. We too, doubt very much
whether a man OF CalhOun's total lack of
any gift for personal popularity with the
multitude would go into present-day poll
tics in the South at au.-Charlotte OBJ
server.
Let US hope. either that The State
and 1.-The Observer are Unduly pessi-
mistic or that the conditions on which
they base their judgment are merely
temporary. Statesmen as great as Cal
hOun are valued by a state or by the
nation for the services which they can
perform. not for any small arts in the
way of self-advertising and personal
ingratiatiOn.

POSS RUNS BEHIND
 HIS OPPONENT

Chicago, September 16.-G a. m.)-At this hour the indications are that Con- gIessman George k. Toss, after many years in Congress, during which he has become a strong member of the repub- lican organization, may be defeated by George P. Englehard, progressive. Re turns from 104 precincts out of 147 in the Tenth district give Englehard 3192 against 27S6 for Foss.
 James R. Mann, an outspoken Cannon man, met stout resistance from his pro- gressive opponent in the Second district Returns were meager, but the first few precincts showed close race.
 The Lormer democrats, who made his election to the Senate possible, were in nearly every instance renominated.
 The "standpatters' and 'progressives split even in the Eleventh and Thirteenth districts. John c. Mckenzie. a progress sive, was nominated in the Thirteenth by the republicans, while in the Eleventh George w. Conn.,, Jr., who opposed a progressive, was nominated.
 Speaker Cannon carried every county in his district Two years ago the speaker was unopposed, so comparison of his plurality today with the figures at the previous election is valueless.

BANKERS CANNOT
 AGREE TO PLAN

New York, September 15.-American bankers decided here today that they cannot assent to the plan for guarantee ing bills of lading proposed by British bankers. Instead, they asserted their independence, denounced the British pro- possl as unsound finance. and insisted or their own plan of validated certifi- cate"
 Yesterday committee of London and continental bankers announced their re- fusal to accept American cotton bills after October 31 without an American bank guarantee" Today a sub-commit- tee of the American Bankers association sent the following cable:
 we deeply regret your decision and cannot feel but that it was reached through misapprehension. We have ac- complished much in securing the valida- tion certificate, thus placing the business on safe basis. Further consideration of bankers guarantee is absolutely out of the question. being incompatible with correct banking principles. This is final Situation could not be changed by our committee going to London. but of course. we would welcome your deputa- tion in New York, where all data and information are obtainable and where railway and cotton people also could be heard. We are confident this would lead to a better understanding with mutually satisfactory results"

BIG CELEBRATION
 IN MEXICO CITY

Mexico City, September 15.-"viva Mex ica, viva La Independencia," and the his toric cry of "Grito'' that Miguel Hidalgo first uttered 100 years ago, was repeated at II o'clock tonight by President Diaz as he rang the liberty bell of Mexico. standing on a balcony of the national palace. The cry was taken up by an im- mense crowd that packed the plaza in front of the palace, and extended in the streets in all directions for several blocks The event was witnessed by people representing 50 nations
 gorgeous display of fireworks made the scene one of the most spectacular features of the centennial of independ- ance celebration The Plaza was a blaze of lights. One hundred and fifty thou sand electric bulbs, red, white and green. were used in three elaborate decorative schemes on the exterior of the national palace, city hall and cathedral, which stand on three sides of the square On the other side large department store buildings were decorated in the same manner.

SPEAKER CANNON
 IS RENOM|NATED "Uncle Joe" Easily Defeats His Political Opponent TOSS MAY BE BEATEN Congressman BOuteIl Loses Race for Renomination, His Defeat Being Due To Progressive Ideas of
 His Opponent
TOSS MAY BE BEATEN

Chicago, September 15.-The renomina-
 tion of Speaker J. G. Cannon and the neck-and-neek race being given Con-
 gressman George E. Foss by his progress
 sive opponent. as indicated in early re-
 turns, were features of todays primaries in Illinois.
 The vote cast in the 10 congressional districts In Cook county (Chicago) was
 remarkably light, not more than a quar-
 ter of the vote on the registration books
 being cast. The downstate vote was much heavier.
 Early returns indicated the renomina-
 ton of Lee O'Neil Browne to the state
 house of representatives. and also that
 of E. G. Shurtleff republican, and speak
 CT of the house, against whom deter
 mined factional fight has been waged.
 Browne was recently acquitted of a
 charge of having bribed state represen- tative to vote for William Lorimer for
 United States senator.
 Early returns also indicated the norni-
 nation of Ira G. Copley by the republic
 ans from the Eleventh congressional dis- trict over George w. Conn, Jr. This,
 however, is not conceded by friends of
 Conn, who claim the district by about 300
 as against Copley's claim of 100 plurality. The fight in this district has been one of the fiercest in the state. Conn Is said to have been backed by the so-called stand-pat element, while his opponent de- clared himself an out and out progress sive.
 The defeat of H. S. Boutell, after many years In Congress, by F. H. Gansbergen, who announced himself as a progressive, caused little surprise locally. The reg ular republication organization refused to indorse Boutell on the ground that his record as a standpatter" would insure democratic success if he were nominated Gansbergen ran about 2000 ahead of him. As indicating the sentiment of the dis trict, Arthur West, also a progressive, but running almost alone boiled more than 1000 votes, which go to swell the progressive list
 The closeness of the fight in the
 Tenth district came as a surprise to
 most students of the campaign. While
 MT. Foss, who is chairman of the com
 mittee on naval affairs, has always
 voted with the regulars at Washing ton he stated in his campaign speech es that some months ago he had informed
 MT. Cannon that he felt free to re-
 serve his opinion as to how he shall vote in the next speakership contest. G.. P Englehard campaigned on an
 unmistakable progressive platform and attacked the present congressman on his record on the tariff and as a sup
 porter of Cannon. Forty-th three pre- cincts out of 147 In the district gave
 Englehart 1092 votes against 1O41 for MT. FOSS.

HASKELL JUMPS
 ON ROOSEVELT

Lawton, Okla, September 15.-1n an ad- dress at the Southwestern State fair here this afternoon, Governor Haskell deliv- cred what he termend an Analysis of Colonel Roosevelt
 He paid particular attention to Musko- gee town lot cases and his own removal from the democratic national committee both of which, he said, originated in po- litical moves on the part of Roosevelt for persecution only.
 Commenting on principles announced by MT. Roosevelt in recent speeches, the governor endeavored to show that the former president is insincere and said he has suffered an entire change of thought since his presidential term expired.
 Of Roosevelts comment on the United States supreme court, he said:
 "Is 1t building for the welfare of oui country when a leader of public thought breeds lack of respect or encourages con tempt for our great institutions?"
 He said Roosevelt had stopped prosecu- tions before the interstate commerce commission to protect Paul Morton.

CALEB POWERS IS NAMED FOR
 CONGRESS IN HOT PRIMARY

to give him the nomination as a "vindi- cation of his alleged complicity in the assassination of democratic Gov. William Goebel in 1900.
 Powers, who was secretary of state at the time of the assassination, was con fined in jail during eight years, his first three trials resulting in convictions. and the fourth in disagreement: Last year Governor Wilson swept the court rec ords clear of all of the cases remaining untried in connection with the Gobel murder by granting pardons to Powers and several others.
 The campaign between Powers and Ed wards has been spectacular one and evoked marked bitterness. The district has normal republican majority of upward of z0,0oo.

Louisville, September 15.-Wandering over the world in search of his two daughters, who disappeared, he says, on the night of the great Galveston flood, Frank Schrum, who is 96 years old, has arrived In Louisville.
 My wife was lost In that great dis aster," said the old man. My two daughters disappeared also and from that day until this I have heard noth- ing from them directly. From some of my old friends in Galveston I heard soon after the flood that they had been seen In California.
