ROOSEVELT ENDORSED VINCENT
AT THE STOCKMEN'S BANQUET

Col. Roosevelt in Denver, Mon

position in the following words:
"Mr. Vincent put my platform
better than l ever put it myself"
said Colonel Roosevelt. at goes
beyond partisan politics and
voices sentiments upon which all
good Americans can stand. You
men here cannot do better for
yourselves than to see that that
platform is carried into effect in
this state. and thereby help to
carry it into the lite of the nation
as whole"
Following is part of Mr.. Vim
cents address:

would follow the example of our
distinguished guest and choose
the stockman of the West. The
stockman pioneered the way.
blazed the trail for our Western
commercial development and by
his work laid for it a stable foun-
dation.
"He did not adopt the get-rich-
quick methods which have
marked the work of some who
followed him. but on the contrary
employed and used the natural re-
sources he found here to build up
his business in a legitimate way.
Not alone for his own enrichment
did he build. but for his commun-
ity as we'll. In his wake have
come. cities. states. the railroads
and the telegraph to further de-
uelop the West.
"He has been the Empire
builder and the Law Giver of the
West. And yet he too has lived
under The good old rule. the
simple plan. that he shall take
who has the power. and he shall
keep who can He has witnessed
its operation. has seen the strong

ruthless reign; he beheld its in

of abuses il bred; and seeing
these things. seeing our rich na-
tural resources being dissipated
by improvident use. and falling
into mercenary hands for pur-
poses of exploitation. he endorsed
and has since Loyalty supported
that policy of conservation inaug-
urated under the presidency of
our guest, and his subordinates,
who are with us tonight.
"Thesc stockmen. Colonel
Roosevelt. are still with you in
this great work of preservation
and progress. They had rather
put their dependence in the wis
dom of governmental regulation
of our natural resources than trust
the public welfare to the benevo-

realize that to permit our natural
resources to fall permanently in

Rather peculiar chain of circum-
stances that placed Ray Bowerman in
the executive chair Of the state OF Ore
gon. His elevation came about in this
way: Governor Chamberlain, a Demo
crat. was elected four years ago. Sub
sequently he was chosen United States
senator and took his seat in January.
1909 The constitution of Oregon pro-
vides, there being no lieutenant gov
ernor, that the secretary Of state shall
become chief executive in the event Of a
vacancy. the next in the line Of success
sion being the president of the senate.
On the retirement of Mr. Chamber
lain Secretary of State Frank w. Ben
son became governor, but few months
ago his health failed, and Mr. Bower
man, who was president of the senate,
became acting governor. Recently he
was Endorsed at a conference of the
Republican party for governor. but his
candidacy is subject to ratification at
the primaries.
Mr. Bowerman began his career as a
farm hand. following that vocation
until he had accumulated enough mon
ey to pay his way through Willamette
university He took up the study OF
law and was admitted to the bar at
the age of twenty. 1t Is possible that
after the next election be will be the
real governor instead OF only acting in
that capacity.

Papers were read by S., S. Lindler,

were both interesting and instructive.
There were also talks by other NOM

These meetings are helpful to the

to become al important factor in the

CIRCULATION 2,327.

The State has seen fit to make an
attack on the Hon. G. G. Feather
stone, candidate for governor, alleg-
Ding that MIR. Featherstone has not
been consistent. In strong editorial
on Saturday last, the Columbia Rec
ord, whose editor happens to be Jas.
A. Hoyt, takes the position that all OF
the candidates for governor have
changed their position on the liquor
question during the last few years,
and asks, why attack one and not the
other? That is our position exactly.
As to Mr.. Featherstone, we fail to see
where he has in the least showed in
consistency. Like the rest OF US, he
has only favored local option as "a
means to an end" of the nefarious
liquor system. There can be no long
or any doubt as to the majority OF
South Carolinians being disguised
with the sale of liquor in any shape
or form. The State was opposed to
the dispensary system until all of the
counties adjoining Richland voted out
liquor. Now we find our esteemed
contemporary and nearest neighbor
championing the sale of liquor with
characteristic vigor. In an effort to
drift the minds of the people from pro-
hibition to local option, The State has
attacked Mr.. Featherstone, q man
whose life has been largely devoted
to the cause of prohibition, and who
has always stood for all that is high
and noble in life. Why not attack the
Others?
The Dispatch does not deny our con-
temporary the right to champion the
cause of any candidate it sees fit, but
I'VE, stand for right against the wrong,
and we firmly believe that The State
lis going out Of its way to defeat Mr..
Featherstone.
