What Champ Clark Says About Po-

A statement made at Pittsburs,

raignes Republicans and newspapers
of the country who are. alleged to
be predicting split in the Democrat
ic party. In part the statement fol-
lows:
The strangest political phenome-
non Of our times is the persistence
with which Republican newspapers
try to create the impression that
there is, or is about to be, a great
split among Democrats. They work
at the game as industriously as any
rattlepate ever worked to discover
perpetual motion.
"Al this hullabaloo about Demo
cratic splits is to hide the wide and.
irreconcilable splits among Republi-
cans. Democrats are united for vic
tory in 1912 and afterwards for many
years to come"

Gov. Foss Says Failure OF the Senate

A realignment Of political parties

declared, would come as result of

this opportunity to carry out the
principles Of it's party platform, the
request of it's President and wishes

and its opposition to other progress
sive measures of legislation but en-
phasize the necessity of securing
legislation that will make the Sena-
tors more responsible to public SELL

rect vote OF the people. The, Repub-
lican leaders by thefrE action have
sounded their own death knell. ..r
at means, in my judgment, re-
alignment of parties. This Is in fact
already going on. 1t IS taking place
now. The only thing that the pro-
gressive wing of the Republican par
ty can do is to join hands with the
progressive wing of the Democratic
party and secure legislation that will

and not of special privilege"
The Governor declared that the
United States" has much to gain and
nothing to lose" from reciprocity
with Canada. Urging the necessity
of getting ready for the result of re-
ciprocity, the Governor advocated the
enlargement of transportation facili-
ties in Massachusetts and particu-
larly the development of inland wat
erways. Referring tothe proposal
to dredge the Connecticut river, so
as to extend navigation from Hart
ford to Holyoke, Cow, Foss said:

REFUSES TO OBEY BLEAsE.
Magistrate Kirby Declines 10; Give Gp!:
His Office. +


MAGISTRATE A. H. Kirby, Of Spar
tanburg, has received letter from
Gov. Blease ordering him to vacate
his office as magistrate and turn over
his records to Malcomb Bowden, the
governors appointee. Maj. Kirby
has said that he will do nothing OF
the kind.
Though the major is SO years old,
he says he is not ready to retire at
this time and holds that the governor
has no right to remove him from Of
flee. His attorneys advise him that
he can hold over, since Mr.. Bowden,
whom the governor appointed to sue
ceed him, has not had the indorse-
ment of the county delegation nor
been recommended by the senate.
Both Maj. Kirby and Bowden are
transacting business. What the de-
velopments will be is the question in
which the city is much interested.

THERE MUST BE A CHANGE.
Republican Party Must Progress or
It WIN Die lsl.4..s.2,5,sS- :,

,> Clifford Pinchot, speaking al Ak
ron at the banquet of the progressive
Republicans of Ohio, said the Amer
lean people had devoted the last
third of the nineteenth century ''to
the great task of material develop
ment," He continued:
when the great cUmbfnati7ns Of
capital found that monopolistic con-
troll of the natural sources of wealth
could be secured more easily through
politics than in any other way. they
went into politics. Using corrupt
mmercial methods with the tire
less efficiency they had learned in
their legitimate operations, they set
out to get political power, and they
succeeded. Political power opened
an easy way to use money to get
more money, and they clung to it
till they wore their welcome out. The
Payne-Aldrich tariff was the last
straw.
whatever is right and vital in
the Republican party today is pro-
gressive. Whatever is unprogressive
lis dying or dead. The Republican
party cannot live half dead and half
alive"
After praising progressive legisla-
ton by State legislature, which he
said was not reactionary, Mr.. Pin
chot said, "In the field of national
politics the situation is less clear. ;"
He said the Republican candidate
for President in 1912 must be pro-
gressive and have certain qualities,
for the party could not risk its
chance of victory on the hope of
Democratic blunderS.

More gruesome stories Of the hor-

One traveller reported passing 13
dead bodies in 13 minutes. Others
tell of the natives eating cakes made
of leaves and stems mixed with mil

An American Presbyterian mis-
sionary declared that in the whole
afflicted region there were 100000
starving people. In one village Of
loo families one-third were dead Of
hunger and pestilence. Snow was
falling and many were without prop

The missionaries have attacked the
work of relief with the greatest sys-

the province of Puchow, for instance,
were divided into four classes and
enumerated with this result:

TURNS BAD One LOOSE
NOTORIOUS ROBBER is PAR.
DoNED BY GOV. BLEASE.
No Cine Knew He Was Turned Loose
Until He Turned Up in Charles

A dispatch from Charleston to The
State says Rudolph Rabens, who has
several aliases, IS back in that city,
having been pardoned by Gov. Blease
after a service of about two-thirds of
his sentence In the penitentiary, hay
ing been convicted at Walhalla for
completely in the blowing and rob
berry of the safe Of the Newry mills
in Oconee county several years ago.
Through his attorneys, Rabens
made hard fight to keep out of the
penitentiary but it was futile con-
test and he was placed behind the
bars. The pardon of the governor
enables iRabens to return TO Charles
ton much sooner than lhe had hoped
to do.
Rabens was charged with being
the fence" for the gangs of yegg-
men who operated in South Carolina
some years ago, blowing safes IN
postofices and cotton mills. In sew
eral instances better results were got
ten with the prosecution of the yegg-
men in the State than the federal
courts and the United States authori-
ties gave way to the State in the trial
of Rabens and his pals on the charge
OF robbing the Newry cotton mills.
It was not known in Charleston
that any steps were under way for
the pardon of Rabens and his return
to Charleston without any notice of
his case was a surprise. His former
friends and companions could scarce
| !y believe that it was Rsbens when
| he showed himself a few days ago for
the first time about his establish
ment on upper King street. !.
The State says no announcement
as to the pardon of Rabens was made
by Gov. Blease. Gov. Ansel refused
pardon, to Rabens, and 1t was
thought that such notorious pris-
oner as be would surely have to serve
out his term, but it seems he found
favor with the Governor, anal he
turned him loose, without letting
any one know anything about II be-
fore he. was pardoned. -.

TAKEN TO. COURT
Men Named for Secured an Injunction
Against Those
APPOINTED BY BlEASE

Supporters of the Beaufort Delega-
tion Nominees for Commissioners,
Who Were Ignored by Gov. Blease,
and Others Given the Places,
Brought the Action in the Court.
Judge Gary Thursday at Walter
boro issued a temporary Injunction
against the men recently appointed
township commissioners in Beaufort
county by Gov. Blease in opposition
to the recommendations Of the legis-
lative delegation, and they are cited
to show cause why the temporary in
junction should not be made perma-
nent.
Gov. Blease, in appointing the
township commissioners. entirely ig-
nored the recommendations of lhe'
legislative delegations in six Of tne'
seven townships in spite Of the pro-
vision of the code that he shall ap".
point them upon the recommendation
of the delegation.
The appointments were made, 1t is
understood, after conference with
Thomas Talbird, political follower
of the governor, who opposed the
election of the members Of the Beau
fort delegation.
The governors action caused IL
dignation in Beaufort and as it Is be-
lieved that the appointments made
by the governor are illegal it was de-
termined to take the case to the
courts.
It Is especially necessary that there
be no question as 10 the legality or
the township commissioners because
they are to be entrusted with the
spending of 100000 for the er3c-
tion of bridge from Beaufort to the
opposite island. gl&e
Now that the restraining order has
been issued the case will have to be
argued upon question Of making the
order permanent and the decision OF
| this case may be precedent that
will settle the ether disputed ap-
pointmonts in the State.
