Committeeman Wilson Quoted. =
Rock Hill special to Charlotte
Chronicle Of Friday: w. B. Wilson
the York member Of the state Demo
cratic executive committee, has re.
turned from Columbia, where he at
tended a meeting Of the state commit
tee. Mr.. Wilson, who Is member OF
the subcommittee appointed to inves-
ularities in the various counties, pre-
diets that 1t will take more than a
month to complete the work of the
committee, unless 1t finds after inves-
tigating in several counties that there
was enough fraud to change the result
Of the election. In this case the COM
mittee will report back to the full COM
mittee, but even then 1t may be in
structed to investigate the remaining
counties. In some Of the counties II
will take two or three days to investi-
gate thoroughly, while in practically
all 1t will take a day. In some cases
the work can be done in Columbia, but
in the majority Of the cases the COM
mittee will doubtless have to visit the
various counties to examine witnesses
etc. Mr.. Wilson states that the work
Of the committee Is not so much to de-
termine the result Of the election as to
ascertain whether there was any fraud
and II so to prosecute those who voted
illegally II evidence can be procured
The committee will prosecute all per-
sons, he says, against whom evidence
tending to show that they voted ille-
gally Is found.

The Democratic party of South Car
olina ought to make it impossible
hereafter for continuance of the prac-
tice that has heretofore prevailed of
allowing the, placing of names on a
club roll by any and everybody. Prior
to the recent primary, names were put
on the club rolls by the wholesale by
both Jones and Blease workers. We do
not charge that there was any fraud
in the so doing, but we do assert with
out fear of contradiction that permis-
sion of such a custom does open wide
the doors for fraud. Why should Bill
Smith or Henry Brown or anybody
else be allowed to bring in a list of
ten, twenty or a hundred names and
have them put on the club roll? Is it
not plain that allowing Bill Smith or
Henry Brown or anybody else such
privilege is giving them full opportu-
nifty to pad the rolls? No mans name
ought to be on the rolls unless he makes
application in person or in writing to
the secretary for enrolment. Then IL

freely predicted, we will risk our repu-
tation as a prophet on this prediction,
and we ask the reader to ponder we'll
our words.
In case the race for governor goes
to the general election, then Governor
Blease will run as the regular nominee
Of the Democratic party, and all citi-
zens of the United States who are citi-
Zens Of the state will be allowed to
vote, and our election laws will be
tested before the United States su-
preme court. And, further, that when
ever white men contending for the
mastery in any southern state contest
those laws, they will be declared un-
constitutional by that tribunal.
According to our reading of the
signs of the times we find the above to
be the rocks ahead, and we say this
our people to lay aside prejudice and
unworthy ambition, ere they drift into
the whirlpool Of factional hatred, and
are caught in the vortex Of political
suicide. On every hand, men, South
Carolinians, are saying, Cole Blease
was elected by the people, and II this
committee by chicanery and trickery
forces the matter to the general elec-
tion then I'll be damned II I'll vote for
the presidential. electors put out by
themi"
That may not mean anything to the
unthinking, but in our judgment it
means to Theodore Roosevelt, with am
Pile funds to wage an active campaign,
the opportunity Of a lifetime, and a
very grave danger to white supremacy
and our Anglo-Saxon civilization, for
once really split, the breach can never
be healed.
Senator Tillman gave good advice
when he said go slow!" and this
committee should heed his wise admo-
milton.
Most people, Jones men, included
very largely, think that this protest
comes with Ill grace from Judge Jones,
who failed Of election, with unlimited
capital to back him, nearly all the pa
pers and corporate interests behind
him, the greater portion Of the women
and preachers Of the towns praying for
him, and the election machinery in the
hands of his friends. and are resentful
of his attitude now.
We echo the words Of Tillman, and
again repeat Go SLOW"

Governor Wilson does not try to pooh
pooh at the nomination Of Oscar Straus
by the Bull Moosers for governor OF
New York. Governor Wilson is not
that kind of a man. He sees that the
nomination of Straus means that the
Roosevelt party is going to make a
serious effort to carry the Empire
state and that the Progressive Demo-
Gratis must get down to their best to
make the right kind of a showing. The
Democratic presidential nominee has
said as much.

The New York Democrats will hold
their state convention at Syracuse on
October 1, and there is much interest
as to the probable success Of the Tam
many organization in debating the
nomination. There is pretty general
fear that the New York Democrats are
not in as good shape as could be de-
sired. Efforts have been made to get
Governor Wilson to side with contend
ing factions but he consistently de-
clines to do so, insisting that he Is
hi nds off.

he falsely enrolls himself in a club to
which he is not entitled to member
ship he can be punished. AS 1t Is now
there is no way Of fixing responsibility,
and there Is every invitation for un-
scrnpulous political workers Of any
faction to pad the rolls. And pad
ded roll Is but q first step toward a
stuffed ballot box -Greenvine Pied
mont.
All of which is correct and'to the
point; but since that has been the rule
and the absolutely unrestricted prac-
tice for the past twenty years. how Is
the blame to be fastened on anybody
at this day, and why should there be
any kicking at the result Of an elec-
ton held in accordance with rules and
practices that were equally well un'
derstood by both sides?

FIGHT TO BITTER END.
Associated Press.

Associated Press.
Chicago, June 13.-Many Of the
delegates to the republican national
convention talked today about the
advisability of naming dark horse
for the presidency in the hope OF
bringing about party harmony and
success.
The leaders apparently feel that
the lines of battle have been so
sharply drawn and that such high
feeling has been aroused that the
fight will have to be fought to I'm
ish.
The Taft supporters were more
confident than ever after yesterdays
victories in the contests, and the
Roosevelt managers are declaring
still that their candidate will have
the necessary $40 votes to win on
the first ballot.
The followers of Cummins and La
Toilette are saying that there will be
no choice on the first ballot.
There is less talk today of oppo-
sition to Roots selection as tempor-
ary chairman. The Roosevelt men
do not agree upon a candidate for
this honor, but declare that they will
have one.
Several reasons have been assigned
for the postponement of the Roose-
welt mass meeting until Monday
evening One is that Roosevelt may
decide to come to Chicago at the last
minute and be the principal speaker.
Another is that it was deemed ad-
visable to delay the meeting until
after the national committee had I'm
ished the contests.
Charges of attempted bribery in
the fight for delegates were made to-
day by Senator Dixon, the campaign
manager for Roosevelt He charged
that member of the republican ma
tional committee had been offered
United States marshalship If he
would vote for Taft in the contests.

AS a result of this act he was
placed under arrest by Deputy United
States Marshal Jeffries from Denver
this afternoon, and will be taken to
Denver tonight to answer the charge
in the United States district court.
Simmons claims that he was en-
powered by Reynolds to get his mail,
and that, after he had signed the
money-order, notified him by letter,
asking him what he wanted done
with it. However, Reynolds took the
matter up with the postoffice depart
ment. and Simmons is today under
arrest.
81 expect this matter to be cleared
up, as ! am entirely innocent" said
Simmons this afternoon.
A sentence in the United States
penitentiary is the penalty: but Sim
mons expects to be released. The
hearing will be held in a few days
in Denver.
Simmons is brother of C. E. Sim
mons of 426 Ouray avenue, one of
the most popular and trusted con-
ductors on the Denver & Rio Grande

GOV. HADLEY FIGHTS FOR SEAT
Associated Press.

Associated Press.
Chicago, June 13.-The four
Roosevelt delegates at large from the
state of Missouri were seated today
by the national republican commit
tee by unanimous vote. The mo-
tion to seat the Roosevelt delegates
was made by Senator Penrose, one OF
the Taft leaders.
Governor Hadley of Missouri, one
of the Roosevelt delegates at large
and the man whom Roosevelt wants
to be temporary chairman of the ma
tonal convention, led the fight be-
fore the committee for the seating of
the Roosevelt delegates.
The national committee today
seated IL Taft delegates from Mis-
sissippi, having already seated the
delegates at large from Mississippi
for Taft yesterday.
One Mississippian-P. w. Howard
of the eighth distriet--was elected,
he said by the regular district con-
vention and instructed for Taft" and
was then chosen down stairs" by
the Roosevelt faction. Having been
elected by both sides, he declined Ito
throw stones at either" Howard's
attorney said that he would support
Roosevelt.
The contest in the second Missis-
sippi district was first called when
the committee convened this morn
ing. The attorneys for both sides
agreed to consolidate the second,
fourth, sixth and seventh district
cases, and so the argument on these
cases was collective.
The argument hinged upon the
question whether the conventions in
these several districts had been reg
ularly called, and whether the voters
had been kept away from the polls
by intimidation.
1t was claimed that negroes had
been excluded from participation in
the voting in some instances.
When a viva voce vote on the fifth
district was taken the Taft delegates
were seated. A similar vote recog-
nized the Taft delegates from the
eighth district and the other dis
tricts.
With the Mississippi cases dis
posed of, the Missouri contests were
next in order, and Governor Hadley
of that state, who was the leader of
the contested delegation and who for
several days had been sitting in the
committee on a proxy, prepared to
defend himself and his delegation
against the claims of the Taft men.
The principal fight in Missouri
centered over the delegates at large.
The Missouri contests were filed
by the Taft forces and involved the
four delegates at large and two dele
gates each from the first, third, fifth,
seventh and fourteenth districts.
When these cases were taken up
Grant Gillespie, the attorney for the
Taft delegates, took up the history
of the Missouri state convention at

having murdered the Moore family,

The bloodhounds which have been

to pieces an entire family.
The sheriff's Office is wholly with
out clew, and the special sleuths
who have been assigned to the case
have been able to offer no evidence
as yet.

er, who has studied the case, express

and the name of the man who re-
ceiyed the money.
1t is reported that the Taft mana
gers have under consideration res
olution for the convention requiring
all delegates to vote according to
the instructions given by their states
until released by the candidate.
After making a canvass of the sit
