was governed by patent law and con-
squently valid. Today he approved
tnat decision.
One of the express reasons given
by Chief Justice White for his dis
senting was to make 1t clear that il
evils arise from the decision their
continuation will not be caused by
the Interpretation given to the statute,
but will result from the inaction OF
the legislative department in falling
to amend the statute so as to avoid
such evils.
The amendment would be some re-
Htriction on the use of a patent.
Chief Justice White first contended
that the license restriction" was a
collateral contract relation and criti-
cised the Court for "unwarrantedly
extending" the Federal judicial pow
er over them.
"The ruling now made" said he,
"in effect. is that the patentee has
the power. by contract, to extend his
patent rights so as to bring within
the claims Of his patent things which
are not embraced therein, thus vir-
tually legislating. by causing the pa
tent laws to cover subjects to which,
without ehe exercise Of the right of
contract. they could not reach; the
result being not only to multiply mo-
nopolies at the will Of an interested
party, but also to destroy the juris-
diction OF State Courts.

TAFT GETS OHIO'S "BIG SIX"
Roosevelt Forces Beaten in State Con-
ventiOn-Report Endorsing Col.
Onel Voted Down

Columbus, Ohio, June 4.-Ohio's Re-
publican State convention awarded
President Taft the six delegates at
large to the national convention by a
vote of $50 1-2 to 362 ID. The State
ticket will be chosen at the adjourned
session, which was called for July 2.
President Taft's strength in the
convention was plainly evident as soon
as the meeting had been called to or
der. In the first test of strength, a
roll call on the minority report en-
dorsing Col Roosevelt, the delegates
voted 393 1-2 for Taft and 359 1-2 for
Roosevelt.
"The action of today's convention
clearly shows that the Republicans
still have confidence in President Taft
and the result of the State convention
will go far in determining the vote at
the Chicago convention" said L. C.
Laylin, Taft's Ohio campaign manager.
Senator Burton, chairman of the con-
vention, refused to make any state
ment.

vention had been permitted to vote
for themselves, it would have been i'm

CONNOR WILL ENTER RACE.
Orangeburg Man to Run for Governor
ssIf Health Permits"

Orangeburg, June 4.-Today's issue
of the Orangeburg Sun carries the
following concerning the candidacy
for governor of the Hon. L. S. Connor,
former State senator from this coun-
ty:
Much interest has been manifested
all over the State in the candidacy of
the Hon. L. S. Connor for governor,
and when the editor of the Sun was in
Columbia in attendance upon the State
convention he was asked by num-
ber of persons, On both Jones side and
the Blease side, as to whether Mr.. Con-
nor really intended to run.
When the announcement of his can
didacy was first made, Mr.. Connor
qualified his tatement by saying that
he would run eff his health would
permit"
Yesterday Mr. Connor was in Or
angeburg and the editor of the Sun
asked him if he really intended to be-
come a candidate for governor, and
his reply was: Il most certainly will
be candidate if my health does not
fail me before the campaign opens" "
Though Mr.. Connor said he did not
feel entirely we'll, he looked very
much to us like hale and hearty man.
He said further: 81 expect to be at
the first State campaign meeting, and
will tell the people some things that
neither of the two present candidates
have yet touched On. What these mat
ters are I will not discuss now, but
when I go on the stump I will give
them to the people"
He said that Judge Jones, in giving
up the chief justiceship to go after the
governorship, reminded him of the
dog in Aesop's fable. The dog had a
bone in his mouth, and looking into a
pool of water, saw his own reflection
with the bone. Dropping his bone, he
dived for the reflection in the water.
Jones, he said, had lost the substance
to go after the shadow.
Mr.. Connor intends to make an ag-
gressive campaign and from his talk
yesterday it will be realized after the
first campaign meeting that he is in
the race to stay and will make a fight
to win. He is one of the largest and
most progressive farmers in this coun-
ty, and has always been prominent in
public affairs, having served in both
branches of the legislature as a rep
resentative of this county. He was
also for several years one of the coun-
ty commissioners. He has always been
| looked upon as man of high ideals
backed by good common sense.

At Mr.. Felder's Office it was report

made many trips east since Governor

TO ARREST FIELDER If
PASSES THROUGH STATE
THROUGH SOUTH CAROLINA NEAR
EST ROUTE TO BALTIMORE.
Governor Blease Says He Will Issue
Instructions to SheriffS to Keep
Lookout for Him.

Columbia, June 4.-Governor B1ease
stated today that he would shortly IN
struct the sheriff of Greenvllle ana
Spartanburg counties to arrest Thom-
as B. Fielder, the Atlanta attorney
who has won such name IN tnls
State and who is charged with con-
spiracy and attempt to bribe an ON
cial of this State, as he passes through
this State on his way from Atlanta to
Baltimore, en- route to the national
Democratic convention. He further
stated that if Fielder should be ar
rested in Baltimore he would issue a
requisition on the governor Of Mary
land for his return to this State. Mr..
Fielder is a delegate at large from
Georgia to the Baltimore convention.
In going from Atlanta to Baltimore
Mr.. Fielder will almost certainly have
to pass through South Carolina. He
will in so doing either use a Southern
train stopping at both Spartanburg
and Greenville, or else he will take
Seaboard Air Line train passing
through Abbeville, Greenwood and
other towns
$500 Reward for Fielder.
There are rewards outstanding for
the arrest of Fielder in this State
amounting to $500 and there are three
warrants for his arrest in this State,
said Governor Blease Tuesday, these
being held by officials of as many
counties. There is one warrant for
his arrest in the hands Of the sheriff
of Lexington county. A warrant for
his arrest in the hands Of a magistrate
of Newberry county and there is also
one in the hands Of magistrate in
Richland county. These warrants
charge Fielder with conspiracy to de-
fraud the State of South Carolina and
with attempting to bribe a State Off
cial. The whole is the outgrowth Of
the affairs of the old State dispensary.
Would Issue Requisition.
Governor Blease further stated that
if some detective in Baltimore should
desire to eet the 5000 reward and
should arrest Fielder he would issue a
requisition On the governor of Mary
land for his return to this State. He
said he wanted to see the charges
against Fielder thrashed out and to
this end he would do all in his power
to have him brought back to South
Carolina and made to face a jury.
