TAFT BLlMES PROGRESSWES
FOR CUTTING 'eEsT FEATURES
FROM ARBITRATION TREATY.
Mckinley Committee Analyses the
Vote in States Where Gov
ernors Favor Roosevelt.

Washington, March 1.-THE resent
ment that is shown in the ranks of
the supporters of President Taft over
the insurgcnt coalition with the Demo-
Gratis which brought. about the defeat
of the peace treaties was manifested
in q statement given out by the Taft
managers. They do not hesitate to
charge that Senator Dixon, manager
of the Roosevelt forces. had much to
do with bringing about the weakening
OF the treaties and putting the instru-
ments through in such form as to make
what promised to be q great forward
move for universal peace result in al.
most nothing calculated to promote
that end. The Taft Headquarters
statement says:
The cry for the denomination of
Theodore Roosevelt for a third term
comes primarily from a small minority
of the Republican party. combined
with an immense Democratic demand
for his denomination, on the theory
that Mr.. Roosevelt is the easiest Re-
publican candidate for president TO de.
feat.
1T also affords positive proof of
what has been known to political STU
dents for many days, that the so-called
newspaper polls favoring Mr.. Roose-
welt are polls padded by Democrats
tr terested in assisting the Republican
party to nominate its weakest candl-
date at the Chicago convention in
June"
Another Taft headquarters state.
ment discusses the Taft vote in the
several states where governors have
declared for Colonel Roosevelt, 1t
says: t.
Taft Vote by States.
"In the first place one of these gov
ernors, Carey of Wyoming, was elected
as u Democrat. The seven states are
Kansas, Michigan, Missouri, New
Hampshire, Nebraska. West Virginia
and Wyoming. The total Republican
vote cast tor president in 1908
throughout the country was 1878, 9OS.
LII the election of 1908 these v
states polled a Republican vote of
1918. $50. Therefore, assuming that
these seven governors do represent all
the Republicans who voted in their
own states in 1903 (Which they do not
by any means) they would represent
1887 per e of the Republican vote
OF the country. Therefore. less thar,
Is per cent of the Republican vo
OF the various states is represente
in the request to Colonel Roosevelt,
that he be a candidate. In view of re.
cent DEVELOPMENTS in several OF these
states it is perfectly obvious thai not
even SO per cent ct the Republican
votes cast in these states sustains he
attitude Of the governors of these
states, so that, being very liberal, it is
quite accurate to state that less than
seven per cent of the total Republican
vote asst in 1908 sustains the attitude
Of the seven governors
Reviewing in detail the votes cast
for the different governors, compared
with the Taft vote in 1908. 1t is saia
that the seven governors had a
plurality of 154.799, while President
Taft had q plurality Of ,2y9, $50, giving
President Taft l45,0s1 more votes than
the entire w governors received.
The governors polled 5l.9O per cent OF
the total vote cast and President Taft
1888 per e n of the total vote cast.

For tho Grand Jury Charged With
Accepting a Bride Of $5oo.-AIl Con-
fessed But ~Dougherty.

man Harry Dougherty, arrested on a
charge Of accepting a bride Of $500
in return for his vote in councils for
the passage of an ordinance providing
for a concrete boardwalk along the
beach front designed to cost a million
dollars or more, was given a hearing.
Through his lawyer he pleaded not
guilty and was held in $4,000 bail for
the grand jury. A great crowd gather
ed in anticipation of hearing sensa-
tional testimony but little that was
new developed.
The first witness was William F.
Wahl, a citizen who had made the
complaint against Oougherty. He
sail he had secured the information
on which he based his complaint from
William J. Burns, the detective.
Mr.. Burns on the stand related how
he had. been summoned here to in
vestigate alleged corrupt acts and dis
honesty in civic matters. He began
his investigation, he said, in April,
1911, and continued until August,
when he evolved a flake" boardwalk
scheme to catch certain councilmen
and city officials. He summoned one
Of his operatives here and had him
passed as Mr.. Harris, "a New York
contractor anxious to get a contract
to build a new boardwalk of concrete"
Harris" became familiar with coun'
cilmen, offered several Of them $4,000
each to pass the ordinance, providing
for the boardwalk and paid $500 on
account. Later. Burns said, these
councilmen were informed Of the traI
into which they had fallen. All but
one of them, he said, confessed and
returned the bride money. Dougherty
refused to give back the money or tc
confess and he was arrested.

of the Trustees.

the South Carolina Lutheran Synod
in extra session at Summerland &C

Of the Summerland property and 40
acres of land for the establishment of
a Lutheran college for women, thus
settling the proposition which has
been the agitation Of Lutherans
throughout the state for the past year.
The proposition was strongly op.
posed by DR.. George B. Cromer of
Newberry, DR.. C. Armand Miller of
Charleston, the Rev. w. H. Hitler
and the Rev. C. A. Freed, and DR..
Kibler of Columbia These gentlemen
based their objections IN the ground
that the synod was not ready at this
time to decide the matter.
The Rev. Mr.. Hitler based his argu.
ments on the ground that Summer.
land was not the proper and logical
location.
The school is not to be, under
the direction Of the synod, that is,
the synod is not to be financially re-
sponsible for the school.
The following trustees were elect.
ed: The Rev. S. P. koon of Prosper
ity, the Rev. C. P. Boozer of Saluda,
the Rev. S. C Ballentine Of Leesville.
