The regulars will have a working

leave only seven members for the Roose

The slate of the regulars has not been

people will be allowed only one delegate
at large, and that one in all likelihood
will be Col. f. c. Darlington, chair
man of the Roosevelt forces. The other

President Taft. acting on the sugges-

Mr.. Hamilton's request for the Presi-

last night, the President says:
Your letter forwarding one from j. w.

Mr.. Hanna made this statement to Sc,
at rest rumors that he would step out
as head of the party. and it comes in the
nature of a def to some of the Roosevelt
men who have stated that unless Mr.
Hanna resigned he would be forced out
during the convention. In commenting on
the boasts of the Roosevelt people, Chair
man Hanna said:
The Taft people will have seventy-one
delegates in the convention, and will be In
absolute control of it's organization. and l

by Gov. Goldsborough to retain the chair

Advance Conference Proposed.

The entire situation will be threshed
out at a conference to be held in this
city next Monday night at the Rennert,
when the party leaders will meet for
a conference to outline a plan of ac-
ton for the convention. The Roosevelt
leaders will be invited to attend, and
1T is said that they will then be in
formed as to how many delegates they
will be allowed. The number may be
seven or less than seven, but it is a
certainty that the Roosevelt men will
not control or even have half the dele
gates.
Taft men are anxious to have a quiet
convention Tuesday, and it is in order
that this may be brought about that
the conference has been called. If the

WOMEN GET FIRST VOTE
At PRIMARIES TUESDAY
Those in California Cast Bal
lots for Presidential Can
didate for First Time.

SAN FRANCISCO. May 1l.-For the
first time in the history of California,
women of this state will go to the polls
next Tuesday and cast their ballots for
presidential candidate.
Statewide presidential preference pri-
maries will be held on that date with
three republican and two democratic
tickets in the field. There has been much
interest evinced i'll the affair throughout
the state. principally on account of the
heretofore Untried feminine vote, but
also because of the active campaigns that
each one of the five candidates have
waged.
The women of the state have disproved
the generally accepted theory that suf-
fragettes have no interest in any other
than local politics. One of the first presi-
Dental candidate clubs organized was the
Taft Womans Club. and this organiza-
ton has been active throughout the cam
paign With headquarters in Los Angeles
it has branches in all of the principal
California cities.
Although the democrats have waged
a merry battle, chief interest in the
coming election is centered in the strug-
gle between President Taft and Theodore
Roosevelt on the republican ticket. La

Harmon's Name Not on Ticket.
Champ Clark and Woodrow Wilson are
the only democratic candidates. although
there was talk for a time of placing the
name of Gov. Harmon of Ohio on the
ticket Clark has the backing of the
Hearst newspapers and of William Ran
dolph Hearst personally and is expected
to lead Wilson by large majority. Will
son is supposed to have the support of
college men generally. although a straw
ballot taken at the University of Califor-
mia recently gave Clark only a few less
votes than Wilson.
An interesting sidelight has been
thrown on the republican contest because
of the fact that Charles Mi1in Hammond

managing Taft's campaign

LET'S DOUBLE UP.

The Advertiser has noted one thing
about subscription lists i'm this coun.
ty. Whenever a call is made for mon
ey with which to help out in some
charitable cause, such as the starving
Chinese or the storm sufferers Of
Louisiana, the people of the country
districts have been particularly lib
eral. Laurcns county is always in the
forefront at these times and general
ly the bulk Of the money Is given by
the people of the country. At this
time, however, when the democratic
party Is sorely afflicted with lack Of
funds to fight she moneyed interests
the people Of the country districts of
the county have not responded as have
the town people. Laurens county is
credited with nearly fifty dollars in
The State, most of which was CON
tributed by citizens Of Laurens. The
Advertiser would like to see this sum
largely increased and we believe that
the farmers OF the county are going to
IL
to see to it that the fund is increased.
We are therefore going to ask that the
people Of the country and the people
of the towns make a united effort this
week to pile up Laurens countys
contribution to n sum which we would
be proud Of Send the money to this
office or to The State and 1t will be
gladly received Do not let this be
put off longer, but send in the sub
scription now. Any sum will be ac-
ceptable. South Carolina has been
apportioncd $4,000 as her part Of the
campaign fund. She has not raised
$4,000. The amount must be over
doubled. Laurens county has not
raised $3.50, so for her to get into it's
proper place it must raise over $3.50.
Will 1t be done? Everybody try a
concerted effort and let's do it! Pull!

CLINTON COUNTY?

The public, outside of Clinton, has
not been made aware of any we'll
founded reasons to Justify desire
on the part Of Cliaton to become a
countyseat. Without having heard
any of the reasons put forth by the
citizens of that town (and 1t appears
that they are the principal instiga-
tors) why a county-seat should be
made at Clinton, we would surmise
that the principal motive behind the
movement, a very commendable mo-
tive however, is to advance the growth
and prosperity of Clinton. AS we say,
we haven't heard much discussion
about the matter, pro or con, but we
imagine that when the voters of the
districts in question are put face to
face with the question Of additional
taxes with few advantages to offset
the burden, we hardly think that
they will consent to vote for the new
county. However, we like to see
such evidences Of vigorous progress
siveness in Clinton, though we be-
lieve that this energy could be
spent better in other directions.
