ASK ROOSEVELT TO COME
Chamber of Commerce De-
CtineS to Join in Invitation of
National Corn Show
CBY sTAFF CORRESPONDENTS

COLUMBIA, S. c., Sept. 2S-The Column
bia chamber of commerce has declined
to join the National Corn exposition Of
ficials in an invitation to Col. Theodore
Roosevelt to attend the national corn
show in January and make an address.
The refusal of chamber of commerce
was on the ground that South Carolina
was supporting Woodrow Wilson for
president, and an invitation to Roose-
welt at this time might be considered
as lending too much aid to the Bull
Moose movement.
The National Corn exposition officials
were contemplating extending an invi-
tation to Colonel Roosevelt through a
personal friend of his to attend the corn
exposition and make an address. Def
mite action on this subject had not been
determined on, but was practically set
tied and the chamber of commerce was
asked to join in the invitation. With
visions of the Bull Moose" which has
been threatened to invade this state they
promptly declined at this time to invite
Colonel Roosevelt because they said in
substance South Carolina is for Wood
row Wilson, does not want to do any
thing which would seem to aid and abet
his rival, Colonel Roosevelt
1t is said that the corn exposition off
cials also consider inviting Gov. Wood
row Wilson and President Taft, but they
decline to make any statement for pub
LEGATION on any of the matters.
Asked for a statement about the cham
Der of commerce refusing to join in the
invitation to Roosevelt, the corn EXPOSE
ton officials said they had nothing to
say.
Mayor Gibbes, of Columbia, also declin-
ed to join in the invitation to Roosevelt
in these words: IT, as mayor of the
city of Columbia, individually refuse to
sanction the invitation to Theodore
Roosevelt, because 1 do not believe in
giving him political boost. when / am
OF the opinion that either Wilson or Taft
is preferable to him for president But
If a majority of council vote for me to
write a letter sanctioning the invitation
will do so, but it will be over my most
vehement protest"
