future take up leach item Of the charges
against him and make denial and pre-
sent proofs that the charges were false.
The Governors statement Is as follows
"The entire transactions as brought out
in Augusta have been done at this time in
the campaign for the purpose Of injuring
me, thinking as we had passed over half
Of the state that it would be impossible for
meito reach the peopl. again. That whole
thing is tissue Of Misrepresentation
and wiIful lies, which 1 will show the peo-
pie Of the state at the proper time with
the proofs. I have received numbers OF
kilograms, letters and telephone messages
from my friends throughout the state and
from parties who have heretofore never
been my friends in which they denounce
the committee for the action 1t has taken
and assuring me Of their undivided sup
port. am satisfied they have done me
no injury but have materially strengthen
cd me with my friends and all over South
Carolina, who love their state and who
will resent the manner IN which this cow
ardly character thief, debauoheo and pimp
has attempted to injure the chief magis-
trate OF this state with the assistance II
this committee"
Referring to W. j. Burns, the detective
the Governor said: "In.my opinion Burns
proved himself unworthy Of belief and a
cheap hireling, as he has in other OF his
transactions"

OF the IregO County High school and
is well fitted for the duties of this
office. He is a young man and has
never asked for Office at the hands of
the voters, and his father, T. B. Hays,
has been one of the large taxpayers
of the county which fact should be

strong candidate on his ticket.
c. NJ Bell, county treasurer, an

election subject to the Republican

settlers of Franklin township and is
in every way worthy of a second
term. He has discharged his official
duties during his first term faithful
ly and well and has given excellent
satisfaction. Mr.. Bells reputation
for strict honesty and integrity has
won the regard and admiration of all
and are the attributes necessary in
the person seeking official position
Two years ago Mr.. Bell was the
choice of the people for this Office and
by every right he is entitled to a sec
ond term, first, because it is an
hold established custom, and sec
ond, because he has proven a
most satisfactory, safe and obliging
officer. There can be no mistake in
re-electing Mr.. Bell to the office of
county treasurer.

announces herself as candidate for
reelection to the Office of Register of

The Candidates

.. l.. Cook announces his candida
cy for Representative subject to the
Republican primary to be held next
August. Mr.. Cook is one of Trego
county's old timers and is well quail
flied for the duties of this office. His
wide acquaintance throughout the
county enables him to know and I'M
derstand the needs of the people bet
ter than any other man we know.
He is fearless in advocating the prin-
ciples for which he stands, he is well
informed. intelligent and believes in
a square deal for all, and should he
receive the nomination and be elect
ed to this office he will give the ut
mos: satisfaction and discharge his
duties faithfully and well and is in
every way worthy of the hearty sup
port of the Republicans of Trego
county.
In this issue W. B. Kelly announc-
es his candidacy for Register of Deeds
subject to the Republican primary.
Will needs no introduction to the
people of Trego county having been
here so long that he is very widely
known throughout the entire county.
He is imminently fitted for this Of
flee as he is most excellent penman
and all kinds of book work is strictly
in his line. His experience in the
business world and his wide acquaint-
ance with the people make very de
sirable qualities for the person who
occupies this Office. His honesty and
with the public are too well known
to need comment and should the vot-
ers of Trego county conclude to give
this office to W. IS. Kelly they are
most assuredly making no mistake.
William Lorenzo Larrabee here
with announces his candidacy for
nomination to the office of county
clerk subject to the Democratic pri-
mary. Rem as he is best known TO
his friends came to Trego county
from Michigan about ten years ago.
At different times he has assisted in
the duties of the Office of county
clerk and has thus gained some
knowledge and experience in the
work which would enable him to exc
cute the duties of this office accurate
ly and well. Rem is a young man, is
property owner and taxpayer and is
well qualified to discharge the duties
of this office in most acceptable and
satisfactory manner to all. He is
pleasant and obliging and his patron.
would find in him an official in whom
they could place their confidence and
trust and if nominated and elected
he will attend carefully and strictly
to his duties, discharging them with
faithfulness and care that will prove
most satisfactory to all.
Grover l. Hays takes this opportu
nifty of announcing himself candi

A FORECAST.

We have now approached near
enough to the republican national
convention to forecast the action of
that body. Ex-president Roosevelt
will, apparently have a majority of
the northern states, while President
Taft seems likely to have majority
of the convention-including the
southern delegates, who represent
merely patronage and Doodle. Mr..
Roosevelt has been careful to ar
range for contesting delegates from
the south-this was the first indica-
ton of his intention to bolt. With a
majority of the northern delegates
he is in a position to have conven-
ton of his own in case his contesting
delegates are refused admission.
The conclusion, therefore, is that
Mr.. Roosevelt will be the nominee of
the regular convention or the nomi-
nee of a boiling convention. Get
ready for his candidacy-he is quite
sure to run.
Can Roosevelt be defeated? Yes,
by any good progressive. A progress
sive will hold the democratic vote
and the republicans who oppose a
third term will do the rest. Mr..
ing progressive candidates. either
one of them can defeat Roosevelt
one of the mean defeat Roosevelt.
The country will never have a presi-
dent for a third term.-The Com
mOner
The Leon reporter. (Leon, Iowa) 1887-1930, 1912-06-06
la TOILETTE, THE LOGICAL
CANDIDATE.

The Sioux City Journal points out
that:
Candidate Taft lost his home state,
Ohio.
Candidate Roosevelt lost his home
state, New York.
/ Candidate Cummins lost his home
state, Iowa.
Candidate La Toilette carried his
home state, Wisconsin.
The Journal therefore concludes:
eff the home state argument is to be
conclusive, the moral is that Senator
LaFollette, the only candidate who
had strength enough to carry the
state where he naturally should COM
mand the most enthusiastic and loyal
support, is the logical nominee of the
Chicago convention.
But the nomination of Mr.. La Fol-
lette could be urged on a much
broader ground than that suggested
by the Sioux City Journal. Mr.. La
Toilette is a real progressive. His
heart as we'll as his tongue is in the
/ work. He may be depended upon to
protect the public interests. None
of the factions among the special
interests are supporting La Toilette.
If the republican party means to
be progressive let it nominate pro-
gressive in whom men of all parties
have faith.-The Commoner.
