HiIIeS Predicts Taft
Nomination and Victory

WASHINGTON, Feb. prediction
that President Taft would be renominat-
ed and reelected was made by Charles
d. Hilles, secretary to the president, in
the first authorized statement that has
been ISSUED in regard TO the Forthcoming
campaign.
Mr.. Hilles said in part:
president Taft's nomination in June
is as certain as anything can be. am
confident that there will be compare
lively no opposition to him in the ma
tionaI convention and when the nomina-
ton is made the Republicans Of the
country will rally to the party standard
and win a great victory in November.
ct would not make this prediction did
I not feel that my information from ali
parts of the country warrant me in do
ing so.
us is easy to make big claims and to
try 60 deceive people, and I think that
a man who does so without facts and
figures to justify is guilty of decep-
ton.
"A month ago, before ] had gotten
into touch with Republicans in all the
states, I would not have said this much.
In that month I have seen the lines
drawn closer and closer. In the last
week the situation has cleared wonder
fully, with Republicans in all directions
falling into line for the president ana
manifesting q determination to bring
about his nomination.
1T is useless to speak I'm general
terms or to undertake at short notice TO
go into conditions in each state, but de
velopmenIs In three of the big states
within a few days ought to point con-
cIusively TO the present trend"
Mr.. Hfl1es goes on to review condt-
lions in New York. Ohio and Indiana,
claiming that President Taft has receiv-
ed Endorsements in those states, which
indicate they will give their delegations

Annexation Bill Passes
Lower House.

The bill providing for the transfer
and annexation of q portion OF the
Dutch Fork section of Lexington
County to Richland County passed ehe
House on Friday night.
The following report OF the pro
eeed,ngs is taken from the Columbia
correspondence Of the News and Cour'
iet written by Col. August Kohn:
aWhen the matter was called Mr.
Winqard wanted the bill returned to
Tie committee. The House refused
10 kill the motion to commit by a vote
Of 81 to 81.
"Mr. Youmans said every detail OF
the law had been complied with and
this section wanted to come to Ricn-
land and it ought 10 be granted. Mr..
Youmans said the, methods OF those
ep6os,ng the bill weae not open and
above board. He did not like the ws7
the Representatives from Lexington
were making their fight. These peo
ula,have complied with every detail
Of the law and he did not think it was
n lfratter Of ordinary discretaon for the
House to refuse TO pass the annexation
bilI when every detail nas been legal
~ complied with. 80,
sMr. Youmans said the two PROPOSE
tions on which the, bill was delayed
lashyear have utterly fallen ito the
ground. The people in the. territory
want to come to HIGHLAND County and
have said so, and there is no reason
why there should be further delay.
..Mr. Isaac Edwards, OF Lexington,
said Mr. Youmans had opened a wide
rad and he had ITO go in. 7 He said Mr..
YoGmans had neither the, facts. Nor
law. This he argued was a serious
matter to Lexington. He and his peo-
ME wanted to make an appeal to the
House not to further cripple Lexing

uai counties of the State. 1t has al

show that in the section involved the
voters wanted to come over by vote
of 1852 to 10, and were still OF that
opinion; in fact, this was the view
three weeks ago. The finances must
be adjusted under the present: Act:
MIR. Rembert explained Whist Richland
County provided for roads in the sec.
tion to be annexed. To kill this Dill
would be to adopt an expost facto
law.
.sMr. Youmans apologized for any
criticism he had made, as he was un-
der misapprehension in his comment. /,
'sMr. J. Brooks Wingard made an
eloquent and forceful argument
against the passage Of this bill. He
had maps and statistics against the
dismemberment of Lexington and ar.
gued that his county had done Its tuIl
share, for in the section that wants 10
Leave Lexington the county had just
zone in debt $4,000 to provide free
bridges fer these folks. he argued
chat it was neither fair, just or expe-
dent to pass this bill and further in
lure Lexington. He held that the bill
was against public policy.
"Mr. Carey, Of Oconee, lived IN tne
Dutch Fork for two years and our,
ing that residence he never visited
Lexington and the interests OF tnaI
section are more with Columbia and
more 80 now. The whole question Is,
Have these people the right legally
to come to Richland and then have
they complied with the law This is
the heart of the whole matter. He
thought these people have right TO
Join Richland and he was equally sure
these people have complied with ev-
cry detail of the law.
',Mr. Gasque opposed the bill. Ihe
Legislature under the Constitutions
should be the sole judge Of the Whoie
matter. It ismorally wrong tor tne
rich and strong TO leave the weak. ne
held that there were certain voters III

the right to vote. There are 307 reg

about 100 .vo ers participated IN the
election. This he held was not the
necessary two-thirds vote He pre-
dicted that many would feel the re-
suit of this policy of letting. one sec
tion leave county and go to another.
