TEppY's MEN LEFT CONVENTION
Formation OF . Third Party Under
Way; May Hold Convention
IN August

Last Saturday the following
wire was sent from Chicago:
With nearly $50 of the Roose-
velt delegates declining to vote
and fastening away at the ad-
journment time to tender to
Colonel Theodore Roosevelt
the nomination of new party,
the fifteenth republican nation
al convention, at the end of a
long and tumultuous session
renominated William Howard
Taft of Ohio, for president, and
James Schoolcraft Sherman of
New York, for vice president.
President Taft received 561 of
the 1,O78 votes in the conven-
ton, or 81 more than a MAORI
ty. The decision of the Roose-
velt people under direction of
their leaders to refrain from
voting, left no other candidate
near the president. The an
nouncement of Taft's victory
was greeted with cheering from
his adherents and groans and
Kisses from the opposition.
When it became absolutely
certain today that Mr.. Taft
would be renominated without
great difficulty, the leaders in
control of the convention decid-
ed to give him as a running
mate his companion on the
ticket in 1908, Mr.. Sherman"
Roosevelt men from twenty
one states withdrew from the
convention hall and held an
other meeting. OF this the
Associated Press says:
Former president Theodore
Roosevelt was nominated for
president on an Independent
ticket tonight in the dying
hours of the republican nation
al convention in which he had
met defeat.
Followers of Colonel Roose-
welt gathered in the orchestra
hall, less than a mile from the
Coliseum and pledged their
support to the former president.
In accepting the nomination
Colonel Roosevelt appeal to the
people of all sections regardless
of party affiliation to stand

party, one of whose cardinal

The primary election on
Wednesday was remarkable
chiefly for the lack of interest
taken on the part of a large
percentage of the voters. The
vote was very light in this
county and, in fact, all over the
state. There was good deal
of careless voting and many
ballots had to be thrown out in
part or altogether on account
of serious errors. .-.4
Returns have come in slow
ly and results are not definite
lv known. At midnight last
night Buchanan, progressive
republican candidate for gov
,ernor had a lead over Hanna of
600, with G. A. johnson poor
third. It was thought Buchan-
an could hold his lead on first
choice votes but there was a
question if the second choice
feature might not defeat him.
However, a very large percent
age of voters did not exercise
the second choice privilege.
On the democratic side,
Hellstrom was leading Jones
bv small margin but the re-
turns were far from being
complete.
The situation in the second
district is very much up in the
air at this time. Figures are
hard to get and it will proba-
bly, be several days before much
will be known. The indica-
tions are, however, that Young
is ahead with Kirk and Tuttle
fighting for second place. The
stalwarts did some excellent
work at the eleventh hour for
Tuttle.

Weather Warm and Dry

The weather during the past
week has been warm and dry
and growth has been pushed
along rapidly. Incidentally. of
course, moisture has been used
up rapidly and there is now an
approaching need for rain. This
is especially true in the case of
fields where the stand is very
heavy. Hot winds just now
would do heavy damage.

STREET CAR STRIKE
IS ON IN COLUMBIA
NOT A CAR MOVED IN CITY on
SUNDAY.
Strike Called on Saturday Morning.
Refused to Recognize Almalgamat-
~
- ed Association,

Columbia, Oct. 21.-The only visible
developments yesterday and last night
from the strike of the motormen and
conductors of the Columbia Electric,
Gas and Street Railway company were
that no cars were operated and the
rails took on an unwonted brown coat
ing of rust. Not single street car
left the barn yesterday or last night.
No steps were taken by either the
company Or the strikers toward a
settlement of their disagreement.
Yesterday morning about IS of the
striking street car motormen and con-
ductors attended the services at the
Associate Reformed Presbyterian
church, conducted by Rev. ]. P. Knox.
Last night the strikers, with members
of their families, went to the Green
Stret Methodist church by agreement.
Rev. A. E. Holler, the pastor, ad-
dressed a part of his sermon to them.
He urged them to proceed in an order
ly and law-abiding manner in the con-
duct of the strike
Numberless rumors in regard to the
strike situation we're afoat yesterday,
but no action of any kind was taken.
The rusting of the rails of the street
car lines caused some comment. The
humid atmospheric condition has been
very favorable for the oxidation of the
metal. Many people noticed that the
rails had lost their usual steely sheen.
There was large crowd in the aft
ernoon, when hundreds walked out to
the site of the circus, which shows to-
day, to see the tents go up and get
free glimpses of the elephants. The
suburbanites around Columbia were
inconvenienced, of course, by the fail
ure of the cars to run. On Main street
there was an unaccustomed quiet,
easily accounted for by the failure of
cars to rumble past every few min
utes.
The golden age for hacks and auto
mobiles for hire continued uninter-
rupted yesterday.

man Cain, and the closing of the dis
pensaries followed. Whether they will
stay closed during the remainder OF
the strike is not known.
When asked about the strike, Gov
ernor Blease today issued the follow
ing statement: 81 have been requested
to close the dispensaries, and l have
referred the parties to the mayor OF
the city and the chairman of the
county board of control, who have
power coeQual with. that of the gov
ernor to act in the premises; and il
satisfactory arrangements can not be
made with them, then I will take such
action as 1 deem is for the best inter
est of the people of the State.
"It is reported that the street car
people have wired for Northern strike
breakers to come here. I hope that
this is not true, for, in my opinion, it
would be a very unwise step and I
would regret it very much. We do not
need Yankees to run South Carolina's
business"

of the Columbia Street Railway struck
this morning, following a meeting Of
all the conductors and motormen in
the early hours, at which the PROPOSE
ton of the street railway officials was
rejected.
The reason given by the carmen for
going on strike was the refusal of
the railway officials to recognize the
Amalgamated association.
For several hours this morning no
cars were run out of the car barn,
where they we're taken last night, but
about 10 o'clock three cars manned by
inspectors and such men as hadn'
struck, we're run out and put into ser
vice. They were run on three lines,
but only to the city limits.
The first near-disorder occurred just
before noon, when striker boarded
one of the cars and gave the man in
charge, William Filters, a good ours
ing. 1t is said that violence would
have been offered had not some of the
strike leaders been on hand and quick
ly oissuaded the man from any fuTth-
er demonstration. Over 100 men gath
cred around the car at the time. This
afternoon, at the corner Of Taylor and
Gregg streets, one of the cars was
rocked and the trolley rope cut On
account of this disturbance the COM
pany discontinued the running of cars
on that line.
Mayor Takes Precautions.
AS precautionary measure, Mayor
w. H. Gibbes this morning issued a
proclamation instructing the police to
close all clubs where liquor is suppos-
ed to be sold illegally, to permit no
lettering and loafng on the streets,
and to arrrst such persons when they
could not give a good account of them
selves. The mayor ordered the police
to look out especially for the pistol
'Etoters" and to handle them without
favor. He said that he intended to be
fair as between the company and the
strikers and would interpose only to
prevent or punish the breaking OF the
laws of the city.
1t was announced this afternoon,
following a conference between the
railway officials and the mayor, that
no cars would be run at all tomorrow
This was thought to be the part OF
wisdom. Such cars as were run to-
day were sent into the barn early in
the evening and no cars are being
operated tonight and none will be op-
Grated before Monday.
Dispensaries Closed.
The county dispensaries were clos
ed about the middle Of the day, by or

COmpany's Attitude.

When shown the governors state
ment Wee President Elliott, of the
street railway, said that they had not
sent out any kilograms ordering strike
breakers and that they had hired none.
He said the men manning the cars
which were operated today are all
local men. Mr.. Elliott emphatically de-
MED the report that the company had
ordered strikebreakers here. Superln-
'tendent Wallace and Vice President
Elliott are handling the company's
side of the matter.
In statement issued tonight def1n-
ing the company's side of the contro-
versy, it is stated that the committee
of the employees, at conference yes
terday afternoon, agreed to recommend
unanimously to the employees the ac-
'ceptance of the agreement between the
company and the committee of the
carmen. The agreement, in brief,
promised recognition of the local un-
ion, seniority of runs, a two-cent raise
in wages, and other matters, but did
not mention recognition Of the Anal
gamated association of the Street and
Railway Employees of America, No
$50.
The officers say that the strike this
morning came as complete surprise
to them, for they understood that the
comnlttee of the employees was 60
ing to recommend to the employees
the agreement drawn up and accepted
by the committee of employees and
Vice President Elliott and Superin-
tendent Wallace, of the Street railway.

that the street does not run beyond
the Boulevard, while Second-ave runs

is that the Cadillac company. which Is
