IN POLITICAL CIRCLES,
ITINERARY OF CAMPAIGN PARTY
TO BE FIXED SOON,
Sumter May be Chosen as Place of
First Political Conn
mittec to Fix Assessmcnt<-BIeas
and Jones Now Making Separate
Campaigns - Graft Trials This
Week.

Columbia, May 26.-Political cir
cles are awaiting on the announce
State Democratic executive commit
tee Of the campaign itinerary, which
| is in the hands Of II. |. Manning. of
Sumter; w. F. Stevenson, Of Cheraw,
and John Gary Evans, of Spartan
burg, the state chairman. This sub
committee was appointed to draft
the campaign itinerary and to make
up the assessments and it's report is
the next matter on which candidates
and political interests are waiting.
The campaign will likely open
about the middle of June at either
Sumter or SOME city in the up-coun-
try. Until the formal opening the
candidates are busy shaking hands,
making addresses here and there,
and otherwise mapping out their
course which they will pursue in
seeking the votes of the people. The
voters generally are awaiting the
joint debate which will take place
at every county seat and run right
up to the eve Of the election in Au-
gust.
"Bleasism" continues to be the is
sue Of the campaign and, as the time
for the formal opening draws nearer.
this Issue is more and more being
emphasized. will Blease be defeat
ed and what will be Jones majority?"
are the questions daily asked by
. thousands Of interested South Caro-
linians. The many and various mat
ters, personal opinions and other
merely incidental parts Of the present
political situation promise the most
interesting campaign the State has
seen in many years.
Governor Blease was at Honea
Path and Ware Shoals yesterday
making speeches in the interest of his
candidacy for reelection. Judge
Jones has been in the Pee-Dee Sec
tion for the past week looking after
his candidacy for the GovernOrship
and many Of the candidates for the
other state offices have been in diff
, ferent parts of the state, putting for
ward their claims. This programme
will probably he generally followed
until the formal campaign opens.
The graft" trials this week in the
Richland County Court will keep the
news circles i'm Columbia busy. The
Hub" Evans case is set for Tues
| day and that against John Bell Tow
i'll, l.. w. Boykn and w. O. Tatum
known as the label" case is set for
, Wednesday, The "Hub" Evans case
is not expected to consume much
time. but it is likely that the label"
case will take ut least the rest Of
| the week.

Will Campaign Montana

| The announcement is made
that the woman suffragists will
start another campaign in Mon
tana at once and hope for better
success at the hands of the next
legislature than received at the
last. Miss Jeanette Rankin of
Missoula, noted worker in the
cause, will give this state her at
tention and will have the assist
ance of other earnest workers.
There should be no question
as to the result, as women should
be accorded the right to vote
along with the men. They are
as capable as most men in .judg-
ing of affairs and common right
and justice could do no more
than give the privilege of casting
a ballot should they desire to do
so. 1t may be that all of them
would not take advantage of the
privilege, neither do all men, so
that should be no excuse for re-
fusing the right.

Basket Social
And Dance

The management of the Roman
base ball team has decided to
give a dance and basket social
at the Roman opera house on
Saturday evening, May 11th, to
raise money to help finance the
team. Stansbury & Welch have
donated the use of the opera
house for that evening and this
generosity is greatly appreciated
by the whole team. The details
of the dance and social have been
worked out and the following
plan adopted.
Tickets will be sold at one dol
lar each, and anyone buying a
basket will be allowed to apply
the dollar paid to dance, on the
purchase price of the basket. No
basket to sell for less than one
dollar, and all baskets limited in
price to two dollars. Thus if
anyone bids two dollars for a
basket and has already bought a
dance ticket, he only pays one
dollar more.
The music will be as good as
can be secured and everybody is
guaranteed as fine a time as they
ever had in Roman.
The committees appointed to
have the affair in charge are as
follows:
Refreshments Mrs. Geo. E.
Broughton. Mrs. Claude Wagner,
Mrs. w. r. Sheen, Mrs. A. M.
Sterling, Mrs. H. N. Carper,
Mrs. Fred Potvin.
Music Mrs. NJ. W. Hall, Mrs.
Dorothea Stillman, Mrs. C. T.
Welch, Miss Edith Conway, Bert
Flatton.
Floor committee Earl Wag-
ner, Geo. Broughton, Harry
Carper, Jack Carney, Bolivar
Scearce, Fred Gariepy.

Farmers Banquet

The first of the two banquets
to be rendered the farmers of
the valley tributary to Roman
will be tomorrow evening. This
banquet is for the farmers living
north of the township line be-
tween townships 20 and 81, and
100 tickets are available for this
event.
The committee in charge say
that all the tickets will be dis
posed of, and that everything
indicates a good time.
M. L. DePhelps of the Pablo
Hotel will serve the supper,
which will be in Bonner's hall,
and the guests have all been sent
tickets to attend.
Besides the good things to eat
there will be short speeches by

Market Day

Remember that May 18th is tc
be- the first of the market days
to be held in Roman during the
coming season. This day should
be a profitable one to all the
farmers who have anything to
sell or who desire to purchase
anything for their farms.
Many towns hold these market
days and find them attended by
great crowds of people every
time one is held. 1t brings to-
gether farmers from every di-
rection, and what one has to sell,
the other may wish to buy and
thus all are benefited.
Bring in your chickens, pigs,
horses. COWS, etc., and make the
first market day a big success.
The Ronan pioneer. [volume] (Ronan, Mont.) 1910-1970, 1912-04-26

routine matters left over by the
old trustees attended to.
The election of the old officers
will not give general satisfaction,
it being thought by many that
school matters did not receive
the attention during the past
year by them that it should, and
some hope was had that a change
would occur. 1t seems, however,
that such hopes did not have any
good basis.
The next meeting will occur
on May 18th, at which time the
teachers for the ensuing year
will be engaged. Those desiring
positions in the schools should
get their applications in before
that date.

Poison, 12; ~
Roman, 8

The first game Of base ball this
season between these old rivals
goes to the town on the lake, by
score of IL to 8. 1t looked like
a massacre for eight innings but
the locals made a batting rally
in the last half of the ninth and
ran in five runs.
Knox occupied the box for the
visitors and was quite effective
all through the game until the
last inning when he either
weakened or the boys got onto
him, and they proceeded to
pound him severely. Claud Wag-
ner pitched for Roman and while
he does not lay claim to being a
twirler, held the Poison batters
to scattered hits except in one
inning when they fell on him for
three home runs and two other
scores.
Several costly errors were
made by both teams, about an
equal number on each side, and
while the game was not close at
any time it was a pretty fair one,
for the first of the season and
when they all need practice.
Jimmy Dupuis umpired and
did not show any partiality.
Both sides kicked a little, but
not so much as generally occurs
when these two teams meet.
1t was the only real pleasant
game the writer ever saw be-
tween Poison and Roman and
there is some confidence express
ed that the days of wrangling at
ball games between these two
towns is passed. Let US hope so.
Quite a number of visitors came
over from Poison to see the
game and they all behaved nice
ly. That's a comfort also.

letter is printed to show the SEN

Poison Case Appealed

A Helena dispatch dated the
23rd says:
b. W. Reed, a chauffeur of
Portland, Oregon, appeared in
the federal court today and
pleaded guilty to selling liquor to
a Crow Indian. He was given
the minimum sentence of 60 days
in Jail and $l00 fine. Judge Bour-
quin remarked to the defendant
that the punishm ent was more
severe than might at first be
thought; that it deprived a man
OF the right to vote, of the
right to hold office and of the
right to sit on jury. These
citizenship rights can be restored
only bv the president.
Judge Bourquin today signed
a certificate as to jurisdiction in
the case of the United States
against G. A. Larson, recently
convicted of bootlegging on the
Flathead reservation, so that the
case may be carried to the SUI
preme court of the United States.
Larson's attorney, F. D. Lingen-
felter, claims the federal author

which is situated on that part of
the reservation which was
thrown open to entry.

Carries Other States

The primary election for dele
gates to the national convention
was held last Saturday in Ne
braska and Oregon, and Col.
Roosevelt carried both. He had
a large majority of the votes in
Nebraska and in Oregon he had
plenty to insure him the vote of
that state. West Virginia elected
delegates to the state convention
and this also went to Roosevelt.
Matters are even almost now,
with Taft and Roosevelt about an
equal number of delegates. La
Toilette las the balance of power

dark horse grow brighter every

AICer one OF the most exciting
campaigns it is possible to i'm
agine, and after both sides ha(
made the claim that there was
nothing to it, the election las1
Saturday for the first officers OF
the town Of Roman, the result
showed that the Citizens ticket,
headed by E. H. Rathbone, of
the Pioneer, for mayor. to be
victorious all the way through.
From early in the morning the
interest was not allowed to lag,
but workers were busy until the
last vote was cast, and every
vote with the exception of three
or four was polled. Those who
did not vote were absent from
town and thus were prevented
from so exercising the franchise.
Autos and carriages were
brought into service to convey
voters to and from the polls and
everybody exhibited keen inter-
est in the outcome.
The judges of the election were
Frank Myers. A A Dix and
Robt, M. Bonner; the clerks were
Geo. E. Broughton and Richard
Mcleod. Four of the regularly
appointed election officers were
candidates, Cash Coulter, Harry
Carper, A. Sutherland, judges,
and Ross Lemire, one of the
clerks, were candidates for offices
and being thereby disqualified,
the electors at the opening of
the polls, chose others in their
places.
The vote by wards was as fol-
lows:
FIRST WARD
For mayor, Rathbone, q,
Sutherland 10; aldermen, Carper
20, Curtis Fl, burst 8, Nc
Knight 10. Majorities Rath-
bone II, Curtis II, Carper 10.
SECOND WARD
For mayor, Rathbone 80,
Sutherland IA; aldermen, Brow
er 38, Lemire 80, Foster Is, Lar
son 16. Majorities Rathbone
"a, Brewer 22, Lemire II.
THIRD WARD
For mayor, Rathbope 10,
Sutherland ID; aldermen, Brand
jord 19, Coulter 18, Scearce II.
Majorities Rathbone 5, Brand
jord 2, Coulter 1.
The total vote for mayor was
Rathbone 78, Sutherland 38.
for Rathbone, 40.
What sore spots that may have
existed have apparently been all
healed up and forgotten at the
time this goes into print, and
everybody accepts the result
gracefully and all will be found
hard for Roman first,
last and all the time.
The result for aldermen in the
third ward shows the race to
nave been a very close one, it
being three cornered fight be-
tween Messrs. Brandjord, Coul-
ter and Scearce, with the two
first named just nosing out.
