,@. SENDS HIS GREETINGS
To The Daily IntelHgencer -
Compliments the Great Coun-
-. - -. ty, of Anderson. -

Editor Of Daily Anderson Intelligence:
Anderson, S. G..
It is with genuine pleasure I learn that
the Intelligencer WILDE launched out into
the broader field of journalism. ).
Anderson was the first county in the
State to successfully maintain a daily
newspaper, almost entirely on local sup
port. in city SO, loyal, so full Of public
enterprise aud all the essentials OF prog
ress, growth and development, it would
seem that the success of the Intelligencer
ir the daily field is assured.
My earliest impressions of the people OF
Anderson were that her citizenship was
composed of moro good men than make
up the ordinary vicinity.
This citizenship is compact working
ever for the upbuildng of the city and
working effectively. because they realize
that in the growth and prosperity of their
city they themselves find prosperity. .
The splendid circulation, about 5000,
with which you will greet the good people
of Anderson county assures success in the
beginning" With your experience and
ability in newspaper work, it is certain
that the Daily 1ntelligencer will grow
stronger with each day Of its existence. It
has my hearticst good will on account Of
its management, as well as Oh account iof
its patrons for whom | have feelings of
deepest gratitude.
Yours very sincerely,
Wyatt Aiken.

OUTLINE OF FOUR OF THE FIVE
MEASURES SUGGESTED BY
PRESIDENT WILSON
OF Five Members, Not More Than
Three From One Party, Who Shall
Investigate Corporations and Re.
port as to Violation of the Laws.

Washington, Jan. 24.-Four Of the
proposed bills to supplement the Sher
man antitrust act, suggested by
President Wilson in his recent mes
sage to congress, tonight were made
public, one of them the measure to
create an interstate trade commission
having been introduced during the
day in the house by Representative
Clayton, chairman of the judiciary
committee. +. ..
Three other measures pl epared by
the house judiciary subcommittee fol-
submission and consideration by the
full committee were given to the pub
lie in accordance with the presndent's s
programme of publicity. ..- ...
The three bills to be introduced to-
morrow embrace the following sub
jects:
Prohibition of interlocking direc-
torates of industrial corporations, rail
roads, banks or trust companies, to
be effective two years after approval
Definition of the terms Of the Sher-
man antitrust act, specifically to in
clude within the meaning of "con-
spiracy in restraint Of trade" every
contract, combination in the form, of
trust or otherwise within the
meaning of the word "monopolize, -
mentioning certain definite offenses,
all of which would be prohibited, and
fixing guilt upon individuals.
To Regulate Competition.
A trade relations measure design
ed to prohibit "cutthroat" competi-
tion through price determinations,
discounts, rebates, territorial restric-
tons, etc., and giving to individuals
injured by reason of anything forbid
den in the Sherman act, the right to
bring suits in equity against corpora
ton against which DEGREES have been
obtained by the government.
Chairman Clayton announced that
a fifth projected measure, which
would \provide for government regu-
lation of railroad securities, has not
been drafted and would be taken up
by the house and senate interstate
commerce committees.
Expoofc nu;ob ofjnu
President Wilson expects action by
congress during the present session
on all bills being prepared by con-
gressional committees to deal with
the trust question. He told callers
today that he regarded the group of
bills as reasonably homogeneous and
that he expected promt action.
The president reiterated his desire
that business men should be given a
full opportunity in public hearings to
express their views and criticism.
While the president recommended
in his message supervision by the
interstate commerce commission OF
the issuance of railroad secrities, he
took occasion today to emphasize that
this did not mean necessarily that past
issues would be inquired into, or af-
fected by the present legislation. Nor
did the president consider that the
regulation of railway Sc urities has
anything to do with regulating stock
exchanges. Legislation on this sub
ject, he explained, was not recon-
mended in the Democratic platform
and he did not feel that he should
recommend anything not included in
the platform.

nomination after the primaries the
leaders who control the state committee
would have the power Of naming a man
IN fill his place The formal statement
reads:
There has been a meeting to-day OF
the campaign advisory committee
! One Of the objects Of the meeting was
the detailed consideration of reports
received from the county chairmen.
The particular topic Of conversation
was Colonel Roosevelt's statement on
the eve of sailing for Europe, that all
right-minded people ought to get to-
gether to clean house.
Insist Roosevelt Run.
From many quarters It appears that
there is a strong and insistent demand
that Colonel Roosevelt shall himself be
a candidate for Governor, owing TO his
remarkable experience and great ad-
ministrative ability. and that he shall
head movement which shall expressly
appeal TO the independent voters OF all
parties for the overthrow of the cor
rupt bipartisan control Of the state
government
1T was felt that the time has come
to end the futile alienation between
Republican and Democratic misrule.
between Murphy's Tammany and
Barnes's Tammany, that the voters see
this, and that the call is for man who
is as large as the issue and who can
put government in this state upon the
basis OF honest intention.
Colonel Roosevelt has expressed
himself as averse TO becoming candi-
date. He has reiterate dhis refusal TO
run for Governor. But the demand for
him TO lead in a cleanup is growing in
volume. and il was thought that this
demand would exercise a strong appeal
to his high sense Of duty.
"Any working arrangement or coali-
ton with the Republican machine or
the Democratic machine in this state
was vigorously repudiated. The re-
ports from all over the state were that
the people were demanding a clean-cut
issue.
