thc ppcukihg began. Thon each of the I
speeches wn" . limited to 20 minutes.
While the p'eople from the country
;were patiently awaiting thc arrival of

who Irv opposing Congressman Dyrnos, {
of tho r.econd,district made a brief ad-,

the brief hour here today the candi
date?, bad small opportunity to devel
op any new. angles.to their customa
ry ppeeches; what they had to Say.
was carefully sajd, chiefly . by what
was left unmentioned.

as he did in Beaufort yesterday, of
the bars in Charleston which he said
were tn ? full operation laBt Sunday,
run by "that Dago, So ttl le" a member
of the governor's staff." ."What" con
tinued the .'speaker, "has the chief ex

it's all .right' for Charleston; . why
wrong for. .the people here In Jasper
county?" .' ?
? This precipitated a volley of ques
tions from the audience, one wishing
to know "what are we doing there?"
Others -asked why didn't you swear'
out a warrant, you were a citizen ot
South Carolina?" The speaker brush
ed his querists aside by answering
that ho didn't have to go into the bar'
to see what was gola? on that he was
clot a citizen of Charleston county, nor
an officer sworn to enforce the law'.
Senator Smith Welt Received .
Senator Smith made his usual
speech, setting forth' with as much
detail as the time would permit his
efforts to have enacted a fair contract
between the stock exchange beare and
the cotton producers, also of the Strug
gles he had to "paint Uncle Ephriam
off the picture," his characteristic

defended George W. Perkins, chair
man of th*e Progressive National ex

as chairman was demanded recently
by ^uios Pinchot. .Mr. Pinch?! had
declared Mr. Perkins' affiliation with
certain big business interests made
him unfit to hold his porltion.
"When they reud Perkins ont," Said
Colonel Roosovelt, "they will have to
read me out, too."
The colonel Reiterated that he would
Hot be a candidate for the governor

his health wan all right now and thal
he would speak at Pittsburgh June HO.
"I Miall not be able to speak In the

ever, I shall be able to deliver a cer
tain number of speeches- indoora.

"Mr. Perklnn," declared that colon

the progressive party. He has striven
in absolutely good faith fer all of the
principie? of the party. As for read
ing him out of the party, when that ls
done, they will have to read me out,
too,"
Colonel Roosevelt gave out a letter
from Dr. Hamilton Rice, the explor

Payment Blackmail
In a statement issued today Col.
Roosevelt declared the payment of
secured the right to build the Panama
canal as provided for io the pending
treaty, merely would be the payment
of belated blackmail.
If the proposed treaty ts right, he
said, the presence of the United States
m Panama ls wrong and Panama
rho\ild then immediately bo restored
to Colombia and the United States
should abandon the zone.
I In hlr- statement, Col. Roosevelt
' said in part:
"The payment of twenty-five mil
lions to Colombia together with the
i expression of what' ls in effect an
! apology for our having secured ' tho
! right to build tho Panama canal mere
ly ls the belated payment of black
mail, with an apology to the blackmail
ers. In this proposed treaty submitted
by President Wilson through Mr.
Bryan ls' right, then Our presence on
the Isthmus 1B wrong. In such case
Panama Immediately should be restor
ed to Colombia and we should stop
' work on the canal and abandon the
place, bag and baggage. There
should be no half way measures. If wo
os a nation bave been guilty of theft,
- we should restore ' the stolen goods1.
If we have not;, been guilty of theft,
we should not 'pay the blackmail.
j ! Cation a Clown.
1 ."The handling of our foreign af
fairs by President Wilson and tfecr?
ktary Bryan has been such as to make
[ the United States a figure, of fun tn
. the international world. This pro
' posed Colombian floaty caps the clt
' 'max and If ratified will rightly ren
der us Un object of contempteous de
rision to every nation.' In view of its
1 submission to the Congress, I wish to
' call attention to exactly what was
done under my administration.
,. "Because of the action of the ad
1 ministration, the people of the' Unl
? ted States acquired what they could
by no other means have acquired, the
' right to build tbe Panama canal. In
1 1003 lt was till doubtful whether we
would adopt the Nlcarauguan or the
?Panama route. The government of
i Colombia was exceedingly anxious that
. wo should accept the latter, and offer
ed to arrange, and did arrange, a
? treaty with us to prevent our going
? to Nlcarauga.
Partly in consideration of this trea
ty we abandoned negotiations with
Nlcarauga. We .'.cted tn good faith
i and the comae of action wsS there
- by entered upon was conditioned Upon
>jj their prososaf, their promise. It
WSa Our Jrigsi, aud oleo our ?iuiy lo
; our own people and to tho re?t of the
world to exact tho performance ot thia
. promise.
1 "For four hundred years there has
1 been a conversation about the need
*? of the Panama canal. Tho time for
! .further conversation has passed, the
I time to translate words Into deeds
has come. If I had'followed Presi
dent Wllrpn's policy of "watchful
walting" tt would have ensured hair
a century of additional conversation
and the canal still would ho in the
dim future. And it was only because
