TAFT TO BE NOMINEE
President Has So Decreed, and Four
Hundred Federal Einpldyes Will
Do Hi9f Bidding ?White House
Autocracy Has Disgusted G. O. P.l
Leaders?Mr. Bryan at the Gover
nors' Conference.
By WILLIS J. ABBOT.
This administration is making histo
ry, and the sincerity of purpose of the
president conquers even those public
men who question bis policies and who
are inclined to resent the gradual in
crease in the federal power for which
he so emphatically stands. The confer
ence of the governors of the states of
this Union held at the White House
was a notable event and will by future
historians be estimated as one of the
great political occurrences of the early
iyears of the twentieth century. Pres
ident Roosevelt has done many clever
things, but none more clever than this
?one. He brought together Democratic
governors insistent upon state rights
?nd Republican governors who are in
clined to look leniently upon the ex
tension of the federal power. He har
monized them so that all went away
applauding his programme. He brought
as distinguished citizens In private life
Mr. James J. HUT1 and Mr. Andrew
Carnegie, Mr. W. J. Bryan and Mr.
, John1 Mitchell, who fraternized and.
without sacrificing any of their Indi
vidual beliefs or convictions, parted
the best of friends and equally devot
ed, to the purposes for which tbe con
ference was called.
. It would be futile and foolish to as
? sert that no politics was talked by the1
delegates to the convention. But the
twe statesmen whose names appear
most frequently in discussion of the
Democratic presidential nomination
talked no politics for publication Nei
ther Mr. Bryan nor Governor Johnson,
though pursued incessantly by newspa
per men, said one word concerning any
' iJerspnal^andidacyfor. thenomination.
Mr. Bryan utterly refused to give any
interviews on political matters, and his
speech before the governors, which
was received with such enthusiasm as
the White House never before wit
nessed, bad not one line in It that could
be described as partisan. Neverthe
less Mr. Bryan left the conference a
stronger man than when he went In.
He had shown the governors and the
delegates that he stood for certain is
sues that were not necessarily partisan
and that he was quite as able to ap
plaud the president upon Issues which
he believed to be right us to oppose
those he thought wrong. There was no
more enthusiastic reception given to
any one, not to the president himself,
than that given to Mr. Bryan when he
spoke.
What the Governors Thought.
After the conference was over rep
resentatives of a New York paper
which is bitterly antagonistic to Mr.
Bryan polled the governors on theii
preferences for a presidential nominee.
Here Is the result: Every Democratic
governor was for Bryan; every Repub
lican governor who did not come from
a state having a "favorite son" was for
Taft. Governor Folk of Missouri said
in my presence: "MtsouiTs vote at
Denver will be cast for Mr.. Bryan. II
is well known that I am a supporter of
him." Governor Comer of Alabama
said, "I am for Bryan and believe thai
he will be nominated and elected."
On the Republican side perhaps the
strongest statement made by any One
outside of the states In which "favor
ite sons" are being urged was that
from Governor Warner of Michigan
who said: "Quote me in the most vig
orous terms as being in favor of Taft
The entire state of Michigan is for him,
and I have no doubt that he will bt
nomiuated and elected." ?
Here in Washington there has ceased
to be any doubt of the nomination ot
Taft, but every day the doubt of his
election is becoming more general.
A Story From Alaska.
Thomas Cale. territorial delegate
from Alaska, elected on a noupartisan
ticket, told to a number of friends in
the house cloakroom the other day a
story which has no particular political
bearing, but which has some interest
as showing the enthusiasm which Mr.
Bryan is able to awaken among his
supporters. Mr. Cale was a miner in
the far recesses of the Klondike in
1800. A paper in Dawson rejoicing In
the name of tbe Daily Nugget prepar
ed during that militant year of poli
tics a goiden souvenir and invited Its
readers to vote as to whether it should
be given to Mr. McKinley or Mr. Bry
an. The editor of the paper was a Re
publican aud had no doubts as to
what direction the gift would take.
The souvenir was a golden circle
[Within which were suspended small
models of the miners* tools, the pick,
the windlass, the pan and the other
necessaries of the prospector. The
election 'fas held on Canadian sc.fi
and was, of course, purely a senti
mental affair. Thomas Cale traveled
on foot sixty miles from his camp in
the Klondike wilderness t<> Dawson.
rolling himself in his blanket at night
driving his dog te.im by day, merely
to east his vote. The result of the
election was that .be souvenir was
awarded to Mr. Bryan by a vote of
more than three to one, somewhat to
the disgust of tie Republican news*

paper proprietor who had offered it.
Oale says that Mr. Bryan told him
that it was deposited in his safe .as
among- the most prized memorials of
his first campaign.
1 The Two Conventions.
The Republicans have -practically
.finished their selection of delegates to
the Chicago convention. On the sur
face it appears that the 'convention
will easily nominate Secretary Taft'.'
That nomination, if made, and I think
it will be made, will be accomplished
by the power bf one man. There is
no longer a Republican party. There
is only a Roosevelt, who controls the
Republican party. To what extent,
the president'can follow up his deter
mination to 'nominate Taft by forc
ing his election is yet to lx> determin
ed. Recently the statement appears
that nearly 400 delegates to the Chi
cago convention are federal employ
ees, owing allegiance to Roosevelt and
doing his bidding. That is a- very
good start for a nomination to be
made by merely a majority of votes.
But when it comes to the election a
different Issue will be raised. The
president can control a convention, but
to control the nearly 15.000,000 voters
of the nation requires a different order
of talent. It is not probable that Mr.
Roosevelt appreciates the hostility of
public men In his own party to him.
His popularity with the voters in cer
tain parts of the country, may be ad
mitted, but his strength with the lead
ers of his party must be questioned.
A Pennsylvania Republican congress
man told me only a few days ago that
he expected Bryan's nomination and
hoped for his election. . As he turned
away he said: "This seems a strange
thing for a Republican to say, but we
would like to get back to the system
under which congress had something
to say in regard to the government
of this "country. We are tired of a
White House autocracy, and we would
willingly retire for four years in order
that the record of the last twelve
years might be obliterated and the
precedent set during that period might
now be set aside."
It is extraordinary how strong this
feeling is. It is not reflected at all
adequately in the newspapers, been use
the men who will talk In this way to
a correspondent or to a political friend
will preface their remarks by saying
that they must not be quoted by nume.
For example, a New England senator
?never mind whom?a senator who
has been quoted for some time as be
ing one of the "allies" opposed to Mr.
Roosevelt, told rae Sunday that the
fight was up; that Taft would.be nom
inated, and nominated not by the con
vention, but by the power of Roose
velt. He did not like the nomination.
Rather was he for Fairbanks or for j
Cannon. But he- said .that the tre-!
tnendo?s power of the administration
being put back of Tuft hud already
accomplished the nomination and that
It was idle now to attempt further to
antagonize it. Therefore they would
accept the inevitable and M r. Tail
would receive the nomination. "But."
said he. "a nomination grudgingly
granted is not equivalent to an elec
tion, even though granted by the ma
jority parry*. You are likely to find
in the coming election many Republic
an public men who have ordinarily
been out fighting in the open for the
Republican candidate who this year
will look upon the campaign season as
a good time to take trips to Europe
and who will shed no tears if Mr.
Bryan Is elected. There are-many
who will be entirely content with four
years' relief from the present domi
nant influence in the White House.
Of course we will -be back in the fight
four years hence, with a determina
tion then to keep your friend out of
power for twelve years more.''
Newspaper readers would be aston
ished to know how general this feel
ing Is among Republican politicians in
both house and senate, and of course
to be in either the house or the senate
means to be a politician. The defeat
of the Republican ticket by Mr. Bryan
this year, which is ?xpected. would
cause very few regrets among the
men .who occupy desks in the two
halls of the capitol. The autocracy of
the White House, the absolute despot
Ism of the speaker and his four allies
in the house of' representatives, the
puissance of Aldrich and his steering
committee, have reduced the ordinary
Republican senator or representative
to a position of complete impotence.
They resent It. and they would like
to substitute for the widely advertised
"square deal" a new deal.
The Future of John Mitchell.
When John Mitchell, the former
president of the United Mine Workers
of America, was in Washington last
week somebody started the story that
he might be the candidate for vice
president on the Democratic ticket.
The suggestion took like wildfire.
Everybody was talking about it. ex
cept John Mitchell. One of his habits
is to talk little and to do much. Par
ticularly is he disinclined to talk
about himself. I have ? known him
since the days of the anthracite strike
and have admired him much as an ex
ecutive. Perhaps he would make a
good vice president, because the duty
of the incumbent of that olllce is t?>
sit on I he rostrum and let gentlemen
like the Hon. Jeff Davis or the Hon.
Chaur.eey Depew talk to him. Mr.
Mitchell would be admirably equipped
for the place of a sagacious listener.
He did. however, say to me that,
while he admired President Roosevelt
for lhe many good things he had dear,
in the cause Sf labor, he himself wn.
a Democrat and had been all his life.
He now holds no office in the gift of
his labor organization and indeed de
clined a pension from that organiza
tion. How. far the suggestion of Iiis
candidacy may go no one can tHJ. hut
if the favorable opinion it awakened
In Washington affords any criterion it
may go fa:- Indeed.

WHO THEY ARE.
Names, of State Candidates So
Far Who Have Announced.
MAY BE OTHERS.
What Each Candidate Has to Pay to
Enter the Race, Which With His
Other Expenses Makes Running
for a State Office an Expensive
Luxury.
As will be noticed upon reference
to the schedule published in another
column the State campaign will open
on June 17. and there will be two
campaign parties?one composed of
the candidates for the United States
senate and the other composed of
the candidates for state offices. The
two parties will start on .the same day,
at. different places, and tour the state
in different directions.
At present there are five candidates
for United States senator?Hon. John
Gary Evans of Spartanburg; Hon.
D. C. Heyward of Richland; Hon.
George Johnstone of Newberry; Hop.
O. B. Martin of Richland and Hon.
E. D. Smith of Florence. These
gentlemen, and others who may
hereafter enter the race, will tour
the state together, and it is to be
hoped that people will be edified on
national issues by their able address
es on topics of the day.
There are two candidates for gov
ernor?Governor M. F. Ansel and
State Senator Cole L. Blease of New
berry. There is yet possibility of
further opposition to Governor Ansel,
as seme of the most insistent prohibi
tionists do not relish his recent
change on the prohibition issue and
are disposed to bring out a candidate
in opposition who will stand for un
qualified prohibition.
None of the state officials is apt to
have opposition except Railroad Com
missioner Caughman, who will be
opposed by several, among whom are
J. A. Summersett of Columbia, Hal.
W. Richardson of Barn well. F. C.
Fishburn of Charleston and Cansler
of Tirzah.

SERVANT PROBLEM.
ENG LS H* GIRLS TO BE USED TO
SOLVE IT.
The State Immigration Bureau En
tering Upon an Experiment of
Great Interest to the State.
A letter from Columbia, to The
News and Courier says in the ex
periment which Commissioner Wat
son has started of substituting a
high type of English-speaking house
hold servant girl for the negro ser
vant girl he is convinced both from
employers and the girls themselves
ithat he has finally laid the founda
tion for a successful, practical solu
tion of the vexed negro servant pro
blem in this State, and if the experi
ment proves a success here it will be
"a go" throughout the S?rth. After
repeated failures during four years'
hard work the commission is now sa
tisfied that success is at hand.
The first experiments along this
line were with foreign-speaking peo
ple, and in every case this proved a
failure. These are the kind of fore
ign servants that are being placed to
a large extent in the North. Com
missioner Watson then concluded
that this section would have to have
a higher type than is used in the
North ?in order to supplant the negro,
who is daily growing more useless
exacting- and that the new servants
must speak English. He was further
persuaded that the newcomers in or
der to be satisfied tnemselves and
render satisfactory service would have
to he in touch with the otner mem
bers of the!" families, so as to give
the home touch and alleviate the so
cial alienation which had made other
experiments with English-speaking
girls failures. Accordingly persis
tent, energetic work was carried on
in the desirable farm section of En
gland with literature, lectures and
personally conducted tours with big
vans.
The thirty-three English people
brought here less than a month ago
and located in and around Columbia,
Edgefield, Abbeville, Greenville and
elsewhere in the State, have all writ
ten letters to the department express
ing satisfaction, and every girl so
located has written letters through
the department to friends and rela
tives abroad, urgirg them to come
on to South Carolina and live.
FIVE THOUSAND DOLLARS SHORT
That's Why a Florence Man Left
Home Some Dnys Ago.
A dispatch from Florence says the
officials of the Bank of Florence gave
out another statement in regard to
the Lee Brunson affair. After go
ing, over his hooks very carefully
they have found a shortage of $5,'
000. They have not yet finished
their work on his books, but it is
not thought that the shortage will
exceed this amount. This informa
tion comes as a severe blow to the
many friends of Lee Brunson there
and throughout the State. When
the statement was given out that
there was a shortage in Branson's ac
counts, his father, Judge W. A. Brun
son, and the other relatives promptly
made good the shortage, and any
other that may bbe found, thus ob
viating any prosecution of fiis bond.
BOTH LEGS CRUSHED.
A Sumter Colored Man Meets With
Unfortunate Accident.
At Sumter Charley Lawry, one of
the cojored scavenger cart drivers
of the city, met with a most terrible
accident Saturday night about 10.30
o'clock in being run over by a
switch engine in the Atlantic Coast
Line yards. Both of his legs, just
below the knees, were so badly crush
ed that they had to he amputated.
His chances of recovery are fairly
good, but it will require several days
yet before any definite idea may be
formed. The accident occurred near
the water track, on a frog switch, and
it is said that Lowry was sitting
down on the track and that one of
his feet became wedged in tjje frog
and lhat he could not get his foot
out in time to get out of the way.
