The Times and Democrat, Oraneenurc. S. C. Bryan as a debater is more than a match for Roosevelt and his man Friday. If the light could be turned on Fo raker would not be the only Repub lican Senator in disgrace for being bribed bv the trust. The Foraker incident reveals the reason why the Republicans refuse to publish its list of campaign con tributors before the election. Roosevelt is on the anxious seat regarding the election-of his man Friday, and the evident popularity of Bryan has made him panicky. Tbddy keeps on issuing bulletins begging the dear people to elect hi3 man Friday President, but the dear people seem to have a hankering for Bryan. Senator Foraker has realized that the sin of being "found out" js an awful one in the eyes of Presi dent Roosevelt when someone else beside himself is the sinner. Roosevelt now makes an appeal about once a week to t he people of the country to elect his man Friday to the presidency but the people seem to be somewhat stubborn. Mayor Rhett has gone West to make speeches for the Democratic National ticket. He is all right, and and in the future will be a strong political factor in South Carolina. Just as we predicted Hearst de clines the challenge of Go v. Haskell. Hears t knows he is a liar and sland erer, but he does not wish to be convicted publicly of his baseness. Some few weeks ago Taft and Foraker made friends and the Re publican-press were jubilant, but ?since Foraker has been "found out" and Taft had to drop him again they are sorry they made so much of the incident. The Republican National Cam paign Committee can't fool any one by pretending that it is hard up for j loud.. All the trust magnates are I ready to chip ih when called on by I the party that has> made it possible for them to plunder the people. The State says in attacking ''the char acter of other men, Mr. Hearst has a distinct advantage of those whom he assails. A pen picture of Mr. Hearst can not be presented in newspapers that are permitted to enter the homes of refined Ameri cans." The State wants to know if Willie Hearst ever tried his fumigator upon Willie Hearst. We don't think so. but 'some one else tried their ivmigatpr upon the yellow renegade once and decent people for ten miles around had to hold their noses dur ing the operation. '': 1 ? THfc dW thing needed by the Democrats to insure victory this Fall is money sufficient to pay legit imate campaign expenses. We call on the Democrats of Orangeburg County to do their share in the grand w?rk by making a small con tribution each to the cause. Ex-Attorney General Monnett, of Ohio, who was kicked out of office by Foraker, Taft and company be caused he dared oppose the Stand ard Oil Company, says Taft will be rather lonesome if he repudiates all the Republicans who are tarred with the same stick that Foraker is! tarred with. j We notice that Hearst did not accompany his candidates to Texas. It is said that Hearst is in mortal dread of Senator Bailey, who wrote Hearst one time if he did not quit lying on him he would kill him. Hearst quit saying anything about Bailey until last week when he re ferred to him in a speech. Roosevelt's Pitiful Fall Down. "Wednesday, from early morning till late evening." says the Colum bia State "tho President of the United States, with his private sec retaries, with his whole cabinet and all the other assistants and counsel lors that a president can command, labored to prepare a reply to Mr. Bryan's simple demand of the day before. That reply must be read to gether with the original charges. It dammsMr. Roosevelt as a square dealer or a fair dealer; it convicts him of disregard of the dignity of his office, of disregard of the honor j of other men; of disregard of the I sacrednessof his own^word! ?'Mr. Bryan said to Mr. Roosevelt: 'In a statement given out by you [yesterday . . . you endorse a charge made against Gov. Haskell of Oklahoma to the effect that h was once in the employ of the Stan I dard Oil Company and as such was connected with an attempt to bribe or influence Attorney General Monnett of Ohio to dismiss suits pending against the Standard Oil Company.' "Mr. Bryan demanded an 'immed iate investigation of the charge,' the President to furnish the proof, or to tell where it could be had. "Mr. Roosevelt drops the Ohio ! end of the matter. He has no proof; he can sustain no part of the Hearst charge as to Haskell's conduct in that State. Put Roosevelt refers Bryan to Haskell's record in Okla homa. And all that he has to found nis allegation of corruptionjupon?ah a legation that he doesinotcow press ?is that^while attending the Denver convention, Haskell refused to con sent to proceedings brought by the Attorney General of Oklahoma to prevent the Prairie Oil Company from building a pipe line into that State?and the pipe line was built. Mr. Roosevelt does not even pretend to show that this course was other than that of a governor with large views as to the power of his office, and with his own ideas regarding industrial development. It is not intimated that the coming of the Prairie Oil Company's pipe Jine shut out any other oil, or was not to the advantage of the people of Okla homa. We have no evidence on those points. "After utterly and ignominiously I failing to sustain the gross charge I about Haskell's affiliation with Stan dard Oil, Mr. Roosevelt makes, in [ characteristic style, the broad state ment that the governor of Oklahoma is unfit to be connected with a man working for moral reforms, and quotes from an article in the cur rent issue of The Outlook, that may have been inspired or paid for by the Republican campaign committee savagely attacking the manage ment of the Oklahoma University. Then Roosevelt criticized the veto ing by Haskell of a child-labor bill. "Finally, the President conlrasts | Taft's noble attitude in turning down a compromise with Foraker with Bryan'r in associating Haskell with his political fortunes. And the President knows that Taft's mana gers sought and secured a reconcili ation with Foraker, and that after denouncing him in a private letter, Taft clasped hands, buried she hat chet, and sought and secured Fora ker 's promise of assistance. "Neither we, nor the American I people are familiar with the details of Gov. Haskell's administration in Oklahoma about which Mr. Roose velt yesterday dug up criticisms, but it is patent to every intelligent person that the President has igno miniously failed to sustain his charges, and he admits his Weak cess when he feel'. Mr. Bryan, 'No further investigation of these facts is required.' ''Roosevelt has been cornered and [caughtat last. His utter unrelia bility is glaringly exposed before the American people." Bryan Gains Ground. The New York Herald has the best news gathering facilities of any newspaper in America. For this reason its news is generally ac curate and can be relied on. Since the present Presidential campaign opened the Herald has paid consid erable attention to gathering news ] as to the standing of the candidates. On Sunday, September 13. it pre sented a review of the race for the Presidency as it appeared at that time. It then sumarized conditions as follows: Total vote in electoral college 483; necessary to elect a| President 242; Republicans reasona bly sure 206; Democrats reasonably sure 161; doubtful 116; Taft to win must get (doubtful votes) 36: Bryan to win must get (doubtful votes) 81. In its report Sunday, September 20, the Herald said the Democratic prospects had improved wonderful ly. It took Kansas, North Dakota, Ohio and Oregon out of the Taft column and put them in the doubt ful column. These four States cast 41 votes in the electoral college. The outlook as given by the Herald on| Sunday, September 20, was, there lore, as follows: Total vote in elec toral college 483. necessary to elect1 a President 242; Republicans reason ably show 165; Democrats reason ably sure 161: doubtful 157; Repub licans to win must get (doubtful votet) 77; Democrats to win must got (doubtful votes) 81. As the News and Courier says Democrats may justly find encour agement in the outlook as it is pre sented bv the Herald. Moreover, the Herald's correspondent at po litical headquarters in Chicago says that m the Republican camp condi tions are characterized by chill, nervousness, inactivity, incapacity to get together and a failure to rea lize the necessity for work, whiie he describes the Democrats as being not only confident of success, but united and active. The Herald is supporting Taft, arid this fact makes its estimates more encouraging to the Democrats. "Weare in Easy street," was the statement made to the representa tive of the Herald when he called at Democratic headquarters, "except," it was added, "that we have not much money." "That is a deficien cy," says the News and Courier, "which the Democrats of the South may help to supply. Many have al ready done their duty in this re spect. Thousands of others,' how ever, have as yet given no substan tial indication that they desire the election of a Democrat to the Pres idency. It is dollars that the managers of the campaign need now, not good wishes. Every Dem ocrat who really wants Bryan elected, and who has not already opened his pocket book to that end, will do so without delay." Roosevelt's Sniallness. President Roosevelt can stoop to small things when he thinks it will advance his interests to do so. In a formal statement given to the press last Monday.in reference to the ex posure of Senator Foraker by W. R. Hearst, who had in public utter ances accused the Senator of rela tions with the Standard Oil Compa ny inconsistent with his duties as a Senator and his attitude as a repre sentative of the Republican policies and profession, President Roose velt makes another appeal for the support of Mr. Taft and declares that his defeat "would bring: last ing satisfaction "to but one set of men, namely, to those men who, as shown in the correspondence publish ed by Mr. Heartt, were behind Mr. Foraker the opponents of Mr. Taft within his own party, and who now are behind Governor Haskell and his associates, the opponents of Mr. Taft in the opposite party." In the above deliverance President Roose velt clearly intimates that the Standard Oil Company is favorable to the election of Mr. Bryan and op posed to the election of Mr. Taft In fact he says it is "behind Gov. Haskell and his associates, the op ponents of Mr. Taft in the opposite party." The only interpretation that can be put on this sentence is that the Standard Oil Company is financiering the Democratic cam paign. President Roosevelt knew this charge to be an absolute lie concocted by W. R. Hearst, and that in using it he was circulating a lie. This shows the smallness of the man, but it does not surprise us as it is not the first lie he has told or circulated. In the cam paign of 1904 he denied receiving any campaign money from corpora tions when according to his friend Harriman, he had checks in his pocket from the three principal in surance companies of New York for $150,000 to be used in debauching the voters of New York and. save the State to the Republicans.; Got Them on the Run. The elections in Vermont and Maine showed substantial Demo cratic gains and indicated the election of Bryan and Kern by a substantial majority, but some re cent elections in Indiana indicates a tidal wave 'in November. Severed members of the Indiana Legislature had died or Iresigned since the last session of that body, so that special elections were held Monday to fill the vacancies, and the result almost gave the Republicans a chill. Five Republican counties in northern Indiana that gave Rjosevelt over 2,500 went Democratic by nearly 200. In southern Indiana three Democratic counties that went to Parker by 1.725 in 1904 went Demo cratic Monday by nearly 2,000, In Delaware county the Republican majority of 1904 was cut down from 4.646 to 272. A dispatch from Indianapolis to the New York World says the result indicate a Democratic landslide in November, according to Democratic claims. Some predict the State will go for Bryan by 40,000. Let the good work go on. ' Republican Boomerangs. The Boston correspondent of the Springfield Republican says Repub lican bDomerangs have been hurling through the darkened air ever since the Chicago Convention. He says the Republican platform was a boomerang so well aimed that the party has been dodging it ever! since it was adopted; in fact, it was two of those returning weapons in one; an omission boomerang and a commission boomerang. This Cleve land last will and testament is thus far a boomerang; it has not injured the Democrats here and apparently j nowhere else. The Cannon boom erang aimed at the Nebraska "mil lionaire" has already raised a new phrenological bump f on the hosry head of the Speaker, which may be called the bump of knowthyselfish ness- -since he now knows how it is himself. The Anti-Hughes boom rang in New York and the Ch'anler anti-merger boomerang in New Hampshire are skimming and whirling in those regions, and" I shall be surprised if this last Roose-j velt homily on Taft does not return to plague the hurler of it.j He could much more usefully have de voted half as many adjectives to the support of Gov Hughes in his own State who must now be elected, if at all (as he was before,) by Demo ocratic ballots. Kettle Calling Pot Black. President Roosevelt jumped on Senator Foraker with both feet for allowing himself to be exposed as one of the Republican politicians who is always ready to help the Standard Oil trust in particular and all other trusts in general for a con sideration. He does not object to the Senator doing the trusts a good turn whenever he can, but he is mad because the Senator allowed himself to get caught with the goods on. But it is a clear case of kettle calling pot black. Roosevelt prom ised to let Harriman, who is the head of the railro?d trust, help him write what he intended to say in his message about railroads if Harri man would raise $260,000 to buy up votes in New York. Harriman did it and paid the money over to the virtuous Roosevelt who no doubt used it where it did the most good. The only difference between Roose velt and Foraker is that 'Roosevelt was bought by the railroad trust and Foraker was bought by the Standard Oil Company. Bpth were exposed in their dealings with the trusts, and it is presumptious in Roosevelt to jump on Foraker. Graves an Echo of Hearst. There was a time when John Tern- j pie Graves ha.l the lespect cf the people of the South, but he is fast losing it. His association with one W. R. Hearst seems to have led him astray and made him careless with the tru:h. in a speech at St. Paul, Minn., Tuesday night he made him self an echo of Hearst by repeating Hearst's lie that Bryan is pandering to the gamblers of Wall Street, the Standard Oti company and preda tory wealth) Hearst knew this charge was a lie when he originated it and John TemDle Graves knew it was a lie when he repeated it. But poor little John Temple has to earn the wages that Hearst pays him, and it seems that he is willing to lie or do anything to please his master. The poor little fellow has degenerat ed into a complete tool of Hearst. The News and Courier says "there is a man in Charleston who can turn over his inkstand without spilling his profanity." May be he uses a safety ink stand. Hearst says he can't afford to bandy words with a man like Has kell. This is cowardly but it is th^. only way for Hearst to eecape being proven a liar by the man he slander ed. j It would be a case of dog eat dog should Foraker land Roosevelt lock horns over the Standard Oil ex posure. They are both tarred with the same stick. Foraker was bribed by the Standard Oil Company while Roosevelt was bribed by the railroad combine. Seed Oats for Sale. Appier;.
