WHAT THE NEW YORK SUN HAS
TO SAY ABOUT HIM.

REPLIES TO A LETTER
From Captain W. K. Gonzales, Editor
of the Columbia State, And Shows
'Very Plainly That It Prefers
Roosevelt to a Democrat Who Will
Make the Trusts Behave.
#
Under the caption of "To a Pal anetto
Enthusiast," the New York
Bun, which is owned and edited by
Republicans, and Is one of the chief
big business and trust organs of the
country, publishes the following:
To a Palmetto Enthusiast.
Wo have a very high regard for the
ability and integrity of the distinguished
journalist who writes this
letter, but the subject of it long ago
Tan away with his Judgment, leaving
a fervid, and almost passionate enthusiasm
in its place:
"To tho Editor of the Sun?Sir:
The day following that on which Colonel
Roosevelt sailed his hat Into tho
ring, I was in Now York. Perhaps
one man in 500 of those mot there
regarded his effort for the nomination
within bounds of reason. This
morning I talkod with a friend Just
returned from New York; he was
'thunderstruck at the result in New
Jersey. For ten days he had been
thrown with New Yorkers in ofllces
and in clubs and had spoken to but
one Roosevelt advocate. New Yorkers
of the class my friend met are
disposed to think any one can beat
T?r?r>sr>vplt wlinm tho Democrats nom
dnaie, but their Judgment la founded
?r> their personal desire.
"Whether Colonel Roosvelt Is the
next President depends upon the action
of the Democrats at Baltimore.
New York business men with large
Interests have been Instrumental In
boosting several Democratic aspirants
with the object of weakening
Woodrow Wilson. The work was
well done; but for their Interest Wilson
would have gone to Baltimore secure
of 600 delegates on the first ballot.
But did they count upon Roosevelt's
being a Presidential candidate?
I "Do New Yorkers have a defined
hope that the easy going, colorless,
old fashioned politician Champ Clark
can prevail against the magnetism
and whirlwind methods of Roosevelt (
---Champ Clark, conspicuously championed
by William R. Hearst? Or
that the quiet Underwood of Alabama,
bitterly antogonized by Bryan
and earnestly supported by the Populist
Tom Watson, and with no personal
following outside the States
touching Alabama, can outpoint
Roosevelt before the people who have
the votes In the doubtful States? Or
that Governor Harmon, nearing his
B'xty-elghth year, who has demonsi
rated no strength outside of Ohio,
and not a great deal in Ohio, is capable
of tackling the man who has just
run Taft off his feet?
"Business men who have fought
Woodrow Wilson for seven months
would be wise In quickly realizing
that they are confronted by a condition,
not a theory, and In coming to
a decision whether they prefer Roosevelt
as President for an Indefinite
time, or Wilson for the prescribed
term.
"Woodrow Wilson Is the one Democrat
feared as an opponent by Thcodoro
Roosevelt's supporters; they are
good judges.
"William E. Gonzales.
a "Columbia, S. C., May 29."
' We need not consider the views of
Mr. Gonzales as to other Democratic
candidates than the god of his idolatry
or his entertaining theory or assumption
that but for the pernicious ;
activity of New York business men
our loyal and sympathetic friend in
Now Jersey "would have gone to Raltlmoro
secure of six hundred delegates
on the first ballot." Mr. Gonzales
seems to admit that the business
mm of the East are opposed to
Governor Wilson; and the purpose of
his letter is to warn, exhort and command
them to swallow Wilson or bo
prepared to swallow Roosevelt.
A bitter choice, must like choosing
between apoplexy and paralysis. If
such an election had to be made by
business men, wo are afraid there Is
small doubt that they would prefer
tliq Colonel, dangerous as ho is.
.Governor Wilson has disclosed poten'ialities,
veleit.Ies and instances
or moral dishonesty, of faithlessness
to friends, of elastic "principles," of
catering (though vainly) to the mob,
an easy public virtue, so to speak,
that has disappointed the hopes of
many and stirred the distrust of
more. He has not attended to his
business as Governor. He has not
been fortunate in his relations with
legislators. In all his restless pil- !
primages of ambition he has shown
himself a doctrinaire, willing to shift :
his opinions, essentially a lecturer, i
not a statesman, fit for Chautauqua i
rather than the White House, the i
college don trying to throw off his 1
ancient stiffness, not a man of the 1
world, not chastened by its rude con- i
tacts, a bookish alien In politics, with 1
little actual experience of the trade 1
he is seeking to practice, with noli
A SUBMARINE SINKS
?
"VENDEMIAIRE" RISES AFOUL
OF BATTLESHIP'S PROW.
Twenty-Six IJves Lost in the Sixth
Recent I)imisters to French Submarine
Boats.
During the practice maneuvers of
the French fleet at seven o'clock Friday
morning the battleship Saint
Louis collided with the submarine
Vendemiairo. The smaller craft immediately
disappeared and is believed
to have been cut In two and to
havo carried to their death the crew
of 2 6 men. The accident occurred
between Aurigny Alderney, where violent
tidal currents prevail. The bat- 1
tleship was steaming along slowly
when the submarine appeared right {
under the bows of the warship. There
was no time to avoid a collision.
The stem f the Saint Louis struck {
the - submarine with terrific force, '
driving the little craft below the surface.
The engines of the warship had
been quickly reversed, but when she '
was brought to a stop the submarine
had disappeared and only a thrashing 1
of the wator showed whore the under- 1
the-surface figh'ter had gone down. <
The Vendemiairo was commanded
by Lieutenant Prioul, a young ensign, <
and had a crow of 25 men. She was J
launched July 7, 1910, and was the 1
ninth vessel of the Pluvioso type add- J
ed to the French navy. She was 167
feet length, with a beam of 16
feet.
Admiral Kisel, maritime prefect of
Cherbourg, hurried to the scene on
board the destroyer Catapult*.*, accompanied
by dispatch ooats and tugs
and barges provided witn complete
salvage apparatus. Word was received
there that tho minister of
marine, M. Delcasse, left Friday
morning for Cherbourg.
This latest loss to the French ncvy
has caused groat distress, not only
throughout the service, but among
the public generally, which has been
made so frequently to mourn naval
disasters. No other navy has been
so unfortunate in the matter of submarines.
The Vendemiaire is the sixth craft
of this typo to be lost by the French.
There was a glimmer of hope Friday
afternoon that some of tho Vendemialre's
crew might survive, but
owing to tho depth of the water in
which she sank?2 5 fathoms?the
general feeling is pessimistic. Tho
wrecking vessels reached tho scene
and preparations were made for an effort
by divers to reach tho submarlno
and attach chains to tho rings In her
hull with the purpose of raising her.
Tho maneuvers were those of tho
third squadron, Tho submarines of
the Cherbourg station had received
orders to attack the warships and It
was during one of these attacks that "

MANSLAUGHTER FOR SEIGLER.
Aiken Man Convicted of Killing a

"Guilty of manslaughter" was the
verdict returned Saturday afternoon
of the jury sitting on tho caso of Jas.
G. Soigler at Aiken, charged with
murder, last fall, of Policeman Wado
Patterson, in that city.
Tho defendant was stunned by tho
verdict, for as it was road his facr*

stated on good authority that the
prisoner and his counsel expected an
acquittal or mistrial, the latter being

BACK AT THE SUN
CAPTAIN GONZALES REPLIES TO
NEW YORK PARER'S
VERY WEAK ARGUMENT
Ho Proves Conclusively that Roosevelt's
Strongest nn<l Ablest Newspaper
Supinators Regard AVilson
as His Strongest Democratic Opponent
Should Ho Bo Nominated
by the Democrats.
Under the caption of "Mirage",
Capt. Gonzales replies to the New
York Sun's article which is published
an this page. Read both articles and
you will see that Captain Gonzales
conclusively answers the 8un. Here
Is his answer:
Mlrago.
In Its comments upon Mr. Gonzales'
letter, the New York Sun, than
which exists no greater adopt in brilliant
disregard of the obstacles of actualities,
states its case against Govsrnor
Wilson. Suffice to say that Mr.
raft is the onj of the seven announcid
candidates whom The Sun prefers
for President, that it has announced
io favorite for the Democratic nornnation,
that Its opposition to Wilson
jegan long before Mr. Roosevelt be
:amo a candidate, and. that The Sun
s now apparently In doubt whether it
8 better for "Business" to take Tedly
with a prospect of breaking him to
lull true with "Our Interests" in
loublo harness, or to take Wilson, "a
lookish alien in politics," who 1b certain
not to say, in converse with a
nagnate of Wall street, "You and I
ire practical men." But it inclines to
ako the former horn.
Says The Sun: "Wo need not consider
the views of 'Mr. Gonzales as
0 the other Democratic candidates
han the god of his idolatry or his
ntertaining theory or assumption
hat but for the pernicious activity of
*Jew York business men our loyal and
sympathetic friend In New Jersey
would have gone to Baltimore secure
if six hundred delegates on the first
lallot.' " It would be mighty refreshng
if the brilliant Sun would bo
loldly frank and tell us if the "enterainlng
tneory or assumption" of Mr.
Gonzales that New Yorkers furnished
1 fund for the purpose of fighting
iVIIson's nomination, is true? The
Sun was "on the inside" when the
larvey-MacVeagh-Watterson-Tyler et
il movement against Wilson was Iniiuguarated
in the early winter. None
if them has regarded It needful to
liscuss the matter or methods of the
'ormation in financial circle?a va
lation of the British "hollow square"
?for protection. In deed we, having
50tiie inside Information ourselves,
nave been unable to goad these genlemen
conspirators into mentioning
.he subject.
Again we quote The Sun:
"According to Mr. Gonzales, Governor
Wilson is 'the one Democrat
'eared by Roosevelt's supporters,
rhls Is what the partisans of every
)ther Democratic candidate will say
their favorite. Said of Governor
Wilson, it is deliciously absurd, if Mr.
3onzales will forgive the phrase."
Forgiven before the ink was dry,
,ve feel sure, but we prefer evidence
o the charmingly expressed disregard
of facts. The Sun will probably
ioncedo that the two most conspicu>us
journalistic supporters of Colonel
Roosevelt are Collier's Weekly and
he Philadelphia North American.
Collier's has said it would bo a pity
o name Clark against Roosevelt because
the Colonel loves a fight and
vould bo painfully bored by the inacion
of a campaign with the placid
Movlr r\C nld viinrl r>r\ 1 i 11P n 1
J J tl I rv \J V. cut" v/l\* Wv\,? CV/? J [/WV4 |'V'i.vivi?i
chool; Collier's regards Wilson as
ho strongest Democrat named.
Hear the North American of last
"rid ay:
"Our support will bo given wholcirnrtedly
to Theodore Hooscvelt. Hut
lir Democratic and independent
eaders will believe us when wo say
fiat there is nothing that we wish
iiore than the nomination of Woodow
Wilson as well as Theodore
toosevelt. ITc is the Democrat who
rould he Hoosevelt's most dangerous
pponent; the one man whose name
;ill he put forward at Haltimore who
ould remove the election of Heoseelt
from the category of absolute
rrtainties."
The Sun's next door neighbor, The '>
irorld, says Mr. Wilson is the one
lemocrat to carry New York, New
ersey and Connecticut against Thoo- 1
ore Kooseveit. i no ravening t oml
f New York, Independent; and the
pringfield, Massachusetts, Republian,
have similar views.
Are thoy or either of them "igorantly
worshipping" ?Mr. Wilson? <
) It really "deliciously absurd" that <
oosevelt's supporters regard Wilson 1
b tho strongest Democrat that can (
e brought against him? They tes- 1
fy that they do; what has The Sun <
> submit to the contrary? And if i
he Sun should intorview the first t
fty supporters of Roosevelt found i
i New York it would have further j
vidence along that line. 1
Our contemporary's assertion that
oosevelt would carry New Jersey
gainst Wilson, is an assertion not i
icrely lacking support but disproved t
THE PARCEL POST
HITCHCOCK SAYS IT WILL PASS
DURING PRESENT SESSION.
?,
Ihrovldes Weight Limit of Eleven
Pounds, Service to bo on Both
Rural and City Routes.
Legislation providing for a general
parcels post throughout the
United States and its possessions,
except tho Phlllipine islands, is
practically certain to bo enacted by
tho present congress, perhaps before
the conclusion of tho session
now in progress, is the opinion of
the postmaster general, F. H. Hitchcock.
lie has urged Incessantly upon
Congress the desirability of domestic
parcels post, because, among
othor reasons, he believes it will aid
substantially in the solution of the
problem of the high cost of living.
In a statement Saturday he expressed
the hope that tho measure recently
introduced by Senator
Bourne, chairman of the committeo
on postofflces and postroads,
might bo crystalized into law.
In tho judgment of the officers of
tho postal service the Bourne bill
represents the most scientific and
business-like plan yet devised for a
parcels cost. It provides for a parr
eels service throughout tho country,
both on rural routes and city
carrier routes. It consolidates the
third and fourth class of mail matter?a
reform long advocated by tho
postofflce department?and raises
tho weight limit of parcels to 11
pounds, which is the limit of tho International
post. The rate to be
charged for articles carried In the
rural route service and city carrier
is five cents for the first fraction of
a pound, and 1 cent for each additional
pound or fraction of a pound.
For tho general parcels post service,
which covers all mall transportation
other than local by rural
and city carriers, graduated rates
would be established, based on distance.
Six zones of distance would be established.
The first would have a
radical difference of 5 0 miles from
the point of mailing; the second
would include the area lying between
50 and 200 miles; the third
that between 200 and 500 miles;
tho fourth that between 500 and
1,000 miles; the fifth that between
1,000 and 2,000 miles, and the
sixth distances beyond 2,000 miles.
Tho rate for delivery within the
first zone Is 6 cents for the first
pound or fraction of a pound, and 2
cents for each additional pound or
fraction of a pound. The rates
would Increase for each additional
zone, nntll in the sixth, they reach

the rate now charged In the International
parcels post. The rate on
the consolidated third and fourth
class mall matter Is fixed at 1 cent

ounces. Distinctive parcels post
post stamps will be provided.
MORE POPULAR IN RIG CITIES.
Nearly Half of Postal Savings Deposits
in Thiry-thrce Offices.
Statements made public by Postmaster
General Hitchcock show that
$7,0.15,545, or a triflle more than
j two-fifths of the postal savings deposits
in the country have been In
thirty-three cities having a population
of 1 5 0,000 or more each.

first and second in population, occupy
the 'same rank in postal deposits.

COMMUTE THROWS OUT ROOSEVELTS
CONTESTS.
STEAM ROLLER IS BUSY
Delegates from Alabama, Arkansas,
Florida and Georgia Given to Taft ,
by Action of Republican National {
Committee Which is in Session at (
Cliicago. j
Twenty-four delegates from Alaba- 1
ma and Arkansas were added Friday 1
to tko Taft column by the action of j
the Republican national committee on
die so-called Roosevelt contests from
other States. All contests presented 1
before tko committee, which meeting (
in Chicago, were decided in Taft's ,
favor and in all but two the decision
of the committee was unanimous.
On roll call test, apparent had ,
shown fourteen anti-Taft votes. (
The cases decided Friday were
those of the six delegates at large and
the two each in the First, Second, (
Fifth, Sixth, and Ninth congressional ^
districts in Alabama, and the four
delegates at largo and the two each
in the First and Second districts of
Arkansas.
In view of the bitter fight between
the Taft and Roosevelt advocates, the
meeting was surprisingly peaceful,
although it opened with a contest
which seemed to forecast a degree of
friction. This, however, failed to materialize.
The opening contest arose
over a renewal by Senator Borah of
Idaho of his motion of Thursday,
which would permit only eight memKnra

roll call Instead of twenty, as provided
by the existing rules.
It was made plain very soon after
this that oven though Mr. Borah's
motion had boon tabled the majority
intended to give the minority a roll
call on demand on any question.
Messrs. Penrose and Crane and
others of the Taft faction repeatedly (
Joined Borah and his colleagues in
the minority in asking for a roll call,
and they always got it. \
The test vote came in the case of
the Ninth Alabama district, in which
the Taft delegates were seated by a
vote of 3 8 to 15. These 15 were:
Knight of California, DuPo-nt of Del- 1
aware, Borah of Idaho, Louden of
Illinois, Burnkam of Kentucky,
Wight of Louisiana (whose vote was
cast by E. W. Thilberger), Kellogg of t
Minnesota, Rosewater of Nebraska,
Flannagon of Nevada( whose proxy c
was held at that timo by Lucius N. J
Littauer), Ward of New York, Capers
of South Carolina, Thorson of South c
Dakota, Monday of Tennessee, Loose 1

were turned into tho Taft column *
Saturday by the national committee's N

sides agreeing to their being 0
decided upon the samo arguments as *
had served in the case of the four f
delegates at largo, which had just s

apiece, soon went the samo way. c

FIVE PERISH IN PIT
IN EFFORTS TO RESCUE EACH

?
Each Victim, Standing on the Edge
Attempting to Grasp Outstretched
Hands, Is Overcome.
Five persons perished within a few
moments In a grain well at the dairy
of Mr. Anna Espleage, Sr., near Cincinnati,
O., last week, four of the
victims forfeiting their lives in successive
efforts to save those who had
fallen in before them. The well
lad been abandoned until last week,
Alien Jacob Sachs, who is interested
n the dairy, cleaned it and used it
is a silo for malt waste, purchased
!rom breweries and uses as food for
cattlo.
Saclis collapsed when he went down
'or fodder. His condition was discovered
by Mrs. Anna Espleage, Jr.,
who called her brother, Joseph Nictioff.
The ground around the silo
was strewn with malt and was slippery.
Nichoff reached down in tho
alio until his hands touched the body
of Sachs, who had ceased to breathe.
He then slipped and fell.
His sister heard Ills cry and rushed
to his aid. She reached down to
;rasp his outstretched hands, but slipped
and fell. She screamed once and
then again tho pit was In silence of
death. Mrs. Gottlieb, a washerwoman
at the house, was the next victim.
Like the rest she was overcome
with fumes rising from the silo, and
died a painless death.
A square away Robert Atkinson
was driving a wagon. Ho heard frantic
shrieks and drove to the scene.
Ho pushed his way through tho group
and leaned over the pit, and Instantly
went tho way of the rest.
Miss Bertha Boehnleln then procured
a ladder, nlaced It over the well.
and attempted to pull several of the
victims from the pit of death by their
oustrecthed hand. But they slipped
from her grasp. She was pulled from
the ladder when she became numb
from the flimes. A flre company
came in answer to an alarm. Haxry
Esternian, a fireman was let down
Into the well, and was overcome by
the gases. Ho was taken to a hos?
>ital in serious condition. The bodies
K'ere recovered with grappling hooks.
