' Bull Moose" Headquarters in Columbia
Active, But South Carolina
Remains Democratic.
Columbia, Oct. 10?Everybody knows
that Gov. Blease has been and is a
Democrat, but there have been persistent
rumors given circulation around
the State that the governor looked
with favor upon the "Bull Moose," and
a Columbia dispatch publishe-d in a
? Spartanburg paper quoted a supporter
of the governor in the recent primarj',

the effect that the governor, if he had j
not been declared the nominee for a j
second term by the State executive
committe, would have gone into the
general election on the Roosevelt tick
et. This, of course, is absurd on its
* face, because the govecnor all along
was contending that he was the nominee
of the Democratic party. But re- i
ports of various kinds will gain pub- i
licity, and Gov. Blease was asked by a i
representative of The Herald and |
News here last night in regard to i
these reports.
Gov. Blease said he had had the re

there was, as matter of fact, no foundation
for them, and, if he considered
it necessary, he would probably in the
next few days issue a statement reiterating
his well-known Democracy.

so long as present relations are borne
by national party organizations to the
race question in the South. In discussing
the matter, Gov. Blease said
nothing of the race question. He simply
stated there was no truth in any
of the reports insinuating sympathy
4 on his part with the "Bull Moose"
movement in South Carolina.

quarters here last night. Lest this fact
/ be misconstrued, it might be well to ;
state emphatically that The Herald

belong to the Democratic party, and
have no "Bull Moose" leanings. Mr.

headquarters, is a pleasant gentleman.
He was asked about the situav%
tion, and he dictated a statement bas- j
ed on the New York Herald's straw
balloting, t'ie statement by Mr. Dunn .
glowing with confidence in The Colonel's
chances. The Herald and News !
would like to print Mr. Dunn's state- j
ment in full, but I learn that lack of |
space will forbid. In regard to the '
situation in South Carolina, Mr. Dunn j
stated that every mail since the organization
of the party in this State
- -
last Friday has brought assurances j
from every part of South Carolina of
enthusiastic support, "and the fair and
V tolerant attiude of the entire State
- press towards this new party moveIW
ment indicates that it is net only welcomed
in the State, but that as soon
as the pledges and commitments that
have been made at the primary in the
present election have been fulfilled,
there will be a general turning
of prominent leaders throughout the j
. State to this new party. There is no !
doubt in the mind of any one attached :
to or associated with headquarters in '
B k Columbia but that the party has come j
to stay, that it' is hearti!'- we'eoim.-f? :

?f>- W. P. Beard, of Abbeville, who gain? ..<
ed considerable notoriety in the recent
r campaign, who is secretary at the
"Bull Moose" headquarters, was at his
post of duty He emphatically denied

the story started was that he said that
if it was necessary to go into a general
election, Gov. Blease would not
only have the support of Democrats,
* A x "Ll Afrvrvrin" nannlo
Dili mat tut; duu i\iuuot ^^would
support him in preference to
other candidates. However, the story
started, Beard says there isn't any
truth in it, and that he has written a
denial to the Spartanburg Journal, the
newspaper which published the Columbia
dispatch in question.
Mr. Beard said: '.'As my friends all
over the State are asking why I accepted
the position of State secretary
for the Progressive, or as it is popularly
called, the "Bull Moose" party, I
take this opportunity to state my position
on same. I could not afford to,
nor would I accept a like position
with the Republican party, because of
their affiliation, past and present, with
the negro, on equal terms. It is different
with this new white party, which
proposes to adapt itself to Southern
conditions, and I can see 110 reason
whatever why a white Southern Democrat,
if he approves of the platform
and principles of this new party
which has sprung into being in response
to the' crying needs- of the
times, should not join it in perfect
good faith and will. All who know
me and the strenuous fight I have
waged against radicalism and negroism,
as editor of the Ne-ws-Scimiter
and otherwise, and in the interest of
organized labor, will take this state
ment as a guarantee that there is absolutely
no affiliation whatever with
the. Republican party." j
The advent of the party into South
'Carolina is feared not at all by the
Democrats. The only noticeable defections
in this State of which the new
party has the benefit are from the Republican
or Taft ranks. South Carolina
is as solidly Democratic as she has
been since 1876, and as she will be as
long as present party organizations
'continue and bear the same relation
to the negro question as now.
The "Bull Moose" headquarters are
i
in Room 23 at the Columbia hotel. The
number of the room has called forth
a number of facetious remarks.
But che object of this story was to
say that Gov. Blease has no "Bull
Moose" leanings, and that the state- j
"ments and insinuations which are going
the rounds are in the nature of
pipe-dreams. The governor not only
has no "Bull Moose" leanings now, but
has had none. He has been and is,
as everybody knows, a Democrat.

NEW YORK AND BOSTON
BATTLE ON DIAMOND

NO>V IN PROGRESS.
Boston Americans Took First Game?
Second Game Resulted in Tie

The New York Nationals and the
Boston Americans, winners of the baseball
pennants in their respective leagues,
are playing a series of games to
decide the world's baseball champion- I
ship. The first game was won by Boston,
the second resulted in a tie.
The third game was played on
Thuisday afternoon.
The team first winning four games

In the third game on Thursday at-j
'ternoon the batteries were:

bewildering turned two Giant
natters DacK 10 tne Dencn on striK.es
.for the last two putouts and the Red
Sox carried off the honors.
When victory perched on the banners
of the Red Sox post, the Boston
delegation inarched across the field
and Mayor Fitzgerald of Boston, who
was a guest of Mayor Gaynor, led in
the cheers for the players of both
teams.
Gov. Foss, of Massachusetts, and
Gov. Tener, of Pennsylvania, saw the I
contest.
A Dramatic Finish.
Rarely, if ever, has any world's <
series game provided such a dramatic
finish. Two runs behind in the ninth, |
'the Giant supporters had given up!
hope. Hundreds were leaving the j
stands when Merkle sent a single |
whistling to the outfield, after one
man was out. Even then the chance
'of tying the score seemed remote, but
a Texas league;- by Herzog, followed
quickly by a hit by Myers which sent
Merkle home, put the stands in a
flamq of excitement.
With Giants on second and third,
"thousands stood in their seats and
yelled. Fletcher swung his bat nervously
at the plate, while Joe Wood,
white of face, seemed anxious. Tne
Red Sox twirler patted the grass,
hitched his belt, rubbed the ball, and
adjusted his cap. This delay seemed
"to unsettle Fletcher and he swung
'futilelv at Wood's fast breaking shoots
three times and went back to the
bench.
Craudall, a strong man in the
'pinches, came up. Wood put over two
strikes and then three balls. The Red
Sox twirler then shct over a high fast
shoot. Craudall missed and the game
was over.
Patfle of Wits.
It was a battle of .managerial wits
in the selection of pitchers. Manager
McGraw pinned his faith in Tesreau,
md th Ozaik bear hunter held the
Red Sox hit less until the sixth inning,
when Speaker's long triple broke the
ice. Tesreau weakened in the seventh
inning, and before the fusilade of
Boston hits was over three scores
were made and the Red Sox had a
lead of two runs.
Manager Stahl placed his star pitcher,
.Toe Wood, on the mound, and in

Second Game Ends in Tie.
Boston, Oct. 9.?The second contest
of the world's series between the Boston
Americans and the New York Nationals
today went eleven innings to
a tie score of 6 to 6. when darkness
put an end to the battle that kept 30(
> 1 n t tci's cii the r(ise hi" !: w?:i -s'
r
The contest will be plaved over to- i
morrow at Fenway Park here. <
With one victory registered for the 1
Red Sox, Manager McGraw sent out
his star twirler, Mathewson, to cap- 1
ture the second game for the Giants.
Mathewson had been rested for about \
two weeks to win the first game he 1
; twirled, but tonight the Red Sox still j <
were happy because of their one vie-! <
i
tory and no game lost with the dread- j 1
ed Mathewson worn out with a hard-1 I
pitched eleven-inning tie game. j J
Tris Speaker, the Red Sox centrefielder,
furnished the dramatic climax
in the contest, where fortune played
tickle favor with first one and then ^
the other team. i
[ The ninth inning found the Red Sox \
| anu the Giants locked in a tie score :
I of 5 to 5. The Red Sox left-hander.'
Collins, had been driven from the box 1
in the eighth inning by a shower of 1
hits and Hall had been sent to relieve !
j him. Merkle smashed out a three-bag
i ger in the tenth inning and the home
club post was in gloom when he scored '
i . i
on a sacrifice hit.
! In the fading light it was difficult | 1
for th? Red Sox to follow.the course of 1
Mathewson's big drop and Xew York '
felt confident. Yerkes had been turned (
back and the big crowd looked to j >
Speaker. The trio of Giant outer-gar-1
deners moved far afield. Mathewson j <
wound up and turned loose a faiit in- j 1
shcot. Speaker gave a wicked swing;*
and the ball was sailing far over j 1
Becker's head in centre. Speaker 1
rounded first, then second, and raced <
to third. The ball caromed to Shafer,
who momentarily juggled it. Speaker <
hesitated .at third, then sped for the
plate and slid under Catcher Wilson, <
who fumbled Shafer's relay k throw, j <
That tied the score and the crowd went j <
wild. To make sure that he had touch-1
ed the plate Speaker returned and j j
touched the plate a second time before j j
Wilson recovered the ball. j i
Hit JTathewson Hard. j <t
i The Bostons took the lead in the' <
i i
first inning and scored three runs by i <
| hitting Mathewson hard, but the j i
Giants, by peppering away at Collins's 11
delivery, picked up a run in the second i 1
and another in the fourth inning. Bos- i
I ton tallied another score in the fifth :
inning, but when Duffy Lewis dropped 1
Snodgrass's fly opening the eighth in- 1
ning New York started a batting rally 1
that caused Manager Stahl to hurry ;
Hall to Collins's relief. Three runs al- 1
ready were over the plate on an error, i
a single and two doubles. This gave j 1
New York a lead of one run. ! 1
J
The Giants held their lead but a '
i ,
moment, however, for the Red Sox at-. '
tacked Mathewson's drop curves sav- ^
agely, and aided by an error by j
Fletcher, the tieing run was sent over j 1
the plate. Then came the exciting, *
tenth with Merkle's hit and Speaker's 1
mighty smash.
Fletcher was broken-heartened to-1 *

Augusta, Ga., Oct. 9.?Tonight, a
dark spot adjoining the Schuetzen0
platz, a small crowd of men ran out
and boarded a car coming down from
^ Summerville. When they attempted to

Both the wounded men, strike- *
breakers, were picked up a passirt

Motorman Frank Kelly will die but

His Reason.
j A banker in central Kentucky was
in the habit cf wearing his hat a goad
deal during business hours as in
summer the flies used his bald plate '
for a parade ground, and in winter the
cold breezes swept over its polished
.! surface. A negro workman on tie
railroad each week presented a check
and drew his wag*:s, and one day as he
put his money in a greasy wallet,- tile
, banker said:
"Look here, Mose, why don't you let
6ome of that money stay in the bank
keep an account with us?"
The darky leaned toward 'him and
with a Quizzical look at the derby rh-3
banker wore, answered confidentially:

like you wus always ready to start
