WALKER W. VIGK APPOIHTED
New York Headquarters Ready Book
of Autographs Presented to Gov
ernor by Champ Clark
$500,000 From South.
Seagirt, N. J., July 2h Champ
Clark, Speaker of the House, led his
caravan of 'followers a tortuous way
along the dusty roads of Seagirt to
Ccvernor Wilson's Summer home here
today. They came, 116 strong, from
the House Of Representatives in a
special train from Washington to
shake hands with - the .' new nominee
and bid him good speed for the Presi
dency. It was 'the 'first time in the
history of the United States that Dem
ocrats or Republicans' in Cpngfleesi
had quit their- work to dash across
the country . and, hail the party stan
dard bearer.
Governor Wilson met them half way
down the walk stretching, away from
his front porch to the roadway, and
escorted Mr. Clark to the wide porch
and there completed the welcome by
grasping every : pilgrim by. the hand.
Mr. Clark had something to say and
he did not wait until the long line of
Representatives had filed by and had
its collective say, so he held up the
procession for a minute "-or two and
told the Governor that tbey had come
to tee him and wish' him: well In his
fight, and that they had brought along
their autographs:. In .a little book to
remind" him some, day that the Demo
cratic majority in the House had clos
ed uu office and traveled down to Sea
girt to get acquainted with the next
President. Would he please .tatce ui
The Governor .was quite confused
5or a momentTSaA'te looked butover
the crowd of Expectant faces on his
lawn and started to speak. The words
died awaybefdre .they reached his
lips, repressed ty the volume of a
hearty cheer. Presently the noise
ceased and the USovernor told them
that he would treasure the book as
greatly as he had. welcomed their
coming, and as long as they were here
he wanted to say that he hoped it was
just the beginning of a long acquain
tance. There were two knlds of ways for
a President to get along with the
House of Representatives, the Govern
or said. Onewas not to keep in close
and intimate touch with its members,
but to be concerned in its delibera
tions only. That .would not be his
way, if he had the chance. He greet
ed them today as-his .partners and
comrades in a solemn .-.duty -which they
owed to thej fAmercan people.
After theGovernor ceased speaking
and Mrs. Wilson had come out on the
porch to take her. place beside him,
the long line filed past, shaking hands
with them both. Representatives
Hughes, of New Jersey, was selected
to introduce bis -. colleagues to the
Governor. Speaker Clark stayed and
chatted for a quarter of an hour, or
niore with the, Governor.
After a photographer had grouped
them all about the lawn with the Gov
ernor and the Speaker in the. center.
They separated into knots. Twenty-five
r 30 went over' to Asbury Park by au
tomobile and trolley A delegation of
inland members 'treated themselves to
a sight of thfr Atlantic ocean, a mile
away from the Governor's cottage, and
some went invth 8urf.
The Governor sat bareheaded in . a
rocker on his . lawn with Representa
tive Hardwick. of Georgia, and Henry,
f Texas, on either hand.
" We folks d6wn South," Mr. Hard
wick told the Governor, "are for you,
but we feel that we are sort of out of
i he reckoning. So some of us talked
it over on the train coming up and
we've decided to go back home and
raise half a million dollars for you
;iud give it to your campaign manager
io spend it where-it is needed."
After Mr. Harflwick told reporters
that he -and his .friends planned yto
aise the money by going to all the
'litors of country-newspapers in their
Hstricts and getting, them to start a
;impaign fund through poi-ular sub
scription. They thought this scheme
houid add at least lialf a million dol
lars to the fund. It might be even
more.
Representative Gregg, -of Pennsyl
vania, interrupted to , say that", Penn
sylvania was going for : Wilson 'in No-
lumber. Representative Wilson, from
the same State, added there was no
doubt of it because of the Governor's
popularity thaee and because of the

STEEL TRUST INQUIRY.
Republican - Members of Committee

Washington, July 20. The Republi
can members of the Stanley Steel
Trust mveatigatinK Committee worked
itodon1 reportt their views of the
results of the steel Inquiry, and wnen
It Is submitted to the House it will
create more of a sensation than that
prepared by Chairman Stanley.
This assertion was made Dy a mem
ber of the committee today. He said
the Republican recommendations
would be more far-reaching than those
made-by the Democrats and that the
bills to be suggested . to, the House
would be for constructive legislation
to amend the trust laws rather than
censure of the officials who failed to
curb the growth of the steel trust.
Tbe Renublicans will And mucn to
praise in the Stanley report, but will
differ with Its conclusions.
The flndines of the Stanley faction
of the committee will not be accepted
by the Republicans, but some or tne
legislation proposed in the Stanley re
port will be indorsed. Representative
Gardner, of Massachusetts, will resist
the suggestion of Chairman Stanley
that the reports and data gathered by
the -Commissioner of Corporations be
made available to Congress. He fears
if the law is changed the Bureau of
Corporations will be unable to get in
formation in the iuture.
. TtnrRentative Gardner will stand
by .Representative Stanley on the bill
amending the Sherman aci . ay put

Yesterday-
Jackson, Miss., July 20. Michigan
Progressives divorced themselves ab
solutely from the Republican party in
their State convention here today.
By almost a unanimous vote the del
egates went on recoril as favoring the
placing of ari entire ticket, both State
and National in .theeld. A few in
structed delegates voted against the
move in order to record the sentiment
of their home counties but explained
to the convention that they personal
ly were for separation from the old
party. ' " f
Delegates to the National Progres
sive party convention in -Chicago,
Presidential Iectorsf : members of the
State Central Committee and a mem
ber of the National Committee were
chosen today. t

not mean nomination by the; conven
tion, however; : By the provisions ol
the Michigan-primary law, any man
can file a petition for any nomination
on the Progressive tkekt if he has q
sumcient numoer or names.
The coming of Senator Joseph M.
Dixon to the convention probably had
as much to do with carrying the "full
ticket" plan as anything. The factions
for a "stub" ticket or the nomination
of Presidential electors only, and the
"full ticket" crowd were lined up" for
a bitter fight when jbe arrived. But
he told them that Cjblonel Roosevelt
wanted a full State .ticket nd after
that it was air over but the .shouting.
The shouting; however, required much
time for the convention wa&as enthus

BY BLEASE
Palmetto Governor Says Feld-
er and Burns Charges are
Fabrications.
A SIW-PAGE STATEMENT
Allegations Are Taken Up Serially
and Affidavits Are Submitted.
Charleston End of the Sto
ry As to Pardons.
Columbia, S. C, July 20. Governor
Cole Blease today issued his promised
statement refuting the charges
brought against him by Thomas B.
Felder, of Georgia, and W. G. Burns,
the detective. Including! copies of af
fidavits, the statement makes about
60 pages of typewritten manuscript.
Each and every charge of rumor is tak
en up separately and answered by the
Governor. N '
Blease says Felder erred wnen he
says he went to Charleston" between
the two primaries in 1910 to get mon
ey from the "tigers" for his (Blease's)
campaign expenses. He says the state
ment that he is getting graft from the
Charleston blind tigers originslted with
Mayor Grace, of this city, owing to the
Governor's refusal to allow Grace to
control the constabulary there.
The Governor denies that hq receiv
ed any money for his signature in the
Interurban Railway Act or that he
knew of any plans to buy a pardon for
Gils DeFord or anyone else, and says
that not one word about it had been
said to him by Nicholls.
As to the pardon of F. W. Bentley,
the Governor denies that he received
pay for its issuance. He says a check
for $25 was sent him for the payment
of Bentley's railroad fare to his home
in Iowa, but that no other, money fig
ured in the transaction.
The Governor mentions persons from
whom petitions were received request
ing pardons, one ot whom, was the'
Rev. Dr. W. A. C. Mueller, a Lutheran
castor, ef Charleston. - He says the ac
cusation ' made- by-1 Felder; that'$2,oW
had been paid by Rabens for his free
dom was a wilful falsehood and he
submits affidavits from Rabens and Dr
Mueller purporting to deny this
charge.
He presents an affidavit from H. H
Evans to the effect that he has never
had any transactions with Blease as
to dispensary affairs or that he and
Blease were ever in Atlanta together
nor has he ever had money paid to
him by any party for Goverrior Blease
Governor Blease also presented am
davits from a dozen persons that he
was not concerned in any liquor or
other corrupt transactions.
As to the famous "T. B." letters, or
which Felder has denied authorship,
the Governor said that he had submit
ted the letters to several gentlemen
of Columbia who are familiar with the
handwriting of Felder, and that these
gentlemen are willing to go on the
stand and swear that the letters were
written by T. B. Felder. Persons in
the State cf Georgia, who are also fa
miliar with the handwriting of Felder,
had made the same assertions.
"I have also two letters written by
Felder one from England 'and one
frnm a noint in the United States to
a woman and the writing of these let
ters compared with those of the 'T. B.'
letters, shows that the letters I hold
were written by Felder.'
In conclusion, the Governor says
that he has endeavored toanswer eve
ry charge made against him, but if
any honest man in South Carolina de
sires any information regarding any
thing, however small, regarding any
alleged dishonorable act, he is willing
to answer the accusation.
