We make only one prediction as to the election next Tuesday, viz., that the vote is going to be close and the result is going to depend on the numin ber who turn out. to vote, 0 0 0 The Advertiser is not venturing any predictions as to who will be electled next 'Iuesday, but if our friends give us the same loyal assistance that they gave us last Tuesday night we will know what Laurens county docs very soon after the polls close. We will have returns, an usual, from all over the state and all of our friends are invited to watch the bulletin boards. This year The Advertiser has been given considerable financial sup Port In getting returns and the con tributors to the fund are due our and the publie's thanks. 0 * 0 The election next Teusday is to de Cide whether the people of this state want an adnlistlrat ]on such as we have a right to believe Gov. Mantinlug of Ex-(ov. lilease will give ts. While we have a decided oplnion ourselves as to which will be to the best inter Cst of the state, we (10 not lose sight of the fact. that the majority rules in this Democratic country of ours and if the election does not go as we would like it to, we will abide by the result with good grace. We are not going into a discussion of the policies of the two mien, as it is very likely that very few m(inds will ie changed bet ween now and when the polls are opened. Yet, we cannot refrain from pointing iut that (litring Gov. Manning's ad minlistration the laws of the state have been enforced more thoroughly than they have during any of the imme (iately preceding administrations, while duitring the administrations of ExGov. Blease there was a noted lax ity in tlie enforcement of the laws, partuleilarly as to blind tigers, gati bling. horse-racing, etc. Now, the (ihiestion to be decided primarily next Tuesday is,. which of the two adminis trations Is going to receive our enl (orseient ? Think about this inl cast ing youIr ballot. Also think about It when conisiderinig staying awvay fromn the piolls. HlELD) NEXT TIEIDIY I('otinu tted fromi Page One.)
