I'ntil that is done, all other me things arc of little consequence. In our own state we have political ( gilts now going oj). hut which are "'m attracting only a mild ripple of ex- -?t citement. The senatorial fight, from (|et our point of observance, promises ph; the least of interest: the people are <,u not in a mood for listening at poma litical stump speeches and the can- (.jp didates who are going about ove the ;? state making speeches from day to abr day are, as we see it. merely wasting Klf time. Senator Tillman linds much to do at his post of duty in Wash- n) ) ington. too much, in fact, to leave undone that he may come to South r,.r Carolina and tell his constituent0 what he hopes to do T re-elected. The candidates for governor an.l pen other state ollices are a -o to ring tin p|i> state. They come to Lancaster m-v tj,,. month. There are so many ol tliein i,,;, The News does not re< ill tin- actual rj p number?eight, we believe, who seek the the post of chief executive, and sev- pp\ tral iispirants for other minor state offices. For no other reason than to show the accustomed hospitality of Lancaster people, we hope they have a better meeting than was accorded c the senatorial candidates here last Friday. We do not foresee, how- cer ever, that more interest will he nianl- Par fest, because the peop'e hereabout;* nas are thinking and talking nothing bu? COI1 war, war. war; War Savings stamp-*. <on men and munitions, and have no gov time to give to politiral or personal ambitions of individual candi-date.-,. sill What is true here ma\ or ntav , I .at not he true in other parts of the ,.in state, but from the reports at hand ver ol the meetings already held, the * sentiment seems to he general '' ?i throughout the state. i: ?* i t)f course, it is necessary to eler' ftia some officers but it should be done *or> f ?I with as little petty bickering and i><>- ' Htical wire pulling as possible. It is of little concern to the people who ;.t, it- elected and until the war s wo- Iln and adjustments have been made v'r little interest will be taken in th?

The Charlotte <,ffi Observer says "of course, it would be So better for t^e newspapers of the country to be helping the people win vei the war than to be discussing the | probabilities of a third term for Wil- <v< son, but there is no harm in saying e't! that the war Is a powerful factor in '"r the breaking of precedents, and " ' fea about the most unprofitable occupa- |na tlon the politicians could Indulge in p|a * qp (' *- -c' r\ IF- - n L t y THE LANCASTER NEWS, LANCASTE he present moment is that of Bill's seaip back eking out probable or possible withstanding the I iccessors to Wood row Wilson.
