THK AUSTRALIAN BALLOT.
"We don't know," says the Char
leston News and Courier, "what th
poeple of South Carolina generall
will think of the Australian ballo
*' system, which was used in all incor
^ - pointed places in the state yesterday
tVe do know that in Charleston th
-*r ~ * benefits which have been secure*
through the employment of this'sys
' tem and Its impartial enforcemen
have been nothing short of amaz
i Ing." v
The News anticipates like satis
faction in all places where the Aus
tralian ballot systom Is employed
Everywhere, in fact, that the systen
has been tried It has proven satis
factory and an important safeguard
Against corruption and misuse of th#
election machinery. In Lnncastei
Tuesday It "worked like a clock.'
There was no confuaion, and the
voting was done with more precision
and careful mark lag of tho ticket^
'
, than under the old systom. The she
* wonder is that the legislature con-: pei
fined its operations to the incorporat- sta
,ed towns and cities, succeeding ses-jCo
8ions of the law-making body, how- coi
ever, will have the opportunity of wii
making the system general through- ga
" i
out the state.
_ j The News and Courier likes the set
s sy.-tem because of the avoidance of bel
J rowdyism and corruption. It says: i l*e
"The contrast between elections now da
and elections before this system was Mr
inaUKUniteu is me comraui ueiween < m
civilization and anarchy, between the th
turbulance of a ray frontier town, He
dominated by rowdyism, and the sh
peace and quiet of a settled and well he
Ordered city. Of course the fact that be
liquor is gone helps a great deal, but of
tfie Australian ballot system has de- Oc
monstrated its virtues and it is un- qu
thinkable that in Charleston we jSe
shall ever go back to the head-1
^ breaking days when corruption and w<
vote-buying and bulldozing were w
rampant." hi:

THE ELECTION" KESIT/TS.
The election of Nat ii. Dial, of
Laurens, as United States senator is *
f an expression of loyalty to tin- Wil- tw
son administration on the part of the "
s people of South Carolina. Viewing
the situation from this angle is no
24
disparagement of the qualilications
,f of Mr. Dial, but the result of the
primary cannot he looked upon in s'
any other way than a repudiation of ov
a HI ease and Hleaseisui. Mr. Blease.

he would run for the senate, was ,v
