"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: * |OI] 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. |until he reached the conclusion that I he would run for the senate, was ,v | openly antagonistic to President r;1 Wilson, and except to make such " * amends as he thought would get him a' [into office, he has not changed. Mr. 'Dial is not only loyal, patriotic and hi } I !a good Wilson Democrat, hut is a tv good citizen and successful business 11 ! man and will make a good senator. M t In his election, South Carolina up- th I holds the hands of President Wilson pi and sends a man to Washington who hi will assist in the operation of the li; war machinery, rather than clog the jo wheels. la j The next governor of South Cam- th 5 lina will he Robert A.
