THE SENATE RACE.
Two candidates have come out for
the office of senator from Lancaster
county?two good men, substantial
and energetic farmers and business
men. The News is so ignorant of
political conditions, however, that it
js unable to say, even as a prediction,
that either has the advantage over
the other, nor are we able to say
these and no more will aspire to the
office, which was recently made vacant
by the d* ath of Senator Hough.
The two candidates who have made
announcements, S. K. Bailes and J.
Roy Cunningham, are well known
throughout the county. They were
both candidates for the house in the
primaries of last August and made
vigoious campaigns. Whether their
positions on various public questions
will meet with the nnnroval of tlm
people of the county, we are unable
to say, for the reason that they have
not stated their posit'ms, lately, upon
the question of g< woman
suffrage, and others ..v- now
before the people. The News would
be glad if they would ure more of its
space in discussions of public questions,
at least to the point of explaining
their own po itions. so that the
leaders of the paper may know what
they may expect if they are voted for
and elected.
By the time the next legislature
meets, sentiment will have rrystalized
in favor of the state doing something
in the way of building and maintaining
state highways; it will he a very
important question, and the people of
South Carolina are not expecting the
next legislature to full down in the
passage of necessary legislation as
did the one of the present year. Lancaster
county's representatives should
he in the forefront when these matters
come up, and >hoic is no necessity
and no excuse for Lancaster
count} following the procession. Anybody
can follow, hut it takes a man
in isau. inis is me Kino 01 man wo
want in the senate and in the house.
Knowing the two candidates who
are out as The News knows them, we
would hate to seo theiu beat at anything
they go after, tint unless they
are "right" on the important public
questions which are now occupying
the mind - of the people, they should
not bt voted for.
The ratification of the woman suffrage
amendment to the federal constitution
is another of those questions.
As The N'ews has stated on
several occasions the amendment
will, doubtless, he ratified whether or
not the South Carolina legislature
ratifies it, but it is had policy to be
forever in the minority The old saying
that, "I would rather be right
than president." is good enough so
far as it reaches, hut it is entirely
possible to he both right and president.
The average man had much
rather be right, even though he loses
a fight, than to win on the wrong
side and against his convictions, but
in the matter of good roads and woman
suffrage, it is possible to be right
and favor both.
