SENATORIAL RACE 1
BEINGJWSED
Voter* Are Wondering Who Will
Doff Hats in Ring Even If Liquor
Question Is To Fore.
Notwithstanding the fact that the
liquor question has the right of way
in all political discussions these days,
the Senatorial race in. 1918 still gets
' in on the main line occasionally and
predictions are made as to what will
happen in this free-for-all next year.
Already quite a number of avowed
and probable, Senator Tillman being
in the latter class, are "being prominently
mentioned."
The Laurens Advertiser, published
in a town that furnished a candidate
in 1912 who will be in the race again,
editorializes on the question
quite interestingly.
The Advertiser's editorial follows:
The statement from Congressman
?w Hia loot fauna of
ttagsaaie, uincu m u>v
The Advertiser, in which he declared
his allegiance to Sea. Tillman in case
the latter becomes a candidate for reelection,
has aroused much speculation
as to probable candidates in the
race. Congressman A F. Lever, who
is often spoken of In connection with
the senatorial toga, may not run in
case the senior senator is in the race.
W. P. Pollock, of Cheraw, who with
"Lang" Jennings made things rather
warm during? the senatorial campaign
of 1914, is priming his feathers for
another race and is expected to be in
? the race next year regardess of who
enters., Close friends of Jennings
say that he will not be in the race.
Col. W. Jasper Tolbert, of Parksville
has said that he will enter the race
if Tillman does and promises to make.
* " M R
ic an mieresuug suw. ?*.
Dial, of this city, announced some
time ago that he Intends to be In the
race and it Is a well known fact that
Mr. Dial doesn't change his mind often.
There are other aspiring patriots
who would doubtess throw their
hats in the ring were it certain that
they would not have Tillman to contend
with, but so far they are keeping
quiet Thq statement of Mr. Ragsdale
In many quarters is taken as a
"feeler" thrown out in the interest
of the senior senator and if the senator
allows his name to be placed in
the hat it appears that he will be opposed
then by Dial. Pollock, and Tolbert,
if not others. With them in
the race the senator will not have
an easy thing of it by any means.
All of these men already have strong
followings and are able campaigners.
Mr. Dial has had less political experience
probably than any of them
* Mo inat rare he made a strong
impression with his business platform
and he will doubtless increase
his vote . materially this year. At
least, he is the only man so far announced
who is from theh real Piedmont
section and that is a strong factor
in all of bur races. It is some
time yet before the campaign opens
and much may happen in that time,
but it may very certainly be said
that the race will not be won by default.?Greenwood

SWEDEN CONSIDERS
ENTERING CONFiXT
Appropriation of Ten Million Kroner*
Has Been Voted for Military
Purpose*.
London, Feb. 25.?-In the debate
in the Swedish parliament yesterday
as reported in an Exchange Telegraph
dispatch from Copenhagen,
the foreign minister, K. A. Wallenberg,
declared that something has
happened in the last few days which
makes it necessary for Sweden to
take sterner measures to safeguard
her neutrality. This declaration,
which has made a deep impression
in Sweden, was elicited by the refusal
of the second chamber to vote
for an appropriation of thirty million
kroner for military purposes.
The first chamber passed tne meas
ure, but when it reached the second
chamber 104 votes were cast against
it, and in favor of an appropriation
of 10,000,000 kroner. Unless gome
change occurs in the situation the
amount will remain at 10,000,000
kroner.
Vigorous efforts were made by
the government to obtain the larger
amount, Premier Hammarskjold,
and the ministers of war, finance
and foreign affairs taking part in
the debate. ,
In sounding his warning, the foreign
ministers said the opposition
would soon be compelled to admit
> that the situation was graver for
Sweden than ever before. Stockholm
newspapers say the declaration
of the foreign minister created the
greatest excitement.

Washington, Feb. 23.?Upon the
shoulders of two South Carolina con- ie
gressmen, Representative Lever, u]
chairman of the house committee on th
agriculture, and Senator E. D. Smith, g]
acting chairman of the same commit- ot
tee of the senate, rests much of the w
burden of getting at the bottom of ti<
the food situation and they are' pre- ai
pared to handle the matter they said b<
today in such a way that they may as- ti
certain the causes of the trouble in m
the present situation.
Ten congressmen, among them Mr. Cs
Lever, today, in a letter to the mem? w
bers of the house demanded an in- ot
vestigatlon Immediately by the federal ti
trade commissi on of the food situation C1
in view of the food riots in New York.
Congressman Borland of Missouri m
is the author of the letter. The other re
signers are: Congressmen Kent of b<

root of Wisconsin, Mondell of Wyoming,
Garner of Texas and Stephens of
MaK^o a Ira H
The letter follows, in part: J
"In response to the request of the I
president, the federal trade commis- k
sion placed before the appropriations
committee an estimate and request
for $400,000. Thereafter the commission
was heard, and the scope of th
inquiry described.
"Inasmuch as the information to be
secured would lose value if not obtain N
ed within a reasonable length of time, w
and especially as information from
various scenes of invesgigation should
be compared and compiled simultaneously,
it is obvious that a large force
will be necessary to make the research
serviceable and available."
Two federal departments, the inter- r(
state commerce commission and the ag
federal trade commission, are hastily ia
forming plans to relieve the serious ^
food and fuel shortages. th
Roused by reports received from w
many sections of the country, the fed- fa
eral trade commission announces that
immediate action will be taken to ,
carry en a nationwide inquiry on the ^
facts in the case.

ENGLAND FEELS
SUBMARINE WAR
Lloyd George Says There is No 1
Sure W?y of Victory Without
Clearing Seas of Submarines.
London, Feb. 26.?Premiem Lloyd
George told the house of commons
that the allied success depended upon
their ability to solve tne tonnage
shortage, which is affecting the ordinary
needs of the nation and military
exigencies. He said the situation
called for gravest of measures.
The premier declared there is no
sure way to victory without clearing
the seas of submarines. He stated
that the government proposed to dispense
with all nonessential importations
to save tonnage.
; A crowded house in special session
listened to the premier's address. In
the diplomatic gallery were Premier
Berddn of Canada and Premier
Massey of New Zealand.
. Lloyd George said before the war there
was just sufficient tq&nage for
British nepd?. Since the war there
has' b^eh :&n enormous increase in
the demand for tonnage. He said
more than a half minion tons of
British shipping had been allotted to
France alone and a very considerable
amount set aside for Bussia
and Italy. In addit&pn a considerable
number have-been sunk.
Food Stocks bow.
The premier said the stock food
in Great Britain at present is lower
than it has ever been before for the
essential life of the nation. He declared
every possible effort will be
made to increase home production. ,
He announced that the government
wouia proniDii entirely me lmpomtion
of apples, tomatoes and fruits.
The premier expressed the opinGreat
Reduction Importation.
The premier said brewing be cnt
down ten million barrels annually
and a similar reduction in the output
of spirits, thus saving 600,000
tons-annually. Importation of paper
is curtailed by further 640,000 tons
annually. Canned salmon importation
will be reduced 50 jper cent and
importation of all foreign tea, coffee,
and cocoa is proposed and even
amount India brought in will be reduced.
Paper reduction, it is said,
will cut the amount in half.
Grave and Serious Effort.
Lloyd George's speech was a grave
and a serious effort, giving his audience
little opportunity for enthusiasm.
He bent all his attention in
concentration on the seriousness of
the food situation. His program
was under two heads, first to increase
home production and, second,
curtailment of certain imports.
The first scheme is to cover in de- ,
tail by proposing advanced price
guarantees to farmer sighting them ,
to plow every inch available ground, i

HEAVY GAIN!! BY
BRITISH TROOPS
Indications Are Only Preparations
for Tremendous Drive Against
Germans.
i
The British troops In the Ancre region
of France are reported by the
London war office to have taken additional
ground from the Germans,
including, the village of Serre and several
important points farther east. In
these opereatlons, although they were
carried on over a wide front, only
small bodies of troops were engaged
and only slight oppoBtlon was met,
hut they are indicative of the plan
of the British to continue their steady
raiding in preparation for the more
extensive movement In tthe spring.
Another raid was carried but by
the British east of Vierstrdat, Belglum.
Here on a front of 500 yards
the British entered German trenches,
inflicted heavy casualties on the occupants,
destroyed dugouts and other
itorks and took 55 prisoners.
The Germans near Ypres Invaded
British trenches under cover of a
heavy bombardment but later were
ejected. Bombardments continue on
the remainder of the front held by
the French.
Isolated battles have taken place on
the Eastern front from northwestern
Russia to the Carpathians but neither
of the belligerents has obtained any
marked advantages. Small engagements
also have been fought In Roumania,
but the situation there remains
unchanged.

possession of information secured f
through personal letters and other? J
wise that; with the publication of the - j
Ragsdale story last week with spe- I
cial reference to the senatorial fight, }?M
the pot has begun to simmer and boil
and that 18 months ahead at the next j
election the "cat It about to come but *
of the bag." A* a matter of fact "the JS
cat has already come ont and is dsnc- '?*
Lag around merrily on the fence tops
and tin roofa. jJH
Mr. Ragsdale's statement started
something and following this it is known
that political consultations |
have been held which have a strong S
bearing on next yellPs contests. a
TlllMaa to Sou |
It has already been said that for .$
the present at least Senator Tillman "i
will not come any nearer making a M
statement regarding his plans for the vii
future than he did a day or/two ago
when he said: "I will have time to die
and come to life five or six times be- ,??a|
fore the next election comes off." This >
was in true Tillman style, but since 1
these words were uttered it has be- .i'Jj
come apparent that If he Is alive in ~m
.1918 Senator Tillman will be a candl- $
date to succeed himself as the senior
senator from South Carolina.1 This 1
statement is. made without authority S
from him and is given for what It is
worth coming from Washington
where many things are learned in
other ways than by straight telling. > ?
This being so, what about Tillman %
and what are the odds for and against
his again making the race for the
senate? It is understood that mem- |
bers of his family are using their in- $
fluence to get the senator to retire on ' f
the ground vthat he has had all the
honor that could come to hhim after - I;
many years of service in congress and ,
that he does not need the salary " ;
which goes with the place. What ef- * A
feet these pleadings will have on him ^
is not yet disclosed.
On the other hand there are many ' *'
public men who believe that Senator :
Tillman is in good enough physical
condition and that added to the
many years of his long public career
should satisfy hlm'that his duty is to '
remain in the senate.
Win Without Banning?
This is not the only case on record ?
where public, men have been reelected
and have not gone into the cam- 3
palgn. Senator Tillman, it is said, A
could make a few speeches throughout
the State in the larger towns and cities
and not campaign with the other
candidates unless he cared to do so.
He could, at the same time, do much > j
effective work from his own home,
thus avoiding the necessity of a tiresome
stump speaking campaign' tour.
This is not, however, minimizing in
the least the fight that may be made
by other candidates who will be in
the field, and it may develop that If
the present senior senator desires to
retain ihs present position he will be
compelled to get on the hustings
from the very start. This Is what
many of his close personal friends do
not want him to do and it Is what
they are counseling him not to do. )
No matter whether Senator Tillman
is or is not again a candidate, on*
real big fight will be seen in the
Fourth congressional district Today

man, it is. learned, is now putting the
finishing touches on many little fea- ' J'j
tures of his business affairs t which * |
will leave him time to make the race
unhampered.
This latter matter may develop
within the next month or it may sim- mer
along for some time but it comes
straight that it will be Spartanburg
