Our son Bill is ready for school.
He has found his foot-ball.
Does the "J" in the name of Col.
J. D. Kerr stand for Jakie?
We can stand the results of the
election if the men elected can.
i .
We, intended to vote for certain
candidates before seeing their pictures
in the Sunday State.
The statement that the sun rises
in South Carolina before it does in
California is a slander on the poor
man.
If the new hotel in Gaffney is to
be screened before the Press Assocln
ation arrives we hope that the flies
jp' **
will be left on the outside.
' *
Perhaps some of the nearby dailies
do not publish that our congressional
candidates are equally loyal
for fear of an action for libel by
Mr. Dominick.
Hon. J. Howard Moore is opposed
to that provision in the .man-power
bill what would allow Mayor Mars
and Col. Dave Hill to go to the war
ahead of him. He does not believe
in the government showing these
gentlemen any favoritism.
It is evident from the reports of
the number of people attending
Blease campaign meetings as sent
in by the Bleasfe correspondents that
the voting population of South Carolina
has been greatly underestimated,
or perhaps, they are counting
the tombstones of ghosts they see.
. U;' ??' ! ;
Some of the newspapers which
have been finding fault with the
Charleston American for its failure
to publish the text of the Daniels
letter, have themselves failed to note
that the candidates for Congress in
this district are, in the opinion of
the administration, "equally loyal."
WATCH FOR OUR EXTRA.
The Press and Banner is getting
out its regular edition today in ord$r
that the people may not be without
the news. The Press and Banner
will receive on its own account
' this evening telegraphic news concerning
the election which will be
given out at its office for the infor
Elation of the public. We will publish
Wednesday morning, in time for
the mails and rural routes, the latest
new3 from the election in order that
the people in the country sections
may know how the cat has jumped.
The Press and Banner is a newspaper.
It publishes the news.
YOUR DUTY TODAY.
The government of the state and
nation cannot be better than the
men who hold the offices. It will do
no good to allow unworthy men to
be elected and then complain of the
kind of government they give us.
We hare but one remedy to obtain
good government, and that remedy
is by . electing the . right kind of men
^ j
??&
- ' ... ' I- -
to the positions of trust in the government.
A nomination in the democratic
primaries is equivalent to an election
in this state. Therefore, the
men nominated in today's primaries
are the men who will make thfc
government for the next two years.
Remembering this, it becomes the
duty of the good citizen to see that
only true and tried men are elected
to office. He can do this in no other
way than by himself appearing at
the polls and casting his ballot for
the best man who is offering for every
office. It is as incumbent on
a man who desires to do his duty to
go to the polls and vote as it is to
pay his taxes, or perform any of
the other duties of the citzien. If i
he fails, he neglects his state. He 1
allows his own business to suffer i
through his own default. He is un- ]
mindful of his neighbor's rights. He
cares not for the country. 1
We have every confidence that ]
the best men will win in today's ]
elections. The times demand that <
we give the country the best we i
have. It is no time to talk about <
friendships, and kindred and the
needs of men running for office. It j
is the day when every man, however ]
humble, should measure up to the ]
[ standard of a patriot. | i
Go to the polls and do your duty.
Let nothing keep you away. 1

senate military subcommittee on it
aircraft investigation. While com
menting favorably upon reorganiza
tion already effected, the committe<

the creation of a new department oJ
aviation headed by a cabinet mem
ber:
Waste of millions of dallars, faul
ty executive organization, impropei
location of training fields, and em
ployment of inexperienced inspect
ars and favoriteism to contractors
are among the faults charged to th<
aid organization by the committee.
The report is impersonal, explain
ing that questions of individual dis
honesty or official corruption wer*
left to investigation to the depart
ment of justice inquiury directed bj
Charles E. Hughes. It was submit
ted with unanimous indorsement o:
the senators who have conducted th<
inquiry during the last few months
Senators Thomas ,of Colorado, chair
man, and Senator Reed, of Missouri
Smith of Georgia, New, of Indiana
Frelinghuysen, of New Jersey.
After approval by the full militar;
committee, it was read to the senate
In a statement later commentinj
on the report Secretary Baker saic
the country should be gratified t(
know that quantity production o1
airplanes is now assured. Senato:
Thomas put a letter in the Recor<
from Howard E. Coffin, former chair
man of the aircraft productioi
board, disclaiming responsibility fo:
himself and other civilian member
for actions of army and naval otfi
