Mc- n Laurin and bind him to their party. |)( so that they could have the benefit of his acknowledged ability as a pro- (|j ducer of political ideas ami his liold .,| aggressiveness in political affairs. Last fall there was a persistent and U| concerted effort by Itlease leaders to bring McLaurin out as the aeknowl- Jl( edged candidate of their party for governor, despite the long standing elainis for that honor made liy Itich- ((, aids. Sttiekv, I'eeples and perhaps .j others. The Daily Mail warned them JM at the time that they were monkey- , ing with a dangerous proposition. that McLattrin during his whole po- t litical life, had never been known to ()) stand hitched and submit tamely to )n being harnessed and driven by a po- tJj litical ring no matter how powerful they were. During December of last year some letters, signed by a number of men to give them a sent Ida nee of being . representative, were sent to .Mr. Mc- j. Lattrin asking him to lie a candidate j.f i ' !fuliii;i mi 1 he . h"? VI "" m Itlease | arty ticket ami lie promised sj tn give an answer in .lannary, which he iliil. . That answer utterly and omphatirally repudiated HI ease as a eatwli- )n date for the I'nited States senate and (|. made Mcl-aurin's position on hoth national and state polities very clear . and his statement created meat eonsternation in the Mlease camp. The ( party having no principles or poIle> except Itlease, eliminating him as a ( candidate would leave it high and ;|j dry, orphaned and homeless and n) without a prop to lean on. r The lilease party has tried many sj different times to hold state anil county conventions, hut these meet- M ings never amounted to more than .,. caucuses of political friends. Such a meeting was held in r'olumhia in January, which, from reports, was almost solely attended hy otllceliold- y ers from the legislature and elsewhere. This caucus, while held ostensibly to select a candidate for governor, finally agreed on nothing. ^ neither platform nor candidates, except to support Itlease for the I'nited in States senate. ^ It must have been that this meeting felt some uneasiness as to the answer McLnurin would give to the request made of him to run for gov- ^ ernor. Believing in political "preparedness" the meeting evidently ( sought a goat with which to conic back at McLaurtn ami repudiate him. if his answer proved unfavorable or offensive. And it was both. This goat turned out to be four members of the Anderson county ' delegation in the legislature. We don't know who wrote the letter of repudiation to McLaurin which was signed by the Anderson solons. whether it was written by one of the ^ signers, or whether It emanated from the literary bureau of the Blease party, which is more likely. Hut it showed such an. utter lack of politi- J cal wisdom or knowledge of the . la characteristics of the man they were dealing with, that It becomes worthy ^ of note in passing for its silly futlllty in accomplishing the purposes sought. The letter itself and Mo. ^ I^aurin's reply to it gives ample ex- ^ position of the party ideals and holds that pnrty up to the disgusted ridt- j.( j'ule of the average citizen. at j So the matter stands at present.

The tirst part of the nation-wide soldiers' and sailors' campaign has just closed and the goal of "1,000.000 men insured with the United States government by February 12" undoubtedly was attained. Secretary McAdoo announced Thursday. It is safe to say that the total will exceed $8,000,000,000. The average amount applied for is $8,212. In a month 478.518 applications, repre senung t-t.sio.a't.oou 01 insurance, have been received. In the last four days applications for more than $1,180,000.000 came in. at an average rate of 38.000 daily. Lieut. Robert H. Hall of the 48th infantry, was arrested at San Francisco, on Thursday, charged with embezzling 17.000. He was on his honeymoon. When arrested his bride gave him back her engagement ring and said she wanted nothing l>ought with stolen money.
