The newspapers that are abusing Blease are doing all they can to j elect him Governor. With all his unpopularity, we be-1 lieve that the people will give Gov. Ansel a second term. Had Featherstone remained in the xace for Governor, Ansel would be a "has been" after the primary. It is the duty of every citizen to "vote, and those , who have not yet | registered are urged to do so with-1 out delay. There is no use to become hyster ical over the race for Governor. The man the people will elect will be perfectly safe and sane. This county should give Melli champ a unanimous vote. He de serves it, and we believe he wil come mighty near getting it. If any money has been used in Orangeburg County in the interest -of either candidate for Governor we have not heard of it. As a mat ter oJ: fact we do no believe that I such is the case. Chairman Hitchcock, who is man aging the Taft campaign, says he will retire to private life after the election. No doubt of that. Bryan will be the next President and Hitchcock will be but of a job. Because of the mud slinging by certain candidates The News and Courier is of the opinion that the present campaign will decide wheth er or not a South Carolina gentle man may hereafter venture into pol itics. In Newberry County over two thousand white voters have regis tered. There are only a few hun dred more to register and they will have their names enrolled before the the books are closed. How is it in Orangeburg County. Go to the polls and vote for the candidate of your choice. This is our advice to the Democrats of Orangeburg County. The only can didate The Times and Democrat ad vocates is the Hon, Stiles R. Melli champ. He should get all of our voiea. The fact that negroes are shot down, swung up to trees* have their throats cut, their homes burned and their property destroyed in Spring field, Illinois, the old home of Lin coln, the great emancipator, shows that the race problem is national in its scope. Senator Tillman does not believe the United States will elect a man president who goes to Oyster Bay to have Mr. Roosevelt read and cor rect and revise his speech of accep tance of the Republican nomination. The Senator is right. B-tyan will be tne next president. From what we can learn the race for Governor in Orangeburg Coun ty willjbe nip and tuck. Some be lieve that Ansel will carry it while others believe that Blease will win. We will know all about it in a little while. So curb your temper and wait with patience for the result. By some hook or crook one Frank H. Saffold, a Georgia Populist, was named as one of the Democratic electors of that State. The Augus ta Chronicle demanded his resigna tion, rightfully claiming that none but true and tried Democrats should hi on the Democratic ticket. The Chronicle made it so hot for Mr. Saffold that he announces that he will not only vote personally for the Democratic ticket at the polls and jii the electoral college, but that he will take the stump for the ticket. The Chronicle is taking no halfway ground in this campaign and is do-1 iiig good work. Orangeburg's Candidate. While on a recent trip to the up per part of the State we met and conversed with a number of gentle men from different counties, and we were delighted to find that the Hon. Stiies R. Aleiiichawip, Orange burg County's candidate for State Superintendent of Education, would run well everywhere, We believe that Prof. Mellichamp will be the next State Superintendent of Edu cation. He is tha best man running for the position, and will posibly win in the first primary. Orange burg County should do her full share to make this possible by giv ing her candidate a practically unanimous vote. We appeal to the voters of Orangeburg County to stand by their candidate, not only because he is a home man, but be cause he is the best man for the po ?ition in ths field. He has served i Orangeburg County well and ablv in her educational affairs and he will do the same for the State. See to it then that his name is on your ballot when your vote in the pri mary. Talks Through His Hat. Rev. L. G. Broughton, of Atlanta Ga., who is nothing if not sensa tional, has been guilty of "talking through his hat," to use a common but expressive phrase. The other day at a big Baptist meeting in New York, Mr. Broughton caused quite a stir and met with considerable ap plause when he said that the nomi nation of Governor Hughes by the Republicans for the presidency would have broken the 'Solid South.' The subject of this political preach er's sermon was "The Christain as a Citizen." In his sermon he said "the South is shaking off its shackels, and we are going to have a hand in running the government. You've run the government ever since the war, and you've made a mess of it; we're go ing to come in and clean up that mess. And if we'd had our way this time, as we mean to have it later, the candidate for president on the Republican ticket would have been the present governor of the state of New York. If he had been nomi nated, he would have broken the solid South. He has demonstrated that he is not for party or personal aggrandisement, but for Christain citizenship." The Rev. Mr. Broughton ought to know, if he knows anything, that even as clean and good a man as Hughes would not be able to break the solid Sjuth as a Republican can didate for President. Gov. Hughes is a Baptist, and so is the Rev. Mr. Broughton in a way, and that may have had something to do with his thinking that New Yorks honest and fearless Governor could break the Solid South, but he is mistaken. Such men as Hughes are out of place in the Republican party, and as long as they stay in that corrupt political organization they need ex pect no political favors from the people of the South. Rev. Mr. Broughton's statement to the con trary notwithstanding. An Honest Confession. Bryan's speech accepting the nom ination of his party for President is admitted to be an able one by many of the Republican papers even. Some of them freely admit that the speech puts Roosevelt's proxy can didate, Taft, in a very deep hole. The New York Evening Post, which is an honest Republican paper, says "h"-w ?euch Mr. Bryan hst br^fiiod iv ftl?yfcai?Ol 4 iU c. *;l(?Ugi) ing appears clearly in his sptech of acceptance, It has all the earmarks of the man accustomed to address ing the nation on public affairs, and is not lacking in ability* and shrewd ness. He has had the wisdom to confine it to readable limits, and its vigor and clearness of diction; it must be confessed, contrast most favorably with the ponderous style and the tiresome length of Mr. Tail's Cincinnatti address. That the Ne braskan fencer is quick on his feet and at case in the tourney has beed apparcn* from the beginning. He is not lacking in self-confidence, and is not afraid to take the lead. He scored visibly in the bout over cam paign expenses, and, in this more I formal one, he has slipped past his I adversary's guard and pinked him jnot once but several times. The ! umpires to be fair must cry "Touch!" at Nr. Taft's expense." The Post goes on to say that 'on the vulnerab's parts- of Mr. Taft's address Mr. Bryan readily puts his finger. There was the former's summary of the grave "known abuses" that still remain uncorrect ed, and those that have been ended. Mr. Taft, it will be remembered, is one of those who believe that, if Mr. Roosevelt had not come to the helm, this country would have perished of plutocracy. Under what presidents did these evils grow apace, under what system of laws? asks Mr. Bry an. Why were the evils which Mr. Roosevelt is said to have throttled as the infant Hercules the snakes, allowed to grow to such size under successive Republican administra tions? Sinco the party of Roosevelt anil Taft ha<j been in power from 1861 on with the exception of two seperated periods of four years, it is a fair deduction that Republican policies and Republican laws are iYe&6?liSiblefoi !.'he <-f political power by ihe people, the ruie of the few, and the growth 'of those astounding fortunes our tariff bar ons have so readily shared with the Republican campaign chests." "And why, asks Mr. Bryan with great effect, ignoring allegations of their recent origin, have not all the evils been corrected? If there are laws covering them, why have they not been inforced; and if there are no laws, why have they not been enacted? The Republicans have had undisputed control of both houses: on many issues they have had the support of Democratic votes. Yet they have passed neither the anti trust bill nor the railroad laws which their own president has declared necessary. Mr. Bryan is correct in saying that Mr. Taft as president I could not have larger majorities or a more despotic speaker behind him, and he does not forget to dwell up on that schism in the Republican party so well illustrated in Kansas, where Senator Long has just now been defeated for renomination largely because he, did not favor the radical railroad legislation that both Mr. Bryan and Senator LaFollette have urged. But it is on the tariff that Mr. Bryan scores most easily. Both Mr. Taft and Mr. Roosevelt have pronounced for revision; both have pos poned it with politicians' cowardice until after election." The Post, after the above honeat confession, says that Mr. Bryan wished he could have cited from Mr. Root>e celt's New England speeches of 1902 some brave anti tariff utterances the like of which the preside:i' has not dared to voice since. Mr. Bryan could have asked why those lips are padlocked precise ly as he laid .- t ress upon the direct connection u-tween the campaign contribution: of tariff beneficiaries and the ina^ ity of ;the Republican party in all hs history to reform the tariff save b> raising the duties." It will be seen 11 om the above that the Post does no. iphold the Republican party in sorn- of its raids on the people, yet it is supporting Taft. How it can d it with an easy con science is a rm t.ery. Politics and Religion. The presidential campaign is yet young. The last of the candidates has only just been officially notified of his nomination, and the first lap of the race is as yet only fairly started. But one hindrance after another has settled itself on Mr. Taft, which are acting as handicaps. The Brownsville affair has dissatis fied the negroes, his endorsement of Russian methods has angered the Jews, his record on labor decisions and the Republican party's plank on anti-injunction has brought him the antagonism of labor. And now his religion is arraying against him the body of the orthodox Christians of the country. ' The Augusta Herald says "Mr. Taft is a Unitarian. As its name implies, this sect rejects the divini ty of Christ. This in the minds of de vout Christians is an unpardonable sin, and as a rule the less religion a feller has himself the more he is a stickler for such things in others? consequently this fatal want of or thodoxy on the part of Mr. Taft will bring him into disrepute with devout ?? *riri--<i-i: s .cl?-> caen/d fake iuij.iijk .o .i .?. i?i a i: ?: i . . ...v CiiribC la tut: SOU ol Guu, atiU aiao with that still larger class who. hav ing little or no religion themselves, ?try to make themselves believe that they have by jumping on the fellow who openly confesses that he has not the right kind. *'It is held that religion and poli tics should not be mixed but they are sometimes, as in this case. And when this happens the campaign takes on the nature of a holv war, the most vindictive and unsparing of all. j "The question of Mr. Taft's reli | gion or rather want of religion oi the orthodox kind, is beginning to stir the West. One Indiana man I recently remarked: "Out here we look at Unilarianism as a sort j Of infidelity, and we are a lit j tie sui-oicious of Mr. Taft on that account." The Index pub lished at Valley Center, Kan., in its recent issue describes a series of chautauqua lectures by Dr. George L. Robinson, Including such themes as "Isaiah's Undisputed Prophe cies," and the like, in which it says that the speaker created no little surprise in one half of his morning discourse by declaring that while there had always been at the head of the country "a Christain gentle man like Mr. Bryan" rather than a man who had never accepted Chris tianity and who when he at tended services of any kind, "went where the divinity of Christ was de nied." The hearty applause which followed this utterance in the re porter's opinion, left no doubt that the chautauqua atmosphere presents a serious obstacle to Mr. Taft's suc cess. "This question will doubtless grow. In Augusta a few days ago it was discussed and a negro, of the better class, one who owns nror-^r ty.. r g /IWf . u>i V and .?*v has alwavs voted che Republican ticket?declared emphatically that he could not and would not cast his ballot for a man who denied the di vinity of Christ. And so it goes. Because Mr. Taft is not orthodox in in his religious belief he will lose thousands of votes. "It is useless to say that this should not be, that a man's religion has nothing to do with politics. It is useless to point out that Thomas Jefferson was a deist and Mil lard Fillmore also fras a Unitarian. Per haps these facts were not known to the people generally before these presidents were elected. At any rate Mr. Taft, because he is a Uni tarian and as such does not sub scribe to the doctrine of the divini ty of Christ, will lose many votes which he will sorely need when the count is made. "So even this early in the cam paign it is plain that Mr. Taft's chances of election are rapidly fad ing away, and with this additional element of opposition it seems im possible that he should win.
