SolM consresi-'ional support of the administnitibn plan for selective con-l aui rpnuu m i fusing an ai iuy aucnaun; to cope with the European situation was strongly urged by Gov. Manning yesterday. The chief executive ex plained that he has written letters to all members of the South Carolina delegation and advised others cogni zant of the situation to write their representatives. The volunteer sys-: tem has failed, the governor asserts,j and he urges the importance of selec tive conscription to speed up enlist ments. "The time has come," said Go*. Manning yesterday, "when we mucjt; let cur representatives in congress, know that we favor the feature of se-j lective conscription as embodied in J staff hill now nendin^. I have written letters to our congressmen,; urging upon them to support the ad-i ministration, and I would suggest that' those who are familiar with the in- i tent of the conscriptive feature also write our representatives. The ques-; tion is one of immediate importance ond n;ir rpnrpqpntatl VPS are entitled to an expression of opinion from their constituents. j "The intent of selective conscrip-, tion is essentially democratic. The government realizes that there is & duty for every man, woman and child in this country to perform in this ?'"'o tt-ViiW> ?a tho rrvrrpc.t view for a democracy to take. To this end councils have been appointed to look after certain features of national and State defense; requests have" been> made for skillful artisans in all the crafts;.calls have been issued for menj and v;omen, familiar with one kind of work, to continue in that work in co- ( operation with the government so as to present a united front, covering every field of human endeavor, to our common foe. Mechanics, architects,1 civil engineers, physicians, and mem bers of all other vocational trades are being mobilized as such, because the government knows that the service such a person can perform in his par ticular field is of more value than the service he can perform as an un trained soldier. "fT1v ? ~ nnaa that wiTl 1 UCil, \\ LLKJ ai C Vitvo make the best soldiers? Who are the ones whose civil training has not reached that degree of efficiency that ' to leave it. w?uld forever impair his chosen profession? Who are the ones whose muscles and physical vitality and fitness are in the best condition to take up arms and fight for our country, while the older men combine to support them in the field? The an swer to all these questions is found in .the selective draft system, which picks out first certain of the young men between the ages of 19 and 25 for military service. We are at war und we must accustom ourselves to tHo nf military service, not in its brutal sense but .in the sense that there is a service for all to perform where such service can be rendered in the mo6t effective fields. "In'indorsing the selective draft or; conscription, we accept the conclu-J sions of military experts, who have given the problem long and careful ctndv. The president, the secretary of war and general staff officers sayj that it is the 'only just and reliable! system' and that the selective draft! has been recognized by a world to J arms as the only adequate and effec-j tual method of raising an army.' ] "Xor does the selective draft do; awaj' entirely with the volunteer sys-| ?

We should, therfore, adopt j the methods that our own experience' in former wars and the experience otl other nations has shown us is thev most effective. The volunteer system; failed, in the Revolutionary war, forj it was the material aid from France that won our independence; it also failed in the War of 1812; it was giv- J en up as inadequate in the War Be-j tween the Sections; it iaiiea us ui Spanish-Aqierican War, for the num ber of volunteers called for was not reached. I also call your attention to the fact that England had to dis card the volunteer system. "I therefore urge that you, the peo- j pie of South Carolina, let your con-j gressional representatives know thai: the Palmetto State stands as a unit; behind the president in favoring the! provision for selective arait or con scription."
