r - ORGANIZATION THE WATCHWORD Charleston American. i The political campaign in South Calorina is young, but not previous. It L will be fully six months before it is; in full swing, but the issues are now J as clear cut as they will be six months | hence. There can be no doubt about it thai; the old Palmetto State is wide awa^e Albert?Pomaria?Pickens, these I three names will go down in history. I Future generations will call them Bk with pride. They will point to these ^ places as the strongholds of demoe-! 8 racy, where the first vigorous blows ! were struck for the redemption of tne R Stete. j K Saturday's mass meeting of demo-j 8 erats at Pickens was nothing short. r of remarkable. Apparently there l were no dissenting voices on the Is-1 sues, that mean so much for our peo- j pie. All the speakers were highly, patriotic, as South Carolinians will | ever be. There was none who is notj wiling to sacrifice life and substance i u"Aimfiir T5itf tVio notinri.TCtriP ! IU1 Ills WUI'U'; . UUL vuv uwuwu ' .M.V | propaganda for blind subservience ro Jfee dictates of any one man, the agl- j v tation for the relinquishment of the' *>?wer of Congress, the methods of ^rightfulness employed against free epeeen arid a free press?all these received a severe check in Pickeas,, ftte.te of South Carolina. The "Spirit f *76," tht unconquerable spirit of t*depe*dence, can nerer die 1b Ike; Palmetto State, of this we are new very sure. t The words of Congressman Fred H. 1 ?eminick were the words of Souta #arelina manhood. And who is there ?! ?"* 1o?i? wVin ? truth* I ICAa wuguuui VUC lauu nuv ? f*flly assert that they ^were anything 1 but truly democratic and highly patriotic? ;?' ? "I hare been accused being I against the administration," said j i ngressman Dominick, "but the j f rtf 'h* Stat a* and fte# i I "" f aemfcera of Congress get their commissions alike from the people." Me explained why he voted against; Ike war, and his explanation canny:, fail to carry conviction to the heart*? f any red-blooded American that, f karing arrived at the conclusion lie i did, it was not only his right but his ^ , ?acred duty to vote in accordance t A with his conscience. Of course he was J M vigorously applauded when he said i 9 that a man who went to congress to * Tote simply as he was told by the President, had no business in Wasn-; ington. And he had the manhood to | come out boldly with the statement; that southern ideas of democracy are ! at variance with, the democratic I<3ea3' published as coming from the War j Department to the effect that in a war! for democracy there should be no ra | cial distinctions. And best of all he met the now un-' iversal clamor for a statement of this country's war aims, by endorsing til's demand of the people unequivocally: > r '! ; "I 1 <Lk r I office tall I ' ; That's the se | man's success in t; f phone.

SOUTHERN BELL T AND TELEGRAPH "What these concrete vvar aims are," ! he said, "I must confess that the pey-. 1 pie do not clearly know, but they' should be stated, so that the way cojia be cleared at least for a conference and a basis for peace terms." He declared that any man who would write or say that it is disloyal or cowardly to ask fair questions li*w; that k either a knave or a fool. Ana j he quoted Wilson's former statement j to the effect: "Let each of the warring nations j i say what thev want and what will sar.-l i isfy {hem. and let them see if theyi can't get together and stop this mis-1 erable massacre ck men and wealth.* v i Along these lines former Governor Cole L. Blease also spoke with his accustomed vigor. Thousands of democrats proved in the hand primary that they are in fullest accord with j himt He discouraged any figlit on tne draft law, stating that it ought to be obeyed to the letter, and that it is better to give one's life in obeying the < law than start a legal fight to defeat' what he does not think can be legally ? defeated. Hence he has refnsd many! offers for a legal fight against it. But his hand primary refuted the statement, as far as a large part ef the real democracy of South Carolina ?s ooncerned, that "my people clamors for war." Being in it, however, ae stands as ready to do his hit as aty man in the Stste. But he is a demc orat and naturally not in lave with autocracy. Had his offer ,t? raise v third regiment, aot been haughtily rejected, we would never hare fceea eonfroated with the prohlent of encamping negro and white troops together im South Carolina. He prove* how the money of the taxpayers is being squandered by the -present state administration, how they are paying th' whiskey constabulary'h bills in bawdy houses, and were left without money to prepare acamp for our brave soldiers: and and came to the conclusion that "the administration of Scott and Moses never saw anything like it."

Resolutions Bespeakiny Loyalty to Country and Confidence in Speaker The State. j St. Matthews, Aug. 25,?The cam-; paign of education on the war situa-j tion began here last night with Dr! George B. Cromer of Newberry as the j speaker. A crowded Mouse greeted Dr p.mmr and he held his audience j in rapt attention for as hoar. Many! expressed the wish that he could hare' spoken longer. The frequent applause < which interrupted the speaker attest- j e<?. the sympathy of the audience.) While Dr. Cromer always carries with1 - ?* - j ?^ j ?<,?. ! fiim nne aopiomauy ?uu punoucu manners, be does not wear gloves when he goes out after a subject that deserves to be handled with a .pitehfork j and he had the instrument with him last night. Without the use of harsh words, he spoke words that cut to till root of the question and be did aot| speak by inuendo, but called things j. by their proper names. Dr. Cromer relieved the audience of! any doubt as to what his ultimate' motives were iby announcing in the beginning that his speeches were not for the purpose of getting votes and that he was seeking no office. His review of the events which led to the war and of the various stages of the conflict and the relations of the United States to the war was perfect in detail. His statement of the course of President Wilson in all his relations with the warring nations and of his 5innnrjhlo offnrts tn kPPn US Out Of tile war was refreshing and without omis % sion. His defense of the course of the administration was masterly. His ar- ] raignment of those who are opposing the conscript law and thereby dM-i Vi/in Kfftnincr +V>a er\1r1inve infrn fTl<>. ll^CLl LClIUlt, HiV/ owxuivi k> vw*<v\? army was unequivocal. He shower! that the agitator who was putting tiiej poison of sedition into the mind of: the brave but unlettered soldier was smart enough perhaps to escape punishment for his sin. but the unsuspecting and trusting victim wno courageously and erroneously follow-! ed his advice was the victim. The contrast?as to how the mothers of t*:? 60's sent their boys to the front with! a kis> and bade them Godspeed, and as to how so many parents were no;? hunting for a shield behind which their boys should hide was vividly drawn. Dr. Cromer spoke yesterday morn-| ing to a large audience at Cameron, j and as a testimonial of the enthusiasm with which his speech was receive-1, many of the Cameron people came to C? 4- "VT?* + + 1-* 4* 1 nrlt f + s\ 1"* T rr> ui. .viacuic" a :a>t 1115111 LU 11 \z-ci 1 uu^ again.
