FOUR TO ONE VOTE
ON SUFFRAGE ISSUE
Parliamentarians Differ as to Force
of Resolution Adopted by Ninetyihree
io i wenty-one.
The State. 24ih.
T'n,. !*iV.'fi of the cer.cral as
senibiv yesterday ul'terncon adopted
by a vote of VI to 21 ihj concurrent
~esolui;on by Representatives Bradford
and Hart of York to reject the
Susan B. Anthony equal suffrage
-amendment. The resolution now iroes
to the senate for consideration.
The resolution caused something of
noriiomiMit'irv inm oarlv in the de
hate, effort being made to refer the
resolution to a committee that a joint
resolution of the same import might
be brought out. This agitation growout
of the different views held by parliamentarians
in the house. One group
contends that a concurrent resolution
has no force at law, and that a joint
resolution which leqaires the signature
of the governor, when approved
by both houses, would.
This difference of opinion has rais'id

be su 17 rage amendment will come up !
again this session. It is contended by j
those arguing for a joint resolution
that yesterday's action can be interreied
on!v as an exoressicn of senti-!
ment and that if the amendment were
zo be presented a direct vote would
have to be taken. The amendment;
has not been submitted on the direct J
question of "ratification*' and further;
consideration is likely, if not this ses- j
si on, at least next year. j
Some of those voting against the j
resolution yesterday are not in favor j
of equal suffrage. Several of these
opponents contended that the issue
was not faced squarely and by this
indirect method would put ihe legis-!
iature in a somewhat unfavorable;
iight outside South Carolina. The
-direct vote on the resolution was:

Shortly after the vote was taken,!
'.Mr. Bradford, one of the authors of j
the resolution, said it gave him no j
pleasure to oppose the wishes of the
women of the state who were anxious j
to "have the Anthony amendment rati- j
Tied "by the legislature, but that he!
"jeit he was doing the state a public I
service in trying to prevent the injec?.ion
of the negroes into politics.
/ For Suffrage Long Ago.
"The most ardent speech against the
resolution and for
rsqwal suffrage was made by M. R.
*Gooper of Beaufort, who voted at the
state constitutional convention in |
in favor of woman suffrage. J
"Mr. Cooper said all the talk about;
injecting the negro again in state j
Tpolitics was "pure rot." He had pass-'
* through t"he reconstruction period 1
.succeeding the War Between the?
Sections and had voted at precincts j
.where three negroes voted to one (
white man, and all voted the Demo- j
eratic ticket. The whites were able!*
t.os-ssst .<&e negro vote with a littler
tobacco and liquor. States' rights j
were lost at Appomattox and the posirinn
hpinr taken bv the South Caro-:
w.. ~ ^ \
iKna fegislature was only a slap at the
"national congress. j
"Representative Meares of Fairfield 1
led the right to get the bill referred \
to the committee on the judiciary of j
the house. j
3Ir. Hamilton of Chester contended i
i^hat the house was going out of the j
~ to express its sentiment on wo- I ^
jHa? suffrage. The amendment was

zion which is one of the most impor- j

Wanted Effective Action.
Mr. Hanahan of Fairfield was bitcerly
opposed to suffrage, but wanted
^he resolution referred to a committee
which would substitute a joint
resolution instead. "Let us have a
joint resolution which will kill the infernal
thing now and forever," he,
said.
Mr. Belser of Sumter argued for <:a !
decent hearing" on the amendment.

$9,000,000 To Be Spent In Fighting

W. McDonald Lee, National Direc
lor OL lae grtMl taiu^aigu muuvu^a i
by the Anti-Saloon League of America, !
has made the following statement j
showing the objects of the campaign, j
why it is necessary, and to what pur-!
poses the funds raised will be de- :
voted.
"We have three great aims In this j
campaign." declared Mr. Lee, "all of 1
which will appeal to every patriotic j
American who has the welfare of his j
own country at heart and any regard |
for the moral and spiritual welfare [
and progress of our neighboring na- j
tions. These aims are as follows:
{1) To aid home Law Enforcement |
(requiring about nine million;.
(2) To Americanize the Foreigner
(requiring about nine million).
(3) A Dry World by 1SC0 (including
Mexico and West Indies).
"A fourth of the money raised in
the campaign is to be left in the State
for object one, "Law Enforcement."
which means creating public senti
ment for observance of law. and de- j
mand for officers who win cniorce tne
law. Internal Revenue Commissioner
Daniel Roper and Federal and State
officers nearly everywhere invite such
co-operation by our organization and
similar ones. Liquor interests have j
organized?it is said with $400,000,000
fund?twenty-four States, in effort to
elect a Congress that will increase alcoholic
contents from one-fourth of
one per cent, to ten, or even forty
per cent., and thus defeat the aims
of Prohibition and nullify the Eighteenth
amendment.
)assage by both houses of the nation- '?
il congress deserved more considera- j 5
:ion from the legislators. j J
Mr. Gray of Spartanburg did not;
ive through the reconstruction '
period, but at his father's kr.ee he '
lad been told of the horrors of those? '<
rears and he did not wish for himself
?r nostoritv such another calamity.
He had told some of the women lob- i
syists for the amendment that "more J
lell and the devil would be raised'
Dver this thing than anything else." j
Mr. Dreher of Lexington knew j
that states' rights were defeated at ]
Appomattox, but the principles of t
democracy were still living and that
was what he was fighting for in opposing
the national amendment.

LEE OF VIRGINIA,

"Another fourth of the money, for

Lea?113 of America for work among
aliens in this country. \Y?* must mak*
good and law-abiding citizens of those
foreigners who stay with us. through
education, literature and speakers in
the only language they may know.
While harangued by anarchists and
booze-advocates they remain a menace
to our institutions. These scattered
colonies within our borders can
be reached only through the systematic
and sttidied propaganda of the National
League.
"Such of the remainder of the funds
as may be determined by the Stat?
and National Leagues is to be devoted
to object three. All the world is now
our neighbor. Five critical years have
demonstrated that we are vitally affected
by conditions elsewhere on the
giobe. One dollars worth of liquor
will counteract a hundred dollars of
the money so generously given to missions
by Bapitsts. Methodists, Presbyterians,
Episcopalians and others.
Let's help make effective these mis
sionary gifts. The missionary pleads
for our help against the emigrating
liquor dealer and his wares that are
hurrying to other shores.
"Under objects one and two the
Anti-Saloon League seeks to remove ;
the cause that Y. M. C. A., Red Cross.
Salvation Army and other ncbie bodies
are earnestly striving to remedy. With !
I?w enforcement, proper education and
removal of temptation there will be
less poverty, fewer dens of vice, a
redemption from misery to women and
children, and the work of those great
organizations will be made easier and
the quicker accomplished.
"Under object three it will be possible
to "clean up" Cuba and the
Bahamas from the liquor and vice contagion
that is already affecting our
shores. Mexico also, because of which
probably a hundred million doliars a j
year is spent by our American Govern- j
ment to keep the peace, would be less |
a disturbing element if dnnk were!
abolished and this can be accomplished.
As an a d in preventing
Bolshevism from spreading to our
shores, some countries of the Old
World should be made acquainted
with our customs and laws and their
citizens taught to respect such beXora
emigrating here." . v
