STATE COMMITTEE EXPLAINS PURPOSE "Do it For South Carolina" Dinner a Success FOR EXPANSION CAMPIAIGN Dr. George B. Cromer and G. Croft Williams Respond to Toast of 'South Carolina' Columbia, June 14.-"Let's do it" was the keynote of the "Do it for South Carolina" dinner here this evening, when the two hundred prom inent men from all parts of the State who are going to lead the expansion campaign of the South Carolina De velopment Board gathered to take counsel with (each othe and put the rinishing touches on their plans. Gov. Cooper, Chairman of the execu tive campaign committee, who re turned to his office today for the first time since he had his tonsils removed the first of last week, could not de liver an address but had Senator Niels Christensen, president of the board, to go somewhat into detail as to the unquestionable demand in South Caro lina for a union of the people on a program which will develop and util ,ze the vast resources of the State. Senator Christensen called on G. Croft Williams, secretary of the State Welfare Board, and one of the staunchest advocates of the Develop nient Board, and Dr. George B. Cro mer, of Newberry, former president of Newberry College and a member of the State Executive Campaign Commit tee of the board, to respond to the toast of "South Carolina" in the place of Gov. Cooper. Both stressed the point that South Carolinians as State and nation, can not live unto themselves but must co operate for the good of the whole peo ple if they expect this State to be a forefront commonwealth. Ex-Gov. Manning, who was to have spoken, was unavoidably detained. Manning is Detained Senator Christensen gave an outline of the history of the organization and an insight into its plans and purposes and its methods of operation. His talk was illustrated by a number of con crete examples of work that needs toll be done and for which there is no ex isting agency of accomplishment. Then former Gov. D. C. Heyward told why he had selected the topic of "Let's Do It." for his talk. le had been impressed by the slogan of the drive. "Do it for South Carolina," which he felt now was well known to the great majority of the people of the State. It was not enough, he said, to say "Do it" the hing now was to go out to do it. All of the talk met a responsive sentiment in the minds,1 of the company and the sum of the expression of the men who attended I the dinner was that 'We do it." The dinner was in many ways one of the most notable ever held in South Carolina. Every article of food placed., before the guests was a South Caro lina product. The subjects of the speayers were South Carolina andI va rius phases o'f its dleveloplmen t andl upbuilingo. The determinat ion axt the close (of the even int. was to( make .RooIh C'arolina the finest State inl the Union and then teo out and tell it to the world.

"No one . will doubt that before Governor Cooper, former Governor Manning and the twenty-three other South Carolin ians who compose the state campaign committee, accepted those positions, they satisfied themselves that the de velopient board was already and would remain in competent hands. In each of the ten districts Into which the state has been divided for the pur poses of the campaign and in each of the forty-six counties, other man have formed district and county committees because they too were certain of the continued efficient management of the 'oard's affairs." 0 BELIEVE DEMOCRATS WILL WIN ELECTION British and French Journals Go Slow as Candidate Harding Is Little Known. London, June 14.-Warren G. Hard ing's personality and record being vir tually unknown, here newspaper com ment here this morning- expresses neither satisfaction or disappointment with the Republican choice of a Presi lential candidate. Several newspapers refer to him as a "dark horse" and infer from cabled report he represents a compromise. Two or three journals assume the result of the Chicago con vention has opened the possibility of the election of a Democrat to the Presidency which of late has been re 4arded here as extremely improbable. Among those taking this view are the London Times and the Daily News, the latter telling the Democrats "the best card they can play si to persuade Herbert Hoover to accept their nomi nation in spite of everything." Relations Are Discussed The future of the league of nations iand of British-American relations are points much discussed in the light of the nomination of Mr. Harding. The Morning Post, which is a stern oppo nent of the league, says: Mr. Harding is a politician not an idealist, and may commend himself to the American people, "who show no marked liking for being governed by edict from Mount Sinai" and predicts that if the Republicans win. "the league will fall to the (lusty -tage of pious revolution." Curiosity as to how Mr. Harding interprets Elihu Root's "ambiguously worded" plank i sexpreaz'.d by the Felegram which thinks it will not be surprising if this "ambiguity was de liberately cultivated on the principle that the least said the soonest mended it will be much easier to abuse Mr. Wilson's failure than to suggest 1 satisfactory alternative."
