The suffragists do well to look
further than Tennessee for ratltlea- '
tlon of the Susan D. Anthony ameiidirent.
The supreme court of the United
States Is not going to rape e
^constitution of Tennessee to accoinijnnodatu
tho sulTragists or anybou)
W else.

Thoro never was the good reason
f tor the prejudice uguiusi Cuurlesiou
J& that some of our statesmen and neui statesmen
led many to believe a
quarter of a century ago was justified
by tne ullegeu attitude of Cliarleston
toward most of the balance
of tho Stule. Rut whatever the reason
that prompted many in tne neyUuy
of Tllluiuuism to oppose everything
Chariest oiiian, it will not now
puss current, if u Charleston ciusen
offers for btalo otllee the ursi
thing to do is to und out whether
Ao is bettor lltted tor the oiik-o tliun
his opponent, mid If ho Ih, tlio next
thing to do is to volo for him.
Charleston is un much u part ot
South Carollnu us Columbia, Spurtunburg,
Greenville or York' and the
uiun who refuses to vote for u candidate
simply because lie is from
that city offers vloloneo to his own
good Judgment.
If Prank It. McNinch is the only
citizen of Churlotte, with its bo.uuo
population, qualified to till the olllee
ot muyor of that eity, as one may
t conclude from reading the comment
ot the Charlotte News on his propo-,
attion to resign from the olllee and
ntako his home elsewhere, the sensible
thing for the Charlotte people
to do Is to ubolish the olhcu ot
muyor. Whoro there is only one .
man with the capacity to till a public
ofttvo, the community Is bettei
oft without that olllee. Nor shouhi
the Mecklenburg members of tin
I-eglslnturo ho Influenced by the suggestion
qf The News that they pass
a bill for tho benefit of Mayor McNinch
increasing the salary of the
Charlotte mayor to $7,600 a year.
Tho Job isn't worth the money. So
Car an report rocs Mayor McNlnch
makes an acceptable head of the
Charlotte government, but there are
plenty more at home tike him. ami
tho chances are that if he should
resign the city would tlml another
citizen to till the otllee quite as well
as he is tilling it.
In more than one instance the
people of South Carolina have been
fortunate in lucent years that nothing
has happened to the governor
to creato a vacancy to be lilted by
the mu(cession of the lieutenant governor.
Wo have gone along select
tng our lieutenant governors without
giving thought to the iioHsihilit>
of tho governor quitting the otllee i n
one reason or another and the vn- ;
c-ney being tilled by the mn.t we
l.ad chosen to he lieutenant govern01.
When the governor goes into
ttllco there Is no assurance inal he
will live to till out his term or that
he will not resign. This being true,
tho same discrimination should he
exorcised in the choice of the lieutenant
governor that is applied in
selecting the governor. No man too
little to ho governor should lie elected
lieutenant governor. In the I >0111ocratic
primary to tie held ten days
"hence the voters of the Shite should
weigh carefully the fitness of tho
candidates for lieutenant governor.
One mistake made by many voters
Who wish to choose the host man
for public office Is that they support
the candidate who makes lite most
plausible campaign speech and otherwise
appears to tic titteel for tho
Otllee he is seeking. Those voters .
would not knowingly vdtc for an |
Incompetent, unworthy man, yet ,
many of them, taking the candidate
; for whnt he appears to ho rather I
than for what ho Is, sometimes make
mistakes tn voting that they would
not make if thoy wore In possession
of moro Information. Tho Times
holds no brief for any candidate for
lieutenant governor, hut It is decidedly
of the opinion that one of the
candidates now in tho raco for that
office la much to ho preferred over
his opponents. Tho fisticuff between
two of tho candidates at tho York
meeting a few days ago was an unfortunate
Incident, hut not of enough
Importance to intluenco any one tn
voting for or ngnlnst either of tho
participants. But above all. South
Carolina should elect a self-rospeet?
Ing gentleman to the office of lieutenant
governor. Tho people have
pot always chosen that sort of a
man for the office because they did
not have enough Information on
Which to base a wise choice.
