PAGE TWO THE CLINTON CHRONICLE, CLINTON, SOUTH CAROLINA THURSDAY, JUNE ,26, 1924 Harrison Flays Republicans In Opening Speech (Continued from Page One) two administrations such happy com parisons.” “During these little more than three years,” he said, “we have seen the present administration float along, tossed by every current, fan ned by every breeze, without purpose, program or policy. Upon a thousand issues they have hoisted the white flag of surrender.” Senator Harrison declared that nothing in “burlesque or opera bou- fee’ was comparable to the “scene recently enacted at Cleveland in the efforts of the silent Sphinx of the Potomac to exile and expatriate those Republican senators who dared to op pose his mandate. “They dared to vote an investiga tion of a number of the president’s official family and they are penaliz ed for their decency,” he said. “By every device known to trained camoufleurs, by every subtle process of legerdemain the Republican nomi nee, in true pharaisacial fashion, sought to -divorce himself from his former comrades in arms. The plan is obvious; the plot is futile. Neither the president nor his flagstaff army headed by General Butler and Ser geant Stearns can conceal the ugly fact that the Clevenland convention was the most highly organized, boss- ridden and oleaginous ever held in America. The American people will not be deceived. “The American people will know that they are dealing with a system; that even though Hanna, Quay and Penrose are dead, their spirits go marching on in the personages of the three musketeers of present-day Republicanism—Butler, Stearns and Slemp.” Turning to a discussion of the Mel lon tax proposal, Senator Harrison asserted that it was conceive in the interest of privilege. “What is this melon that Mellon sought to cut'?” he asked. “It would have given 1,200 of the 3,585,985 in come tax payers in America 51 per cent of the total reduction.” The temporary chairman declared under the leadership of Simmons in the Senate and Garner in the House, the Democratic tax reduction propo sal triumphed, “not because we were numerically strong, but because we were assuredly right.” Comparing the foreign policies of the American government under Pre sident Wilson and the Harding-Cool- 1 idge administration Senator Harri son declared that the Wilson policy was “definite, wise and brave; the other vascillating, halting and weak.” “It is the difference,” he said, “be tween a keynote and a keyhole policy of statesmanship.” ' Commending President Harding for his proposal that America adhere to the World Court, Senator Harri son said that President Coolidge had pledged himself to carry out Mr. Harding’s policies and that yet from the day he assumed office he had made “only a bow” in that direction. Senator Harrison declared that It ery and punish election frauds. “We will go t<y the relief of dis tressed agriculture and adopt such policies and pass such laws and re store permanently the purchasing power of the farmer’s dollar. “We will adopt "a progressive re clamation policy. “We will pursue the same high course that has ever inspired the leaders of democracy, unterrified by those Who threatened to destroy, un moved by those who seek selfishly to control. “Neither the cries of radicalism nor the threats of conservatism will swerve us from our fixed purpose. Democracy is the right way. It is the party that offers the safe middle course, patronizing no ‘isms’ and pay ing tribute to no extreme.” “Ladies and gentlemen of the con vention, may I say in closing that this is a Democratic year. "Victory is within our grasp if we but reach out for it. Let us remember that too much is at stake for the hideous form of friction to frown upon this con vention. Our guns and all our guns against the common enemy. Nothing must happen here to divide our coun cils or dampen our ardor. The fires hope of the people lies in the action of this convention. There must be no sulking; there can be no mutiny. Winning is not wicked. Strategy is no sin. Far better is it for the Amer ican people and the future of the Democratic party that in this conven tion we deny to ourselves some vaunt ed expression or surrender some tem porary advantages that we may suc ceed in this campaign than tenacious ly" to persist and lose. A great duty and a high responsi bility rests upon us in this solemn and critical hour of the nation’s life. Every impulse of decency, of human j sympathy, of fair dealing, cries out and urges us on to action—militant, aggressive action. With struggling millions of men and women through out the country calling upon us and humanity everywhere exorting us on ward, the great army of Democratic men and women will not retreat be fore the enemy upon the great battle field of this campaign. We shall not fail. , “No matter who may be the choice of this convention, we will rally around our leader, clad in the armor of a righteous cause, attracting to our standard all the forces of right until the flag of Democracy waves triumphantly from every rampart of; the government. And as we fight' this great battle there will accom pany us the invisible presence of the fathers of Democracy. It would seem now we can hear the soft voice of sweet reasonableness coming to us from Monticello, the voice of ‘Old Hickory,’ coming across the Blue Ridge from the Hermitage, and from that historic crypt at St Albans we hear the mighty voice of Woodrow Wilson, wistfully calling to us: To you, from failing hands, we throw the torch.’ ‘Hold it high!’ ‘Hold it high!’ ‘Carry on, carry on; keep the faith, keep the faith’.” returned to control of the government the Democratic party would have “neither pets nor puppets to protect or corrupt cabinet members to cod dle.” “We will rigidly enforce the law,” he said, “whether the violator be a bloated trust magnate, a congression al bribe taker, en embezzler of the public domain, or a disreputable boot legger.” “We will readjust tariff rates and reduce transportation charges. “We will lay bare campaign briB- Beautiful Village Nedr Chicago Won’t Crow Up Winnetka la one of Chicago's most beautiful residential suburbs. If u a village that baa refused to grow up. In Its early days Its promoters made valiant efforts to accelerate its devel opment only to see Evanston on the south, Gross Point on the southwest, and even communities to the north flourish while Winnetka, the “beauti ful laud of the Potawatamlea, lan guished unnoticed. The Green Bay road was no longer an avenue of com merce. and the railroad, aside from establishing a “wooding station” to replenish the fuel supplies of Its wood- burning locomotives, aided little In the early development of the community. The Chicago fire gave Winnetka its first boom; but Its growth, until fif teen years ago, was alow. Since that time the efforts of the conservative element have been not so much to stimulate development as to restrict It. -Wliraettr bsnevwr that Its “cSief charm is its village atmosphere, a smart pseudo rusticity as an antidote for those who have to spend their working hours In the city. Wlnnetka’s streets wander shout and In and out like the country lane, leisurely streets, to be used by leisure ly people. A straight line may be the shortest distance between two points, and streets crossing each other at right angles may afford the quickest and most convenient means of communica tion; but in Wlnnetxa village there Is no need for speed. It la a haven of refuge from right-angled streets, cu bical buildings and all that they con note.

TWICE PROVEN If you Suffer backache, sleepless nights, tired, dull days and distrees- mg urinary disorders, don't experi ment Head this twice-told testi mony. It’s Clinton evidence—doubly proven. H. J. Neighbor, carpenter, 104 E. Ferguson St, says: “The continual berioing and lifting weakened my kid neys and brought on backache. When I went to pick up a timber n sharp C in caught me in the small of my ck and it was a task to straighten. My kidneys acted too frequently and tbo secretions were scanty. I had to get up many times in one- night. ] had dizzy spells and A* dull, ache in the back of my head. I bought Doan’s Pills at Rhame’s Drug Store and had relief from the first box.” (State ment given November 19, 1914). On January 23, 1922, Mr. Neighbor said: “When I used Doan’s some years ago they cured me of kidney trouble. I haven’t boon bothered since and I give Doan’s credit. I gladly confirm all I said in the past.” 60c, at all dealers. Foster-Mllbum Co., Mfrs., Buffalo, N. Y.

Sadler-Owens Pharmacy Orphanage Gets Gift From Florida The Thomwell Orphanage received a check yesterday for $855.57 from the estate of the late L. C. Demihg, of Dunedin, Fla. The gift is unspeci fied and will probably be used by the institution to aid in the installation of the contemplated refrigeration plant.

It is reported that 28 firms which used boards for local or national busi ness have taken down some or all of them; that 15 have painted out signs from rented boards, and that 18 firms are known to have given up new boards planned for the coming season. Forty-two boards havi been taken down, 46 signs have been painted out, and more than 100 have been prevent ed from going up. Special emphasis Is laid by the Glens Falls Woman’s club on keeping sign boards off Lake George highway, th« most scenic road in tho vicinity. Tho state and national advertisers have or dered their posters off this road. Must Pom on Plant The ruling that plans for publk buildings to be erected In the District of Columbia should first be submitted to Ae fine arts commission has great advantage for the city of Washing ton,” said Joseph A. Meyer, of Pitts burgh, at Washington, D. C. “It Is a regulation that will bear careful con sideration by tha authorities of tAl large cities. ”No doubt the fact that Washington bus so many large, beautiful build ings is da» to Just this regulation. Of all the dries of the United States, there Is certainly none superior to the capital In the symmetry, beauty and diversity of its large public struc tures. But to bring this condition about there must of necessity be care ful planning and insistence by author ities on tho ollminstlon of everything unsightly and purely utilitarian In the way of public buildings.” A Symmetrical TV— London piano la n relative of the American syce mors, usually Bated ns Oriental plana, says the American Tree aaeodattea ef Washington, D.
