The Chronicle’s preference from the start was the nomination of McAdoo because in view of his past public record, we believed he stood for the principles that are closely associated with and essential to the life of pro- passive Democracy today. No man has ever been more unfairly treated and fought than was McAdoo by the New York gang, and though easily the choice of the majority of the con vention, he could not he nominated— New York had decreed it.

Dial for re-eleCtibn, has been organized by a number of interested friends in laiurens. Other similar clubs throughout the county arc planned, and the next few days should find such an organization per fected in Clinton. These clubs are to work in conjunction with the Dial headquarters in Columbia and will prove a valuable factor in the ap proaching primary. It ia expected that the idea will he taken up in.other counties and gradually spread over the state. The Chronicle heartily endorses the formation of a Dial club in Clinton and it should have an enthusiastic membership. As we have stated be fore, Senator Dial’s record in our opinion, clearly entitles him to re- election, and the citizens of his own county should take the initiative in pressing forward his claims. He has made a capable and efficient mem ber of the United States senate, and his ripe intelligence, varied experience and knowledge of the great issues of the day, fully justify his return to Washington. Let Clinton fad in line and do its part by organizing a Dial club. U will have a wholesome and beneficial ef fect over the state. MR. HARVEY’S ACQUIT A L The news of the acquital of former Governor Wilson G. Harvey on charg es of violation of the state banking laws in connection with the failure of the Enterprise Bank of Charleston, of which he was president, will be received with unusual interest throughout the state by his many friends. The jury was only out a few minutes before returning a unanimous verdict that exonerated the former governor of the charges and the. hit- LbuL-haa lawn waged again*! : En Passanti! ♦ W. W. H. There are more ways than one to make a husband work. The other day Joseph Cabral of Oakland, Calif., re mained in bed end told his wife he was too ill to work. That old story wouldn't go, and after demanding that he go to work, which he refused to do, she poured a kettle of boiling hot water over him. Cabral is now in the hospital undergoing treatment for a number of severe burns. The moral to lasy man is to' keap their wives and the kettles separated. Jerk*! bitter opposition of the “wets,” cou pled with the injection of the Klan and Catholicism into the fight But regardless of our past preferences, the time is now here for ua all to unite and march forth victory-facing, and all who name the name of true Democrats, should rally to our nomi nees and follow their leadership. Regarding Davis, David Lawrence, telegraphing from Madiaon Squire Garden immediately after the nomina tion, had the following to say of Democracy’s choice: “Genuine joy and satisfaction rose from the entire assembly of delegates ter the tion as John W. Davis, of West Vir ginia, was nominated unanimously for the presidency. At last every state’s banner was in line. Left to themselves for the first time in three weeks, uninfluenced by seasoned poli ticians who had brought about the un fortunate deadlock between McAdoo and Smith, it became apparent after only three ballots today that John W. Davis was the real first choice of the convention. “As a campaigner on the stump, as x lawyer, as a disciple of Woodrow Wilson, as a ’safe and sane’ man on labor and prohibition, Davis was hail ed as a great candidate who might at last restore harmony in the party. Certainly the delegates themselves be haved after the nomination as if they never had quarreled. It was such a remarkable contrast to the struggle of the last ten days that it was wel comed even by the galleries with tre mendous applause and cheering. “John W. Davis as former ambas sador to Great Britain became a de votee of the principle of international cooperation. On the subject of the League of Nations he has repeatedly expressed himself but the Democratic | people.

The things that “grows on a fel ler” ain’t always an object of dread .... unless it’s tobacker or whis- key—-or somethin’ that flies to his head. It could be—a passel of whis kers—a covey of wrinkles or warts, for, the things that grow* on a feller must be reckoned as different sorts .... But—when It’s the habit of sav in', or the eatin' or regular meals, or—of takin' one's breakfast at sun up, no matter how lasy he feels! It could be a hunger for readin’ or solv in’ the problems of life, like raisin’ the boys ss they should be, or of get- tin’ along with the wife. ... It might as well be somethin' noble as some thin' disruptive and bad, for the things that can grow on a feller should render him tranquil Aid glad! In the capable way of selectin’ it’s resky to jedge with a whis—fer, the idea that grows on a feller, will make him the man that he is. SENATOR DIAL’S fS r AMEM V* CAMPAIGN A great many people hesitate to tackle various tasks in life because of fear. They feel that they will fall and for this lack of confidence, they don’t make the effort. Others make an hones( trial and oftentimes fail, but to their credit they make the ef fort. We need to overcome fear, to realize that it is nothing against one to fall down flat—but, to He there is disgrace. (Anderson Tribune) Despite all attempts to muddy the waters, and to distract attention from his enviable record in the United States senate, the Hon. N. B. Dial is making a frank, clean-cut campaign for re-election, with apparent pros pect that his stewardship will be ap proved by the people of South Caro lina, and that he will be returned to office in the November election. The Tribune has not been disposed to take sides in this fight, and has the very greatest respect for Mr. THE GOOD COOK BUYS GOOD GROCERIES The thorough housewife knows that good cooking does not start in the kitchen.

The evidence presented at Allendale did not substantiate the charge, whibTan analysis by the defense of the charac-. ter of some of the witnesses against Mr. Harvey showed that their records were questionable on a number of points. It always appeared to us that Mr. Harvey was unfairly attacked and his actions, improperly question ed. H is bank, like many others, was called upon to pass through trying times and it coi^ld not stand the pre»- sure once it was in ah embarrassing financial condition. But there was no effort on ths part of its president, as the jury's verdict now shows, to cheat or take advantage of ita deposi tors or the public. As a citizen, Mr. Harvey has always been above repute, and as the governor of South Caro lina for an unexpired term, he inade a wholesome impression aa a chief executive and left a record well de serving of emulation. His frienda everywhere will be delighted to learn of his exoneration by the Allendale jury. 4- THE DEMOCRATIC NOMINEE There seems to bo general satisfac tion over the country, especially in the West and South, with the action! of the Democratic convention in nam ing Joha W. Davis of .West Virginia, aa the standard bearer to lead the Democratic party this fall. Hit chances of election are bright, and vriU strengthen with the days ahead.

P. Mor gan and Company, and the New York Telephone Company, and for the Plate Glass Blowars’ Union, the Irish Free State, Eugene V. Debs, and ‘Mother’ Jones of West Virginia, the labor agi tator. He has been sought by all classes for his legal ability, and until recently was preaident of the Ameri can Bar Association. “As a member of congress, Mr. Davis was chairman of the judiciary committee and'very popular. When made solicitor general by' President Wilson, congress promptly confirmed his nomination. The late Chief Jus tice White said of Davis that he was the most brilliant lawyer who had *vef practiced in his time before the supreme Court of the United States.” EVERY WOMAN SHOULD ENROLL gun against the Senator when the campaign opened. In politics, game is always to fight and nag at 1 the strongest man. The new dormitory and gymnasium at the Presbyterian College will soon be completed and two more attractive buildings will not be found in the state. The dormitory is to be “chris tened” this fall when the Presbyter ian preachers of the state are to be entertained here.
