NTATJC CAMPAIGN TALK
Matter of j\bolbdiiiiK County to (Vtuitly I
Cttvatix Kerr i\ in* Attention.
,TV 4 ;
i '< >1 ii ml >tu , s. <\, Auk. ? That the
<-ounty-to county canvass, which has
been conducted every two. years Just
preceding the J^eMiocratlc primary In
thin state should he abolished in re
viving attention in Movent 1 quarters
outside of political circles. ',There 1m a
feeling to judge from many exprewjriont,
thai lliv i?lennlal "circus," an it lias
hfcOii dubbed, h|is outgrow n its useful
ness and that, its continuation only
Korven to keep alive factional feeling.
A great many pofttlclaiiH strenuous
ly oppose any suggestion looking to tiie
eliniinatlon of the couut y to county
tour and declare that it 1h the only way
the "poor man" has of reaching the
people with Ills views. Home of these
admit privately that the requirement*
for entering tiie canvass ought to he
more stringent and a few of them Ipive
suggested that It would la* a good thing
to require that u candidate must file ft
petition' signed by a certain number of
voters, say !i i>er cent, before he could
enter t lie eanvuss. This, they claim,
would do away with the running of
Candidate* Who have no earthly chance
of election and whose vote each year is
so neglltfUe as udt to amount to any
thing. Hut they Insist that it would
novur do to abolish the "circus ring''
because they asseVt it would sound the
end of any but rich candidates.
This is not agreed in by all the poli
ticians and by . a great many jieople.
Those opi>osod to this Canvass empha
sise the Incentive to pergonal abuse and
the opportunity it affords for the cam
paign to degenerate Into vilification apid
the Impossibility of the dlscusslou ofi
issues. Not only tills, they say, but the
crowding of the lists affords bo little
time to the individual candidate that
about all they can do is to state their (
name and the office for which they are
running and then give away to the
next, and so on. all day until the pa
tience of .the voter Is exhausted and
ho goes away no wiser as to platforms
than when he came. Even if the vilU
flcatlon incentive and opportunity were
absent ? which probably a majority of
the people will say is not ? the fact
that the individual candidate does not
have enough time to discuss issues,
makes it, in the opinion of many, ab
surd to have the canvass. ? ' . ?*
In the last state campaign party
there were about. twenty-seven candi
dates* for the various ntate offices, and
even allowing them ten minutes ? and
many of them had less thafl half that
? meant an all-dk^'s ? speaking,
wearying alike to voters and candi
dates. * ,
The strenousity of the canvass dount
less keeps many men from running for
office, for many object to being dragged
around frota county to county like act
ors in a show, placed on exhibition and
then hurried off to the next county
seat and this for forty-four days. The
canvass comes right in the iplddle of
the hottest of the summer and the
strenuous life and physical discom
forts has broken down men In some In
stances and very few go through the
campaign without some -aliment:
*
?v South Carolina is the only state in
the union which has a pre-election can
vass under the party regulation. Oth
er states let each candidate run tyls
own campaign and there are many in
South Carolina who want to sep this
state do away with the staging every
two years of a ring of the aspirants
for office and sending them ont to play
one-day engagements at every county
. seat In the state.
It fa1*. believed by many who have
made a" close study of this matter and
who have no political ambitions that
It would materially lessen the cost of
a campaign to do away with the can
vass. The candidate* have to spend
money for railroad fare and board and
this makes a considerable lteny which
advocates of the movement to abolish
?* .
the canvass point ' out . would enable
poor men Ito run for office where they
?re now barred by this terrific expense
of making the canvass. They believe
also that It would do away- with- fac
tionalism and personal abuse and
would mean that the candidates would
discuss issues and not one another so
much. " ' v
It has been stated that less than one
fourth of the voters attend the cam
paign meetings anyway and that by
eliminating the canvass there would lie
opportunity for more quiet, sober Judg
ment on the part of the voters and
less chance that they would be Incited
to factionalism and bitterness. A
great many believe that it would l?c
a. constructive and forward step to abol
ish the canvass. i

Charles Gurth, sentenced for life to
Joltot in 1893, have been paroled nn-j

but came out In pop-eyed amusement.
