WARREN FOR U. S. SENATOR -V'- ?}'< : : ; , . , ? GEORGE WARREN What Other# Say - About George Warren THE HAMPTON GUARDIAN EDI TORIALLY STATES. "George Warren Is a man of ability, oouragtl common sejjse and sterling worth. He is a deep student o t politi cal economy, yet understands Its I practical application. His knowledge of government affairs acquired by close study peculiarly fits liim for the office of United States Senator. ;Wc fear to express in these columns the high regard we have for George War rn as a man, as a lawyer and as a statesman. However, we can and do commend him to the people with the assurance that, in the event of his election, South Carolina will be proud of her young senator. "We are not given the power of prophecy, but knowing the man and his ability, his Ideas of government, his respect for the Constitution, his beliefs in the doctrines of Calhoun, J we are convinced tihiat George Warren, by the possession of those qualifica tions and by the power' of his person- j ality will be elected. Our State can not afford to refuse the services of such a man?1 WARREN FOR SENATOR George Warren of Hampton has . been growing in popular favor since ?his entry in to the race for the tfnited States Senate. A few weeks ago. tha .prediction was (freqly indulged that Senator Smith would defeat his three opponents in the first race. Now it is generally conceded that; there will be a second race and that George Warren will be in It. In a second race with Senator /Smit*h, the advantage will be with 1 Warren. r'~ The boasted Smith strength Is fast j dwindling* nwny. 1 It has largely been 1 a myth. ? 1 Not all the farmers are Smith men. This l? the day of the young man. Warren is young, but ?he has a re cord of achievement behind him. Smith is no longer young, but there & little to which he can pdint, de ^)ite his long years In the * United States Senate, as 'his accomplishment for the public good. ? Aiken Standard. STATE'S RIGHTS. r There can be no doubt but that even the casual student of political history (?an doteet that the federal govern ment' is* steadily Infringing ? upon state's rights. Particular instances ' are pointed out by Mr. Warren, candi date for the United States SeMiafce. We1 are among tliose Who do not like this J idea. The states srtiould be free to regulate their own affairs. The nine-1 teenth amendement of the constitution j ?f the United States stands a mighty j goo<l chance of becoming operative. Only one more state is required to ! ratify the woman's suffrage amend-, ment, and the Governor of Tennessee has called a special session of the leg islature in his state which will con-1 slder this amendment." If Tennessee * ratifies the nineteenth amendment! then we will toare woman's suffrage and the individual states cannot help themselves. We believe each state Rbonld be allowea"to regulate this mat ter independent of the federal gorern m?nt. If the people of this state wknt woman suffrage they should foe allowed to adopt it for themselves. If they are opposed to It they should not have it thrust upon thorn. In various ways the federal government Is Infringing upon state's rights and the tendency in this direction should be checked.? -The teree Messenger. TIIE COLUMBIA RECORD SAID. "The manly conduct of George War ren, of Hampton, must commend itself to the people of South Carolina. The generous conduct which he has dis played will merit for him the respect a}nd the approbation of the i>eople of his State." A Few Quotations From Speeches Made by Warren States Sights.? "Because I stand for the Declaration of Independence, be cause I advocate the Constitution of Jefferson, because I repeat the identi cal words df Calhoun, because I dare raise my voice in behalf of the identi cal principle for which my father fought in the GO's the doctine of States Rights, I am unjustly charged with being opposed to prohibition. ? Democratic Convention at Hampton. "I stand squarely for economy ; I believe in reorganization and coordi nation of governmental burdens and departments; encouragement of those things whiclf tend to get congress back to a pre-war basis of expenditure of the people's money should be given; our present tax laws should be amend ed to remove fe&iusfefe vrtjA&h. Me. oppressive to the ])eople and indus try." ? Attitude expressed in Columbia, Labor. ? "The voiee of Labor is, de manding fair consideration, fair de cisions fairly arrived at, of all propos als which concern Labor. The in sidious impression that Labor in poli tics will demand more than that Is very properly resented by both Labor and those who seek its vote. It does not ask discrimination in favor of Labor, but rather than it be not dis criminated against. } My attitude may be summarized by the words *F6ir and Friendly." ? Yemassee, Labor Day. Farming Interests. ? "I endorse the organization, activities and accom ppisthments pf the American Cotton Association and have pledged my co operation. It has accomplished more for the farmer In six months tham the Congress has dope for farming inter ests in ten years." ? S. C. Cotton Association, Hampton 1 Branch, at Hampton.. OUR COUNTRY. x One of the South Carolina candi dates for Utiited States seuiate this |year Is calling the attention of our people to one of the most vital is sues that confronts the American peo ple today. It is the issue Of .states* rights against a centralized federal govern ment. State sovereignty is absolutely neces sary to (protect, the rights and liber ties of the people under oilr form of government The founders of this re public so Teeognlzed it and it is ap parent now. No one will deny -that,. our govern ment Is becoming more centralized in Washington. The sovereignty of the states Is gradually being undermined and taken away. ' * ?

Washington, ? July 81. ? Authority for the railroads of the country to In crease their revenues by approximately one bllltau ?nd a half dollars wan granted today by the Interstate Com merce Commission. Freight rateawlll be advauced about oue-thlrd, passenger fare* one-fifth and Pulman eh urges ?uu' half. Coastwise and Inland steamship lines and electric railway eoroptttti** alao were granted jwriulsslon to increase tflveir freight rales In proportion to the increase granted to the railroad serv ing the same territory. No estimate of <the aggregate amount to ceeutt from these advances has been made. The new rated which are to coutlnue In force until Murch 1, 1922, will be come effective uikui Vive day a' notj.ee by the carriers to the commission, and ?the publle. and they must l?e tn oper 'utlon before January 1. Since the gov ernment guarantee expires September 1 the carrlfres are exacted to bond every effort to put the adwmces Into effect by that date. Increases granted by the counui&slop are designed to offset tho $000,000,000 wage advance awarded by the Rail road Labor Hoard flttd* to iprovlde tfoe 6 per cent net income of the aggre gate v:flue of the railroad properties as permitted under the transportation act. The * aggregate Value of all of the railoads was estimated by the commission at '$18,000,000,000 as against a value of $150, 040.000; 000 given by the carriers. The 20 ]>er cent Increase in p^sset;> ger fa re?, excess baggage cha rges and piilk .transportutlon rates a^d the 50 per cent surcharge on Pullman fares authorized by the commission will be general the country over. Freight rates Increases will vary according to territory V\vlth '40 per cent ..la the Bast; 25 i>er cent in the South ; 35 per cent In the'^Vest? that is, from tho Mississ ippi jiiver to -tiro Rocky Mountains--' and 25 per cent in tne mountain-Pa cific territory ? from the east of the Rockies to the Pacific coast, not In cluding Alaska. ^ The commission lin Its 36- page de cision made no attempt to compute the amount of increased revenues the car riers would receive by reason of the rate advances. It did say, however, thajt the increases were justified in view of the raipldly changing condi tions as to prices and the, necessity for providing adequate transportation fa cilities during and after the period of readjustment From figures submitted to the com mission by tihe Carriers when thei r ap plications for the increases were made it was unofficially estimated that the apportionment of the advance would work out fit about $1,285,300,000 on freight $238,800,000 oh passenger ; $43,-" 600,000 on Pullman $4,500,000 on milk and $1,400,000 excess baggage charges. The increased charges on frleght alone were estimated as equalling a levy of $12 per capita per annum for every man, woman and child iu the country, basing the nation's population at 105,000,000 for 1020 recently made by the census bureau.
