Mr. Edward G. Lowry sends to his paper, the Philadelphia Public Ledger (Rep.) an article highly commending the candidacy of Anna Dickie Olesen, the Democratic nominee for the senate in .Minnesota. Mr. Lowry expresses the hope that the voters of Minnesota will send Mrs. Olesen to the senate, saying that she will do the senate good and that it needs her. "Sooner or later there will be a woman senator," says Mr. Lowry, "and the innovation could not be inaugurated more happily than by seizing the present opportunity." "Jeanette Rankin and Alice Robertson," says Mr. Lowry, "have not appreciably affected the manners, methods, color or practices of the house," but, he adds, "there is war rant for expectation that Mrs. Olesen in the senate would be another story; that she would make her presence felt." .Mr. Lowry tells of a speech by Mrs. Olesen at a Jackson day dinner in Washington where she more than held her own with such Democratic orators as Mr. Bryan, the late Champ Clark, and J. Bruce Kremer. "Mrs. Olesen's election," Mr. LowI ry concludes, "would freshen the j senate and quicken interest in its j proceedings. That is worth while. We nev#>r have ihad a fair trial of what a woman could do in a legislative body. Maybe Mrs. Olesen could *re[ form' the senate." The New York World says editorially of Mrs. Olesen's candidacy: I "Mrs. Olesen, judging by her record, would unquestionably be found far I less out of place in the senate than some men who are already there. * * * There are many Scandanavians, a race which has favored the entrance of women into public affairs. \nd, of course, the women will vote. Mrs. Olesen has at least a chance." For Serious Consideration. A letter from former Governor Blease to J- W. Tolbert, dated May I 21st, 1921, printed elsewhere in this issue should receive the serious and careful consideration of every Demorvat in Carolina. 'n his splendid address in Wiilisj tnn last weeh Congressman Byrnes stated that the Dyer Anti-Lync.'i BUI was pushed through congress for political reasons on account of the large negro vote in many northern congressional districts. It has been very well established that the word has gone out that the negroes must vote in the general election if South Carolina is to have her full representation at the next National Republican convention. Is a man who flirts with the leader of the Republican party of this state and gives him advice, aid and comfort, the man to receive the votes of white Democrats? Is a man who says that he rejoiced in the recent election of a Republican president, giving as his only reason that he hated the only really successful leader the party has -had in years, worthy of white Democratic votes? Is a man who says that our boys fought for nothing in France worthy of the soldier vftte of South- Carolina? Will loyal Democrats of South Carolina stand idly by and allow their stricken leader referred to as a lead~f Vion^hmon' CI Ui iicuvitiiivi* These q-uestions are for the voters of South Carolina to decide and their decision will largely determine whether we'shall have a pure Democratic party in the future. Woodrow Wilson was not a candidate in 1920 neither was the candidate of that year his choice. James M. Cox was the candidate selected by the representatives of the entire Democratic party from every state of the Union. To rejoice at his defeat is to rejoice at the defeat of the Democratic party. ?Williston Way.

"1 noticed that i you did not join with the others when they insisted that I should win tomorrow." "No," replied Mr. Pipp. "I could, n't agree with them. I don't think , you will have plain sailing. I think , you have a fair fighting chance, but only a fair one." t?. o ' f nrli o f vaii e? JD U L Lilac \> aju t ? uai ; uu oaiu Saturday." "Xo; if the election had been held Saturday you would have won. But today is .Monday and it's a different story." "Do you mean that you think the Wilson letter?" The Wilson Letter. "In my estimation," interrupted Mr. Pipp, "the Wilson letter cost you 10,000 votes. You could spare that many. There were people in Michigan who had forgotten all about party lines; they only remembered that you were a candidate and thej wanted to pay you the -highest honor they rt/-?n 1 <3 TVi a Wilenn lottar iortoH V/UU1U* x U\^ H JIXUVU 4VVVV* J V4 MVVk 1 them up. It reminded them that j they were Republicans and that you are running as a Democrat. I would wager that letter cost you their vot-1 es. You could spare 10,000 votes, but you can't spare many more." "Then you think the Hughes statement?" "TUe Hughes statement will work more havoc than anything else could have done. People will not have time to learn the truth. * If I could have gotten a reply out in time for it to reach every voting precinct it would have helped some. Up-state and in the rural districts they won't see tomorrow's papers, but you can be perfectly sure that they'll get word of the Hughes report. If they don't see it themselves some one will pass it along. The gossip that you're keeping a German working in your cylinder department will reach them. Coming from a man of Mr. Hughes's prominence, it will carry weight. I think I know politics and I think I know that last-minute rumors often turn the tide. In my opinion you have a fair fighting chance tomorrow. You may pull through by a narrow margin. You probably will lose by between 5,000 and 10,000 votes." The first election reports gave the state to Commander Newberry by 7,567 votes. The official recount, some eighteen months later, changed the figures somewhat, but not the result. Mr. Pipp had been right. Far Reaching Results. The results of that contest were I far reaching. If Henry Ford had won there would have been an equal number of Republicans and Democrats in the senate and the vice president, a Democrat, would have cast the deciding vote where there was a tie. Moreover, the Republicans would not -have had the chairmanships of all the committees. Finally, but for the Republican majority of two in the senate,, the league of nations might have been endorsed. The many good Americans who are opposed to the league of nations feel that it was fortunate for the country that Commander Newberry was elected. Many cithers, firm believers in the league, regard the out come of the .Michigan campaign as a defeat, not alone for Henry Ford, but for the hope of permanent peace. Certainly the whole nation, perhaps the whole civilized world, was involved in that contest. It was not until a short time ago, on May 2, 1921, that the case was finally disposed, of by the decision of the United States supreme court at Washington, which set aside the conviction of Senator Newberry in the Michigan district federal court and declared unconstitutional the corrupt practices act under which he had been indicted. / There are those who say that Mr. Hughes never made the statement attributed to him, and that he would not have stooped to such campaign methods had he been aware of the Republican committee's plan. "The statement was held back until the last minute so tnat .\ir. nugues ?uuiu not have an opportunity to deny it," they argue. Relieved at Defeat. His defeat brought to Henry Ford, no doubt, a feeling of relief. He had made the best fight any candi- I date could make. He was surprised and hurt by the eleventh-hour methods of the Republican organization. For himself his conscience was clear; he had fought a clean fight and had not stooped to underhand methods. Long before the votes were recounted and the official election figures filed he had received several citations from the United States war department which were much more to him than a seat in the United States senate. The citation that gave him the ? i ^ *<" ViorAmitVi mosi pieasui c is pnuitu ^?itu. "To Ford Motor company, Detroit, Michigan: "In accordance with the recomt mendation of the director of air service, a certificate of merit has been j sent to you under separate cover. | "The citation by the director of air service is as follows: "Tbis company produced 3,y50 j complete liberty-12 motors of unusi uallv good quality. They also pro! duced all cylinder forgings used by all plants in the manufacture of liberty motors, and they invented and developed special machinery for this purpose. This plant was 100 per cent, on war work. "The chief of ordnance also made similar recommendation and citation: "It is very gratifying to me to be enabled to transmit this visible recognition of patriotic war service. "GEORGE W. BUFF, "Assistant Chief of Staff." Did all He Could. This proved that Henry Ford, in his own field, had done all that any living man could do for his country. Without doubt he had been the medium of saving the lives of many soldiers. The strangest thing about this senate race was that Mr. Ford was not a Democrat. He made the race for senator because he believed in the principles for which President Wilson was standing. He was and is a Republican. With the exception of that one campaign, and the time when he stood for the reelection of Woodrow Wilson, he has always voted the Republican ticket. Yet 'he was the storm center of one of the bitterest political battles that has ever been waged.?Sarah T. Bushnell. Eulogy on Man's Best Friend. The address was made years ago in an old town of north Missouri, where a man had brought suit for I $200 against a neighbor who had I killed his dog. Senator Vest was I engaged to represent the plaintiff. He j said: I "Gentlemen of the Jury:?The | best human friend a man has in the | world may turn against him and bej come his enemy. His son or daughter that he has reared with loving j care may prove uhgrateful. Those who are nearest and dearest to us, I those whom we trust with our happij ness and our good names, may bei come traitors to their faith. The I money that a man has he may lose. It flies away from him, perhaps, when j he needs it most. A man's reputaI tion may be sacrificed in a moment I of ill-considered action. The peo| pie who are prone to fall on their I - ? , 1 knees to ao us nonor wueu is with us, may be the first to throw the stone of malice when failure settles its cloud upon our heads. The one absolutely unselfish friend tihat a man can have in this selfish world, 1 the one that never deceives him, the one that never proves ungrateful and treacherous, is his dog. "A man's dog stands by /him in prosperity and in poverty, in health and in sickness. He will sleep on the cold ground where the wintry wind blows and the snow . drifts fiercely, if only he may be near his master's side. He will kiss the hand that has no food to offer. He will lick the wounds and sores that come in encounter with the roughness of the world. He guards the sleep of his pauper master as if he were a prince. When all other friends desert, he remains. When riches take wings and reputatiQn falls to pieces he is as cpnstant in his love as the the sun in its journeys through the heavens. If fortune drives his master forth an outcast in the world, friendless and homeless, the faithful dog asks no higher privilege than that of accompanying, to guard against danger, to fight against enemies, and when the last scene of all comes and death takes the master in its embrace and his body is laid away in the cold ground, no -matter if all other friends pursue their way, there by the graveside may the noble dog be found, his head between his paws, his eyes sad but opdn in alert watchfulness, faithful and true even in death." ( % His Complaint. "Confound?with all due respect to her?the woman in politics!" grumbled Constable Sam T. Slackputter, the well known sleuth of Petunia. "It used to be that an officer of the law could disport himself in his personal affairs just about as he dod-blated pleased, so long as he attended to his duties. But now, b'gorry, since the ladies of the Civic league, the Goldenrod club, and so forth, have took the ballot and used it they've got so much influence with the mayor that I hafto wear a collar and necktie on week days the same as on Sunday." His Narrow Escape. The back yard farmer rests from toil, And naught disturbs his slumbers. Because the bugs, instead of he, Dined on his green cucumbers. Now. is the time for every good farmer to come to the aid of the county fair by preparing to have gootl exhibits. . - 18 M A New Fruit. tl Hostess (to deaf old gentleman): ^ Do you like bananas?
