ELECTION MUDDLE
IN CHARLESTON
^ ~
Another election muddle in Charleston
developed yesterday when allegations
were made of fraudulent
voting in the special election held
November 8 on the question of the
city taking over the port terminals
and issuing $2,500,000 in bonds to buy
and maintain the terminals. B. F.
McLeod of Charleston wrote a letter
to Governor Cooper on the subject.
Mr. McLeod claims that between
400 and BOO persons voted in the election
on poll tax receipts which, he
charges, were dated back by the county
treasurer i?~ order that the voters
would apparently conform to the law.
These pre-dated poll tax receipts bore
the seven cents penalty, which did not
go into effect until May 15, according
to the letter, and thereby show, he
says, that the holders of such receipts
paid their tax after the date
* i i i j it..*
ior paying naa expirca ana mat, wi?y
Were dated back to March 15, in most
cases, by the county treasurer.
Mr. McLeod furnished the information
to the governor and the chief executive
turned the letter, together
with a number of affidavits regarding
improper voting, over to the comptroller
general for investigation. Walter
E. Duncan, comptroller general,
said yesterday that he would go to
Charleston Monday to investigate personally
the county treasurer's office
in reference to the alleged pre-dating
of poll tax receipts and any other
irregularity in connection with the
.voting in the special election. Mr.
Duncan will probably be ac<*>mpanied
by a corps of expert auditors and
after the investigation will report to
? the governor. The chief executive wiil
then determine what step he will take
in the matter, if the criarges by Mr.
McLeod are sustained by the comptroller
general's investigation.
Affidavits from managers of elections
furnishing names and addresses
of persons who voted on the poll tax
receipts that were dated March J.&,
but had the seven cents penalty, and
many having "March 15" stamped
over other dates, according to the
letter of Mr. McLead, were also sent
T&g > Am U*.i ulaind
that several hundred voters procured
poll tax receipts after the comptroller
general had checked the books of the
county treasurer, this being August 5.
Mr. McLeod is said to have opposed
the purchase of the terminals by the
city and the difference of the 400 or
500 votes might materially effect the
result of the election, which carried
for the purchase of the terminals and
the issuance of the bonds. The supreme
court has ruled several times
that no person is qualified to vote in
any election whatever prior to six
months after December 31, when
taxes are supposed to have been paid
unless he can show that all taxes, including
poll, have been paid on or before
December 31. In the recent
I Chester annexation case the court declared
the election void because a
number of persons not paying theit

been allowed to vote. The court opinion
speaks of "six months after December
31 had been allowed to vote
The court orvnion speaks of "si?
months after December 31" and it if
not known what effect the voting in
November, more than six months after
December 31, would have when
taxes are paid after the date prescribed
by law.?The State.

JAPAN'S POSITION F
BRINGS DISCUSSION
Washington, Nov. 18.?Japan's request
for an increase in the propor- cj
tional strength of her navy may lead P
speedily to some pl~.;u talk across the b,
council table of the arms conference.
The American delegation stands
ready to dispute stubbornly any material
change from the ratio set forth Q]
in the American plan. That ratio it 0
was emphasized by highest authorities
today reflects existing proportional ^
strength and so can not be altered 'a
without upsetting a fundamental principle
of the whole plan.
In effect, the American figures ^
would give Japan six fighting ships to j
every ten owned by the United States Q
and every ten owned by Great Britain.
The Japanese have hinted but never
IV
formally announced,. that they want ^
seven to ten. The naval experts of
the United States really believe that
live to ten is nearer the proper allotmnt.
Great Britain has accepted the ^
six to ten plan in principle, but her ^
spokesmen have been silent about the
new Japanese proposals. p
If it turns out that the "slightly
greater" naval force suggested for ?
Japan by Admiral Baron Kato only C(
amounts to the addition of one battle
cruiser to the Japanese figures then
emphatic objections of the American ^
delegates may not be deemed neces- .
sary. But if the suggestions comprehends
a real change in proportion it .
is declared on authority that a determined
diplomatic struggle will result.
The clear delineation of the Ameri- *
can position on this subject served s'
to turn attention again to naval armaments
today while the Far Eastern
negotiations were at a standstill to
permit the powers to work out details
of their policy. Neither the conference
nor any ?of its committee met
during the day but the nine delega- s
tions will assemble tomorrow in ex- 8
ecutive sessions to resume their discussions
of the Far East.
Coincident with the . disclosure of
the American view point on naval reduction
it was revealed today that c
the administration does not propose jt
there is one, to the nations repre- t
sented in the Washington conference, f
Whether a treaty or simply an understanding
would come out of the nego- ?
tiations administration officials would
not predict, but it was said that whatever
the form of agreement the other
interesed nations would be asked to
participate.
Should no treaty requiring senate
confirmation result, it was said to be
the belief of the administration that <
1 the whole armament reduction pro- j
gram could be put through without
1 congressional action. International j
"understanding" of policy does not require
the apprval of congress and
officials say the proposed scrapping
' of warships could be accomplished un'
der general authority already pos- t
1 sessed by the executive. ^

Sheffield, Enpr., Nov. 18.?Lord
[aldane, who was in Germany a week
r so ago says he found the Germans
'orking hard. They had put aside all
Noughts of armaments because they
I'alized that armaments did not pay.
Thev realized, however, that some
rung that would pay was the appliution
of the science which they had
earned before the war and which
(iey would have applied in peace if
(icy had not been interfered with by
small military party.
Now they were determined to be
rce from interference of the military
arty. The output of scientific books
ad become enormous. All classes of
ieople were working hard, and unmploynient
hardly existed.
They had 110 money except paper,
which had badly depreciated, and to
estore their normal condition they
tad found work by taking in other
copies washing. He said he saw a
urge number of ships from Tyneside
eing repaired in German dockyards
ecause German dockyards could do
he work cheaper than the British,
workers.

For SulTrinff Russians
Nashville, Tenn., Nov. 17.? Responding
to an urgent appeal from
Herbert Hoover that Southern Baptists
aid in the relief of Russia by
furnishing food and clothing to the
suffering Baptists of that country.
Dr. J. F. I ?ovo, secretary of the Foreign
Mission Board of the Southern
Baptist Convention, announces that
board has set in motion machinery
that he hopes will result in the provision
of a shipload of clothing for
the suffering Russian Baptists within
the next few weeks, by the local
chur*?hes of '.he South. The American
relief administration will transport
the clothing without cost and will furnish
food from its supplies at actual
cost.
It has been impossible heretofore
for the Baptists of America to got
into intimate contact with their spiritual
kinsmen of Russia, of whom
there were 1,000,000 at the outset of
the war, hut the decision of Southern
Baptists to enter Russia as a mission
field has heightened the1 interest of
the local churches of this section in
the welfare of all the Russian people.
Last winter Southern Baptists sent
$100,000 worth of clothing and a similar
amount in cash to the suffering
families of Hungary, a new mission
field, and inasmuch as the number of
people affected and the intensity of
the suffering are much greater in Russia
than they c cor were in Hungary
and other countries of Central Europe,
Secretary Love hopes the response
of Southern Baptists to tin
appeal of Russia will be correspond
ingly larger.
Due to the agreement at the outsei
of the 75 Million Campaign that m
special collections would be conducte<
during the life of the campaign foi
objects not included therein, the For
eign Mission Board will not make ai
appeal for cash for relief work, but i1
individuals and churches desire 01
their own volition to make cash offerings
the board will gladly receive tin
funds and purchase food supplies fo
starving Russians through the Amer
ican Relief Administration. Mr
Hoover's agents say $15 will save th
life of a Russian child from now unti
the fall of 1U22.
Directions for assembling and for
warding the clothing that is asked fo
Russia will be issued by Dr. Ix>v
through the regular denominationa
channels.

Letter From Union Boy
San Pe.lro, Cal., Nov. 12, 1921.
I ucar air. winor.
N'o doubt you will be somewhat
sr. prised to hear from me, and wonde.*
who I am. but 1 won't tell you
until I finish this letter. I haven't been
in old Union since June, 1019; have
been roaming over the globe, from
Hampton Roads, Va., to the Canal,
then up the West coast from Los Angeles
to Seattle and Victoria, Honolulu,
T. 11., and Valparaiso, Chile. I
will tell you some time about the wonderful
scenes and places I've seen;
alio the queer people of the different
countries.
Gee, but 1 sure did get the blues
right today; was talking to some of
the boys from home and they were
telling me nb< ut how things had
changed and about friends back in
the old home city. I heard that one
. of the young ladies from Union was
. visiting in Los Angeles, California,
and that there were some of the boys
fr<>m home right here. And I got to
thinking about home and, gee, I got
the "Home Again Blues" right away.'
I saw young Godshall about an hour
ago. Certainly was somewhat sur
prised to meet him and, oh, yes, 1
want you to do me just a favor. Thank*
the teachers at the U. H. S. for me. 1
j certainly ought to. 1 didn't hardly
realize what it meant then, but experience
is a dear school; fools will
loam in no other.
P Sorry 1 don't know of anything
j. more, so will close.
Yours for a friend,
A Blue Jftcket.
