Wofford Professor Outlines His Views
on the Importance of People Uniting
for the Sake of Progress?
Doesn't Want the Oilice at Cost of
Personal Bitterness and Hate.
Dr. John G Clinkscales, professor
\)t mathematics at Wofford college,
^ ' Spartanburg, candidate for governor
In the Democratic primary the coming
summer, has given out the following
platform in a statement to
y the people:
When any man presumes to offer
himself for any oilice in the gift of
the people ho is expected to have reav
sons therefor and it is liis duty frankly
and sanely to state tliein. The
people he would servo have a right to
"know even beforehand what ho thinks
i ' about vital matters of common good.
It has, therefore, become a custom
for candidates for public oflico to an^
nounce a "platform" in which they
af are supposed to lay down the principles
and policies they expect to advocate.
With such an announcement I now
come before the people of my native
v State, whoso history and traditions
are dear to me, and whose future
/ progress along right linos is of deep
h patriotic concern to us all. I do not
| liko to describe what I have to say as
"'my" platform, preferring "our" platform
in the thought that it expresses
the sentiments, the views, tho hopes,
tho aspirations of thousands of right
thinking people in this great commonwealth,
regardless of whether
they shall voto for me or not.
^ Measures Not Men.
I believe the time has come for
us'to have in our political life loss of
abuse of persons and more of a sane
discussion of policies and principles.
We can not think clearly for the common
good if we have in mind the do**
feating of men rather than tho proVr
( inoting of measures. Certainly for
me no ofllce is big enough to cause
me to want it at the cost of personal
\ bitterness and hate. If the campaign
closes with my opponents not more
friendly to me than when it began I
shall be greatly disappointed.
-2. 1 believe the time has also come
when we should think of ourselves as
v,> one people with common interests
and hopes, and that whatever contention!.
may have divided us in the past,
T-r we are at bottom united by too much
that belongs to us all not to see that
whoever would disrupt us into warr
ing factions, poison our sentiments
V towards ono another with suspician
and distrist, and keep stirring tho
1 unwholesome ferment of bitter class
J prejudices is an enemy to our peace,
j our prosperity, and our largest progress.
I repeat, therefore, we are
ono people, and wo must do our
thinking in terms of the largest good
to all tho people of the commonwealth
without regard to class conditions
or previous alliance of any
sort. And even should I fail of elec?
Hon, I shall count the service render
ed worth any cost if in my campaign
I shall sow the seeds that shall fruit
In a greater harmony of feeling and
purpose than wo have recently known
in South Carolina.
Harmony and Unity.
* 3 In this spirit, the spirit of harmony
and unity, the time has come
for a study of conditions in South
Carolina as they really are with a
view of applying the administrative
and legislative powers of the State to
A>, the great end of promoting the material
welfare and progress of all the
people. We are engaged in varied
tasks and labors, the tasks and labors
by which we get a living and
hope to get a little more than a living.
Our problems are thus largely
* economic and industrial in character.
\ i THey grow out of what we do in shop
and storo and office and on the farm,
and concern the happiness and progress
of our entire citizenship. The
w-orld about us, other states, is on the
big job of developing its natural ref
sources in the fullest and most profitable
manner. Aro wo on this job in
South Carolina? It seems to me that
? our duty 'ms at last come when realty
izing our common needs and gather'
ipg all the knowledge we can of what
others have successfully accomplished*
we should sot our political machinery
to work, in the most scientific
way, to advance every industrial
Interest. In saying this, I have in
f mind no special lntorest or pot
{Jf scheme, but rather I am possessed
with the conviction that we have
reached a -point In onr history when
we should begin in. the spirit of perfect
fairness to apply the most modern
methods to conditions as they are
?for example, to the gTeat question
ij of qqqitable taxation, to the efficient,
* economical administration of the
functions of government, and to the
v I betterment of both rural and urban
\ life as far as this is a matter of legis\
lation. To these ends I solemnly
\ pledge what influence I have.
Must Look Aheajl!.
i. y A
< Ul 4. But while the time has come
f for the boginning of a thoroughly
irnifiigiiiMiiMi ii inn
I scientific effort to bring out legislative
and administrative machinery up
to their full standard of efficiency,
and to develop'our material resources
for the good of all the people, wo
must remember that in the nature of
things it is only a beginning we aie
making and a preparation for future
realization. The achievement of the
great ends we have in view depends
absolutely on what we do with and
for tiie human material in the State.
This leads me to the subject that has
been with me a lifelong passion?universal
education. Democracy means,
of course, the right to vote and equal
uy Deiore me law. isut tneie is a
conception of it that goes deeper than
this, and that is, equality of opportunity,
the giving of every child the
same chance to realize his best self,
to conquer his surroundings intelligently
and therefore fruitfully, and
to serve co-operatively tho collective
Interests of his community and State.
From ray standpoint, the child as a
future member of society can only
attain these great ends by being exposed
to tho creative and developing
process called education. Tho right
to this opportunity is, in my view,
the most fundamental right in a democracy.
For we get nowhere wisely
in anything except through a trained
and enlightened citizenship. The
costliest liability of this commonwealth
is ignorance. All our progress
waits upon what wo do to banish it
forever from us. Tho reform of our
laws, the improvement in the efllciency
of our legislative and administrative
machinery, the proper regulation
of our industrial interests, the development
of our material resources, tho
all round welfare of the people?all
linger and halt till we havo trained
our citizenship to know what ought
to be done and how to do it. And
this is the task of tho school, the college,
tho university. I, therefore,
have fixed in my mind tho vision of a
jjivast army of children in a school sys1
f ft ry\ n rl m i n ] etrvrn/1 11Knt?nlltr A
I.UU1 UUUIlUlObVil GU IIUC1 ClllJ (villi i; I I 1 ciently,
an ever increasing body of
young men and young women in our
colleges and school and college consciously
moved by the high ideal of
service in the upbuilding of the
State. The common schools, the high
schools, the university, Clemson, the
Citadel, Winthrop, shall receive my
most cordial support, and I shall ask
every denominational and private institution
to join in friendly co-operation
in hedping a great commonwealth
realize its bqst life, social,
moral, political and industrial, by
properly training all the youth of the
State. This is our biggest Job and
all else is but a baffling dream till we
1 have done this.
Observe the Law.
6. In the last place, I believo it is
time for us to come to a realization
of the use and meaning of the law.
Nothing wo have is safe?life, liberty,
property?unless it bo protected by
the law. A lawless people with justive
perverted or laxly administered
are a people who are relasping into
barbaric conditions. Hut, however
easy and frequent seems the violation
of law in this State, we simply must
not remain a lawless people. What
we need is to bo called back to our
best selves and to bo reminded that
to persist in our dangerous habit of
lawlessness Is to forget what is finp
in our history and traditions and to
bo faithless to a noble future whose
guardians we are. If I am elected to
the position of chief executive of the
State, I pledge myself to try the tonic
effect of enforcing the laws without
regard to section or class. I believe
the results of such a course will be a
stuffening of our moral fibre and a
cleansing of the moral atmosphere to
such a degree as to make South Carolina
a better place to live in
and South Carolinians proud of
their citizenship. We dare not go on
as we are, and if I should imagine for
a moment that as governor I should
have to make a truce with lawlessness
of any sort, I should continue
teaching boys in the hope that they
one day would be ablo to accomplish
the reforms impossible to this generation.

A carefully worded communication '
from Gen. Carranza dealing with the '

Monday by Dr. Henry Allen Tupper (
of the International Peace Forum at
K1 Paso, Texas. Doctor Tuppor interviewed
Gen. Carranza at the request (
of Senator Morris Sheppard of Texas. .
The letter says in part:
"I possess a deep admiration for J
the American people and hold in 1
great personal esteem President
Wood row Wilson and Secretary of
State William J. Bryan. I know they
are men of the very highest mental- {
itv as well as moral and political '
aims and for that reason I think that '
their friendship toward me, and tho 1
sympathy evinced for tho principles 1
. of the Mexican Constitutionalists, are (
, not only sincere but entirely disinterested,
and are the result of the exist.
ing harmony between the aims of the
, cause which I have the honor to rep.
resent and the ideals of the Arnerij

I "As long as I am at tho head of the

such way as to hpve our international
1 obligations with foreign governments
- become more and more cordial, and
- especially with such countries as have
- their destiny linked with the politi:
cal economic and personal interests
i of Mexico.
3 "l sincerely regret that incidents
- of an international character should
haye given riso to an interpretation
not entirely in accord with my real
attitude as the chief of the Constitutionalists.
I have striven to place
myk if in the legitimate light deserved
by the high aims of our party,
without overlooking the cordial suggestions
which were offered me within
the attitude just expressed, neither
evading responsibility nor ignor3
ing diplomatic customs and usage.
1 "In surpuance of this attitude all
representations and matters called to
our attention by the United States in
1 an unofficial way have, in the past,
* received our prompt attention and I
' assure you that hereafter the samo
" attention will bo given to all representations

r and custom notwithstanding tho 'act
that wo always have deemed it preferr
able to avoid responsibility being

"I can conceive no better evidence

ship which wo bear towards tho Unit3
ed States than our willingness to re"
reive unofficial representations and
claims made by tho United States
I government in regard to all matters

public of Mexico. I must, however,
call your attention to the fact that
we could not, without sacrificing our
r hard-fought for prestige, consider

Annual Drain on Animal Industry a
Seroius Monaco.
Experts of the department of agriculture
estimate that the annual loss
from hog cholera in tho United
States is $75,0u0,000. They regard
the eradication as ono of tho most
serious problems that faces the bureau
of animal industry, for the loss
caused by it approximately as great
as that from all other animal diseases
combined.
Tho loss from hogs killed outright
by cholera in 1912 was estimated at
$00,090,000. Tho loss to tho hog industry
indirectly resulting from the
disease was about $15,000,000 more.
Tho cholera is most, common In the
corn states of the West and South.
Tho two other chief animal diseases
are cattle tuborculosis and Texas
fever.
Statistics upon the annual losses
from those two diseases never have
been gathered by the department of
agriculture. Texas fever and cattle
tuberculosis do not cause anything
liko tho number of deaths as does
cholera, but tho loss to tho cattle industry
through illness, interference
with reproduction and making cattle
unfit for marketing is heavy. Tho
losses run into many millions of dollars
a year.
