Senator McLaprin admits thc nee efsity io/ *ompattory school laws, bu doubts thc expediency. Tho bill be fore thc legislature was a local optlo measure, to permit school districts t voto on that for themselves. In thc matter of protecting the pr mario?, he has about the same view ls everybody else. No decent man' 1 tho state wishes anything but an hoi est election and an honest count. Th tlons is the only argument on thi matter of form in holding the . cle< --.-1, l~ fltfcg .l?.l". .U. I....... The plainer the requirements th stronger the system. No man shoul bc denied the right to vote if he is citizen. No allens should bc allowe to vote. Vote buyers should be pt on the cbalngang.

It IK possible for candidates to get spicy und lu ginger up without creat ing so much 111 feeling, and we trust that in the campaign thia summer there will he Buch a splendid feeling among the people that the state of South Carolina Will be proud of thc men seeking ofllcc. But if the people of South Carolina are to be treated to fussing and strife, it were better to cut out the meetings. Let the people study the meir, their merit*, their Halms, their records, their possibilities. Do not accept them or reject them upon one thing, hut learn all that you can about their lives their characters, their manhood. Accept no one hastily, but decide calmly which of the candidates for] many offices are the men who will do the most good and thc men. WJKT have the most good in them.. We seo no harm in having campaign meetings if they can be so arranged as to give the people information and an insight into tho true personality of thc men seeking to represent them. But if lt comes to campaign meetings where candidates are "howled down" and not permitted to speak, we believe that the party would be justified in calling off all further engagements of the campaign speakers.
