C olonel Harley for Re-ele c tiOh.
Among the interesting political an
nouncements of the past week is that
of Colonel J. Emile Harjey, of Barn
well, for re-election to the House from
Barnwell County. Colonel Harley was
a member of the free-f*onference com
mittee on the last appropriation bill,
representing the house economists on
that committee. That committee, afr
ter l>eing in executive session for ten
days, brought in a bill-carrying an
appropriation of $9,654,000, a$ against
a hill passed by the hou^e carrying an
appropriation of ten and a quarter mil
lion dollars, in round numbeis, and a
bill by the senate of more than eleven
million dollars. Colonel Harley dur
ing his legislative career has stood for
the abolition) of useless offices and
commissions, for consolidations, and
for curtailing the expenses of the
government to the lowest point con
sistent with efficiency. He waa ’ the
author of the recent anti-trust • law
and the resolution to investigate cer
tain oil and gasoline companies, which
is estimated resulted in a saving of
inUjlionB of dollars to users of auto
mobiles in the State, thi* price of gaso
line having dropped from twenty-
seven to twenty three cents within two
wetks after the passage of the law.
He is a member of the important judi
ciary committee of the house. Two
yea is ago he was elected on a plat
form of economy and consolidation,
and he consistently stood upon that
platform in the general assembly. So
far there appears to have developed
in Bannwell County no opposition
against him or his colleague, the
Rev. D. W. Heckle, who.is also a candi
date for re-election. At the next ses
sion Colonel Harley is expected to be
among the leaders continuing the
fight for consolidations which means
the aboliation of useless and over
lapping departments and commission
and devolving their duties where those
duties should be placed and remain.

With “Standard” Motor Oil these cars
