VOLUME XXIX. LAURENS, SOUTH CAROLINA, WEDNESDAY, JUNE 24, 1914. NU 4 EDUCATION AND LAW ENFORCEMENT Leading Issues in Gubernatorial (am-ian pain. Attempt Falls to Line Up' Candidates on llensc-Smith Issue. Manning June 18.-The failure of an attempt today to line up ia can didate on the fictitious illease-Smith issue made plainer the indication at the Sumter meeting that the cam paign for state off leers would be fought out on measures and not on aen. The retort of the candidate to the inquiry how he intended to vote for United States senator that he stood oil his own feet was vigorously ap pla t.uded by the audience. Already compulsory school attend ance is looming up as one of the lig issues of the canpaigni. The aid of the state to make tenant farmuers owners of the land they cultivate is being advocated by several candidates (for governor. The eiforcemneit of existing laws is being stressed. ''he meeting today was quiet and all the candidates were given respect ful attention: 9. Oliver O'Bryani, 1)emiocrattc county chairman, presided over the meeting which was called to order at .10:30 o'clock, the candidates speak ing from a platform on the court house square. Candidates for attorney general, Thomas Ii. Peeples of Blackville and A. G. Brice of Chester, opened the meeting. Mr. Peoples said lie might have won the office on factionalism two years ago, but he had laid "those things aside and knew no man." Mr. Brice said that during his terms in the house he had paid practically no attention to factionalism. James A. Sumnersett: of Columbia and A. W. Jones of Abbeville, run ning for comptroller general, spoke nex i. W. W. Moore df -Barnwell and M. C. Willis of York, the two candidates for adjutant general; James Cansler of 'Tirzah, C. D. Fortner of Spartan burg, Ferank W. Shealy of Lexington, John 11. Wharton of Laurens, W. 1. Witherspoon of York and George W. Fairey of St. Matthews, the six candi date. for railroad commissioner, spoke in the order named. Rain drove the -audience into the court. room while Mr. Fortner was in the midst of his speech. Canldidates for licuteant governor, William M. Hamer, of Dillon, .1. A. hunter of Bamberg, it. Frank Kelley of lBishopville and Andrew .1. Bethea of Columbia, were heard next. 'lIow do you stand, - Smith or Blease," an auditor asked Mr. Hunter as he was leaving the rostrum. Stands for Hunter. "I stand for .1. A. Hunter for lieu tenant governor," answered Mr. liun ter with spirit. The audience applaiud ed and cheered. The Manning audience showed littio enthusiasm until the candidates for governor began to speak. "I want to rededicate myself to the service of the boys and girls of the rural oist ricts,"' said( Jonn GI. (liak - scales of Spaitanhurg, candidate for governor, after t elIlang of his work as an educator. "1 want to giye them an good edni cational advantages as they can go: in town. That is one reason why 1 am a caindidate for governor." Mr'. Cli!nkscales dleclared that much of the education given to farmiers' chiildren was of a natiurc calculated to leadi them away from tihe farmm. . 4e advocatee couars-is ini the rural schiools whicn would traiin boys and girls in agric.oltu' al lines. R, A. Coopier of Lautrens, the~ secondl candidate for governor to sp~eaki, stressed, theo importance of the oflce of governor. HeI said thle cief duity of the oflice was exeCcuilyve, to enfoxce the laws. Mr. Cooper laid( emphasis On 'the nlecessity of building tip lie countr'y schools and said if elected governoir he wvould tak tho legislature to make the count ry schools the equal of those in the cities and tn'v.. Stata did for agricultruaul classes so as to .permit the white tenant formeri to owvn his own land was urged by Mr. Coop 0l'. Law enforcement wvas stressed again today biy Mr'. Cooper. lie said the laws of the State had beenm set aside1 'in Charleston, Columbia and other places and~ needed enforcement. The enfoircement of law without fear and without favor, ho said, was his standard, the same standhird to be fol lowe@ with respect-to the rich as well a8 tn the huumbin violator of the laws. Conservation of the public health, in creased educational facilities in every school district he advocated. "The best solution of the race ques tion is the education of the white boys and the white girls,' lie said. The teaching of agricultrue in all the public schools and the establish-. ment by Clemson College of a demon stration school 1'c every county so as to bring all the resources and acidvan t.:ges of that great instil ttion to the doo' of all the farmers w1 'ere advoent Pd by M1r. {Cooper. .John 'I'. Il)uincan of ('olumbin, cnn (didate for governor, told the' people a'out what ho calls the "System." The (otten 31111 issue. W. C. Irby, .Jr., of 1.aurens was' the fourth c(ndidairt for goveinor to spCak. lie told of his lighi against the majority report of thle rulos comn iitte'' in the last. state convention. li e denounced Northern control of cotton mills and banks and urged rogulatioi of them to keep them from forcing dlown the price of cot ton and the wages of the operatives. Ile flayed cotton mill mergers and went after Wall street speculators' with gloves off. M1r. -Irby said he had been fighting the predatory interests as a member of the general assembly for the last 12 years. 31 r. Irby strongly advo cated state aid for men who wanted to buy farms on which to live. Richard 1. Manning of Sumter, can didate for governor, declared that the greatest responsibility devolving on the milan elected the next chief ex ecutive would be the enforcement of law. Io promised to enforce the law without discrimination as to persons or localities, and if necessary to use the military to carry out the statutes. "1f elected governor my purpose shall be to see that the verdicts of juries shall sand and the judgments of courts sustained," declared Mr. Manning in discussing pardons. Mr. Manning said that as governor lie would urge on the legislature the liberal support of the higher insti tutions of learning, but would take special care that the primary schools were given better maintenance an longer terms. M1r. Manning alvocated the teaching of agriculture in the comiion schools and. told the audience that Clemson college - was now pre paring to give agricultural training in at leas five rural schools in every county. "I am in favor of submitting to each school district the question whether or not it will have compul sory education," said Mr. Manning in closing. John G. Richards of Liberty Hill, candidate for governor, dweit on his achievements in the legislature, espec cially his work for rural schools and state colleges. He predicted more ag ricultural extension work on the part of Clemson as soon as possible. Against. 'oimpulsory Law. Mr. Richards said that while every thing in the school districts was enlm and serene now, they would be rent asunder 0n thle qu.estoln of clml.lil.i sory edulcation shlould it be put to tile vote.
