S P L E Of the progres from the four State and forel during his pres JOHN G. CLINKSCALES: Dr. Jno. G. Clinkacales, former can didate for Governor of South Carolina and professor at Wofford College, says: "Mr. regular summer work for Wof ford College in particular, and for edu cation in general, has taken me over many counties, and I feel quite sure, after watching closely the trend of things, that Governor Manning will ' succeed himself. In my judgment the Governor is gaining ground every day. The open, manly, straight way in which he has met his opponents and his persistent tight all along for good, clean government are gripping the at tention of the people as the election day approaches. "Many gooa men who would per sonally prefer one of the other can didates are beginning to feel as does Dr. McCain; that to vote at this time for any other would be evidence of a failure to appreciate an honest effort on the part of the chief executive to give South Carolina clean govern ment. "1 am glad to find, too, that the peo ple will allow no more elimination, such as we had two years ago. 'Every tub must stand on its own bottom,' they say. "Governor Manning has had no easy task. His has not been a bed of roses. In discharging his duty he has neces to\ sarily offended many people. That was to be expected. lie has done well, and I believe the people will give him a second term as governor, as he de serves." "The public evil is ended; the public good is begun."

"Because he has been strong enough o advocate measures in the interest >f the masses of the people against he powerful protest of former friends >f wealth, power and influence. "Because on all occasions and every where he has conducted himself so as to reflect upon the high office to which the people of South Carolina have electel him. "Because during his administration there has been no unseemly quarrel between the Governor and the General Assembly and the Governor and the .ludiciary. lie has received the re spect of every department of govern ment and has treated the other de partments of government with that re spect and courtesy to which they are entitled from the Executive. "Because, in my opinion, he has made one of he best governors the State has had since 1876, and on his merits and by established custom he is entitled to a second term. "For these reasons I am supporting Governor Manning, notwithstanding the fact that personally I have the highest respect and regard for Mr. Cooper." te for Mai Therefore be it resolved: I * 1st.
