Analysis of Former (
Printed in the 1e
In its issue of September the third,
the New York Times appealed to some
cain analysis to inform it. of the true
situation politically in South Caro
lina and to tell it of the source of
Cole llense's strength. The challenge
was accepted by )'. U. G.Watts Cunl
ninghan, a natlee of Laurens county,
now professor of philosophy of Middle
bury College Vermont. 1)r. Cunning
ham was graduated from I'urmuan uni
versity several years ago. lie receiv -
ed the degree of Doctor of Letters at
the last comunencement from li"urman
Ills analysis follows the Times edi
torial.
The Times, after asking th le qu'
tion says;
Very likely Mr. lilease will he heat
en. He is willing to go to the Senate,
it is said. Eeno if defe ated by tI
Mlanning-Cooper combination, lie will
bob up again, distressing thie good.
llow is his considerable ipopu lar
strength accounted for? It is not to
he thought that nearly half of the Pal
metto voters who took Iet( trouble to
go to the primary venerate .lMr. Iileas-e
for his genius for emptying the peni
tenilaries or his consigning of the
('onstitution to :heol; or that the
keepers and customers of "hissing
blind tigers and boot-loggers," as The
Columbia State puts it, are very numii
erous and powerful.
According to The State, (Governor
Manning "raised the standard of law
and order and peace," and "I lie peo
ple how It." They didn't know it
last week. Moreover, "most. of the
cotton mill presidents" and "some of
the bankers and husiness m1en" - are
opposed to the re-election of (overnoir
-lanning. Surely they are no foes of
peace and law and order. They must
object to the governor oiln aceoliit of
his enforcement of the sixty-hour law,
the weekly pay-day law, compulsory
-school attendance, the esIablishmient
.of a Board of ('oneiiation, in his al
mllinistration.
