of approximately. 250 persons, about
150 of whom were voters, listening to
the specels of twenty-one candidates,
Seorge W. Wightmian and Octavus
.'ohen, candidates for Lieutenant Gov

1tresting inciden-t of the meeting was
the picturesque place of meeting. in
der the mellow -light of a nearly full
moon, the candidates delivered their
addresses in the court yard of -the ar
mory of the Beaufort volunteer artil
lery, anad their voices mingled with
the chirp of the crickets. The can
didates tonight taking advantage of
the patriotic attitude that Beaufort
has sh Nwin toward the war, made
speech j which dealt almost entirely
with the present crisis.
John .1. DesChanmps, the first gub
ernatorial speaker, came out for uni
versal military training and a higher
education. le modestly declared that
he was as well informed in world af
fairs as any man in the State. had
been called the equal of Wilson, and
could take his place at peace ta
ble at the conclusion of tie war with
the greatest minds of this country and
of the old world and discuss with them
the most intricate problems arising
fr m the struggle. That is the kind
Governor, he declared, South Caro
,i' ma should e&ect. He also claimed he
was responsible for the election of
Governor Manning, w-hom he praised
as being one of the best Governors the
State has had in the past quarter of
a century, and asserted that he
brought Seniaor Tillman into the race
for reelection.

John L. AMclaurin made a purely pa
triotic Speech, declaring -lint when
the 'Lusitania was sunk, he then
thoulght that the United States should

to the conclusion later that It took
the two following years of education
and instruction by President Wilson
to awaken the American people from
their' .lethargy and bring to them a
realization of what the struggle meana
Ito the World.
Thomias H-. Peeples, speaking on his
native heath, said that this was no
Jtime to inject factional politics into
a campaign but the people shotild
stand united behind. the government
in the prosecution of the war. lie said
that one of the main missions of the
candildates for various oflices was to
teach the )eople that America is
"flighting that Christianity and man
kind and that lie Ipconlie of the world
shall not l'e crucifled on the cross of
Im pe rialism."
John 'liehards again deprecated th(
assertion that the war is ani issue in
IPlc campaign. lie claimed that, in
his belief, all the peo!hle of South Car
olina are 100 per cent American; lie
also made a patriotic address, pre
dicting that 'the war will le won by
American soldiers.
-Liettenant Governor A. .1. lethea
