^THURSDAY7APR.~36, 1914.
The Georgetown Times says that
"Blease's cosmos is all ego." Editor
Beaty must have been reading
"Queed."
Isn't it about time to hear from
"Cansler of Tirzah," the perpetual
candidate for Railroad Commissioner?
Personally we should prefer to
swat a dozen flies in Kingstree than
to shoot to death a hundred Mexicans
at Vera Cruz.
????
There are said to he fourteen
candidates for Governor already in
the race and there's John T Duncan
yet to be heard from.
The Mexican "war" appears to
be at a stand-still and even the most
saffron-hucd news sheets can scare
up but tame "war news".
A French cynic of the court of
Louis XV. said that the difference
between criminals and politicians
was that the criminals stabbed each
other in the front, and the politicians
in the back. Which goes to
show that human nature does not
change a great deal from one century
to another.
John D Rockefeller, Jr, evidently
a chip off the old block, explains
his refusal to arbitrate in the Colorado
mine strike after being asked
to do so by President Wilson, by
saying that his attitude in the matter
is based on principle. Doubtless
it is, only he spells it the wrong
way; and he might have added interest,
too. ,
Judging from the reports through- :
out the State, Governor Blease, in <
sending out his instructions to his i
"heelers" to capture the club meet- 1
ings as a preliminary step toward 1
gaining control of the election ma
chinery, was "hoist with his own
petard." While the the opposition (
to the administration has not been i
saying much, it seems that they 1
have been "sawing wood" to some 1
1
purpose. _
J
Ever since the old stage-coach
days the mileage allowance of mem- ?
bers of Congress, "going and com- ]
ing," has l>een twenty cents a mile; '
whereas, under modern conditions j
of transportation, the actual cost is j
. 1
about two cents a mile. The (
House of Representatives lias ap-|(
parently abolished this petty graft i
i by passing a bill t<> cut the mileage c
I allowance to actual t>aveling ox- 1
jpen-e. Hut will such a bill l?oconi" *
law? We doubt it.
s
We are unalterably opposed t" ,e
doing away with the county-tu- \
county campaign meetings for State c
candidates. Cumbersome and expensive
though they may Ik.*, we .
know of no better way of getting
the voters face to face with their S
would-be representatives. But for
these meetings thousands ot people
would never have the opportunity ^
of seeing their future representa- *
tives or State officials. Then, too,
it is to l>e borne in mind that neither j
the candidates nor the people need 5
bother themselves to attend these t
i
meetings unless thev want to do so. c
t
In the second primary election of *
1908 between E D Smith and John
s
Gary Evans, there were 110,001 ^
votes cast, of which Smith received r
70,212, giving him a majority of j
al)out 30,000 over his opponent. j c
Seventy thousand votes is just about, ^
it i /" L?I? ~ ' t
me numuer o jveriior gut m
1012. But it is to be borne in
mind that there were 140,000 votes 8
cast in that remarkable election, 1
which, some how or other, we be- (
lieve is about 25,000 more than will *
t
be polled in the ensuing election.
In the expressive language of the r
late J L M Irby of Laurens, "A t
lulu hand wins but once." C
In his speech at Spartanburg last i<
week Governor Blease is reported as J1
saying that the only people who
were sorry that the Isle of Palms
was not going to get the encamp- ^
ment were 4'blind tigers, gamblers t
and keeDers of dives". That the n
encampment would not be anything J1
but "a grand drunk," any way,and a
a
the best people of Charleston didn't
want it. And yet Mr Sottile, that t
genial son of sunny Italy who being ^
ji
chief owner of the Isle of Palms,naturally
was most concerned about w
the encampment being held there, a
is reputed to be one of the Govern- t
or's staunchest friends in Charles- ^
" a
ton,and, in fact, only last week was
appointed Lieutenant Colonel on d
His Excellency's staff. Verily, the a
ways of the politician are devious
and the jewel, consistency, does not
occupy a conspicuous place in his 11
c
casket of gems.
o
The Farmer and Politics. p
Our recent editorial, "Get Good ?
Candidates for Your State Legisla- ^
ture," has aroused wide-spread in- ti
terest and there is every indication y
that our farmers are going to have ^
more to say in the selection of our Q
law-makers this year than for a long
time past. Don't forget the main
H
points:
1. Watch the Senate.
2. Keep at home all Legislative
candidates who are regularly re- 0
11
tained as corporation lawyers.
3. Don't think it a matter merely
of getting a farmer into office now &i
? ?J oaa fa if fUof fKn form. ?.
BUU lUCli, UUb otc tv Ib umb WIIV ACU11I- ?
ing interests also have adequate at- d
tention in the platform and in the c'
management of the party. It is bet- ^
ter laws and better government for $
all farmers, not official patronage p
for a few, that we should aim at. t?
4. Don't get gold-bricked by hav- e
ing the leaders "recognize the farm- w
2rs" by putting on platform com- u
mittees, executiye committees or K
naming as Legislative candidates e:
farmers who are not strong enough ^
to really represent the interests of ~
farmers. Get strong and well informed
men in these places. 1
5. The Farmers' Union should (1
studiously avoid all semblance of V
partisan politics and, unless for extraordinary
reason, men who are i
Farmers' Union officials should not a
become candidates for office, (though a
:hey may serve on party commit- a
;ees,etc). But Farmers' Union Dem- 1
>crats ought to confer together and i
vith other farmers as to how to get b
food government, how to build up|
he county, and how to advance the
"armors' interests by working inside
he Democratic party. Farmers'
Jnion Republicans should do the
lame inside the Republican party,
ind Farmers' Union Progressives
nside their party?working in every
ase for measures rather than men.
