A wet plank in the Democratic plat lorm will win <i iVi ui |/iuiuuiviv?? votes. . Thousands of men who voted the prohibition ticket two years ago did not know at the time that they were voting for a "search and seize" act. Mr. McAdoo has flatiy refused to do what the Democratic leaders would hatfe him do, and at San Francisco they are going to Makehimdo. : If we mistake not there was a time when Mr. Wilspn advocated a single term for the president, but now with the office in his own possession he seems reluctant in letting it be known that he will not be a candidate'for a third term. Belief that President Wilson is planning to run for a third term, ripened into a conviction in the minds of may political leaders last week, with the developments which included the President's interview, the announcement by William G. ^IcAdoo that he would not permit his name to be presented to the San Francisco convention and the statement by Assistant Secretary of the Treasury Jouett Shouse that the McAdoo delegates will turn to Senator Carter J Glass. Many Democratic leaders at; -- 1-1? -j?:u.j i the -National capital iraniuy uujiuilcu that Wilson will be a candidate. " i Drastic action for the relief of the fuel shortage in various sections of the country was taken by the interstate commerce commission at Washington in the issuance of preference and priority orders to the railroads for the transportation of bituminous coal to tidewater for transshipment by water to destinations within the j United States. Stating that "an em- j ergency exists which requires imme- j diate action," the commission ordered' all railroads in the Eastern and; Southern territories to give prefer- i ence and priority to carloads of coal i consigned for shipment by water to, New England or any other domes^c destination "until furthek order of the commission." The order becomes efective today and the railroad, companies have signified a willingness to obey the order. The Lever Act seems to cut a pretty big figure everywhere except in Mr. Levers home state. Sunday's metropolitan papers carried a big story of the arrest for "profiteering in violation of the Lever Act," three members of the firm of Gimble Bro there, a concern which is reputed to do a $10,000,000 to $15,000,000 business annually. The warrants for the three men charged four instances of profiteering in men's clothing. One of the alleged high profits is said to have been made at an advertised mark-down sale. A suit costing Gimbel Brothers $33, it is charged, was sold for $75, and a mohair suit costing $5.50 was sold for $20. A suit which cost $15, it is said, was sold for $33.75 and another suit costing $5.50, at $15. Why not apply the Lever Act on "native soil?" Why not get some of the profiteers in South Carolina? o "Bud" Moore has "some" tenor. Hear him in the Furman Quartet Friday night. o "Jud" League is an artist on the piano.
