Considering that the majority for Hlease in the second primary was only 1,111, and that in the second primary he received 1,101 votes in Charleston alone, when in the first primary Charleston had cast only 3.124 for all six candidates, the principal ques? tion to be answered In estimating the result this year Is whether Governor Blease has gained enough votes to maintain or to Increase his slight ma? jority of two years ago. or whether he has lost enough to offset that slight majority of a little more than f.ve thousand.

Institut.- at the Ba ker icho] lait week ai all know who attended it. woe a lucceM, a great ?uccesi ai an educational Inetltute. The motive for having thla Institute in the country was that the farmers who need the Instruction moat may get it easier, it la a matter of com m o) obaervatlon that the reul farmer | does not, as a rule, attend the insti? tutes which the colleges send out for his instruction. One reaaon for this is that the institutes are too often held in the towns and that the furni? er, even should he be In town the same day, often has other things to do which, in ins opinion, arc of none importance than the Institute. So he attends to them and gives the school a go-by, It was the idea of the plan? ners of this institute that if the farm? ers had the school brought right to their doors they would come out and hear the apeakeri and find out what ? he educational institutions are liv? ing to do for them. And this proved to be true. For while there was not a very large attendance it was noticed that the most of the farmers in the neighborhood were there and seemed intensely interested. When an apology was offered Mr. I?ng, the representa? tive of the national department of agriculture, for the rather small at? tendance, he replied, "Your Institute is a success. The size of the crowd is not all. Your plan for bringing the institute tight to the doors of the men who need it has been amply justified in your case and 1 hope you will do the same thing next year and the next The department is wit!, you and will give you all the aid in its power," Mr. Long also -aid in an address WhlCh he made that he hud coiiie six hundred mllea, sent by the department to bring its sympathy and wishes for the BUCCCSS "f the movement. The managers of the af? fair appreciated this none than any contribution the Government could COUld have made. The people from Clemaon and Win? throp who came as instructors re? marked that the institute was very different from those usually attended by them in the great interest shown and the evident care and trouble taken to entertain them, The build? ing of the eating house and kitchen, the mUSlC, the provision to "sleep" as wall "eat"' the visitors were unusual evidences of the great appreciation felt by the people of the community 'i in- Laker school has acored another success and should reel amply repaid for ..1! that they did in the social, eommonttv !>ro*h r!i ' Speaking of the recent primary ir.

Briefly and simply the Governor was notified of his nomination by ?enator-elec-t ? bib- m James, of Kentucky, who emphasized, as he -?.(id. that the Governor had obtained the honor untrammelled by obligations und unembarrassed by affiliations of any kind. Though the Governor spoke, In acceptance, theoretically to the 52 members of the committee, representing every State and Terri? tory In the union, the ?peeeh. Bound? ing the depths of his political philoso? phy, was heard by a great throng. Prominent Democrats, Governors of many sti b s, their famalles, mem? bers ? f the Women's National Dem? ocratic League and a multitude of seashore folk came from up and down the Jersey coast to attend the exercises. From tin broad veranda <>f the White House, where the Governors of New Jersey spend their summers, the nominee delivered his speech. The Governor read from his manuscript. The platform, he said, was not a pro? gram hut a practical document in? tended to show "that We know what the nation is thinking about ami what it is most concerned about." The people, in. added, were about to be asked not particularly to adopt a pjlatform but to entrust the Demo? cratic aprty with "office and power and the guldan e ..f their affaire" and their desire now was to know what "translation of action and policy he Intends to give to the general terms ??f th . platform, should he be elect? ed." The task ahead the Governor ex? plained, was to set up the rule of justice and of right in such matters as the tariff, the regulation of the trusts and the prevention of monop dy. the adaptation <-f the banking ind currency laws to meet present day conditions.
