Speech Made by Cam Columbia Theater paigifc Gives His Interests ./The following: is Thomas G. Mc ?-eod's speech delivered at the Co lumbia theater on the opening- day ofthe campaign: - The year 1$22 presents to the citizens of South Carolina prob * Jems of serious moment for their sohrtion. It is- of -the gravest ??seouenee to the citizens of the state that ^these Questions be faced h?hest ry, frankly and- fairly. a?*d a'- .solution: be- found through the *c??efui and patriotic consSderAtion of the citizens and ? especially through the officers . whom they elect, legislative and executive. We must necessarily think in the term?: of the, time in which we are iivihg. *Tfcis is a~ remarkable period of the world's history known' as the re construction period. The great World" war in which we entered. &B& properly entered, and- in which an patriotic South'"'Garohnia^ns did their part at home-or abroad, has fcot only changed the- geography Of Europe; but has changed the line of thought in every aventre of ??e. It is as impossible that the world should ever be the same 'again after this war as that the topography of a country shoukr-re nsain unchanged after the eruption of & volcano or the- upheaval of an *?ftrthciuake. I say." Therefore, that in- the "solution of all our problems, social religious.- political, com znercial and agricultural, we must think in the times in which we are living. The business world has recognized that if -success is to reward its efforts, it can not fol low- old methods, and is adopting methods of operation suited to the changing conditions. ? Agriculture *srthe basis of all our wealth, and the farmer has* recognized that if . success- is to reward; his efforts he can not follow the /old method of /-production or of * marketing. Garefui.thought and^ndy have led aim to- realize that his method of nssteketing especialry-nixist change, and we find that throughotit the Country co-operative marketing as sociatrons ^have been organized where the farmer, co-operating in accord with his fellow -farmers, -can speak with united' voice and with tfce* strength of mambers/This to- me is the great ray *>f; hope for tie* future. It wHI toot *olve our agricultural problems, but it will materially aid their solution' Fno-ssta! Period. This is- a period * of * unusual de \ pression when" debts 'are hard to 9^, when- money is scarce; and [?erefore the burdens "of govern ?tejjeut/ all other -burdens, fall ? Snore heavily upon'ofer shoulders. ; We muet solve these problems and -ire can only do* it in' a spirit' of accord and harmony, of justice and I fiqyxstVtty, Thrre must be no back ward step-if we would ceatttinue to make-" progress, and yet. those who I Bear the- burden, and who have borne it, c?nr not longer carrv - it> ; ^rtraordinarjE. weight. In - private : life we have been brought to prac :*3ce economy and to eliminate lux ; cry, and have done ? everything con ;? ?latent with efficient business to * remedy our present condition. The very same rule applies, and should apply to government. There must be such rigid economy practiced "as is consistent with efficiency. And 1 yet with rigid economy the bur \ Sen as borne at present is still too great. I recognize the fact that ?-the oiBee of governor is ex ecutive and not lejgislatice, S but his influence does and should have -weight; and a legislature eh?ct : ed by the people,-w?th whom rhe X governor re in accords or which is i in accord with the govera??*, can - certainly give to the ^tate cnch a i?ystem of taxation: and revr ntis as will be* fair ssnd just. Our tax sys l frera is obsolete, and not in keep ; ing, with that of many ?w" our sis? >ter states. We tax mtv thoe things which we^can see. feel or < touch, and yet there is a vast amount of earnings, wealth and . luxury which have heretofore al most, if net entirely, escaped tax ation. Real and genuine relief, therefore, must come with eeon ? omy. and more especially with such a distribution of taxation a* " Trfiil place a portion of the burden ? Upon those not now taxed. The past legislature made some pro '? gres* along thie line in the enaet 1 seent of the recent revenue raising measures and there is virtue hi * ^Ostxe of the measure* enacted and prop?se<t, but there is still room . for further extension- of these measures, which will result in ?uch a distribution of taxation that tbey Vi 11 be far less burdensome. It behooves each citizen to study th? affalFS of his own county and ; to see what portion of his taxes is spent at home and what portion is for staTe purpose*. His relio:* at ? home must be obtained entirely \ through his lo^al legislator, and if . there is room for economy, he should insist that it be applied.. 1 I believe that relief can come by sys tematic and just .distribution ot" taxes*, and if-elected governor it : will be my purpose to labor for economy and a fair and ef?ual dis tribution of the burden of taxation. ?- We must maintain our institu j lions to the highest standards of I efficiency. No patriotic son *>r daughter of South Carolina would withhold from the- aged and in j?rm soidier of the Confederacy the little we give to him. No hu mane citizen w?>uld> wish to* deny to those unfortunates in the State i 3?08pital for the- Insane such neees f fcitie9 of life as keep them in? com fort and such happiness as is pos sible to them in their unfortunate .condition. Education, i The last Quarter of a century has witnessed in South Carolina extraordinary interest and growth ESS?t k OPENING DAY ? T iidate for Governor at .at Outset of Gam Views on Various: ^Questions if ? in her educational institutions. ? Our educational institutions are a { growth and not a '-creation. There I was a time when the. -educational ? system was top heavy-, that is, we ! were maintaining ? institutions of j higher learning without the proper basic foundation of preparatory ' schools. The small amount of ? money in the counties was insuffi [eient to keep the schools running I except for a few months during the' j year. : It * was my privilege, - when {first ? member of the legislature, | [to advocate-a measure" introduced! ? at a previous session for a -small f appropriation to the public schools. j We did this not so much for the j j benefit - of the small * amount of ; money* but as. an entering wedge | te make the public school system j the basis of our splendid eduea-j tional' system. I. with - many - of you have lived to see : splendidly eqipped school houses, ^running full lime, replace the one-room, short term school. I rejoice in the fact that a generation of boys and girls ?as come forth into the world eo.uipped for their-duties through the increased advantages of our public school system. It is- remarkable commentary; on these time's that, notwithstand- J ,ing our financial - depression: no! citizen wishes to shorten- the tem j of hissohool or to deprive the chil-j dren of- this state of tfteir present j advantages. And so. likewise, it> is j with our colleges; they too are foil, j I know that at home, many a good] woman has worked over old dress* j es and retrimmed: old. "hats, and . many a father has 'gone threadbare j in order that their sons and daugh i ters may.?through the^r ? sacrificesi \ have 'the benefit of an education, j ?Let us remember* that after allj J these are the things "that count ' ] most. It is these educational in- ] I ftuences which must spiritualize the j material develop me* of this < age, \ and it istfee.spirituaihzatron of ma- i terial forces* which aione will save j . us from calamity.- Therefore, in j (education -there- must be no- back- j ?ward step and upon tins* I believe j ?every candidate and voter alike-are ! ! agreed. Good Roads. I The deflation found us in a mood ;of construction. Recognizing the j value of good -roads, every county, iwas planning to" improve its roads j ?.so as to make travel, a pleasure] [rather than a hardship. Unques- j [tionably many of these schemes! I have had to be given up but we j j must, if the. times will permit, con- j tir.ue our progress along this line! because of the saving of money in trai^ic. - It makes. comfort anJ convenience for our people who li^e in the country, and who arc so mueh entitled to the conven iences of life. -In-this great move ment, as in others, let us be con servative but progressive. Taxes and education are both of j j vital importance, but there is no ! j question so needful of calm, dolib-j j erate consideration as that o** the ! i enforcement of law. We are a na- ! j tion and a people of ideals. These j (men and women who braved the] . dangers of a new land,- who settled j this country, were men and women l of ideals. The framers of the Declaration of Independence were idealists. The men and women who entered into -the world war \ for freedom of a world were ideal-] ists. Genuine freedom for liberty i can only come to a?y people when j that people are safe in their lives! and property. We are living in the ] j great .backwash -of the terr'blc j I struggle and these .seems to be aj i psyehologJcal condition which w-? j term as a crime wave. It will not j j run its course-and recede, but it! j must be stopped and the only way | ! to stop it is by. the enforcement ? of the law and the punishment of 'criminals. There should be no ?laxity or maudlin sympathy .>r sen-' j timent, -but there must be develop ; ed in South Carolina such an at I mosphere for the protection of hu ] man life and rights as will find its I expression in the verdicts of juries j and sentences of the court, such ; verdicts and sentences must be up I held by the chief executive of the i state. This I regard as the prob ! lern of gravest moment, and one ! that can be settled only by the peo ? ple themselves with the protection [and aid of the courts and the i executive power of the governor, j It is a matter of no consequence whether one favors this law or that; j it is sufficient that~*-it is the . law ? of the land and must be respected. ; We would not. if we could, go back to the days of legalized sale of li I tiuor andT yet, if we would realize the full benefits of prohibition, we ? must stop the sale and traffic in the ; damnable stuff which is now beinjr j bartered. I have stood for the law fas a citizen as best I could in my ; own community. If elected gover I nor. I will pledge to the people of South Carolina the most earnest ef j forts of which I am capable to see ' the laws of South Carolina are re j specfed, ohserved and enforced, land I will not through sympathy I or for personal preference, set j aside the verdict of juries and sen tences of the courts. Personal Re<*ord. When a man becomes a candidate > for public office his fellow citizens ore entitled to know something of this life and service, and I. there fore, respectfully ask your atten tion to my record, both as a public j official, and as a citizen. For two 1 years I wap a memebr of the house of representatives from Sumter county. For four years I was state senator from Lee county, and for 'four years, during the admin ist ra i tion of Governor Ansel. I was lieu | tenant governor. Those associated ; with me can testify as to the zeal : and ability shown in the discharge ? of these duties. 1 have labored ; both as an official and as a pri j vate -?Citizen tor the upbuilding of j my state -sinwr- 1 attained my ma J jority. I have performed as best I I couUl the simpler duties. 1 have j never been absent from a meeting i of my Demoex-atic club. I have j never failed t<> vote in both the pri 'mary and general elections. Since ; my term of office expired in 1910. j I have been constantly engaged in i any and all movements looking to wards public welfare. During the war all my time was practically taken up in war work. At home and upon the platform wherever I was called. \ did my best to help win the war. Certanly I do not ask reward. It is every citizen's duty to-serve his country at all time-, and -especially in times of war when the liberty of his people is at stake. Since the close of the war, being engaged in farming myself, with practically everything I have in vested in land, I have worked in [ every movement to better condi- j tions for my fellow farmers, and some of these efforts have been crowned with success. As I have said, it is every citizen's duty to serve his country and his people, and for these services I do not ask reward, but I do ask that in the j estimate you form of me they be J taken into consideration. You have j had the opportunity to judge my J ability and character. If you find I that I have the necessary quali- j fications to adminster the affairs! of our state, I will appreciate this honor at your hands, and to the duties of this office and the services of the people of this state, I will devote my entire time zeal ously and with all the ability that I have, laborng to carry on a safe, . eeonoraic and efficient government j and at the same time preserving ? our resources and developing our ! ^ great state. ! Why Mr. Blease Should Not Be I i Nominated. } (Spartanmrrg Journal). The Journal is indebted to one of the ablest, most thoughtful and I fair-minded men of affairs in che j "state, writing from Greenville,! about why Mr. Blease should not! be:'nominated for governor ofj South Carolina,' as follows: I "Mr. Blease has published in i I the Greenville News of Sunday, I September 3, an appeal for sup- j ! port in the second primary, in I [which he claims that he 4is fight-) |ihg'for God and the right,' and j fthat he loves Him and heeds Hisj r commandments.' He also contends ; ;that he fs truthful and free from j 'deceit and hypocrisy. Now there: I are hundreds of 'Christian minis-; ?ters in Greenville county, most ofj ; whom are educated men and menj ; of high character. How manv j j highly educated Christian minis- j ;ters of known, high character in! [this county (or state) are support-! jing Blease? Does education and ! character drive men away from J j Blease? "The same Blease advertisement] ! states that Mr. Blease is in favor j ! of education. ' Now Furman JJni- . jversity, located in Greenville, is. I managed by twenty-two professors j Por learning, all of whom stand i j high for character. Not one of! ; these professor is voting for Blease.; | If Blease is in favor of education,! why is it that educators, who cer- ? tainly favor education, fail to sup port Blease? "In the same advertisement Mr.. Blease intimates that he can and; I will reduce taxes. How many high- j ly honorable, highly educated,! prosperous men. who pay big taxes ! I In this county or state, support j s-Ble?se? If Blease can reduce j itaxes, without injuring the State,! is it not remarkable that the larg f est " tax payers almost invariably | [vote against him? It is possible; that he could reduce taxes if the j state could be induced to invest no ; I more money in education and in i i good'roads than was invested when j < Blease was governor. 'Tn the same advertisement j Blease states that he never has j and never will attempt to array: ; class against cia>s. lias factional-j j ism and class feeling ever boen j f aroused over any other candidate j for governor in South Carolina as j much as it has been aroused over i j Blease? Has not Mr. Blease made! i the impression among the poor j j and ignorant that he was their j I friend and that thrifty educated) ! people, who had accumulated] ; something, were against the best; J interests of the state? Has' not the ? I criminal class been arrayed al | most to a man in favor of Blease? Is there a convicted murderer, j ? thief, forger, house-burner, liquor ! seller, in this state today who is j not supporting Blease and striving jto get all of his friends to support him ? J . "In this same advertisement Mr. Blease professes to be in favor j j the strictest enfw-ement oi tti*i \ I law prohibiting the sale of cocaine, j !He is to be commended for not j 1 stating that he is in favor of the ? ! strictest enforcement of the law; j prohibiting the sale of intoxicating 'drinks. Do you know any violator] i of the prohibition law who is not ! supporting Blease? Finally, cer ! lainly it is true that like will drift to like; the informed man who is ? more like Blease than he is like [antl-Bleaseism will naturally drift to Blease.

Thirty members of a gang: of robbers who looted many churches, chapels and convents before and during the government requisition of church treasures have been ar rested, and loot valued at many millions ot dollars has been recov ered. The jewels from the Iber ian icon alone were estimated to be worth nearly ^3,000.000. the trick. Labor "Party Selects Woman Par liamentary Candidate London, August 9?That the po litical party which above all others I srands for the hard fisted sons of j toil should put forward, as one' of j its parliamentary candidates a1 member of the social' elect and aj woman at that, may be regarded as one of the significant signs of j the- times. It is not because of i any dearth of good parliamentary j materail among its own ranks and: file that the Labor Party has'adopt ed Miss Edith Picton-Turbevill as a candidate for North Islandton j at the next general election. Miss Picton-Turbevill is -the] daughter of Colonel Picton-Turbe vill of Ewenny Priory, Glamorgan shire. Among the many claims of long descent there are few among the British aristocracy who can trace their lineage so far baek as can Miss- Picton-Turbevill and find such a notable beginning of- it. One of her ancesters was Sir Rich ard Turbevill, one of the 12 knights of William the Conqueror who set tled in Wales soon after the eon quest. Miss Picton-Turbevill is the au thor of "Christ and International Life**-to which Lord Robert Cecil contributed a preface. Her-social' work"abroad has given her an in ternational reputation. She spent some years in India on behalf ef j the Toung Women's Christian As-' sociation, and travelled for it in | America and other countries: In' stating her reasons for ally- j ing herself With the Labor Party, Miss Picton-Turbevill said: "The party has a definite prae- j fieal program. Its policy is found-] ed en Christian principles. It has 'j been the chief champion of we- ] man's entry into oplitics. If Msis Picton-Turbevill get* into j Parliament she will not be on the j same "side as Lady Astor or- Mrs. j Wrntringham. ' "" \ "My policies are not the same as i theirs," she said, "but I am sure j that on all things affectnig the welfare of women and children we j should find ourselves on common] ground, although in many cases Ij would go further than -they for the , betterment of the working women.)

July 24?The! 'possibility that the Polynesians I who fir>t inhabited Hawaii came j here directly from the island of: Guam, the northernmost of Mis- j cronesia instead of by way of Sa-1 moa, Tonga and Tahiti to the south as generally believed, has arisen 1 through investigations by scientists,' atatched to the Bishop Museum j here, which is atempting. in con- J junction with Yale university, to j solve the mystery of the roigin ofj the Hawaiian race. J Further investigations are being conducted on Guam to ascertain whether the Polynesian civilization there was anteceded to the Polyne sian migration to Hawaii and, ? if so. what other racial influences submerged it. according to Ken neth Emory, ethnologist in charge of the Guam expedition. The Polynesian culture is extinct on Guam--now and this is the basis for the belief that the Polynesian settlement on that island was prior to the migration to Hawaii. Evi dence of the primitive Polynesian civilization were found in the si milarity of war implements un earthed in Guam to those used sub sequently by Polynesians here. Skulls found in Guam also bear a marked resemblance to those of Hawaiians being rough and unus ually rugged, the scientists report ed. By further excavations in Guam the Bishop Museum authorities hope ti learn what racial sticks pre- j ceded or came after the Polynesian migration to that island. The dis coveries htere have revealed traces of primitve civilizations other than Polynesian culture and it believed that these other racial stocks sub merged the Polynesian. Scientists said that a migration | from Japan might have forced out j the Polynesian strain, as they be lieve that Asia was the source of | the Polynesian race and that Guam j at succesive periods in the world's history, was the objective point of at least two and perhaps three or more migrations. Strange and oddly shaped stones, presumably marking seremonial cr burial places were discovered in Guam. Specimens of crude pottery ! also were found and this is con sidered unusual, as pottery had not been found before in the area Ol the Pacific. Petroglyphs or writ ings in stone, similar to those in Hawaii, also were unearthed, ini*' cating a Polynesian strain, accord ing to scientists. The police don't scare the boot leggers half as bad as this beer and light win? talk, Assailing the Constitution. Whenever, in the exercise of its proper function the Supreme Court decides that the national Congress has exceeded its consti tutional powers in passing a given law, some of those persons who believe that-the law in question is just and desirable cry aloud for the liberation of Congress from the re straint of the judiciary. So some recent decisions of the court have been followed by the proposal that the Constitution be amended so that Congress by a two-thirds majority can make effective a law that the Supreme Court has set aside as unconstitutional. Few of those who support that proposal under stand the serious effect that it would ha ve on our-system of gov ernment. They are interested in particular legislation, eager for the nation at large to adopt it at once and impatient of any obstruction or delay. But there is something else more important involved in their proposal. If we are to have a federal system some subjects of legislation must be strictly re served to the state legislatures and forbidden, to the national Congress. If we axe to be governed by a written Constitution, there must be some one charged with determin ing whether in particular cases the provisions of the Constitution have been observed. ? The proposed amendment, although sincerely in tended merely to insure the prompt fulfillment of the people's will, would oi?en the door to endless usurpations of power by Congress. It would be more straightforward to abolish the written Constitution, to establish our system of govern ment, like that of Great Britain, on acts of Congress and to extend the power of Congress over the entire field of legislation. We do not believe that that would be a wise thing to do, or that many people want to see it done. Ouf local and state govern ments ought not to be deprived of any- authority and influence that they new have. Political liberty, which is what our fathers were chiefly anxious to establish and what we have been taught we ought to maintain, will be safe only while local self-government is strong and vigorous. When-every thing is controlled and directed from Washington the downfall of the republic will- have begun. Any good law that Congress can be induced to pass the state legis latures will enact if public opinion demands it. Any amendment that deliberately transfers- from the court to Congress the interpreta tion <if the Constitution would cre ate a political revolution, the mag nitude of which those who propose it hard ly understand. "To what purpose," asked John Marshall in one of his great decisions, "are powers limited, and to what pur pose are those limitations com mitted to writing,- if those limits may at any time^be passed by those intended to be restrained? . . . Either the Constitution controls any legislative act repugnant to it. or the legislature may alter the Constitution by an ordinary act. If the latter be true written constitu tions are absurd attempts on the part of the people to limit a power in its own nature illimitable." Before we throw over the Con stitution, with all the restraints and limitations on the immediate power of government that the framers deliberately wrote into it, let us remember what Abraham Lincoln said of the system it cre ated: "Whoever rejects it does of necessity fly to anarchy or to des potism." j And though we might fly to one^ or the other alternative, the con- j sequences would be none the lessi disastrous.?Touth's Companion.:? I Gas System Would Save Waste. Tokio. July 16.?The people of j Tokio, according to Baron Goto, i the-progressive mayor of the city, waste approximately 15.OftO.OOO- yen J yearly in fuel" which might be saved by the establishment of an up-to- | date gas system. This was explain-] ed by the mayor at the inaugura- ! tion meeting of the Tokio Munici- ? pal research bureau which has j been organized with a view of se curing an improvement in munici- j pal utilities, and, in the words of j the mayor, "make Tokio the model; city of Japan." The present gas plants, accord ing to the mayor, are not giving the service which the-people have: a right to demand and he proposed that all of them be taken over by j the city. "If anyone," said Mayor j Goto, "discussed the adjustment of i high prices without studying the j volume and cost of fuel consumed by the people of Tokio, he would i be making the mistake of putting ; the- cart before the- horse. "According to the estimate now j available the people of Tokio an- ; mially consume at their homes: ; 1-7.420.0O0 sacks of charcoal valued at 42.Gfta.000 yen: 31,000.000 kwan of wood, valued at 5.850,000 yen | and producing 350.300.000,000 cal- j dries of heat; 400.000 tons of coal j and 40,000 tons of coke." This, he claimed, could be re placed by gas at a cost of 33.750.- j 000 yen while the forests of the country would also be saved from the charcoal burners. Canada's Parry Export Trade In creases.

A federal judge presiding in a case in New York City the other ; day took pecasion first to warn and then to fine an attorney for buHy fcng a witness in his cross-examina "tion. This jurist declared with con siderable emphasis that he did not propose to have lawvers terrorizing witnesses, insulting them and dis turbing the dignity of his court by yelling at persons testifying under oath "as though they were dogs." There are many laymen and not a few lawyers who will agree that the sort of ..cross-examination, to which some witnesses are subjected is little short of verbal assault, within the meaning of the law. It is high time the courts were protecting witnesses against such tactics on the pan of lawyers. The plain facts are that many an at torney with a weak case seeks to break down the testimony of some opposing witnesses by harassing and humiliating them in court. In every such instance the judge owes it to his position to act in a-r cordance with the example of the New York federal jurist. He not only fined the offending lawyer heavily, but threatened to send him to jail for repetition of the offense. Where members of the bar are lacking in consideration for the feelings of those who are testify ing under oath and lacking also in personal courtesy, they should be taught all three by the most dras tic means.

Tbc Crime Wave - (Xewberry Observer) [ The crime wave is a very present I problem in this state, and, judging ; from the newspapers, it is so every i where* Many causes have been f enumerated, and many remedies j have been suggested. The usual ' cause assigned is "ignorance," and I the usual remedy suggested is "ed j ucation." . . * Both the cause and the remedy are very, very vague. Ignorance I of some things would be the best j thing a young man- eoukl possess. I Education along wrong lines is a I worse curse than ignorance?worse j for the possession and worse for the ; community in which, he lives:-The j fact is a great many young persons ! know a great deal more than is good for them. - "The "sheltered life" is regarded by many parents as out-of-date, and plastic youths are left to learn whatever the street and the* high ways and the byways teach them; to go their own gait whithersoever j it-may lead; to do as they please, j If by any lucky chance they turn jout right, well and good! If they j go wrong, so much -the worse, j What , chance has the uncontrolled j boy or girl ? in his day to make good? All "education" - isv. not book learning: that is good as far as it goes: but-it does not go far enough. In this day of many schools and compulsory attendance and liberal appropriations; it is scarcely passi ble for young people to grow- up '"ignorant" of books. Illiteracy is fast disappearing. But neither boys nor girls * are better ? than j boys and girls were In . the days j when parents had to pay for their children's education if they could, j and if they could not, the children had. to get along soiae way without it. ,..- . ..There has been - great improve ment in education; but along with the good education children get from schools, is another sort of ed 11 cation, or we might say many ? other sorts, that' are not good, for I which the young persons of a form [ er generation knew, little jot noth i ing. We would, not disparage school education.- on the contrary, I we urge it by all means, and-would j put no limit to it.. When the wise man said/"*^raln I iap a child- m the way he should ! go,** "we doubt , if he had schools or " books or teachers in his'mirfdr'he ?was thinking of home life and the ^parents and ho*ne training. v. Skd I to say,, there is where^ training is i being neglected and nothing else j has . taken its place: nothing-else will or can take its place. . . Most ehiidren are permitted" to go where tney please, wheii they please and stay as long- as they please; to seehat they please and hear what they ? please and read - what - they pleasef in short, to follow their [ own bentv and to get- that **bent" I from anybody: they may taker- '-a [ fancy to or that, may take a fancy [ to them. Is it any ~ wonder that many I young persons go astray? Is it anj; ' wonder that there are. many ,? crimes? The men and women who j commit the crimes- are just grown* r up children, "trained up" -r- but not "trained up in the way they i should go'?the way in which only loving, parents can tram them. * "Train up a child in the way he should go," is a wise exhortation; \ the reward will be when the child 1 comes to-be a man or a woman I and the parents will have the su | pre me satisfaction of knowing hn j "will not depart from it." * *r. If there were- everywhere* the I proper home training and to this I were added a strict and impartial , enforcement ef law, there would i be a great reduction in crime, and this would be a much better coun try to live in. ~. - -.? ? ?? * '-? The Bootlegger Vote".- 7 (Charleston News and Courier). It might be "Worth millions> of dollars1 yearly to the bootle*g^er whiskey interests of South Caro lina to name the State's next gov ernor. They know this well. It Is. im portant that the people of South Carolina who do not wish to -see this state again in the grip of :a whiskey ring worse than the old state dispensary in its worst days should know* it also. . v. - Cole L. Blease, now candidate for governor, was the outstanding champion of the state dispen sary when it was fairly bursting with rottenness. He is the long-standing political friend and aHy of Joe Tolbert. Re publican head mogul in South Carolina, in spite of the fact that Tolbert has always been an out and out Republican, aligned al ways with the Old Guard, while Blease has-usually claimed to be a Democrat. Federal prohibition agents are named from Washington, but pre sumably the recommendation of the Republican dispenser of patronage is likely to govern. State prohibition agents are nam ed by the governor. Figure out for yourself how the bootleggers probably voted last Tuesday and how they will likely vote on September 12.
