Governor-Elect Manning Planning Procedure of Action. (By J. A. Daly in Columbia Record.) South Carolina is now turning its attention to the activities of the members-elect of the legislature that convenes January 12 in framing a program of legislation, while the State officials who were not re-elected are planning to relinquish their offices, those returned for another term are closing the year and planning their activities under the new administration, and the elect of the new administration are making preparations for their inauguration January ID? scarcely a month away. The most important event of this session of the legislature will be the inauguration of the new administration. This will occur January lb before a joint session of the General Assembly and 10 days later the inaugurated officials will assume their executive duties. Chief Justice Eugene B. Gary will administer the oatn of oilice ol Richard 1. .Manning, governor-elect, and to Andrew J. r>etnea, lieutenant governor-elect. Governor iilease's annual message will be delivered to the legislature wnen it convenes, and probably will be short. Some persons close 10 tne trovernur have iiviimsuml ti,,.;.. ....... - V..V.1 W,M1|1011 that Governor liiease will not outline any program of suggested legislation. mi ecu oi sucn action would likely be nullified by the recommendations ot .untitling, wnicli will be presented to liotli bodies wuen lie assumes ollice 2o days before adjourninent. It was niaue known by bom that their views 011 legislation neeuea by tins fc>tate were almost in every instance directly opposed. While governor-elect Manning has been silent regarding the details 01 the program ol legislation he is said to be preparing, it seems generally accepted that these suggestions will be lor comprehensive and constructive action by the law-making body. It is admitted by members of the faction he leads that there is a possibility that the legislative session will continue longer than the usual 40 days that the wishes of the new executive may be met. liy numerous leaders under Manning is talked the necessity of commissions to investigate some state institutions and various conditions thai nave uevt'iopt'u uunng me jour years of Governor lilease's administration. In some sources, the appointment oi several such commissions is described as "practically certain." Greatest activity of the legislature is expected to center around bids rt gulaung child labor, providing compulsory education, the reorganization and development of the State's educational system, state-wide prohibition and revision of the system of taxation. Such measures, with the exception of the expected bill providing state-wide prohibition, will, it is known, meet the approval of the new governor. He is not expected to ofTer any serious opposition to a bill authorizing a statewide referendum on the liquor question. In the framing of the supply bill for 1915, the ways and means committee of the house of representatives faces a task of enormous responsibility, because of the financial embarrassment now felt by the State, largely as a result of the failure of the cotton market. Representative Dick, chairman of this committee, has made it known that every effort will be* directed to conserving the state's finances, which presents the likelihood that the requests for appropriations by the various officials and institutions will be decreased largely in amount. The appropriations for new buildings will probably be minimized. So strained is the present financial I condition of the state that Treasurer [ Carter will be able to obtain the $1J15,I nnn ? 1~.i *? ?? uuu nct'vu-u i/utnuiK-i -n iu ???" terest on the bonded indebtedness only by refusing to pay numerous other claims aprainst the State, so slowly is tax money being received, it was understood. Prepatory to a fight within the legislature for a referendum vote next September, leaders of the prohibition party in this State have now petitions for such an election in circulation in every voting precinct of the State, according to their assertions. It is planned to submit these petitions to the general assembly. Called by Judge Joseph A. McCullough, of Greenville, South Carolina member of the National Child Labor committee, of New York, leaders in this State in the movement for thr passage of more stringent child labor laws met in conference here, mapper: out their campaign and formulated it outline their suggestions to the legislature. Superintendent of Education Swear ingen prepared for submission to thi legislature a hill providing compulsory education that is thought b\ leaders of that faction to meet th< approval of the new administration In some sources, it is said that thr fight for this bill has been won am: that its passage is reasonably certain In line with the campaign promise' of Manning, state officials incorporated, in the annual reports and recommendations, suggestions for various reforms, and for the passage of what they regarded as constructive legislation affecting their departments Lfeaders in business and political circles, of the Itlease and of the Manninp factions, freely state their expectation of a general over-turning of the conditions that were established during the past four years under ih. governorship of Governor Blease.
