Speaking Of the municipal mud
die in Charleston politics, Senator
Irby says:
"The State Constitution (of the
Democratic party) does not apply
to the case at all" From this Con-
stitution, Senator Irby derives his
authority as Chairman of the State
Democratic Executive Committee /.
His opinion, then, on Charleston
municipal affairs is entitled only
to the respect due to that of a
prominent politician, speaking in
u private capacity. -,
Senator Irby sustains. the posit-
ion Of the Charleston News & Cou-
rier anu the so called "Ring" In
opposition to tho "Reform Ele.
ment," represented by the Charles
ton World and the Belgian Block
farmers.
Senator Irhy is necessarily "right
just so long as he is right" and in
this instance we are inclined to be.
lieve that he isn't as far wrong as
usual. The trouble is that when
politics get stirred up in Charleston
the dust of four or five years back
rises and blinds all outside obser-
yerS.

The Charleston "Rtng" held a
convention last Thursday and adop-
ted Il constitution for the municipal
Democratic party in accordance
with the plan laid down in the
State Democratic Constitution.
This was about all that was de-
manded by the "Reformers' and so
it seems that the expectation of
the "machine' getting out of order
has vanished. The "Ring" is a
mere cogwheeI anyhow.
