NO SAILING UNDER FALSE
COLORS.

In South Carolina next spring when
vention the issue will be made that will
make Senator McLaurin recant his Re-
publican views or be refused he right to
run in Democratic primary. The plan
is to so amend the party rules that the
committee will add to the oath to be
subscribed to bv the candidate a para
graph stating that the candidate recog-
nizs that the platform of the last Demo-
cratic National Convention states the
principles of the party and that such
principles are subscribed to by the can
didate.''
editorial approving the plan. the Columbia
State says:
1.-THE action proposed commends itself
fully to our judgment 1t is in harmony
with views we have long held and ex-
pressed as to the proper party discipline
in South Carolina. When Populism was
rampant in this State We urged the APP
plication of similar test, and at that
time many of the men now supporting
Senator McLaurin endorsed our position.
1t will doubtless make great difference
to them that a test vote is now pro-
posed as defense against the insidious
encroaehments of Republicanism; but we
repel Republicanism on the one hand as
eight or nine years ago we repealed Pop
ulism on the other. In our opinion, while
the Democratic party should seek at the
general election the votes OF all men, 1t
should carefully preserve to it's own mem
bers the nomination Of its candidates and
the declaration of it's principles.
"Populism has passed away, but recent
events have proved that there exist to-
day among the white people of South Car
DINA elements utterly antagonistic in
their views of national policy. The ques-
tion is: Shall we give harborage in the
Democratic ranks to the emissaries of
Republicanism who would use this mis-
taken hospitality to debauch and pervert
against their own interests the Democrats
who were brought into such intimate re-
lations with them? For. our part we are
glad to see the progress of the idea that
political party should +be homogeneous
and not congeries of warning elements;
and that it is not necessary or expedient
that all white men in South Carolina
should profess allegiance to the Demo-
cratic party and its principles when they
bear no true loyalty toward either. The
time has come, so everybody is beginning
to think, when we can afford to have two
white parties in South Carolina The
time has come when Democrats are be-
ginning generally to realize that an enc
my outside OF the camp is better than one
inside of it. Segregated, and constrained
to operate in the open under their own
proper name and flag, the white men in
this State who hold to Republican doc
trines would prove in numbers an incon-
siderable minority; but recognized as
Democrats, given the prestige of helparty
name, in their work of seduction they are,
as they must continue to be, an element
vociferous beyond the strength of their
numbers aud disturbing and demoralizing
in their influence. The quickest and
surest way to secure a measure of politi-
cal peace in the State is to let them
work for Republ.canism from without
rather than from within the Democratic
organization"

by thirteen routes. The roads are be-

roads are required if the service is to
be maintained Some townships are
bonding themselves heavily for this
purpose.
Where there is clay soil a new kind
of road is being constructed. The clay
is taken off of the road to the depth
of two feet and is burned. 1t becomes
as hard as brick and is then replaced
in fakey form on the road, which
becomes as hard as iron. Where there
are coal mines, the refuse is used on

A native guide who had been picked
up where the expedition landed led
the troops to the place, and was sent
on to enquire whether the insurgents
wanted to surrender or fight. He
came running back in terror and an
nounced that they wanted to fight, and
did not stop running until he got we'll

position and routed the insurgents,
killing 1855 of them and having one

st. Paul, June 4th, 1901.
c. Q. Daley, Esq, County Attor-
ney, Mankato Minn.-Dear Sir: On
the third day of May, in answer of
your favor of the Both of April, |
wrote you with reference to the provi-
sions of chapter 272 of the laws of 1901
as applied to the city of Mankato. The
questions which you submitted in you
communication were as follows:
LIST. Does the term of Office of the
existing board of directors expire on
the third Saturday of July, the day
fixed by said act of 1901 as the time
of holding the election of library di-
rectors.
In answer to this inquiry | stated in
my letter to you that, in my opinion,
such was the effect of the act of 1901.
and that new board of library direc-
tors should be elected to fill their
places on the date provided in said act.
With respect to this question, 1 do not
desire to modify the opinion express
3D. but do with reference to the second
question which you submitted in your
favor and which is as follows:
Shall the electors of the city of Man
kato cast their ballots at one polling
place or shall the election be conduct
ed under the general election law and
the electors of the four election and
voting precincts of the city cast their
ballots at the election precincts within
which they reside?
l advised you in answer to this
question that in my judgment, the
provisions of the general election law
applied.
l desire at this time to recall nv
opinion given to your second inquiry
and to now state in answer thereto
that, in my judgment, the provisions
of the act of 1901 as to the time.
place and manner of conducting the
election should be strictly followed,
and that the electors of the city of
Mankato should assemble at some suit
able place in the city to be named in
the notice which shall be published at
least ten days prior to the time of
meeting at which time and place there
shall be appointed a chairman, clerk
an Judge of election who shall proceed
to the conduct of the election as in
said act directed. The limitation
placed by the act upon the time the
polls shall be open msy, l think, be ex-
tended by action of the electors with
out invalidating the election, if the
purpose of such extension of time be
to accommodate the electors of the city
who desire to cast their ballots at such
election and who are present within
the hour but are unable to vote by rea-
son of the number desiring to exercise
the same privilege.
That provision of section two of
said chapter as follows: ''And the
time and place of election may be the
same as that at which the school cleo
ton in said locality is held, is not,
in my judgment mandatory and may
or may not be followed.
A copy of this letter has been sent
to NJ. b Wood, president of the
library board at Mankato.
Yours very truly,
WA. J. DONAHOWER,
Asst. Atty. General

ELECT LIBRARY BOARD
Last Legislature Makes Radical
Change in the Law.
Applies TO all Cities Under so, 000...
ion of the Attorney General as
to Its Provisions.

Under law passed by the legisla-
ture last winter library boards, which
have heretofore been appointed by the
mayor, must be elected by vote of
the people, the election to take place
on the third Saturday in July, which
this year will occur on the Goth of that
month. Under it's provisions the pro-
cedure this year will be somewhat as
follows:
At least 10 days before July 20, the
city clerk will post in various places
in the city notices stating that on the
above date an election will be held at
the city hall or some other designated
place, from the hours of to o'clock
p. N. AT that date and hour, those
who are interested and assemble at the
hall, will nominate and elect a chair
man, assistant chairman and clerk of
the meeting, who will constitute the
election board Balloting will then
commence and continue for one hour,
any person who desires and who sup
plies tickets being eligible for election.
At the end of the hour the ballots will
be counted. and the three persons re-
ceiving the highest number of votes
will be declared elected for term of
three years the three receiving the
next highest for term of two years,
and the three the next highest for a
term of one year. 1t will be observed
that there will be no previous nomina-
tions nor official ballots, the entire
election being conducted similar to
town meeting.
Each year thereafter on the third
Saturday in July three directors only
will be elected for term of three
years, but the election will be called
by the secretary of the library board.
The change in the law was made
very quietly, and but few knew any
thing about it until after the laws
were published. The attention of DR..
Wood of the library board of this city
was called to the law and he expressed
LIE SUI Pr SC dS LIZ Sdlu Iuclc udu UCOu
no comment upon it in library circles
through the state. The law is some
what peculiarly worded and as a result
City Attorney Daley wrote to Attor-
ney General Douglas for his opinion
on the same and we give below a note
from President NJ. B. Wood of the
local library board giving..a trief his
tory o.. the passage of the law, and the
Opinionlof VIM. J. Donahower, assist
ant attorney general on the law:
Editor Free Press: | herewith hand
you an opinion relative to chapter 272
of laws of 1901.
According to my information the
law was asked for by ladies' club of
Albert Lea, it was drawn by Mrs.
Conant, a lady attorney of Mime
apolis, and was introduced by Senator
Somerville at the request of the FEEDER
alton of Woman's clubs Its operation
affects every city and village in the
state except st. Paul, Minneapolis
and Duluth and is liable to be the
cause Of good deal of trouble as well
as some expense. So far as can learn
it was not asked for by any library
board and none of the boards knew it
was in existence until after its publ
cation.
Yours truly,
NJ. B. WOOD,
President Library Board.
