CANDIDATES CALMLY
WAITING ON PRESIDENT
Disappointment Shown Over Failure to
Appoint New District Com
missioner.

There is feeling OF disappointment
among the friends of the several aspir-
ants to the vacant commssionership of
the District. because the President did
not make the appointment to the posi-
tion before leaving Sycamore Hill on his
New England trip. The President had
been informed il diplomatic way that
it was highly desirable, though not abb
sclutely necessary. that the appointment
should be made soon on account of de-
layed public business. and it was ex-
pected that he would act as soon as
Tuesday OF last week.
II Is stated, however. by those best
posted in the matter that the appoint
ment will be made within a few days,
the President being desirous of giving
the matter a little more attention than
he was able to do while the preparation
of addresses for the New England trip
was in prosres during the last few
days at his summer home
Nothing whatever is being done by the
several men whose names have been
most prominently mentioned in cOnnec-
tion with the vacant office. They and
their friends are waitin~ for the de-
liverance from oyster Bay which shall

was asked.
Mr.. Roosevelt's policy. recently an
nounced. to build up respectable Re.
publican party in the South" said the
Senator. admits that that party ther.
is not now respectable: nor can II be
made respectable by reorganizing It
upon the basis of Federal patronage
President Roosevelt is not the first Re-
publican President who has dreamed OF
respectable Republican party IN the
South
The President will find the presen,
leaders of the Republican party in the
South the chief opponents of his new
movement These leaders are generally
Federal ofticeholders. and they will op-
pose any move which has for its object
the enlargement OF the number of eligi-
Bile Federal officeholdera Every time
Senator Pritcfrard gives Federal Office
TO disgruntled ex-Democrat he makes
trouble for himself and his party among
this ofiice-seelling and oficeholding ele-
ment.
The only way 10 build up new Re-
publican party in the South is to di5band
the present Republican party, find new
leaders, and build from the ground.
President Roosevelt is a valiant man
but the labor before him in this new on.
terprise will surpass that of the ia
nous Hercules should he meet even Nith
modicum of success. We will watch
the process of tearing down and build
ing anew with keen interest"
Referring TO Republican chances of
success in North Carolina, Senator
Simmons said:
The statements that Senator Pritch-
ard expects his party to carry Ike
State are tco ridiculous to receive se-
r1ous consideration. | suppose IL IS all
right for him to tax that way here at
Washington probably there is nothing
else for him TO say; but have not found
a man in North Carolina sufficiently Wis.,

REPUBLICANS MAY AGREE
Tom Johnson Gleeful Over Fancied
Democratic Advantage in the Pro-
posed Struggle OF Lawmakers The
Bryan Element Kept in. Good Humor.

CLEVELAND, Aug. 23-An extra ses-
sion Of the Legislature is an annoying
thing for any party on the eve of an
election. That is the situation which
confronts the Ohio Republicans. The
Legislature will meet on Monday in re-
sponse TO the call of Governor Nash. Its
work will be TO pass a general law for
4 municipal code
Nobody wants a political campaign
( till we'll into October. People generally
are so busy that they would like 10 keep
| politics entirely out of the extra ses-
sion. so that they would not be bothered
with the discussions. Their wishes in
these matters will not be realized
The Republicans have decided ma
jority in both houses. The responsible
ity, therefore. is entirely with them, and
if is fortunate that the majority is large
enough TO allow a wide latitude of opin-
ion. In the State Legislature there is
what is known as party of "insur-
gents" Some of them insist that before
regulars and will be in control of the
party organizations. More likely the
different elements will harmonic.
The insurgents cannot afford TO join
hands with the Democrats, and the reg
ulars cannot afford TO be dependent on
the Democratic minority for the passage
OF legislative acts.
That is the situation which makes for
harmony among the Republicans in the
end. While there is something of an
alignment on the lines OF State admin
istration and anti-State administration,
as also the Hanna following and the
forak6r following. there is not a dis
tinct breach. One Senator has as much
al stake as the other Senator in reach |
ing common basis of legislation.
Supreme Court Decision.
The present trouble arose over the
decision Of the Supreme Court declar
ing the existing municipal government
Of Cleveland Illegal and unconstitu
tional It also gave hint that if other
organic acts were brought be-
fore it the same decision would be rem
dered. The court simply put "A veto on

same time It pulled the underpinning

a general municipal code which would
stand the test of the courts scrutiny.
Governor Nash some weeks ago called
the special session to meet the eiper-
gency Since that time the discussion
has beer over the new law. The gov
ernor is himself lawyer of very high
/ standing. With the aid of members of
the State Bar Association and with the
advice and counsel Of the party leaders
he has been framing general law,
which will be known as the Nash code,
In its legal features it is said to be
comprehensive and clear and certain to
command support. The difference Of
opinion is over its political provisions
/ The acute point is whether the police
! boards of the different cities shall be
appointed by the governor or not. Gov
cInor Nash and those closely associated,
with him favor this plan. Some influ-
ential Republican leaders oppose it.
Variety of Government.
Under the present system of special
Legislation the Ohio cities have a grea,
variety Of municipal government. good

board system, Cleveland does not Other
municipalities are Indifferent.
The National Municipal League in
nonpartisan way has been interesting

cipal home rule without politics. Active
party men claim that there can be no

League favors the general plan OF vest

enable the responsibility to be brought
directly home TO him, but il wants this |

service. The Ohio politicians in the |
cities have not yet becE1e civil service |

ness realized all this over a year ago.
The moment ne appreciated the
strength OF the McLaurin movement and
the danger to his political domination
which its success involved he deter
mined to force the fighting before the
movement was thoroughly unders tool
and appreciated. Consequently we find
! Tillman picking a quarrel with Nc

/ ing him into joint resignation in order
that he might throw the fun force of
his personal popularit- into 4 fight

before the latter could organize his
forces. McLaurin fell into this trap. and
was only rescued from speedy political
aUnihiIation through Governor Me
Sweeneys refusal to consider the resig-
ration5 and his request that they be
Withdrawn. Baked in this scheme, Till
man determined to kill the movement of
the Commercial Democracy by debarring
McLaurin or anyone standing upon his
political platform from entering the race
for United States Senator at the pri-
mary election. In the meantime Nc
Laurins Strength grew apace. Every
speech he made increased his adherents
and aroused greater enthusiasm in his
cause. To check the spread of the new
redemption movement, TilIman ordered
cut all the candidates opposing Nc |
Laurin and a preliminary campaign was /
hastily inaugurated.
Speeches Denouncing McLaurin.
Speeches were made in a number of |
counties denouncing McLaurin as a Re
publican and his movement as Republi- /
canism in disguise. In lieu of legitimate |
argument this political war cry exer-
cised potent influence. 1t is one of /
Tillman's favorite devices for distractfns
public attention from the real issues at
stake in political controversy. Till
manism in South Carolina is a serviIe
imitation Of Organism. Any deviation
from this Populistic strain of Democra-
cy is denounced by Tillman and his ad-
herents as Republicanism. Republican

thorn in Tillman's side. and he lost no
time in plucking it out.
At Union. 5. c., shortly after the pre-
liminary campaign was inaugurated TILL
man appeared in person and while os-
tensibly declaring in favor of a handsof
policy he took occasion TO make a speech
in the course of which he made this re-
mark: If you mill owners continue
your support of McLaurin. | will go
down into your mill villages at night
and raise hell" 1t was quite a charac
teristic remark and it was quite suf
ficient. From that time up. to the pres
ent not one mill president has oyertly
suggested his sympathy with the Nc
Laurin movement.
The next time Tillman appeared upon
the scene was AT Manning. $. c.. shortly
before the time fixed for the Democratic
state convention. At this meeting he
made another Of his characteristic
speeches. The object of his appearance
there was to influence the county con
ventions in their choice of delegates to
the State convention. 1t was necessary
to his designs that the delegates should
be favorable to the imposition of dras-
tic oath which would effectually ex-
ciude McLaurin and all who agreed with
him from candidacy before the pri-
mares. In that speech he modestly an
nounced the proposition that it was alb
solutely necessary for the preservation
OF the Democratic party that measures
be taken to prevent the election to the
United States Senate of anyone who
might differ from him and his standard

as it is now" he said, with Nc
Laurin as my colleague. South Caro-
lima is without representation in the
Senate. My will is nullifed by the vote
Of my colleague. - This edct had the
desired effect When the State conven-
tion met in May Tillman prescribed the
platform and dictated the pledge for
candidates. Both we're adopted with
conspicuous unanimity ANA harmony. To
be a candidate before the primaries
either for a State offit, or for McIau-
rims seat in the United States Senate
abject servility to the Bryan platforms
Of 1895 and 1900 was required There
have been many persons, mainly out
side of South Carolina, who. not fully
appreciating the situation. have blamed
McLaurin for abandoning the fight. In
this he has been conspicuously wronged.
He could not have acted differently with
out the grOssest qualification OF him
self and an abandonment OF the very
doctrines which had made him leader
of the Commercial Democracy. He
withdrew from the race in time TO give
any man in South Carolina who was OPP
posed TO Tillmapism and yet who had
not committed himself to any well-de-
fined policy an opportunity TO enter the
race.
But no such man appeared. The four
candidates who swallowed the platform
and the pledge as explained above are
former adherents Of the Hampton Dem
ocr2cy. They have openly denounced the
doctrine OF free silver and other OF
Bryans faGs in the past How they
could swallow the pledge binding them
TO support during their term OF Office
the Bryan platforms Of 1896 and 1900"
is matter to be reconciled only with
their consciences. Yet for the honor
and welfare of South Carolina it is most
desirable that one of these four candl-
dates should be elected rather than an
openly avowed Tillmanite. II Elliott. or
Hemphill, or Henderson should be the |
nominee South Carolinas State pride |
would be in safe hands and that innate |
love Of the gentleman would not be out
ragged.
