FOR LAW AND ORDER.

The contest for law and order In
Nashville excited great interest III
Columbia, and the result Will give
great rejoicing to the lovers OF law ana
order everywhere.
When the Capitol city in an open rree
fight can meet and overcome the devil
and his cohorts, under their several
aliases, the towns of the State should
take courage and press onward.
A few special features OF this
memorable campaign should not %
overlooked. First. it was effected
through a Democratic primary; the
Democrats of Nashville thereby COM
hitting themselves and their organlza-
.ion to an open and avowed alliance
with the temperance wing Of the party.
Refusing to adopt the administration
slogan that Temperance legislation
has gone far enough. "
Second, 1t was accomplished by an
organized band of working. temperance
men; with Emphasis on the word work
ing; not theorizlng, complaining, KICK
ing temperance advocates, who are as
full of talk az they are short on work !;
hut men who have Convictions and the
courage of their convictions, and the
energy to get up and do something.
Third, The Nashville press gave
generous aid to the good government
cause, and the American especially
did valiant service in arousing public
interest and awakening the public con-
science. And when cause is JUST ana
the public conscience is awake, the
people will always do right.
Moral :-What has been done in
Nashville, can be done in Columbia.
But it cannot be done by prayer and
supplication by walls and means
and wishing; it must be done by
WORK.
Speaking of the Nashville election
the American sums 1T up as follows,
a part of which reads like it might
have been written for Columbia
THE nomination OF Albert s. Will
iams for Mayor in Thursday 8 bitterly
contested primary is gratifying
victory for law and order. 1t Is, In
truth. a great victory for the Law,
under whose protecting @gis every
community must live it 1T would
avoid the perils of anarchy. !.
"Mr. Williams, though man OF
great personal popularity and enjoy
ing wide acquaintance, had TO contest
with almost insurmountable obstacles.
He had to fight machine as compact
and we'll organized as any ever formed
IN the history of Nashville. He had
also to combat the Influence Of those
officials, city and county, who are
holding. or who have held, public
station by the aid OF saloon ana
gambling voters. On top OF this he
had to fight the lnsidious influence OF
a large and well handled corruption
fund raise by those who hoped to proht
by his aefeat. e
"To win victory in the face OF
such odds is indeed a great honor. 1t
is more. 1t IS an evidence that Nash
vile Is aweary of the crowd Wnich
has so long dominated Its poltlcai
affairs, to its ill-repute at home ana
abroad.
.sMr Williams triumphant election
In October Is assured, and then. let us
hope, we shall have an end OF the
covenant with hell which has so con-
spicuously distinguished the present
Mandy pamby administration.
