Mr. Chairman, Ladies and Fellow
Democrats:
The rules Of the Democratic party
of this State are such, that when a
man becomes a candidate for any
position within the gift of the people,
he is required to go before the people
and discuss the questions at issue and
demonstrate his fitness for the posi-
ton 70 which he aspires.
In obeyance to this righteous re-
quirement Of our party, 1 stand be-
fore you today. / am here fellow
citizens for the greatest office within
your gift, that Of Governor of South
Carolina. 1 realize fully the great
responsibility which I assume, in be-
coming candidate for this exhalted
position. I realize that the great dig
nifty and honor Of the position has
been magnified even by the chara cter
and type of men that you have chosen
to fill this position in years gone by.
But / come before you, conscious
Of a deep and sincere love for our
great State in all her varied interests.
/ come feeling that am familiar with
her needs. and knowing that there
Is an all wise Providence who not
only shapes and controls the destinies
of men, but the destines Of States
and Nations. I therefore, feel en-
couraged TO ask you for your suffrages
and that you elect me chief magis
trate Of your State
1t Is we'll known to us all that there
are three coordinate branches of our
state Government, separate and des-
tinct the one from the other. There
are the Legislative, Judicial and Ad-
ministrative Departments. 1 have had
twelve years experience in the Lepis-
lative Department, and it Is upon the
record made, and the experience OBJ
tained while your servant in that ca
pacity that I am standing today. 1t
is upon my record both public and
private that I am asking you to Judge
me, fellow citizens, and upon this I
am willing to stand or fall. 1 come
to you from the proud, the great
County Of Kershaw. and while I am
stranger to many of you, / come
asking your suffrages, strengthened
and encouraged by the fact that the
people of that County, the County of
kershaw, Chestnut and Kennedy have
given me their unanimous endorse
ment, and join with me In asking the
people of South Carolina to elect me
Governor.
| come before you fellow citizens
with the proud distinction of never
having been defeated by the people
Of my county for any position al

twenty years. For eight years l fill

years has been spent in your Legis-

Whiskey.

I regret, fellow citizens that the
whiskey question is to be considered
at all in this campaign. 1t has been
the disturbing element in our politics
Tor the past twenty years and until
the people Of the State are sick and
tired Of 1t. While it's importance can
not be questioned, there are other
questions of equal importance and
they are many. I propose to state
my position briefly upon this quest
ion, and then pass on to other and
mightier subjects.
l am a prohibitionist from prac-
tice and principle. 1 believe that the
next Legislature should enact
Statewide prohibition law, and if I
am elected Governor Of the State,
promise to enforce the law without
fear or favor and to the very best
or my ability. l have always been
prOhibitionist but advocated the State
dispensary as the method of control
best calculated to effectually DESTROY
the old bar system, and prepare our
people for statewide prohibition. /

A COLLEGE WHICH
HAS LOST $1,000, 900

Universities need money go greatly
and the benefit that flows from Its ex"
penditure under wise educational trus-
teeship is 50 great and so widely eX-
tended that gifts TO universities and
colleges, which cause JOY to the I'M.
mediate benefciaries. are regarded
with warm approval and satisfaction by
the general public The withdrawal Of
very substantial sum once offered
causes corresponding disappoint-
ment. The loss by Princeton university
of large gift which was all ready
to be placed in its hands is heard with
sorrow by Princetonians and with sym
pathy by all.
Mr.. William Cooper Proctor s prof
fered gift to the university of 100000
for its graduate school was coupled with
the condition that another half mil
lion would be raised TO make the sum
81, 100000. This was guaranteed and
in sight. There is also 100000 for a
graduate school given by the will of
the late Mrs. Thompson Swan, so but
for the friction developed over the ac-
ceptance of Mr., Proctor S gift the uni
versity would have been In early pos
session of nearly one-half of the 3d.
100000 estimated to be necessary to
put the graduate school squarely on its
feet. 1t is already organized and in
operation, but lacks the endowment and
extension which Mr.. Proctor's gift
would have put IL in possession of.
The withdrawal of the offer is Sc
rious loss, not merely to Princeton, but
to the cause of higher education IN this
country.
Difference of opinion developed be-
tween Mr.. Proctor and the university
authorities as TO the site of the proposed
graduate college Mr.. Proctor. who is
an alumnus, thought with most of the
alumni that the graduate school should
be on the university grounds-not In
the heart of the university, but n lit
tie to one side. AS legal and other OBJ
by Mr. Proctor, he waived his prefer
epce in that regard, but other Difficult
tics we're raised and Mr.. Proctor's pa
tience became exhausted and he with
drew his offer and Princeton sees with
grave concern $l,000,000 go by ithe
board
Princeton is strong in her alumni,
liberal spirit Most of them have a
vivid and abiding impression of how
quickly the late President James Me-
Gosh would have annexed Princeton to
that 81 100000 once it came within
speaking distance. Mr.. Proctor does
not appear TO have been dictatorial
or unduly insistent on conditions IN
making his liberal offer. 1t is incum-
bent on those who have turned away
this grant to Justify it if they can OF
make good the loss 10 the university
from some other source. Doubtless the
manifestation of spirit Of Cancellation
and concession could still repair the
mischief and correct the apparent mis-
understanding AS the alumni of
Princeton have voice in its control we
do not DESPAIR of this being brought
about. Press,

SMOKING THE HAREM
OUT OF AS|AT|C LIFE
New Order of WOmanhOOd Is
Springing Up in the
Orient.

Oriental women are casting aside their
wells. Even tho rank and file OF them
are revolving against being penned up in
harems says the Travel Magazine.
The word harem is Arabic, aud means
privacy, seclusion. The combining of
women In harems, that is TO say, seclud-
Ing them and denying them the privi-
lege of talking with or coming in con-
or nearest male relatives. is a Mohamme-
dan custom. and harcms are TO be found
existing in every country where the in
luence OF the Moslem has been dominant,
The downfall OF the harem Is the great
est good that modernism is accomplish
Ing in Asia. and with it is dying poyg-
amy.
y new order OF womanhood is spring
orient. Masses OF oriental women are
willing, nay eager, TO share the respon-
stbilities of publio life with men. More
over, they are willing to work with them
shoulder TO shoulder.
In every Asiatic country you see the
new woman conducting special schools
for girls and neighborhood centers for
women OF comparatively advanced ages.
These institutions arc resigned TO edu-
cate the present and rising generations
Of women to properly discharge their va
girls and women are taught what con-
stitutes their real rights, Here they are
also Inspired to unlinchnSly and steadily
labor TO obtain and maintain these
rights.
Paradoxical as II may seem, the most
favored and successful manner in which
the oriental woman carries on her propa-
ganda work is through the channels of
the newspapers and even magazines. In
various parts OF Asia. especially In Chi
ma, India and Japan, women are conduct
ing publications to further the cause. In
Japan the Twentieth Century Woman, a
radical monthly magazine. Is edited by
a woman. and many of her contributors
are women. China has three nourlshing
publications edited by and for women.
In Hindustan is also a magazine for
women. II is printed in English, and.
