dealing with the liquor problem.
Dr.. I. M. Woods made one Of
the bestspeeches he has Jet made
in a compaign, for he not only
held the attention Of his hearers
but he made his position on the
educational institutions clear as
crystal. He favors these institu-
tionS, and claims they are neces-
Sary as factories to turn out teach
ers fo,. our common schools. He
wants economy and warned his
hearers about giving heed to all
manner Of promises which
amount to naught. BE directed
attention to the record he made
while in the lower house, and that
stood for slashing anything which
had the appearance Of extrava-
sance. He has experience as a
legislator and although he was
disposed to retire from the pollt-
cal arena this year. his friends
from all over the county would
not hear OFT, and because Of their
kindness to HIM in the past he
yielded to them to offer himself
again. He favored good roads and
Improvement generally within
our means but he was opposed to
extravaganza. On the liquor ques-
ton he was neither in favor Of
prohibition or local option. he did
not think few men in the leglS-
lature should assume the respon-
sibi!itv to pretend to settle this
question. and if elected he would
work to have the matter submit
ted TO the people for settlement.
D. L. Green was on his own
heath and announced that he
would not undertake to make a
speech other than to thank the
people for their support in the
past and he asked for continu-
ance Of it. Rev. r. a. Smith Of
Sandy Grove had propouuded
questions to the other candidates
and as Mr.. Green was about to re-
tire he reminded him Of them and
demanded that he answer.
The questions were in effect:
How do you stand on the liquor
question: Are you in favor of the
formation of new counties? Where
4 township desires to vote itself
into another county do you favor
the expense to come out Of the old
county or would you favor it to
be paid by the movers. We think
these are Mr.. Smiths questions,
not having them before Us we are
relying on memory. All Of the
candidates for the house replied
to them and all Of them were op-
posed to disrupting Clarendon,
none Of them favored taxing any
territory from Clarendon, and
when the people Of a township
desired to vote themselves into
another county they should bear
the expense thereof, and also
where new county is desired.
the owners Of the enterprise
should be made to pay the ex-
pense, it is not fair to the rest OF
the county to burden them with a
tax, because a section desires to
! 60 elsewhere. it is enough for the
old county to lose when it loses
its territory.
At the conclusion of the speech.
es for the lower house, dinner was
announced. The ladies of the
Methodist church had prepared a
dinner and the proceeds went for
i the parsonage. It was splendid
dinner and hugely enjoyed.
The crowd was reassembled
after dinner. and the candidates
for the Senate wound up the
meeting. each of them were given
! twenty minutes to discuss the is
sues but the first speaker was in
ten.upted by a heavy cloud which
was threatening rain, that the
chairman consented to remove
the limit for both candidates. The
first speaker was Louis Applet
the present Senator after making
few remarks about his relations
to the people OF Salem and ex-
pressing his gratitude to them
| for the confidence they have man
ifested in him he proceeded to
give an account OF his steward
ship as their Senator. He told his
hearers that he endeavored to
serve them faithfully, that in all
of his service he endeavored to
represent the masses, that while
the legislature was in session he
made ii a rule to give TO the peo-
pie an account Of what was beng
done, the part the others OF the
delegation. as we'll as he had in it.,
that it would be impossible for
any man to tell an audience il a
! limited time all that was done in
service of four years. He said
the Senate in which he served
must have recognized his ability,
TO be an active force as he was
assigned to its most important
committees. He was a member Of
the committee on finance which
has TO do, with the finances OF the
State, and on this committee he
Ia bored with all Of his might to
keep appropriations down, when
ever a proposition was made to
