for the purchase of diplifhelia
anti-toxin and in vetoing the bill
for the medical inspection OF
school children was sharply
criticised by President j. w.
Kervey in his address today be-
fore the South Carolina Medical
association.
THE governor, said DR..
Kervey, would casually ap-
prove of spending 100000 for
not essential additions to the
state house, while in the next
breath he ruthlessly vetoes an
appropriation of a paltry $4,000
ior the purchase of diptheria
anti toxin to save the lives of
hundreds of poor mems
children who without its admin
istration must perish.
The governors veto OF the
medical inspection bill was char
acterized as "a most deDlorable
instance of demagogic appeal to
the masses. y
Two physicians, DR., hervey
declared. had by their vote help
ed to sustain the governor veto
of this measure, a thing that
was ''humiliating to q devoted
profession, and in the face OF
the unanimous desire OF the

alton.

THE DEMOCRATS
Democratic Prospects Are Bright
According to Our Washing

[ stand by my forecast OF
two months ago--that the De-
mocracy in National Convention
is going to nominate and the
people Of the United States elect,
Champ Clark of Missouri. The
work of the extra session and
Clark part in it is CONSPICUOUS
ly creditable to him and spells

he has made good
There is no man in this
country who more shrewdlv and
intelligently understands what
the Democratic party is now
fighting for and what it would
fight for than Champ Clark.
Mark you, when he is nominal
ed by the next National Demo
cratic Convention we are going
to have the best and most ef-
fective public-srvaking candi-
date this country ever say. He
will rally, arouse and unite the
national Democracy as he has
rallied. reused and made efec-
tive in solid phalanx the Demo
Gratis OF the House, and just as
he won over Republican, aid in
the House, he will win many
thousand of voters who never
before cast a Democratic ballot.
Another thing pleasant to
think about in the event of his
election is that he will cary with
him a sympathetic Congress.
1t has happened several times
that Presidents have failed to
get along with Congress, large
ly because they had never had
Congressional experience. That
was the foundation of Cleve-
lands troubles. Champ Clark
has. had eighteen years of this
kind of experience and no man
in either party has ever enjoved
more friendships. He under
stands Congress and knows
Congressman. They under
stand and value him as a patri-
otic, progrcs ssive American, with
out a flaw of fanaticism. He
comes from the common people.
When Clark is elected every

very good to me as on old fash
ioned Democrat to hear that
sort of talk coming from Repub.
licans, who have been in au-
thority so long and who haye
been leaders of their party in
all the POLITICAL campaigns for
the last thirty years. From the
outlook, I agree absolutely with
their sentiments, that unless
the Democrats play the Internal
fool at their convention in Balti-
more, they certainly will win
the Presidency and the next
House of Representatives and
probably the next United States
Senate. If they do, they will
win sometning that has not oc-
cured since Cleveland's last cleo
tion in 1892, and then can 6e-
monstrate to the entire country
the fact that the Democrats of
this country who are elected as
representatives of the people,
can be constructive legislators
in the interest of the people in
stead Of obstructive and de-
strucf'57e members of Congress.
It is with a profound feeling of
personal misgiving, that | at
tempt to prognosticate anything
appertaining to this campaign,
but when you add two and two
together and recognize the fact
that Roosevelt is ripping the Re
publican party up the back
every time he opens his mouth
and that La Follete is tearing
great holes in the Republican
armor every time he makes a
speech, it is plain to be seen that
the Republican party is in a bad
way and that it is gradually
getting worse. A Republican
said to me to-day that Roose-
welt was out to destroy the Re-
publican party and it looked
very much to him as though he
were going to be avery $50 sssas6a
full destroyer. It also looks that
way to every man in the Capt.
tol Of this country who keeps
his fingers on the pulse of poll
tics and his ear to the ground
listening to the echoes that come
from the warrior. Writing this
correspondence as I do and re-
ceiving the exchanges Of the
newspapers in the country who
print it, I can come pretty near
making decent guess as to
what is going on in the minds
of the people. It has
taken a long time for the
people to arouse themsel> es and
do something for themselves
and at last they have come to
the conclusion to get busy.
In all my political experience,
and especially as that of a news
paper correspondent at Wash
ington, l have never seen the
sentiment SO thoroughly in har-
mony from both a Republican
and a Democratic standpoint
that this is a Democratic year.
that the Democrats are going to
sweep the country. During the
last ten yea S [ have written let
tiers to the Democratic press re-
failing the rottenness of the Re-
publican party and its sins
) against the common people of
this country and often [ have
!; concluded with "HoWlepg. ea:
Lord, will the people be fooledg'
My honest opinion is now. if it
is worth anything to the readers
of this correspondence, that the
people Of this country will be
fooled no longer and will now
see that dishonesty wins not
more than honesty.
