Virg Highland, the chairman OF the
republican state committee is playing
a fine hand in the republican party.
He has his eye on the seat of Senator
Watson and it is asserted that he ia set
ting up his pins to upset Davis Elkins
and Elkins is frantic with fear. As last
resort Elkins has advocating a state
primary thinking that be will thus
split up the opposition to him and
that he will be able TO pull through. If
we mistake not Highland will easily
distance Elkins in practical politics.

There is wide difference between
the contests for the presidential nom
ination in the two political parties.
Teddy continues TO pound taft, ham,
mer and tongues while the Taft man.
ayers are making as vicious attacks on
Teddy as their fertile minds can hatch
and the whole has settled into a bitter
fight. On the other hand the contest
among the democrats while spirited
is without bitterness, and the ugly per.
sonalities in which the republicans are
lndulging.
OF the four candidates for the demo-
cratic nomination any one will be ac.
ceptable to the party and will poll
about the full party strength

Many level headed republicans de-
plore the feddy-Taft miHup and are
la hopes that co promise may be
reached by the convention dropping
both ana nominating Judge Hughes
OF the Supreme court but this can
hardly be accomplished when we con-
slider the tenacity of Roosevelt, the
declarations of Taft that he Will be in
the fight to the end if he lives and last
but not least the doubtful disposition
of Hughes to resign one Of the highest
positions in the government with a
life tenure. We predict that there will
be no compromise and that the nomi-
nee viii be either Roosevelt or Taft.

When the delegates to the demo-
cratic national convention meet TO
nominate candidates for president ard
vice president the names of several dis
tinguished gentlemen will be presented
that they may select the most avala.
BILE.
Those offering will represent all Sec
tions and while undoubtedly every one
will be classed as progressive they will
differ in their Interpretation OF pro-
gressiye policy.
The democratic party has from its
very foundation been progressive in
tho sense of that progression which adj
vances the interests of he majority Of
the people without depriviug the mi
nority of its rights under the constitu-
ton.
Jefferson was such progressive;
Monroe, Jackson and Polk were such
progres sives, and under each of them
the people prospered and the nation
developed.
Always progression VITA the demo-
cratic party, but that progression
which aoides within the lines of the
constitution, ard that ever respects and
preserves the rights of the states AHA
those of the individual citizen.
The democratic party, in Its national
Convention assembled, will select the
leader who will pursue this time
ionored practice of the party to regard
the constitution as the guide, the safe,
secure, infallible guide, and who will
iect all innovations that do not ac-
C ,rd with the letter and spirit of that
lncom parable document.
Fortunately for the party it possesses
number of such leaders, men who
have been loyal to the party in every
campaign it has fought, men who are
abreast OF the very front line of
thought of the present day, men who
will carry our pledges faithfully, plat
forms correctly, and that neither
cloak designs with silence, evade ac-
ton when decisions should be prac.
ticed nor carry water upon both shout
ders TO ultimately deceive both friends
and foes.
The coming campaign calls for sim
certify. frankness and direct speech in
the candidates.
1t is only with such characteristics
that candidate can secure success at
the polls.
To nominate any one not i'll this
class is 10 insure defeat to the party
and disaster To the organization.
There were campaigns in the past
when candidates could be all things to
all men and win the electons, but that
is true no longer in the Uriten States.
The revolt of the rank aud file of the
democratic party in 1896 was their pro-
test against what they esteemed be-
trayal of the platform Of 1892
The three years of dissension in the
republican party has been based upon
what is regarded by the Insurgents as
nonfultiIlment of the party pledges of
/ 1903.
An lntriguer, a double dealer, a
shifty, evasive, non-committal candi-
! date cannot be successful before the
people in 1912, nor eau such one Sc
cure the nomination from either of the
two great parties.
Machiauellian qualities are out Of
order in this coming campaign ami
those who exhibit them have no stand
ing before the voters.

valrpIerORY.


After career of nearly twenty-foul
years AS editor of the Statesman the
Undersigned retires With this Issue
from the active field of journalism and
probably to never take up the work
again. We must say that our retire
ment is not without regret. We haye
been here so long that the work seems
part of our very life. We have tried
to give the people of Berkeley county q
clean family newspaper. We have tried
to conduct the business Of the enter
prise with honesty and without the
faint of graft and in that we know we
have succeeded. In an editorial way
we have at ali times endeayored to de-
fend and promote right and to expose
and denounce wrong. We have never
been neutral in any contest before the
people but as we have been given to
the light we have been accustom-
ed to say what we thought without
mincing words and TO warn the peo-
pie and to arouse them to their inter-
ests and their liberties. In this course
we have made enemies but we have
also made friends and withal have
earned the esteem and respect of the
pdblic aud even many of those whom
we have had occasion to oppose.
In politics we have been consistently
democratic and have tried as best We
could 10 preach the doctrine of Thorn
as Jefferson and Andrew Jackson in
all its purity. Like many other men
we caught the spirit of progressveness
and have been faithfully contending
for that principal which we believe is
the hope and the only hope for the per-
petuity of our great government and
our liberties.
The Statesman Democrat has been
merged in and with the new enterprise,
The World Publishing Company.
We shall continue to be interested in
the success of the Statesman Democrat
and the new enterprise and while not
actively engaged in the work shall
from time to time contribute to its
column.
We wish to extend to our many
friends, who have so consistently and
faithfully stood bysus in our struggle
to make living and to keep the bust
ness going, our sincere thanks. We
leave the business with the best of
feelings toward all and with malice
towards none.
VI SIR. .. h. Cook who becomes the
principal owner of the combined en-
terprise we take pleasure in saying
that we have found in him a gentle
man OF splendid qualities and gladly
commend him to the friends and pa
irons of the Statesman Democrat
whose confidence and esteem we hope
he will enjoy even as we have in the
years gone by. The Demo
crat will Discontinued by the new en-
terprise as it has been run in the past
and besides the World which will be
conducted as democratic daily news

One regretiwe. have IN leaving the
field of newspaperdom, and which is
by no means the last, is the severance
of the pleasant, fraternal relations we
have always enjoyed with our breth-
rem OF the press throughout the state.
We have many highly esteemed
friends IN the fraternity and we regret
that we shall in the future see and
know less of them and their welfare
than in the past.
