This newspaper earnestly and sim
cerely desired the election of Judge
Jones and did what we could to that
end, but we would rather have seen
him go down in defeat hundred
times than to have had him elected
in any such primary as the one re-
Gently held. There is no question but
that there is a lot of fraud and we
hope it will be uncovered. The
wisest thing for the State executive
committee to do is to order another
primary for governor, and let us see
that it is honestly conducted this
time. This is easy enough said, too,
but we should remember that there
is every opportunity for corruption
under our present primary system.

No doubt the increase in the vote
in Bamberg county was natural, and
we have not heard any rumors OF
fraud or illegal voting. However.
there seems little doubt but that
whiskey was used, and the good citi-
zens should be on the lookout for
this and put a stop to it next Tues
day if it is attempted. 1t is awful
that voters will be debauched by
Whiskey.

Their will be only one second race
on the State ticket, according to the

Lyon and Peoples for attorney gen.

Lyon a big majority. No man who
has filed the position in recent years
has made better record than At
torney General Lyon and he deserves
reelection.

Oh, no! the Southern Railway is
not in politics either in South Caro-
lima or Georgia. Last week Gov
ernor Brown vetoed the mileage bill
passed by the legislature and tele-
gram was sent to Vice-President An
drews of the Southern Railway no.
tifying him of the veto before it was
made public. And yet the Southern
Railway is not in politics! You news
paper men who are under obligations
to this vicious corporation had bet

you, but to one who can see, the
Southern Railway did more than any
one factor for the election of Blease.

The greatest consolation we have
over the result of the election is
that a majority of the white people
of South Carolina did not go on rec
ord as favoring present conditions.
Blease may be governor, and we can
bear that when we feel sure that he
did not receive a majority of the
votes of the white people of the
State.

A comparison of the vote for gov
ernor by counties in 1910 and 1912
makes interesting reading. When
one reads these figures and notes
the tremendous increase in the vote
of certain counties he is no longer
surprised that charges of fraud and
illegal voting are made.

Tarrytown, N. Y, Aug. 30.-The
18th hold-up on the Rockefeller es-

night when a teamster, returning

bed at the point of revolver by two
Italians. News of the hold-up was
withheld for "a hours by the sheriff
while his deputies made a vain search
for the assailants.

There is no doubt but that the re-
cent primary was the most loosely
conducted or fraudulent of any ever
held in the State. From many coun-
ties protests are coming against the
vote, and in Charleston county sew
eral persons are to be prosecuted for
impersonating others and fraudulent
voting. What are we coming to?

There is no question but that Judge
Jones was a patriot and a martyr in
the recent campaign and primary
but if the result of it all should be
that we are to have honest primaries

thrown around the use of the ballot,
he will have done untold service to
his State.

that there has been a mighty change

body did some fine work.

REPUBLICANS FOR WILSON

thousands OF Progressive Re-
publicans will vote for the Dem
ocratic Nominee for the Presiden-
cy in the opinion of Rudolph
Sprcckles of San Francisco, close
i friend of Senator LaFollette and
long prominent in the Republi.
can party of California.
II have given many years of my
time and support to the Progress
sive Republican cause and to hon
est effort to eliminate political
bosses and bring about the estab-
lishment of just and truly rep
resentative government, and shall
continue to make that fight with
in my party; but l feel it my du-
ty to support Gov. Wilson at the
coming election, believing it to
be the only proper course left op-

ested in the establishment of pro-
gressive legislation in our nation

To-day l held a conference with
DR.. Harvey w. Wiloy, who stands
out as the foremost figure in this
nation as a protector of the lives
and health of children, and he in

Newspaper men who are touring
the West with the third party can
didate are stronglyinclined to give
Woodrow Wilson the best of it
in their guess as to who will be
the next president. Throughout
the tour there have been heated
discussions as to what states will
go for the Democratic party.
While the National Democratic
ticket refuses to concede any of
the states as sure for Taft, the
only crumb of hope the newspa-
per men are holding out to the
president is in Utah, Vermont,
Rhode Island and New Hamshire.
The tour of Roosevelt, according
to the best newspaper judges who
have accompanied him through
out the West, has resulted in his
losing as much ground as he has
gained. In North Dakota, Roose-
Welt has lost ground, according to

Former Congressman William
p. Hepburn, of Iowa, is quoted i'm
the DesMoines Tribune, as fol-
lows:
Il shall not be surprised to see
the Democrats make clean
sweep in November. So far as /
am concerned, | will support no
man who will not support the
Roosevelt ticket, and I think there
are many others of the same
mind"
Col. Hepburn is correct i'm his
guess. The regular Republican
organization is sure to knife every
legislative candidate who is for
Roosevelt, and the third term par
ty will return the compliment on
the Taft men. The voters gener-
ally, as result, are turning to the
Democratic party, and it's candi-
dates, as welcome relief from
an intolerable condition.

A Glance at Federalism

~ Sl0UC0 AT u 000r8VISm
In the beginning of our govern
ment, which went into effect in
1889, the administration was in
the hands of the Federal party,
which represented the aristocra-
cy that had been transplanted to
this country, and which had con-
trolled the convention and domi-
mated the formation of a constr
tuition in which special privilege
was intrenched almost beyond the
possibility of amendment.
Naturally, such unfair advan-
tage of government fostered and
developed the most pronounced
old-world aristocratic tendencies.
This party pursued policy SOCK
travagant, so currupt and so UNI
democratic that in 1900, after be.
ing in power twelveyears, the peo-
pie rose up in their might and
elected Thomas Jefferson to the
presidency, and the discredited
Federal party, as the Republican
historian, Cooper, says, PASSED
out of power in a crowd of intri-
que and in vain grasp at the
flesh-pots."
Tho Coming Of Jeffersonian De-
mocracy.
With the advent of Jefferson
came the PRONUNCIATION of democ-
racy, the ultimate of which was,
Equal rights to all; special
privileges to none" and for which
he and his followers contended
until tariff spoliation was so re-
stricted that in. 1876 an epoch of
so-called Free Trade was ush-
cred in and its benignant sway
continued until the simeon of mad
reform swept everything into
chaos in 1861.
The story of the triumph of de-
mocracy is told in the administra-
ton of Jefferson who inagurated
a system of economy, fairness and
equality that prevailed for sixty
years. These sixty years in spite
of constitutional privilege and
Misrepresentation, grew at leng-
tn, under low tariff policy, made
possible by the wisdom and teach
of such freedom, advancement,
glory and happy conditions as
has been known to no other ma
ton in modern times.
During the flfties the long bat
tie with Hamiltonianism seemed
to be virtually won. Free Trade
proclivities were everywhere
welcomed and seemed to portend
not merely a still lower tariff,
but the abrogation Of every YES

The Golden Aoo

This period of fairness was the
golden age of our country. The
total value of its wealth increased
twelve and six-tenths per cent
every year during the low tariff,
and even this is in the hands of
the few.
In this country there are more
than sixteen million American
sovereigns invested with citizen
ship, and also charged, individu-
ally, with the responsibilities of
government. But the great ma
jority are in possession of only a
single right of equality, namely:
the right Of suffrage: and upon
the faithful exercise of this right
depends its duration.
We grant, it is much easier for
meaner, inactive manhood to
driftwith the current into corrup-
ton and be governed by the priv
ileged aristocracy, which AFRO.

which reward infidelity to man.
hood. Men do not deliberately
intend TO lose their freedom and
thus help bring ruin to society
and good government; it is only
because they find it easier to do
so than to exert themselves; be-
cause they do not need the voice
that is always calling them to
duty.
