call, nor a ballot taken. The delegates
asked no such formality either in
placing their candidates in nomina-
ton or in voting for them. There
was not voice Of opposition either to
Colonel Roosevelt or Governor john
son. The delay in nominating them
was due to the large number Of sec
onding speeches allowed. AS has al
ways been the case in national politi-
cal conventions, the bulk of the work
of the Progressive gathering was car
ried on in the committees. The only
semblance of a conflict Of opinion on
the floor was a brief debate today as
to whether or not an hours recess
should be taken. The point was not
material. but, as one delegate ex-
pressed it 1--WE just had to fight about
something to make 1t a regular con-
vention.' There was a sharp dis
cussion, however, in several Of the
committee meetings and no little diff
ficulty in agreeing upon the platform
as finally adopted. Colonel Roosevelt
worked with the subcommittee in
charge of the platform until late this
afternoon. going over their work Of
two previous days and nights, and
vigorously helping to mould the draft
which at last proved acceptable to
him. The platform did not take up
the negro question.

The COUNTY CAMPAIGN.

The county campaign opened at
Burris's pasture near McConnellsville
last Tuesday with practically all OF
the candidates on hand and about 150
or 200 people in attendance.
There were several speeches by
legislative candidates and others; but
no demand for any declarations as be-
tween Blease and Jones, 1t being the
common impression that this would
come up at Tirzah today.
The only issue Of Importance that
developed was between Messrs. Beam
guard and McDow, candidates for the
senate, Mr.. Beamguard explaining that
he had voted for the cotton warehouse
bill and why and Mr.. McDow explain
ing that he had voted against the bill
and why.
There was no meeting Wednesday,
on account of the state campaign, and
very little satisfaction at Ogden yes
terday because of the heavy rains
which held the crowd down to about
half the candidates, and thirty or for
ty voters. The Ogden people. how
ever, had made full preparation to
treat the crowd properly and there
was plenty Of good things to eat.
Today's meeting Is being held at
Tirzah; but it has not been practical
BILE to get any information as to de-
velopments.

eraee's Statement Nailed.-The state

GraCc'S StatcnonS INdiioos-ih hC StotC-
ment published in the daily newspa-
pers yesterday to the effect that Sen
ator Clifton of Sumter, corroborated
the story told by John P. Grace con-
cerning the bridge incident, is denied
by Senator Clifton in the following au-
thorized statement:
Referring to the Blease bridge in
cident,' mentioned by Mayor Grace In
his Greenville speech-I have never
heard Of the matter except by rumor,
and know Of no corroboration Of the
same, nor have 1 stated that I knew
of such confederation, nor have l sent,
or authorized the sending, Of any tele-
gram or other communication to May
or Grace, or anyone else in reference
to the same"
Somebody Is endeavoring to deceive
the public by making all kinds OF
mean and dirty statements. 1t does
look to u.s. If Blease's opponents can
not fight him with the truth, they
should give up the job. The man is
being charged with all manner OF
crimes and misdemeanors. and up to
the present no proof to establish these
charges has been forthcoming. 1t is
high time to either stop making those
charges or prove those made. We
cannot believe Judge Jones endorses
the methods employed by those who
are conducting his campaign. He Is
gentleman and could not stoop to the
low and contemplate things that are
being done to create a foul suspicion
in the public mind. Grace got up be-
fore a Greenville audience and read a
telegram, stating it was from Senator
Clifton corroborating his story of the
bridge incident which shocked the de-
cency Of the state. Now comes Sena-
tor Clifton and positively disputes
Grace. What are the people to do
when men in high position go about
with such fragrant attempts to deceive
them ?-Manning Times.

"Prayer in PoIitics."-Those Sout

"Prayer in Politics."-Those South
Carolinans who have appointed day
of prayer for the election Of true
pure, clean men" to office in thai
state, were guilty of an error OF
omission. They should have specified
the men whom they would present
collectively or individually as true and
pure and clean. AS framed theil
prayer Is too much a prayer for gener-
alities, though. it Is supposed to be
directed against the reelection OF
Governor Blease. When a prayer Is
offered up, it should be one Of direct
ness, leaving nothing to be under
stood. Last summer a considerable
discussion was engaged in by the news
papers of this state as to the propri.
ETY. of praying for rain. Those who
such petitions an object Of prayer, had
much better ground for their conten-
tion than have these South Carolina
people who would institute political
prayer day. The propriety of such
proceeding is, in our opinion, a
doubtful one. We question If the AL
mighty will see proper to interfere In
a condition for which the people. OF
South Carolina themselves are solely
to blame. 1t looks too much like an
effort to throw a responsibility upon
the Lord which Is one that properly
belongs upon the shoulders of the
people of that state. 1t Is too much
I'm the nature of a guilty cry and as
such may not be expected to arouse
any very great degree Of public SYM
pathy-Charlotte Observer.

With Governor Blease and Judge
Jones agreed upon the practicability OF
the state warehouse system, and both
promising to do all they can to secure
the perfection of a practicable bill In
the event Of their election, it looks like
a full realization of the great idea
ought not to be long postponed.

THE YORK COUNTY MEETING.

There were easily between two
thousand and twenty five hundred peo-
pie at the York county campaign meet
ing in Yorkville last Wednesday. Some
estimate the crowd at a great deal
more but very few estimate it at less.
The people were here from all parts of
counties, including the line bordering
in North Carolina. They represented

II you want to vote in the primary,
get your name on the club rolls and
do 1t now.
Mr.. j. /. Stacy of Glover, said We'd
nesday that 1t might be worth the
while of the people Of the storm strick-
en- district whose crops were wiped out
by the hailstorm last Saturday to sow
peas. 1t is rather late but still a pea
crop will yield some proyender worth
while provided Of course 1t Is possible
to get the peas to sow.
Sheriff J. D. q. Mclean, Of CASTOR,
was among the two thousand or more
visitors to Yorkville last Wednesday.
He came down to shake hands with
some of his many friends over on this
side Of the line and incidentally to get
close view Of the wonderful campaign
now going on in South Carolina. He
enjoyed the day wonderfully, and no
wonder. because he has enough friends
in York to elect him to almost any
thing he might want over on this side.
Sheriff Mclean Is being opposed for re-
election by a Republican,; but his York
friends have no occasion for especial
concern over the situation. He Is 30
strong in CASTOR now that 1t would be
difficult to find even a Democrat who
can beat him.
Tho predominatins sentiment Of a
campaign crowd as indicated by hand
primary Is one that vexes the average
newspaper correspondent not little.
All the daily newspaper correspondents
who are travelling with the state cam
paign party for instance, are avowedly
ti-Blease men in their personal
sympathy. They try to give the gov
ernor a fair show, and they no doubt
think they do; but one Of the bugbears
with which they have to contend Is the
sentiment as indicated by the govern
or's hand primaries. The correspon-
dents Of the State and News and Cour-
ier, were inclined to think that the
majority was with Jones at Lancaster
for instance. and the Columbia Record
correspondent thought majority Of
those voting were for Blease; but he
was not sure that this indicated that 1t
was necessarily Blease crowd. There
is no way to get men to agree upon
such a proposition. There are those
who say that the Yorkville crowd was
IS per cent for Blease and others who
claim that Blease did not have a third
Of It, 1t will take a count Of ballots on
August 81 to establish the real facts
beyond further dispute.

There was big Blease demonstra-
tion in Rock Hill last Tuesday night
Upon the arrival Of the governor from
Lancaster, he was met at the depot by
the Carhartt brass band and a big
crowd of enthusiastic supporters who
escorted him to the "Airdome." where
he spoke to a crowd that Is estimated
at 1000 including many ladies'. He de-
voted his remarks mainly to an eXpla-
nation of his conduct as governor and
his opposition to corporate and capital
istic domination Of the government. He
was applauded repeatedly during his
speech and at Its conclusion, admiring
friends presented him with handsome
gold headed cane in behalf Of them
selves and many beautiful flowers in
behalf Of the ladies. The town was hot
for the governor before he came and
Ne left it a boiling.

cemetery this morning after funeral
services in Trinity church. She was In
the 54th year Of her age.
With all that two thousand or
twenty five hundred people in York
willie last Wednesday, there were only
four policemen on duty, and they did
not make a single arrest. The only
time they had occasion to exercise any
authority at all was in the nature Of
a request to people not to climb on a
fence behind the speakers stand and
not to get on the stand itself. There
was no evidence Of whisky in the
crowd.

]. r. Earle, the first speaker, an
nounced his candidacy and set forth
his claim for the same consideration
that would be given to the other cam
didates He referred to his record in
the general assembly where he did his
duty as he saw it. He said he believed
in rotation in office and claimed that
other folks should have a show. He
said that difference of opinion Is what
makes progress. He said that although
he did not believe the sale Of intoxi-
cants was right under any considera-
ton; he wanted to start the dispensary
investigation and he voted also to put a
stop to it. He voted to stop 1t for the
reason that he did not approve the way
1t had been carried on. The thing had
become nauseating and he thought he
had had enough of it. He said that the
first investigating committee had spent
over $4,000 and that the Hon. Leroy
Youmans, the then attorney general,
said that it's report did not contain suf-
ficient evidence to warrant an indict-
ment. The subsequent investigations
had amounted to no more and he
Yorkville enquirer. [volume] (Yorkville, S.C.) 1855-2006, 1912-08-09

wanted our own people 10 DO all we
can; but he hoped that congress would
soon take up the question Of extending
Federal aid to roads. He thought
there was nothing to prevent this, es-
pecially in connection with the estab-
lishment and improvement Of rural
free delivery routes. He took up the
state warehouse question. Cotton could
not be left loose about the farms with
out loss and depreciation; but cotton
in a warehouse was the best security
in the world. Therefore we should
have some system Of warehousing. II
we cannot have a private system Of
warehouses we must have state sys-
tenn. The decision of the supreme court
on the warehouse bill passed at the
last session of the general assembly
contained germ Of hope that we can
have a state system. The principal
point upon which the bill was declared
unconstitutional was that the question
of issuing the bonds provided for had
not been submitted to the people, The
court, however, held that the estab-
lishment Of warehouses and the con-
duct Of a warehouse business was
within the police power Of the state.
He next discussed and explained the
advantages Of the Torrens land title
system, and also advocated the idea Of
requiring insurance companies to IN
vest a just proportion of their reserve
funds in South Carolina. If the COM
panies were required to do this 1t
would make cheaper money. He said
he was in favor of establishing by stat
ute the principle of employers liability.
It Is impracticable now because Of the
fellow servant doctrine which has been
the recognized common law of the
state since 1927. He said the fellow
servant doctrine was all right original
ly but it Is too harsh now and he wants
to wipe that doctrine out. He would
have it so that the man who sustains an
injury should receive prompt and sub
stantial help. My time Is nearly up
and want to discuss one more point.
There Is nothing more important to
South Carolina than good government.
We must re- -enthrone law apd order and
return to that day when all stood to-
gether for good government. He said
that he wanted to raise this campaign
on higher plane. He denied that he
was responsible for the personalities
that had come into the campaign; but
claimed that personalities had been
