Political Campaigns.
Spartanburg Journal.

They are tiresome. They give no
valuable information in this State.
They are made just to catch votes. 1t
is enough to degrade the best man in
the county to travel around for sever
al months shaking hands with every
voter and manifesting a decided in
terest in him and his family. Honest,
upright men may do it, but it knocks
all the props of genuine manhood
from under them. Even the speeches
made are fiat, stale and Improbable,
unless they are mean and malicious
as they now appear to be in this
State campaign.
Really a county campaign is not an
educational affair. a candidate may
visit, every precinct in the county and
become acquainted with half the
voters and never leave a reasonable
word or a helpful suggestion in his
wake.
The state campaign, when conduct
ed like the present one, lowers the
dignity Of the State and brings it
into ridicule. 1t is shameful that it
should be so. 1t brings the primary
and subsequent campaign into dis
repute. Many of our best men will
not attend the meetings because they
consider them a stain and blot on the
honor Of the State.
The growing turmoil accompany
ing our presidential elections is also
an evil that distresses business men.
One often hears the speedier election
methods of Canada and England IA
vorably commented on by compari-
son.
1t will be recalled that the recent
election Of a parliament in Canada
was accomplished in about seven
weeks.
Our conventions place theil candi-
dates in nomination the last of June
and the first Of July, and four months
and a half intervene before the votes
are counted. 1t is a period during
which business men look carefully al
the old dollar before swapping it for
new one.

today by Acting Recorder Andrew

terry, preferred by John Bell, OF Mont

August Il last, when Bronner was
driving his automobile through Mont
clair. The machine became stalled
on Bloomfield avenue andaa crowd
soon gathered. Many suggestions as
to the cause of the trouble were made
by the ~onlookers. When the trouble
was remedied and the machine start
ed, Bell, itsis said, jumped onto the
running-board and demanded fifty
cents for his help. Bronner ordered
the nan from the machine, and on
his refusal to leave until he received
fifty cents Bronner. it is claimed,
stopped the machine and struck Bell

WIND BLOWS new
HOUSE TO PIECES
Was Only One Freak of Many
in Yesterdays Strange
Storm.

Workmen today began tearing apart
the house of John F. Wiley in Chest
nut street, Kearny, which was bdown
from its foundation by yesterday eve
ning's storm. preparatory to begin
ming the work of rebuilding it.
The house, which was a frame
structure of two and one-half stories,
and was only completed yesterday, is
today strewn over an area of about
800 square feet. Its roof lies in Ber-
lin street, 200 feet away from its
foundations, and sections of its four
sides lie here and there, where they
were cast by the wind that swept
them along.
The storm was one of the most
peculiar that has struck this section
in years. Swooping down at about
$50 o'clock, it uprooted trees and tel
egraph poles, flooded the streets and
caused great damage, but confined
its fury particularly to the town of
Kearny and parts of Roseville.
Scarcely a drop of rain fell in Harri-
son and surrounding towns, and the
streets were scarcely wet by the
clouds made the whole section like
night, however, except when binding
flashes of lightning illuminated the
gloom.
Several fires were caused by the
lightning, and several houses in Kear-
ny besides that of Mr.. Wiley were
damaged. Among these was the gro
Gerry store of Samuel Klein. at Hal
stead street and Highland avenue. in
which the plate glass windows were
smashed by the high winds. This
also happened to the windows at Jo-
seph Edelstein's store, Halstead and
Windsor streets.
The home of James D. Davidson. 20
Bennett avenue, in the Arlington sec
ton of Kearny, was struck by light
ming, but the first hat resulted was
extinguished by the torrents of rain.
In this city fires were started by
Howard. 225 Central avenue; the drug
store of Osborne & Klein, Inc, 2S9
Belleville avenue, and the home of
William Mclaughlin, SO Crane street.
The damage at all of these places was
