PRIMARY ELECTION BILL
Senate Discussed II at Length and
Continued II.

Continued IL
The senate devoted considerable time
Tuesday and Wednesday to the discus
sion Of Senator Nicholson's bill provid-
ing that only duly registered voters
shall be entitled to vote in the primary
election.
Senator Clifton introduced an amend
ment to the bill following the line OF
the recommendation Of Governor Blease
to the effect that the registration books
should be kept open at the court houses
for three months this summer and two
months In 1914, in addition to the one
or more days at each precinct during
each year. He thought the bill was a
good one and that 1t should pass.
Senator Strait Of Lancaster opposed
the bill, holding that 1t was prejudicial
to the rights Of the poor man.
Senator McLaurin wanted the bill
continued. He Isaid. he stands on the
question where he has stood since Till
man laid down the doctrine twenty
three years ago, that every white man
legally entitled to vote should be guar
anteed the preservation of that right,
by taking the oath that he was DEM
ocrat and would support the party
nominees. He said that the defeated
candidate who Is not man enough to
charges of fraud; but none Of the
charges made last fall were supported
by the evidence and he did not believe
there was any fraud Of any consequence
on. either side. To stir up the matter
now would only tend to fan dying en-
bers Of hate into renewed flame, and
he thought 1t we'll enough to leave the
whole matter alone until bitterness had
been further softened. White suprem-
acy Is still as paramount as In 1890, he
thought, and If division Is ever to oc-
cur let 1t be over questions Of govern
mental functions rather than miserable
petty squabbles like that which threw
the people into hostile camps last sum-
mer. He took that position, he said,
because he was allied with no faction
and sought only the best interests OF
all factions.
Senator Banks was in favor Of TAX
ing up the bill year from the heat OF
last summer, and Senator Clifton agree
that the best time Is while the matter
Is fresh. If the senators are not ready
now, he declared, they would never be
ready.
Senator Carlisle said he was in ia
vor Of throwing every reasonable safe
guard around elections; but argued for
continuance, while Senator Johnston
was for immediate action. Senator
Loey claimed to be in favor Of the OBJ
jects Of the bill but laid down the prop
osition that he believed that the quail
cations for voting were included In
free white and twenty one"
The bill went over until next session,
without any practical indication that 1t
Is any nearer being a law than 1t has
always been.

After the receipt of the message the
bill to which the governor refers, pass
ed it's third reading II to 33 and was
sent to the senate.
Unless the straight one mill levy is
agreed upon through free confidence,
or by incorporation in the general ap-
preparation bill, it is practically certain
that the governor will veto the appro-
priations for the state colleges and then
will come a fair and square show down
as to whether or not the bill can be
passed over his veto.

If the leaders, the men Of intelligence,
power and wealth, had to bear the con-
sequences of all that bloody strife in
Mexico, probably the lesson would be
worth while. But as we understand it,
there is little at stake except the ever
increasing ambition Of men who seek
to control.

pushed with unusual activity. -"
The Enquirer has reached the point
when it no longer has any heart in the
idea Of trying to persuade farmers to
reduce their cotton acreage. We are
convinced that If such attempts at per-
suasion have any result in any quarter,
such benefits as might result in the re-
duction are discounted in other quar-
ters. We do not believe that the cotton
crop has ever been materially curtailed
by any such propaganda. The main in
fiuence in reducing the cotton acreage
has been the inability Of those who
would increase to get the means. to do
so. Prudent farmers, however, will
continue to plant lots Of corn and raise
cotton only as a surplus.

We are inclined to think that If the
general assembly really does put it up
to Governor Blease to veto the appro-

matter of common school education
will speedily become the livest issue

be.
