Mayor Grace, OF Charleston. has
an eight column attack on Senator
Tiliman In the last issue OF Common
Sense The occasion of the assault
on the Senior Senator is his failure
to take up the fisht on Congressman
Whaley. whose election. IL is alleged
by Mayor Grace. was accomplished
through fraud. corruption and brib-
cry. Mayor Grace sought to induce
Senator Tilman To take the lead in
forcing an investigation by congress
OF the corrupt methods used in the
Democratic primary by congressional
candidates I'm the First district. Sem
ator Tillman failed to force an investi-
CATION of the dirty mess In the Char
lesion district and Mayor Grace Is
exceeding wroth. There seems to be
no doubt that the charges OF corrup-
tion In the congressional primary are
well founded. but this Is not the first
nor the second rotten primary cleo
ton that has been pulled off in South
Carolina. and IL will not be the last,
unless there Is a radical change In the
rules governing the primary. The
point would probably be made i'm the
case of Mr.. whaley that there is no
question of the legality of his cleo
ton. for he had no opposition and
received practically all the ballots
cast In tho regular election, and that
the primary was strictly party mat
ter and congress has nothing 10 do
With how the party nomination was
won. In tho present condition Of
p".4ucat affairs Ina South Carolina
this plea will probably pass muster,
and tho majority of our people are so
indifferent OF SO be-mired in political
NTH that they prefer things to re-
main as they are to making an ef-
fort to purge the primary OF it's cor
ruption. IL has been common talk
that Whaley would most certainly
have failed To win the nomination if
the money OF one of his opponents
had not given out on the day of the
primary. What is needed is not 50
much a congressional investigation
and the unseating OF whaiey, but u
reformation OF the primary system
which puts "a premium on fraud and
corruption.

that end.
