Spartanburg, April 8: The plat
form on which DR.. John G. Clinkscales.
professor Of mathematics Of Wofford
college, will run for governor this
summer, was published by him Satur-
day. Compulsory education and the
strict enforcement Of the laws are his
two planks on which he lays most
stress. He advocates measures which
will lead to the development Of the
natural resources of South Carolina
and deplores the bitterness and preju-
dice which have divided the Demo-
Gratis of the state into two factions.
He promises to avoid personalities in
his campaign and declares he would
not enter the race If he thought it
would be necessary to engage in mud
singing. Doctor Clinkscales expresses
the hope that his opponents will be his
friends at the close Of the campaign.

1t is real funny now to observe how
many little office holders in this section

We do not lake any stock in the ar
gument that enlisted men in the navy
have as much right to their wines and
liquors as the officers. That is not the
way the proposition strikes us. OF
course. if it is a question Of right, the
enlisted men should have just as much
right as the officer But in our view
neither the enlisted man or the officer
has any business with liquor on ship
board to say nothing of other places.

Senator Gore of Oklahoma, is writing
the members Of the Baltimore conven-
ton to learn whether or not they real
ly stand behind the plank Of the plat
form that declares for exemption of
American ships from Panama canal
tolls. Quite a number of delegates have
answered Senator Gore and most of
them are backing up the president in
his position. 1t is evidently a fact that
but few of the delegates to the Balti-
more convention knew even that the
tolls exemption plank was in the plat
form.

Richmond owes Baltimore. 1t was
claimed by Mr.. Glass that Richmond
with population of only $4,000 has
double the amount of loans in the
south, of New Orleans with 100000
population. The probability seems to
be that the wrangle is going to be
protracted almost indefinitely.

Tolls Hearing Opened Yesterday.

OILS T1edTln9 SpCHc1 tCSeS' eoJ.
Formal consideration of the admins
tration bill to repeal the tolls eXemp-
ton provision of the Panama canal
act began yesterday on the senate side
of the capitol with hearings before the
nter-oceanic canals committee to
continue fifteen days. Senators who
have introduced various substitute
measures dealing with the question
will be heard first, and they will be
followed by representatives of COM
mercial organizations of the Pacific
coast and gulf states.
While the committee preparations
were under way Wednesday, prelimi
nary debate on the tolls occupied the
greater part of the session in the SEN
ate, where Senator Works of Califor-
MIA, held the floor for hours, conclud-
ing his analysis of the treaties involv-
ed, and his argument opposing the re-
peal. Asserting that the United States
had the right under the treaty to pre-
scribe such tolls as it sees fit for its
own vessels. Senator Works vigorous
ly criticized the position taken by the
president
Il think" he said. that the presi-
dent deserves to be commiSerated for
having taken on himself this terrible
responsibility. If we are to make this
sacrifice and surrender our rights and
our sovereignty over the canal the
president alone will be responsible.
without his insistence and influence
this repeal would never have been
passed by either house Of congress-

duced tolls bills or resolutions, will
appear before the canals committee
during the next day or two. The COM
mittee also has under consideration a
proposal to call former Secretary OF
State Knox and other officials familiar
with the canal situation.
kilograms were sent today TO a
number of organizations and individ-
uals, chiefly on the Pacific coast, who
have asked an opportunity to be
heard. asking them to fix time to
appear.

that it has secured the moral and

such men as DIR. S. A. Askew, Rev.

Peoria. Peoria is city of vast

all of the County officers with

this as much Peoria paper as
Springfield or Decatur and ere
