News and Courier.
Mr.. l.. d. Jennings is justifying his
candidacy for the United States SEN

No farmer who hears Lang Jen-
nings will go away with a mistaken
idea as to why the Lew rules of the
Democratic party require the voter
to sign the club rolls in person.
There will be no dead men on the
new rolls, said Mr.. Jennings at Or
angeburg Thursday. They can't
come to sign. If they did the sec
retary would leave"
You can just bet he would
Mr.. Jennings discussion Of the gov
ernOrs pardon record at st. George
yesterday was not less illuminating.
In fact, it is already evident that
the senatorial campaign this year Is
going to be one OF genuine educa-
ton.
Perhaps after all they were wisest
who insisted that the county to cOun-
ty canvass would prove it's value If re-
tanned.
Issues cannot be degraded when a
courageous champion puts his deN"-

That campaign exhibit which is
creating much interest is the block

be placed on all the cotton platforms

Il have received today MANY tele-
grams from different newspapers in

nothing between Gen. Car. MA and
myself which in any way has altered
our military policy. / will now 60
even further and say there never will
be any differences between Gn. Car
rama and myself that will interfere
with the work of the constitutional
lists.
1T would be folly for any of the
leaders to impede or in any way
hamper the great work, now almost
within reach of our goal 1t simply
would be madnes TO wrangle about
individuals. We will fight the enemy
OF our people and his minions until
we have vanquished them. After that
has been accomplished you may rest
assured all Mexican patriots will do
their duty and shoulder to shoulder
Will work for the good of ALL"
AT the headquarters Of the division

TO CONTROL WATER TRAFFIC
Alexander of Missouri Introduces
Measure to Bring Boats Under
Government Supervision.

Washington, June 15.-As sequel
to the house merchant marine com.
mittee's extended investigation OF
shipping combinations, Representative
Alexander of Missouri will introduce
bill to bring water Transportation in
both foreign and domestic commerce
under comprehensive government SUI
pervision.
The measure would meet all recon-
mendations recently made by the
committee, except those relating to
certain supervisory powers which, Mr.
Alexander believes, the Interstate
commerce commission now possesses
under the Panama canal act. 1t
would preserve to shippers advantages
arising from permitting carriers in
any given trade to cooperate and at
the same time prevent present abuses.
The bill proposes that the inter-
state commerce commission be in
creased to eleven members and be
authorized to pass judgment on all
agreements as to rates and service
which, when approved, are to be ex-
empted from antitrust laws. It
would authorize the commission to SUI
pervise all traffic or rate associations
to which any water Interstate COM
mon carrier may be a party.
