NDORSE WILSON
Primaries In Thirty-one States FaV-
orable to President.

Commenting on the State primary
elections for the nomination of Dem
ocratic candidates for congress which
have now been held in 81 States
Postmaster General Burleson said re-
emily:
"The most notable feature Of all
these primaries has been the general
and unqualiled endorsement given to
President Wilson and his admins
tration by the people. Those mem
bers of congress who had opposed
the legislative programme and poll
cies advocated by the administration
have encountered hard shedding IN
seeking denomination. Some have
even been defeated. This is notice
able especially in the case of those
members who saw fit to oppose the
repeal of the tolls exemption clause
the currency revision and other pro-
gressive measures recommended by
the president and successfully enacted
into law by the majority in congress.

AGREE UPON TREATY
l., S. CONTROLS WATERS ABOUT
PANAMA CANAL.
Panama Enters Into An Agreement
With Minister Price and Gives VAL
liable Rights.

A treaty, by which the United
State gains control of the waters Of
the harbors of Colon and Ancon, to-
gether with other valuable rights
was signed at Panama Wednesday by
Wm. Jennings Price, the American
minister. and Ernesto T. Lefevre
Panama secretary of foreign rela.
tions.
The new convention has been TN:
dernegotations for four years. Early
last year negotiations were broken of
y Panama because it seemed impos-
sible to bring the two Governments
into actrd.
The instrument replaces what has
been known as the Davis agreement
of June15, 1914, in which the bound
aries Of the Canal Zore were tenta-
lively fixed with the understa1din
that future formal treaty would
fix the delimination permanently. 1t
also amplifes the Panama Canal
treaty of November Is, 1908, under
which the Canal Zone was acquired
from Panama.
Panama, by provisions of the con-
vention for the first time will be plac-
ed in direct physical connection with
the remainder of the country. Hith-
erto the Capital has been cut off by
the Canal Zone. A large tract OF
fertile land called "Las Sabanas," or
the Savannahs, was ceded to Panama.
In this territory are located many OF
the handsome country estates OF
wealthy Panamans.
The United States acquires abso-
lutte control over all the waters OF
Colon and Ancon harbors and in ad-
dition two small islands lying in An
con harbor, which are to be used for
observation and light stands by. the
coast artillery One OF, these islands
will be fortified. The site of Battery
Hancock, on the Colon water front, is
given to the United States, as also is
control Of all piers at the north en-
trance of the canal, costing approx
imately s2,500.o0o.
It is especially stipulated in the
treaty that no railway shall be built
cross the "Scbanas" without the con-
sent of the United States, and that
the United States may retake and oe-
cupy portion or all of the lands
if needed for the protection and de-
fence of the canal Or its approaches.
The treaty now will be sent to the
Washington and Panama Senates for
ratification.

CHARLESTON REVIEW CONSIDERS
MANNING SAFE
Tells where he STANDS
Prominent Organ Of Labor Interests
Quotes With Approval Letter Re
ceived form the Candidate Show
ing the Principles for Which They
Both Work:

With regard to the candidacy of
Richard I. Manning of Sumter the
Charleston Review, a labor organ,
says:
''The announcement that Richard
I. Manning will be in the second pri-
mary in the race for governor is re-
ceived with satisfaction in Charleston
especially SO with organized labor
and its friehds.
During the campaign every candi-
date made declaration which were
calculated to assure working men
that their interests were safe in the
hands of the candidate in question.
We observe that while Mr.. Manning
did not make any extravagant prom
ises he really was the most definite
and exact in his statements in refer
ence to the principles for which Or
ganized labor stands. Mr.. Manning
did not undertake to cover the needs
of labor with a blanket statement,
but has gone into detail and has stat
ed specifically what his views are on
the most important questions which
affect labor and therefore can justly
claim support on that score. The re-
putation of Mr. Manning of course
stands out and stamps him as man
who can be considered safe; his re-
cord does not show that he would
use his platform only to secure votes,
and his platform is definite in refer
ence to labor. His declarations as to
fairness in considerating the rights
of both sides Of a labor controversy
are particularly appealing, for it has
been repeatedly contended that what
organized labor wants most of all is
a square deal; that we are always
willing to rest our issues on merits
and justice and now we have an op-
portunity to support candidate for
governor who assures us not only of
this much, but who has gone farther
and indicated what he fayors, and
whose character and record are such
as to make us feel safe he will deliver
the goods. All things considered we
feel fully justified in urging organiz-
ed labor and it's friends to vote for
Richard l. Manning for governor"
C. L. Wilson president. Of the Cen
tral labor union of Charleston. has
had some correspondence with candi-
dates for governor and states that
his purpose for so doing was mainly
to inform himself as to how they
stood toward organized labor. Mr..
Wilson was so much impressed with
the answer he received for Richard
I. Manning and believes that the con-
tents OF the correspondence will be
interesting to the working people in
general that he gave the letters out
for publication.

board Of affairs today by o. S. Me
Kinney and others. After goins
over tho plans the board entered an
order accepting the terms as propos-
ed by the property owners.
The grading and paving Of Spring

ready been ordered by the board but
the plan as adopted today will ex-
tnd the street Improvement beyond
Ncstor avcnue.taking in all OF
Elizabeth street aud Burke avenue,
which are practically extensions Of
Spring street.
MIR. Mckinney has just acquired
property on Elizabeth street and he
made the proposition TO the board
II the city would grade the balance
of Spring street that he would build
n permanent road extending from the
pavement as alradey ordered by tho
city to byond his property line. He
Will also give right of way
through hts property to extend

The only objection to the plan as
submitted is the afct that in grad
ing Spring street that a fill will
have to be made ana as some of the
houses on the lower side of tile street
are already under the level, IL will
be necessary to rails these houses.
TIL parties interested assured the
board that no trouble would be had
with these property owners and that
they would be willing to do what
ever is right.
