Orators and spell binders of the Demo
cratic party from the birth of the party
down to the present day, have proclaim
ed a. government ''of the people, by the
people, and for the people Democracy
as defined by the great photographers is,

stump.
Today, we are confronted with the
question: ARE YOU WILLING TO SUBMIT
THE QUESTION OF CONSTITUTIONAL
AMENDMENT GIVING THE PEOPLE THE
RIGHT TO VOTE UPON STATEWIDE Pro
HIBITIoN?" Yes, l am in favor of sub
hitting the proposition. That is DEMO
cRACY as understand it. am Demo
crat. | am for the RULE OF THE PEoPLE
irrespective of any Corporation, Combl

McChesney In A Walk.

From all sections of the State comes
the news that McChesney is in the lead
for the nomination for Governor and is
running off Thousands are jumping
on the band wagon-better known as
the water wagon" Lots of voters al
ways reserve their opinion as to who
they shall vote for until they see the
handwriting on the wall, and then de-
clare themselves for the candidate who
appears to be sure winner-hence this
stampede to the McChesney ranks.
Dispatches appearing in the newspapers
from all sections of the State indicate
also a great falling off in the Stanley
boom, and daily his supporters are de-
serting him 10 tie up with either the
McDermott or Bosworth forces. The
McChesney leaders are really just be-
ginning to touch off the red fire and
hoop 'em up, and by August it will
only be question of how big the Nc
Chesney majority will be.
All this poppy cock of McChesney moi
being able to tend to Morrow in Nov
ember will be shown up in November al
buncome of the FIRST water. for Morrow
running on the distillers' ticket will no
have an outside Chance.

SUMTER's CASE
GETS ATTENTION
VERY GENERALLY
TO PAY OR NOT TO PAY, Is TIL
QUESTION.

Sumter county's mandamus case
brought to compel the state secretary
to pay this county it's portion of he
sac auto tag license tax, is occupying c
the front of the stage at the capital
and attracts attention throughout
the state. The Constitution this morn
ing makes the following reference to
the Sumter case:
Has Sumter county lost coming and
going, so to speak, in her suit to COM
pei Secretary of State Phil Cook to
pay her something more than 81 900 as
her share of the state road fund?
This question has been raised and
discussed considerably at the state
house. Whatever the answer may be.
the facts in the case seem to be about
as follows:
I'm Sumter county are some 45O au-
tomobiles. OF this number about 1876
registered. This is less than 80 per
cent. of the number of cars in the
county.
'The state automobile 'license tax
law stipulates that the secretary of
state shall decline to pay to a county
any money out of the fund derived
from the sale of automobile license
tags unless that county shall have reg
istered at least 80 per cent. OF its ma
chimes.
"At the same time that Sumter
brings mandamus proceedings against
the state to collect her share of the
money, she alleges that the law is un-
constitutional. The same petition, it
is said, admits that less than 80 per
cent. of the machines in Sumter coun-
ty are registered.
If less than 80 per cent of the ma
chimes are registered, the law says
No money If the law is unconstitu-
tional, it cannot, in the very nature of
things, authorize the payment of the
money.
Such, at least, is the argument
about the statehouse corridors"
