The Piedmont

Thomas F. Mellow, a promi-
nent attorney of York, says:
II am supporting Governor
Manning for reelection:
Because he is a man of abil-
ity, purity of character and a
patriot who is devoted to the
best interests of South Caro-
lima.
because he has been strong
enough to advocate measures
in the interest of the masses
of the people against the pow
erful protest of former friends
of wealth, power and influence.
Because on all occasions
and everywhere he has con-
Quoted himself so as to reflect
credit upon the high office to
which the people of South Car
olina have elected him.
Because during his ad-
ministration there has been no
unseemly quarrel between the
Governor and the General AS
sembly and the Governor and
the Judiciary. He has received
the respect of every depart
ment Of government and has
treated the other departments
of government with that re-
spect and courtesy to which
they are entitled from the
Executive.
Because, in my opinion, he
has made one of the best gov
ernors the State has had since
1875, and on his merits and by
established custom he is en-
titled to a second term.
For these reasons I am sup
porting Governor Manning, not
withstanding the fact that per-
sonally I have the highest re-
spect and regard for Mr.. Coop
er."

d. A. GEER:

D. A. Geer, a large farmer and
merchant of Bolton, says:
Being in intimate touch with the
l firmly believe that Governor Man.
ning's strength in this section Of the
State is growing daily regardless Of
wild claims to the contrary. At no
time has his chance for reelection
been brighter. Should he not be
nominated in the first primary over
all his competitors, l am satisfied
that he will repeat his splendid vic
tory Of two years ago when he de-
feated Mr.. Richards, by an oTer-
whelming majority; in the second
primary. So far as my own county,
Anderson, is concerned, 1 believe he
will run strong second in the first
primary. The other Piedmont coun-
ties will give him surprisingly large
vote, and l am satisfied that those
persons now claiming that Governor
Manning is weak in the Piedmont
will be greatly surprised at his
strength when the vote is counted.
Why shouldn't he run strong in the
Piedmont? He has certainly proven
himself worthy.
"Governor Manning's hard but un-
ceasing fight for law and order and
his success in restoring confidence in
the forces making for civic righteous
ness in South Carolina, his earnest
advocacy of social and industrial JUS
tice, his successful efforts for better
educational facilities for the white
boys and girls of the State, the econo-
mic measures passed under his ad-
ministration for improving tho condi-
tions surrounding our rural popula-
ton, and the reorganization of the
State Hospital for the Insane, with
it's modern, improved methods Of
treatment for the unfortunate in
mates and the large saving in dol
lars and cents as result of the
economies practiced there by the new
administration, have caused me to
give my undivided support to Cover
nor Manning. I believe that the ma
jority of the people of South Caro-
lima agree with me that his progress
sive administration should be con-
tinued so that the great work that
he has so well begun for law, order,
education, and humanity shall be
carried forward by him to success

EXISTING DEFECTS
Attorney General Gregory Submits
Memorandum With Approval Of state
Department, for Consideration by
Congress - Proposed Legislation
Would Make Criminal all Activities
on eshslf Of Foreign Nations Now
Prosseutabis 40 Conspiracy.

Washington, June 3.-General revis-
ion Of American neutrality laws was
proposed in a memorandum submitted
today by Attorney General Gregory,
with the approval ofIthe state depart
ment, as a result of problems arising
out Of the war and relations with
Mexico.
Enactment Of eighteen new laws is
recommended TO correct defects IN
present statutes. to cover omissions
in law and make crimes against
American neutrality punishable under
federal laws. At present many such
acts do not violate federal criminal
law.
Almost every phase of activity in
the United States on behalf of foreign
governments which has resulted in fed
eral prosecution under the broad charge
of conspiracy, would be made criminal
by the proposed legislation.
Broaden Presidential Powers.
In addition the powers of the presi-
dent would be broadened with respect
to clearance Of suspected vessels, fur
ther employment Of the land and naval
forces to preserve neutrality. imposing
a more rigid censorship upon wireless
and cable messages to belliEerent coun-
tries and seizing arms and ammunition
about to be exported in violation of any
embargo.
The proposed legislation is as fol-
lows:
First. A law making it crime to
prevent or attempt to prevent exporta-
ton Of American goods by threats Of
violence to persons engaged in the man
ufacture or expectation ofssuch articles
or ~ rdamaae tA the articles. the in
istrumentalitiea sof their transportation

Second. A law making it crime to
set ,fire to any vessel engaged in for
eign commerce with the United States,
or to place bombs or explosives aboard
her with intent to injure or destroy the
vessel or cargo.
Third A law authorizing the gov
ernment to forbid the departure from
American ports of vessels with supplies
believed to be destined for warships or
supply ships Of belligerent nations on
the high seas.
Fourth. Under this law collectors of
customs would be given the right to
inspect foreign vessels in American
ports at any time.
A. to Passport Frauds.
Fifth. This proposal would broaden
the powers of the secretary of state in
requiring information under oath and
proof by affidavit of such facts as he
deems desirable upon applications for
passports; would make misstatements
in applications for passports punishable
as perjury and would make criminal

stroyed and that the German losses as
