THE POLITICAL SITUATION
Political Situation of 1918 Begins to
!, Crystalize-Primary May Have
to be Abandoned.

Columbia, Nov. 12.-The positive
announcement of Governor Manning
that he will not be candidate for
the United States senate two years
hence; the continued silence of SEN
ator Tillman as to his intentions in
the matter, in the face of consider
able newspaper speculation as to his
course; the positive announcement Of
Col. w. j. Talbert, of Parksville, for
Senator Tillman's seat; the abuse of
Former Governor Blcase by one of
the speakers at the Wilson celebra-
ton here on Friday night, and vari-
Gus announcements for governor
which have been given to the press,
have already begun to shape up the
political situation as it may develop
in the campaign Of 1918, although
the general election of 1916 has not
yet been declared.
To state the situation concisely, the
woods are already full of candidates
playing for position and cndeavoring
TO build up their political fences for
campaign which is yet two years
Off.
Governor Manning's announcement,
which was a positive, frank state
wcnt. came Just after the general
election. There had been consider
able newspaper speculation in regard
to the matter, but he did not care to
give out any statement until after
the real election which has given him
a second term for governor. In his
statement he said that he felt his
official dUties required his undivided
attention and that his desire was to
consecratc his best services to the
governors Office.
The silence of Senator Tilman is
regarded as significant, and the gen
cral impression seems to be that
either he or John Gary Evans, of
Spartanburg, will be in the race-or
possibly both
The positive announcement of Col.
w. j. Talbert came while he was in
Columbia in attendance upon the con-
vention Of the Reform party, over
which he presided, during 'Nir week.
Hon. A. Frank Lever, congressman
from the Seventh district, who is
chairman Of the agricultural COM
mittee of the national house of rep
resentatives, is also beng prominent
~ spoken of as a candidate.
There is another phase Of the sit
uation which must be taken into con-
sidcration. Former Governor Blcase
has announced that he is not now, nor
does he now expect to be, candidate
Tor any office. However, he is the
recognized leader of the reform fac

All these matters will work them
selves out gradually, and in the work
ing may affect the candidates. of a
good many aspirants for office.
The fact stands out clearly, in all
this political upheaval, that the Re-
form Democrats of South Carolina,
led by Governor Blease, have stood
true to the Democratic faith, even in
the face of what they regarded as a
fraudulent election, and, notwith-
standing such unfortunate remarks
as were made by Mr.. Jennings at
the Wilson celebration here, they are
men who are as true to their oaths
as any men-and their leaders /do not
disregard the proprieties of an occa-
sion where advantage can be taken
OF their opponents, without the OPP
portunity Of reply.

tlon of the Democratic party in this
state and certain tactics such as were
lndulged in by Mr.. l.. d. Jennings,
of Sumter, at the Wilson celebration

on the stump again two years from
now. Mr.. Blcasc was out of the city

Mr.. Jennings, who, along with Mr..
w. p. Pollock, made the race for the
United States senate in 1914 for the
aVowed purpose Of aiding IN the cleo
ton of Senator Smith over Governor
Blcase, took advantage of the occa-
SION to make an attack upon Mr..
Bleasc, which was particularly bit
ter and vitrolic. He charged that MIR.
l5lcase had stated that the primary
oath was not binding, and rejoiccd
in the defeat of Mr.. Blcasc, and
prophcsicd that he would never again
be a factor in the politics of South
carolina. AS a matter of fact, Mr..
Biease has never made the statement
with which Mr.. Jennings charged
nm, but on the contrary, his address
as published in The Charleston Amer
lcan, was in flat contradiction of Mr..
Jennings speech In simple Justice
70 those who were in charge of the
celebration, it should be stated. how
ever, that Mr.. jennings was the only
speaker who departed from the rec

He was convicted, with recommcn-
datlon to mercy. A motion for ar

given out no positive statement. He
feels that it is a little too early to
make any definite announcement.
| Col. Charles Carroll Sims, of Barn
well, is also regarded as a possible
entry, though he has made no state
| mcnt, and State Warehouse Commits
sioncr John l.. McLaurin is being
prominently spoken of as a candidate.

For Congress.
Assistant Attorney General Sapp
will be a candidate for congress from
the Fifth district, which is composed
OF the counties of Cherokee, Chester,
York, Fairfield, Kcrshaw, Chester
held and Lancaster. Mr.. w. +. Ste
venson, of Cheraw, who ran Con-
gressman Finley a close race the past
summer, IS an announced candidate,
and Mr.. W.. r. Bradford, of York,
member of the house Of represen-
tatives is seriously considering max
ing the race.
The result of the vote in this
state will be canvassed by the elcc-
tlon commissioners of the various
counties on next Tuesday. The state
board Of canvasscrs will meet dur-
ing next week, upon the call of the
secretary of state, the law providing
that meeting shall be appointed by
him, to be held in his office, or some
convenient place, within ten days af-
ter the general election. The state
board has the power to adjourn from
day to day for term not exceeding
fifteen days.
The returns will show that there
was no Dolt" from the Democratic
ticket. as the anti-Blease press tried
to make appear there would be, but
there seems to be no doubt of the dis
satisfaction with the primary as now
conducted being prevalent throughout
the state, and there may be a COM
pete political regeneration in this
state two years from now.
The situation as it seems to be de-
veioping forcshadows one of two
things:
lst: Either that the Reform and
anti Reform factions will make an
eHort TO agree each upon a straight
ticket within the primary, by conven-
'iHi' VI III oolilc OIncr manner; or,
Zn1: That the primary as now cs-
tab!Ishcd may be very materially
changed, in the interest of fairness
and justice, so that partisan machin
cry can not control the will of the
people.
m Tired of Machine Methods.
There are some loyal Democrats in
south Carolina who say they will
never participate in another primary,
so long, as the. present methods are
pursued, though they would be the
last to appeal to the negro vote.

ARMTSTTCE PROPOSAL
OF PEACE CONFERENCE
Advocates Meet in Berne-Ger-
man Statesmen at Lucerne in
Touch With Situation
BERNE. Switzerland. Feb. II.


The first definite move to end the world
war was made here today when tn" per-
manent committee to establish lasting
peace met to formulate proposals for
an armistiCe.
Peace advocates from several neutral
countries were in Berne for the meet
ing.
Prince Won Bueow. former German
Chancellor; Prince Hohenlohc and Baron
Won Kraft have arrived at Lucernc. 1t
was reported today they are in touch
with the peace movement here.
The committee hopes to obtain the con-
sent of the belligcrcnts to an nrmIsticc
of at least two weeks before the spring
campaign brings fresh slaughter in
Europe. They believe ii the guns can
be sllenced for two weeks the fighting
will never be renewed
Several peace leaders said they were
encouraged by the German ChancelIor's
recent ReichstaG speech to believe that
Germany will give benevolent consdera-
ton to any plans for an armistice. If
they fail in their plans for a truce they
hope at least to suggest n program to
the belligerents designed to eliminate
some of the more horrible features of
the war.

who know MIR. Griffith say that he never
