ANXIOUS TO VOTE;
CAN'T AFFORD 1T
Point Out They Can't Stand Expense
of Coming Home to Enroll and
Then to Vote.

Washington, May 9.-Letters vii!
be written soon by several South
Carolinians temporarily residing in
Washington to John Gary Evans,
Democratic State chairman of South
Carolina, asking whether some plan
may not be devised. by which they
NAV avoid the necessity Of making
two trips home for the purpose of
voting in the primary this summer.
It was stated that under the pres
ent primary rules it is necessary that
voters who expect to participate in
the election this year properly quail
ify in person before the election, then
make another trip to their homes
for the purpose of casting their bal
lots, 1t was scid here that two years
ago the same request was made OF
the State chairman but he replied
then that he could not make ruling
upon it.
It has been suggested that coming
State convention, which will meet in
Columbia on May II, might look into
this matter for the benefit of the
South Carolinians Who are for the
time being absent from home but
who expect to return there after the
election. There are probably as many
as 200 South Carolina voters in the
District of Columbia alone and some
of these would like to return home
to vote but can not, they say, stand
the expense of making two trips. II
is suggested that legal voter might
Ike affidavit to this effect before q
notary or otherwise declare himself
to be entitled to participate in the
primary, thus saving his vote at least
expense

after.

Washington, May S.-The senate
today passed without record vote
the Bankhead goed roads bill appro-
nr,af1ng, s5,ooo;oeo to aid the States
in the construction of post roads
The bill''as introduced called for an
annSon,riation Of $75.Oos;ooo, but an
amendment calling for the e1pendi-
ture Of $4,000, 900 for construction
Of roads in national forests was
adopted.

Utah to extend the credit OF the
United States to the States for con-
struction of roads by them was lost
At to 20.
The bill appropriates s5,ooo,0oo for
the year ending June 80, 1917, with
increasing appropriations until 1922
when the entire amount is to nave
been spent. The money is to be ap-
uortioned by the secretary OF agrl-
culture according to the terms OF the
bill on a basis of one-third in the
ratio of the area which the States
bear to the total area of the country
one-third in the ratio of the popula-
tion and one-third in the ratio which
the mileage of rural delivery routes
hears to the total mileage in the
country
The measure is a substitute for the
shackelford bill, which passed the
house, providing that not more than

coast of Mexico came word that the
consul there had been warned by
anonymous letters that the consulate

JUST THE VERY FINEST
EVER HEARD IN NEWBERRY

Lovers of music are having great
opportunities now of listening to some
of the sweetest and best instrumel-
tai selections ever played in this city,
as produced by the Seeburg Pipe Or
gan Orchestra installed at the opera
house last week by Manager Henry
B. Wells. Those who paid $3.50 aud
$1.25 and enjoyed about $S worth of
music, ETC., at the recent chautauqua
got taste of something good. This
may be kept up by visits to the opera
house under the guidance of Man
ager Wells, who has come back into
his own. Judging by the crowds which
gather to see the fine pictures in con-
nection with the splendid music; and
all it costs is and 10 cents. People
who go to church every Sunday morn
ing and night and are thrilled by the
delightful strains of the pipe organ
as they fill the place with concord
of sweet sounds touched by a mas
ter hand, may find the same pleasure
in the harmony prevailing. at the
opera house picture shows. They will
not only hear the peals of the pipe
organ, but also a combination Of band
and orchestra. The music is more

THE PUBLIC FORUM

SPORT SHIRTS.-Why is it that
a fellow faces a lot of kidding when
he first dons a sport shirt? I'd like
to know what there is more sensible
for man during these hot days than
a sport shirt? Doctors tell us that
with the temperature lowering
around the 80 mark the neck should
be kept cool The sport shirt has
solved that. It is also dressier than
transacting your business with your
collar off and your shirt collar tucked
in at the neck. I'd like to hear some
legitimate kicks against the sport
shirt-James Allen.

THE .HoUsEMAID QUESTION:

THE HoUSEMAID QUESTION:
What, oh what is to become of
households in need of domestic help?
It seems impossible to get girls who
will do general homework for fair
wage, a good home and considerable
treatment. Where, tell me, is the old
fashioned "hired grip who would do
general homework. The maids"
now demand So, no washing, ironing,
cleaning; Thursday and Sunday aft
eTnOOns and evenings off, etc.
A small family is always insisted
upon. There. are four adults in our
family and one boy of Z; we are
thinking of chloroforming three;
then we may get a maid.
Our last domestic would not an
swer the telephone OF the doorbe1.
They all say they are good plain
cooks; some of 'em are plain" but
cooks, never! We have had three in
quick succession and not one could
get up a breakfast of toast, soft
boiled eggs and coffee. If that is not
plain cooking, what is? One appli-
cant refused to come to our we'll
furnished, up-to-date fiat because
the girls room did not open off the
kitchen; it was so much more con-
venient that way.
We Office workers do not begin to
know what independence means. If
we acted the way the domestics do
we would be floating around looking
for work.

What are householders going to
do for help at a moderate price? A
girl who is getting Sc a week and a
good home and has absolutely no ex-
pense is certainly making more
money than an office worker who
gets $12. The domestic can save at
least SIS per week without any sacri-
flee, and the Office girl who makes
$12 cannot save a cent. - Worried

PARTY WITHOUT AN ISSUE
Never before in the history Of the
two great political parties has the
party in power passed so much vital
and important legislation as to prac-
ticaIly leave the other party without
an issue. The important issues Of
the past campaigns have been so
well cared for by the present admin
istration that it will be very diff
cult matter to convince the people
that there is any need to turn the
rascals out"
The currency question has been
cared for by the federal reserve act;
the tariff will be looked after by a
competent commission; rural credit
banks are now being established; a
federal trade commission is at work;
the income tax is also a law; child
labor has a law. A larger army and
navy bill will soon become a law and
a number of other important bills
have been passed. All of the above
legislation was so important and
necessary that the Republicans in
congress dared not oppose them.
Our present congress is to be con-
graduated for it's efficient work and
for the splendid support it gave to
a great president.-R. F. c.

TO THE VOTERS OF ALASKA

I feel it my duty as Democratic National Committeeman for Alaska to reply to a few of the untrutbful and inconsistent statements made by Judge Wickersham in his speech at Valdez on the evening of the l4th day of October, 1916.
 Judge Wickersham claimed in Se- attle, Ketchikan, Juneau and other places that he had secured the legis- lation which resulted in the govern ment constructed railroad in Alaska. Knowing this to be an untruthful statement 1 deemed it my duty to ascertain the facts regarding the Ma tional legislation which authorized the construction of a government owned railroad in Alaska. 1 therefore on August 18th, 1916, wired Secretary Lane to send me a history of the AL aska Railroad legislation in Congress- On August 18th, 1916, in response to this wire 1 received the following:
 Washington, D. C.,
 August 10th, 1916. T. J. DOnOhOe,
 Valdez, Alaska
 Representatives Flood and William Sulzer introduced bills to create Al aska Railway Commission and Senator Simmons a resolution to ascertain cost of transporting equipment from Panama in Sixty Second Congress. House bill ten four eighteen as or ginally introduced by Wickersham providing for legislative assembly did not contain provision for first Alaska Railroad Commission. Provision was inserted by Senatorial Committee. Senate Bill forty-eight was introduc- ed by Senator Chamberlain first ses- sion sixty third Congress April seventh, nineteen hundred thirteen who made speech occupying forty one pages Congressional Record, Wicker sham introduced bill in House. Sen ate Bill Chamberlain BilD was sub stituted for House Bill (Wickersham's BilD and passed the Huose as amend ed February, nineteen hundred four teen, approved by President Wilson March twelfth, nineteen hundred four teen. Railway project and bill had active and continued support of Prcsi- dent Wilson and Secretary Lane.

 Wickersham claims that this reply was compiled by some department clerk and not authorized by Secretary Lane. You will note that my tele- gram was directed to Secretary Lane. At the time this telegram reached Washington Secretary Lane was m- doubteGly engaged on the Mexican Peace Commission of which he is a

Co. Mr. JackIing is also a large stockholder and reputcd to have the controlling interest in the Pacific AL aska Navigation Co.,, which company operates what is known as the "Ad- miral Line" of boats. So much for one transportation company.
 Let us now see about the other transportation company. Al the re. cent Republican Divisional Convention of the Third Division, held at Val dez on the l7th day of July, 1916, Mr. George C. IIazcIet who is generally recognized as the Guggenhcim po.it- cal representative of the Third Dj- vision secured in that Convention the nomination of Mr. Wickersham for Delegate to Congress as a candidate of the Republican party of the Third Judicial Division. The aggregation of wealth commonly known as the Guggeuhcims own the Kcuuccott Mine, the Copper River & Noehwcs. ern Railway Co, and the Aaska Steamship Company. Does it seem possible that lh. Hazclct as the poli- tical representative of the Third Di- vision of these immense interests would secure the nomination of a man who was sincerely opposing them? Does it not appear more reasonable that the alleged antagoaism of Judge Wjy.lcrsham's to those interests Is merely blud for the purposes of get ting the vote of the minimizing pco- p',. Ny information is tba, Mr. Hazcct has been ever since thc Coa- vc7tion which nominated M. Wi,k- crsham and now is sincerely and earn c,ty working for the clecu n of Mr. Wi,kcrsham.
 Nh. Wiclc.sbam devoted a great portion of his recent speech at Valdez to stating what he had done in thr way of securing legislation wh..c in Congress and named a number of laws he had passcd but he failed to mention ore very important law which he hai passed on July lS, I9l4 which rc'ir,- ed the Copper River & Northwestern Railway with other railway companies in Alaska from paying the license tax heretofore imposed of $loooo pcr annm per mile. l foi. Go find where Mr. Wickersham Las eyer used h.s great talents to relieve the rcs.amao, keeper hotel keeper cigar store. boarding house, etc.. from this reder- al license tax, but he seems to have been moved by a great sympathy for the poor downtroddcn Guggcnhcims struggling along with their Copper River & Northwestern Railway Co., hence he secured the passage of the bill which relieved them from paying $1OOOO per annm per mile tax on their railroad.

member and Mir. Jones for the time being was Acting Secretary of the In terior.
 After Mir. Wickersham made his speech at Juneau in which he also claims that he had secured the rail road legislation and that Senator Chamberlain had introduced the bill in the Senate, that Wickersham had pre- sented to him, John w. Troy, of Ju- neau, wired Senator Chamberlain 2l- ative to the matter and received the following reply:
 "Portland, Oregon,

Pass cd Senate first. 1t is the law under which the railroad in Alaska is be ing constructed It was not introduced by me at the request of Wickersham ncr written by hin, and but for the active support of President Wilson and the administration it would not Lave passed at all.
 (signed Geo. E. Chamberlain"
 Judge Wickersham devoted con siderable portion of his speech to an attack upon myself and l am free to confess that | am at a loss to know why this was done, not that it makes the slightest difference to me, but l am certainly not an issue in this campaign as l am not a candidate for any office, either elective or ap- pointive. But he seeks through me to tie the Democratic party to tho Guggenheims, the Fish Corporation. the Transportation Companies and tc Shackleford, whom I believe is gener- ally recognized as being the leader of the Republican party of Alaska. There k no alliance, secret or other wise. between the Democratic party and the Shacklcford wing of the Re publican party of Alaska. There Is TO alliance, secret or otherwise, be. tween the Democratic party and tn, Gurcenheims, the Fish Corporations ,r the Transportation Companies anc acithcr of these companies have con tributed one cent towards defrayint the expenses of the Democratic part! ,ampagn for this year. As an indi. yidual am in no manner connected with any transportation company Oi

Our firm at this time are attorneys for the, plaintiff in personal injury case in which the Copper River X Northwestern Railway Company is defendant, the amount sued for being SlU,OUU.uO.
 Having put the statement of my position and that of the Democratic party clearly before you let us now consider Judge Wickersham's connec tion with those "malefactors Of great wealth." On June 20, 1916, Judge Wickersham wrote Bart L. Thane. of the Gastineau Mining Co.,. the following letter:
