Col. r. e. Pleasant Makes
Favorable Impression in
His Speech At Columbia

Friday, Jan. 7, Col. R. G.
Pleasant, candidate for Governor,
spoke in the court house to an
audience of about one hundred.
There would have been a much
larger attendance, but owing to
weather conditions many people
were unable to attend. ..,.---
Col. Pleasant is a witty yet
forcible speaker and has made
many friends at this place.
Col. Pleasant is strictly a
local optionist, claiming as his
grounds that it would be no more
fair for the people of the north
ern part of the State to vote in
toxicants out Of the southern
part Of the state against the wish
es of those people, than it would
be to put it back in this District
against the wishes of the people
here.
MIR. Fernand Mouton, candi-
date for Lieutenant Governor, is
travelling with Col. Pleasant.
Mr.. Mouton is an excellent talk
er and is making many friends
and is gaining much popularity
throughout this section of the
country.

Neither is there in Germany any
appreciate realization of the extent
to which the British are preparing tS
go in their peace demands.
On the other hand, very few PERI
cons in England have guessed or

general that :Iermanys peace desiress

even mention, because what the al

more punishment than has yet been
inflicted by the allies before any such
peace can be forced upon Germany.
On the other hand, Germany's only
possible chance Of a peace on terms
even approaching those with which
she is now angling depends upon her
ability to hold her enemies at bay
until financial ruin forces a compro-
mise. Neither condition promises
much for an early peace.
