This Years Campaign.

The Greenville News, in dis
cusSing the political campaign
this year, wonders if there will
be as mud-slinging and personal
and fractional abuse as we have
had in years past.
A point that is worth think
ing about now before the cam
paigl opens.
a men realize, when in their
rMf minds that no worthy
c.Nee can be advanced by such
methods,
Abuse of one candidate is no
proc that another candidate is
bette fitted for the office.
Rather it may be construed
that the opposing candidate is
lacking in real fitness or merit
of his own.
And then political success
achieved by such means is in
variably of short duration. The
people soon learn if they have
been deceived on imposed upon.
and they are quick to resent it.
We do not have many politi-
cal issues in this state. Mosl
of our politics is more or less
personal; that is, a choice be-
tween men.
This leads to personal discus
sions. and there have many
abuses Of it in times past. That
we have not always secured the
best results is admitted by all
This would be a good time for
the voters to be thinking about
this. now before the campaign
opens.
The Greenville paper sug-
gests that the candidate who
first starts d-slinging, shoulC
be the fIst one to be scratched
on the ticket, and this is a gooc
suggestion.
If al. the voters vii. adopt
this suggestion, and let it be
known that they intend to live
up to it, we will have a clear
campaign this year.--Andersor
Mal.

Town and Country.

In a talk before the Chamber
of Commerce some time ago,
Professor Daniel of Clemson col
lege commented upon the unfor-
tunate fact that there existed in
some communities Of the state
a spirit of antagonism and feel
ing of suspicion on one hand and
of superiority on the other be-
tween the people in the country
and those who live in the towns
and cities. Professor Daniel
well pointed ont that such
feeling of antagonism was bar
to progress and source of an
noyance to those who would like
TO witness a steady and materia!
growth in prosperity of all class
es Of citizens.
In the current issue of the
Progressive Farmer we find the
same idea expressed in an edi-
torial. which says in part:
Just why there Should be any
harmful antagonism between
farmers and business men OF
our towns and cities is hard to
see. The truth is that the av-
eTage farmer. or any group Of
farmers, is Just about as good
a man and as desirable a citi-
zen, little better, l;ttle worse,
than the average business man
or group of business men.
Equally true iSt, in nearly
every part of the south, that the
well being of q community, its
rise to prosperity or its fall to
backwardness and dry rot, is or
should be the concern of farm
er and town man alike. Back
wardness in methods, low yields
and ignorance on the farm make
the town and the man who lives
in the town poorer; ignorance
of modern business methods,
greed and lack of civic pride in
the town correspondingly have
their demoralizing effect on the
farmer and the farm"
If it be true that there exists
such a feeling it can not be
grounded in any real grievance,
it surely can have no basis ex-
cept in fancy and certainly
ought not to mar the relations
of those from the town and tn,
country whom business or soc.ai
duties bring into contact. The
interests of town and country
are too mutual and the indebt
edness Of each to the other ie
too great to permit Of room fol
aught but mutual respect and
hearty cooperation for the gen
eral welfare.
1t should be the duty of all
good citizens in both town and
country to strive for the elimin-
alton of such a spirit it if exists.
-Greenville Piedmont.

SENATE NEAR VOTE
ON SHIPPING BILL
Republicans Continue Attacks on
Measure as Useless.

Washington, Aug. 1.-THE Admins
tration shipping bill dragged again to-
day, Senator Gallinger, the minority
leader, and Senator'S Harding and Jones
continuing the Republican attack on the
measure before an almost deserted Sen
ate.
Senator Gallinger announced that the
Republicans expected to conclude their
remarks in time to permit a vote on
the bill by tomorrow or Monday. lie
asserted that the measure would not
be effective in building up merchant
marine, attacked its stockholding pro-
vision as a dangerous step toward gov
eminent ownership ana read numerous
letters from ship owners to show the
increasing cost Of operations which the
government would have to bear
A prediction that the bill would fail
utterly to induce American ship owners
TO enter the transoceanic field was
made by Senator Harding, who asserted
that it's only effect would be to attract
foreign built ships TO compete in the
American coastwise trade.

DEMOCRATS AGREE
ON JUDGE SEABURY
Continued from page l

printed will 60 through with little
opposition.
John +. McCooey, Of Kings, succeed
ed in landing the nomination for Con-
troller to his county by his insistence
that Kings was the largest county IN
the state and should have recognition.
He won his point after lot of hard
work, and Mr.. Masters will be the
BE. HIlce.
The nomination Of Mr.. McCombs was
fostered by New York and Kings coun-
tics. Sheriff Smith, again acting for
Murphy. said that the Tammany men
would support him. Thomas +. Con-
way. former Lieutenant Governor, was
also named as a candidate by the coun-
ties in the northern tier.
The delegates seemed to get a lot OF
fun out of the experience meeting to-
night. for such il was called. 1t was
a sort of farce comedy, because every
one knew that the slate had been
agreed upon before the convention met
tonight When the conference came
to close nearly all of the delegates
had left their seats for more con-
genial places around the hotels.
The conference tonight developed
the first signs of interest among the
delegates in the things they came here
for Up 70 this time picking winners
at the racetrack took up most II not
all of the delegates time. There was a
short session this morning, but 1T ad-
journed without doing anything but Sc
lect Representative John j. Fitzgerald
as chairman and then adjourn, so that
the delegates would not miss the first
race.
After Sheriff Smiths declaration had
settled all doubt as to the nomination
of Judge Seabury, the delegates began
to get tired. They did not want to
hear any more speeches, and they
stamped, jeered and laughed at the va
rious county spokesman.
Senator Wagner presented the plat
form. the most important plank OF
which is the recommendation that the
suffrage amendment TO the constitu-
ton be adopted next year, when 1t Will
be submitted to the voters Of the state.
The plank does not 60 as far rs the
suffragists desired, but il was well
coined as a step in the right direction.
The women wanted the plank 20 put
the conference explicitly on record as
favoring woman suffrage, but the plat
form makers ducked.
Representative Fitzgerald had ex-
pected to deliver his speech at the
morning session. but an attack OF
laryngitis kept him quiet.
When he began his defence of Presi-
dent Wilson and his administration
shortly before o'clock tonight, Con-
vention Hall was more than half empty
Many of the delegates, Disguised with
the turn Of events, had gone home. and
the Brooklyn Representative had bare
ly a thousand listeners to his long ad-
dress. When he mentioned the Presi-
dents name there was an outburst Of
applause.
The chairman reviewed the work Of
Congress during the present Admins
tration. He gave a lot Of facts and fig
ures and the crowd endeavored TO look
interested.

Higher Importance of administrative

two points, against three for rules and
regulations. The Commissioner wants
this reversed.
Mr.. Woods also has recommended
that mental examination be rated in
the future at 70 per cent, instead OF
the present rating of so per cent He
would cut the 90 per cent rating for
