ciaD-That the Michigan Home Rule
league, recently organized in De-
troit to oppose state wide prohibi-
tion. Is trying 10 capitalize the
names Of business men prominent in
the state without their permission,
Is the charge made by the Michigan
dry campaign committee. The Home
Rule league announced list OF "a

the state. The dry leaders say they
have information that several OF
these men were not consulted re-
garding the use of their names, and
some OF them. II is declared, are op-
posed TO the aims OF the league.
Quoting from the Sault Ste. Marie
News, representative of the dry
campaign committee declared that In
the 500, four business men were
listed az yice-presidents of the
league and three OF them when in
terviewed said they knew nothing
about the organization One of the
three said he was inclined to favor
statewide prohibition. Another one

Although the Home Rule league
said it's vice-presidents were no

the Wayne county dry campaign

through the state, declares that nine

past. One is president OF a brewing

Conditions Are Differ.
ent From Those In
Rublee Case
NOT PERSONALLY
OBJECTIONABLE
Supreme Court NOmi-
nation Up For Vote,
Wednesday
From a Sror Correspondent.

WASHINGTON. May 20.--Be-
cause the senate judiciary commit
tee has decided to vote next We'd
nesday on the question Of reporting
| to the senate the nomination of
Louis ID. Brandeis for the United
States supreme court. speculation is
rife as to whether this appointee is
to be rejected as was George Rub
lee. OF New Hampshire. one OF the
members of the federal trade com
mission. Comparatively few close
students of political events in Wash.
ington believe that Brandeis will be
rejected, owing to two distinct diff
ferences between the Rublee and
Brandeis cases.
In the Rublee case, Senator Gal
linger objected to the confirmation
of the presidents nominee on the
ground that Rublee was personally
| Objectionable TO him. Senatorial
courtesy almost always has made
| possible the rejection of a nomina-
tion on this ground Senator Mar
| tine, of New Jersey, who objected
to the confirmation of a nominee In
his state on that ground. was sup
ported by Senator Gallinger. Sen
ator O'Gorman. of New York, was
supported similarly when the presi-
dent maze nomination that dis
pleased him. These senators in turn
supported Senator Gallinger in his
fight. No senator has objected to
Brandeis on the ground that he is
personally Objectionable.
The second point in the Rublee
case. which does not exist in the
Brandeis case, Is that of politics.
Under the terms OF the federal
trade commission law. the presiden,
was authorized to appoint the Ave
members. provision being made thai
not more than three should be from
one political party. The president
provoked great criticism because be
did not appoint any Republican. He
selected three straight-out Demo.
Gratis and two Progressives. one of
them being Rublee. Senator Gal
linger contended that Rublee was in
reality a Democrat, making four
members of that party. instead OF
the three authorized by law. AS
proof of his contention, he cited the
fact that Rublee advocated the cleo
tion OF the Democratic nominee for
the senate as against Gallinger dur.
ing the latter's recent successful
race for reelection.
There are comparatively few sen
ators, even among those opposed to
the nomination OF Brandeis for the
supreme court. who believe he will
fail of nomination If it reaches q
vote in the senate. They realize
that the only way he can be kept
off the bench Is TO filibuster against
his nomination. II is possible tha
when the judiciary committee, which
has been investigating the charges
against Brandeis, votes on his morn
ination next Wednesday, II will lie
eide TO report It without any rec
ommendation.
II is known that there are a
least fve Republican senators-I.a "A
Toilette. OF Wisconsin: Poindexter
of Washington; Norris. OF Nebras
ka Clapp, Of Minnesota. and Ster
ling, OF South Dakoto-who will vote
for the confirmation Of Brandeis
To reject him under such condi
tions, IL Democratic senators would
have to vote against the nomination
sent in by President Wilson.

"It is rumored here that Brother
William P. Greene of the Abbeville
Press and Banner vii be a candidate
for lieutenant-governor in 1918 on
the Cooper ticket. He'd make a
good one, but we hope he will not
have to expose himself to the Ger
mans as a qualification for the Of
flee, a la St. Andrew Bethea, al
though he is "consarned" good
fighter, both in his newspaper and in
his proper person."
The above is taken from the
esteemed Greenville News.
We shall tell our friend a
story. Several years ago a
gentleman from Abbeville
county took a trip to Texas
He raised so much more Cain
in that state than any other
man who had ever visited it
that it was decided that he was
insane, and consequently he
was committed to the insane
asylum. It happened in that
particular institution that ev-
cry afternoon the patients
were marched about tn e
grounds, being led by one OF
their number appointed for
that purpose, the others fol-
lowing in pairs. The South
Carolinian took his place in
the ranks the first day and
marched under the regular
leader, but on the following
day, when the procession was
about to start he appeared at
the head of the column, and
told the erstwhile leader that
he would head that crowd of
ID lunatics or quit the
asylum. An Abbeville man
neve plays second fiddle. -.

Many Thanks.

All of the young ladies con-
nected with the ;Abbeville tele-
phone office as we'll as the en-
ployees of the Western Union
telegraph office, deserve the
thanks Of the newspapers and
the people of the community
generally for the excellent ser
vice they gave in handling the
election returns last Tuesday
night. The returns from Ab-
beville and adjacent counties
were secured in remarkably
short time by the young ladies
at the telephone office.
This applies to little Edwin
Barksdale at the Westernap pn-
ion Telegraph office, who DE-;
livered the State returns.
The people should also thank
Mr.. Clyde Graves, who operat-
ed the lantern which flashed
the returns on the screen. The
use of the lantern was by cour7
tesy of Rev. H.. W. Pratt.
1t was splendid service all
the way through. The whole
thing was well planned and
we'll carried out. Election re-
turns were never handled
more satisfactory in Abbevllle
than they we're last Tuesday
night.

Some weeks ago we had a
letter from Mr.. Ligon, of
Townville, S. c., in which he
referred to Lebanon church in
this county and the many good
men who had helped to make
it a power for good in the COM
munity. By an eror of the
typesetter the name of James
Pursley was written James
Pressly. =:
There was another error in
the paper itself. In naming
the French Ruguenots who
settled in Abbeville county,
Mr.. Ligon mentioned the Hem

The First Primary.

The first primary in the
democratic party has come and
gone. Some of us know more
now than we thought we knew
Some of us were disappointed
at the result. We hoped for
the election of Mr.. Cooper in
the governors race, and we
confidently expected that he
would be in the second race,
and then be nominated.
But we found that the peo-
pie of. the, state are not ready
for a non-factional governor.
They still want politics with
frills and thrills, and it takes
that to satisfy them. Mr.. Coop
er could offer them nothing
satisfying along that line. He
offered much that was for the
good of the state, but who
cares for the state, when the
interest of the particular can
didate is at stakee
After it is all over, and we
look back, it seems to us un-
der all the circumstances that
Mr.. Cooper ran a good race,
even if he did not get the sup
port we had hoped for and ex-
pected. The entire press OF
the state, with the exception OF
a half dozen weeklies and one
or two dailies in the Piedmont,
was against him. Mr. Coop
er's support had to come from
the people who read these pa
pers, and when they were dis
tinctly unfriendly to him, it
seems remarkable that he ran
as well as he did.
But we always lose, anyway.
The reason is that we are al
ways for the best man; and the
best man wins only in off
years. Mr.. Cooper will come
again, we hope. The state will
need him yet, and his talents
and ability entitled him to a
place in the procession, mean
while the Republic still lives.
