NGNORITY REPORT OF

Convention.

Columbia, Jan. 21-John K. Aull,
who was a member of the NeWberry
delegation in the State convention,
and a member of the committee on
rules which had before it the resolu-
ton introduced by Mr. Fred H. Domi-
nick to place the Office of warehouse
commissioner in the primary, asks
that the following statement be
printed.
"The minority report OF the rules
committee on the warehouse re00Au-
ton was very short, but the daily
newspapers, in their lengthy accounts
of the proceedings Of the State con-
Gention, have seen fit not to print it.
That course is in line with the at
tempted action of the committee in
an effort to keep down square rec
ord vote in the convention on the rea-
olution, in which the committee fail
ed, and with the action 0f the con-
vention, after being forced to a rec
ord vote, in refusing to give the
warehouse commissioer the right 10
demand that the interests which are
insidiously fighting the warehouse
system meet him face TO face before
the people, and let them decide. The
kind Of fight made in the convention
against the resolution by Mr. W. A..
Graydon Of Abbeville, Mr.. Henderson
of Aiken and others was the best
possible argument in favor Of the
resolution Why be afraid of the
verdict Of the people?
The minority report, which has
cot yet seen the light of day in the
newspapers, is as follows:
"To the State Democratic Conven-
ton:
1.-The undersigned respectfully beg
to submit minority report to the
convention from the committee on
rules, asking the adoption of the
proposed amendment to the rules Of
the party, offered by Mr.. Dominick of
NeWberry and referred to said COM
mittee, requesting that the office Of
warehouse commissioner be placed
in the primary and that candidates
for the legislature in the Democratic
party be required to include in their
pledges the support of the nominee
of the party for said Office.
"fThe minority of your committee
asks the adoption of the proposed
amendment for the following rea-
sons:
"1. That under the statute law
of the State the Office of warehouse
commissioner is required to be placed
in the primary, in that it is a State
Office.
"'2. The people of the State have
the right to voice in the selection
of one who fills an important State
Office so vitally affecting their inter
ests.
"'3. The warehouse commissioner
should be given the privilege Of hay

tenn meet him face to face before the
people.
"4. That a Democratic convention
should voice Democracy, and should
not, as did your committee on rules,
arbitrarily deny State officers and the
people whom they represent, the
privileges which inhere in Democ-
racy, your committee on rules hav-

it's members, to allow a record vote,

's1he New Freedom"

Mr.. Hughes paid his respects to the
snew freedom" at Louisville. He de-
clared that 1.-THE country il sick Of Mr..
Wilson's new freedom because while
shouting for freedom he has submitted
to government by hold-up. What has
this new freedom meant?" he asked.
1T seems to have a surprising and de-
plorable range. 1t has meant freedom
to sacrifice the principles Of the merit
system. which our opponents pledge
themselves to enforce. It has meant
freedom to embark the government in
novel enterprises In competition with
private business. as in the case of the
government shipping bill. 1t has
meant freedom to depart from the
principles of international law to con-
duct personal diplomacy to satisfy
personal vindictiveness. 1t has meant
freedom to wage war, not to protect
American rights. but to dislodge dis
liked ruler and to leave our citizens
1890
revolution. It has meant freedom to
depart from our timehonored policy Of
protecting American citizens who take
American enterprise abroad, and sub
shutting new policy which treats
them as adventures whose flag is no
, longer symbol of protection of their
just rights. 1t has meant freedom to
subvert the principles of government
by yielding it's authority to the de-
mands of force, the use of the forms of
free institutions to tyrannize over the
public, to impose demands without in
quiry as to their justice. In word,
the new freedom in action has meant
the new slavery terrorized govern
ment, government by holdup."

National Monument.

New E.nglanders especially, and the
people of the nation generally will
doubtless be much interested in the
maps, just issued by the United States
Geological Survey. Department of the
Interior, of areas in Maine known as
the Mount Desert and Bar Harbor
quadrangles, revised to show the Sieur
de Monts National Monument created
upon Secretary Lanes recommendation
by proclamation of the President on
July s. 1916. This monument includes
more than 5000 acres on Mount Desert
Island, Maine, directly south of Bar
Harbor. In fact, its northern boun-
dary lies within a mile of that famous
resort. On the east it touches the
Schoonerhead Road. On the south it
approaches within a mile of Seal Har-
Dor. 1t lies less than a mile northeast
OF Northeast Harbor. 1t is surround
ed. in short, by large summer popu-
lation.
This superb area. for many years
widely celebrated for it's historical as
sociations as well as it's commanding
beauty, includes four lakes and no less
than ten mountains. The lakes are
Jordan Pond, Eagle Lake, Bubble
Pond, and Sargent Mountain Pond.
The Bowl lies just outside the boun-
Diary line. The mountains are Green
mountain, Dry Mountain. Pickett
