be a candidate in the campaign OF
1918. For this position and other
State Offices, it is not improbable that
there are number OF gentlemen
throughout the State who are looking
over the field.
The tendency now seems to be TO
fight out the coming campaign upon
issues between the two factions OF
the Democratic party, which WouIf
mean that each side would line up
behind a ticket representing its ideas.
This ticket might be agreed upon d.
rectly on either side, or it might be
the result Of the expression OF pub
lie sentiment. In either event. it
would amount to invoking the pro-
cess of "elimination," which now ap-
pears to be the idea of both sides.
If straight ticket should be agreed
unon bv either faction, the process
of "elimination" would be direct; II
either side should not agree upon a
straight ticket, and the supporters OF
that faction should get together upon
ticket, there would be the same pro-
less O1 "eIlmnatlon,' but 1t would
be indirect, coming from the people.
Of course every Democrat who Is
a citizen of the State and can pay his
assessment, is entitled to enter the
race, and no faction can keep him out
of it. Some Of those who have an
nounced themselves have stated posi-
lively that they will run. irrespective
of who else may be candidates for the
Offices to which they aspire.
This is free country-or it is sup
posed to be-and anybody has the
right to run for an Office who wants
to run; but there is no doubt OF the
general disposition among the leaders
of both factions to fight the political
battle of 1918 as between the factions,
instead of dividing forces on the per-
sonalities of candidates.
That is the political situation in
South Carolina as it appears at this
time.

BRITISH CAIN OVER GERMANS
AND GERMANS drive BACK THE
FRENCH ON THE WESTERN FRONT

Further gains by the British over the
Germans northwest Of ST. Quentin and
by the Germans over the French in tho
Champagne region of France are recorded
in the latest British and French official
communications. British cavalry have
captured the villages of Villers-Faucon
and Saulcourt and are virtually astride
the st. Quentin-Cambrai road, says the
British war Office, which adds that addl-
tional terrain has been taken from the
Germans south and west of Croisilles de-
spite the strong resistance Of the Ger
mans. The German war office, however.
takes issue with the latter statement, as
sorting that the fighting near Crolsilles
was in favor Of the Germans.
The activity on the part Of the line
held by the French west and south OF
st. Quentin is mainly by artillery wings
of the opposing forces. South OF st.
Quentin, between .Essigny and Benay.
fierce artillery duel Is in progress. NO
infantry action has been fought.
In Champagne the Germans after
violent bombardment attacked the posi-
lions held by Gen. Neville's troops west
of Maisons de Champagne and succeeded
in penetrating elements of the French
first line trenches. Sanguinary losses
were inflicted on the Germans, however
during unsuccessful efforts they made to
capture the village Of Maisons de Cham
pagne, says the Paris war office.
An early spring thaw on the Russian
front from the Baltic sea to the Car
pathian mountains has rendered impos-
sible for the present any attack in force
by the Germans against the RUSSIANS
This seemingly put at naught for the
time being at least, the reported inten-
tons of the Germans to attempt to force
their way from the Riga region toward
Petrograd.

Petrograd, March 2s.-(Via London)
The factory workmen have reversed
the usual order and prevented a strike
threatened by the Bosses" who had
been deposed or had their authority
curtailed as the result of the new lib
erty and equality. In a certain NUM-
tons factory the disgruntled admins
tration seeing their old berths slipping
from their grasp decided to declare the
factory on strike. but the workmen in
spired by the appeals of the new gov
eminent for their support refused to
walk out. On the contrary they insisted
that the foremen directing the engi-
neers should begin work with them at
daybreak and put in an equal number
of hours.
Every hour is precious" declared
the spokesman of the workers 1--WE
must work to support our comrades at
the front. Every man who goes on
strike will be treated as a traitor"
A patriotic spirit appears to have
gripped the workmen quite generally
in strong contrast to their attitude to-
ward the former regime. One group
has given assurance the eight hour
