But they are hoping and praying scr

practicable moment, and for action
looking towards the speediest success
ful ending of this war, and they are
going to vote that way nex- summer.
Several days ago there appeared in
one of the newspapers generally re-
garded as spokesman for the anti
Reform party a comparison Of the at
titudes of Congressman Dominick, o.
the Third congressional district and OF
; CONGRESSMAN Nichols, of the Fouth
! district It was urged that Congress-
man Nichols in his Union speech ha'
expressed the sentiments of Congress-
t man Dominick's district as well as OF
/ his own. Yesterday both these gen.
tlemen spoke in their respective dis
tricts. That Congressman Domlnick
has the people of the Third distr1c,
with him in mis- position in regard 10
the war, no one who attended tile
meeting at Pickens could have the
slightest doubt. The crowd gathered
there represented nearly every county
in his district, and it was gathering
of intelligent voters, who came to
hear and to decide for themselves
and to make up their own minds as
to how they are going to cast their
ballots next summer-for the cam
raign of 1918 is now really under way
They were with Mr.. Dominlck AMI
;, they showed it plainly and clearly.
No Disagreement
An ANALYSIS of the addresses delfv-
cred by Congressman Domlnlck al
Pickens and by Congressman Nichols
at Greenville shows that there is aD-
solutely no disagreement bet"ee'
them as to the duty of the people to
support the government in the prose
cution Of the war. The difference be
tween them is that Congressman Dom
mick was opposed to entering into
the war-that he wants the country
war aims stated SO that the peopie
may understand, and that he waAss
each of the warning nations to Say
what they want and what will satisfy
them and let them see if they can't
get together and stop this misersoie
massacre Of men and wailth.' The
Third district, he said, was second
to none in loyalty and patriotism, ane
had so proved in response to ever,
call which had been made, referring
to the subscriptions to Liberty bonds
Red Cross fund and other matters.
CONGRESSMAN Nichols is quoted as
saving at Greenville: ''I am going
back to Washington and tell my fe:-
low members Of congress, cabinet OF
ficers and the president; that I am
proud Of the old Iron District Oh
South Carolina, whose people are
standing by the Stars and Stripes"
Congressman Nichols could truth
fully tell the Washington authorities
the same as to the Third district. and
all the other districts of South Caro-
1ina, and just as truthfully he could
20 further and tell them that the SEN
timent of all the districts Of the state

National Issues
It is altogether probable that the
! state campaign in South Carolina neXs
summer judged from expressions OF
opinion from most. Of the%counties G:
the state, will revolve largely around
national issues. Recent political an
nouncements in this correspondence
in The Charleston American have
gone a long way towards dehnite'y
fixing the status of the campaign, and
have been the subject Of widespread
comment by the people and in the
press The Greenville Piedmont, up
nthe country where the political cam
paign received impetus yesterday, ed
