We do not see the Charleston Post
but we understand that 1t carried g
news item ON Tuesday in which it
was stated that President Wilson had
asked Mr.. Lever to withdraw from
the senatorial race and retain his
position as chairman of the commit
tee on agriculture in the house. That
is the advice we gave Mr.. Lever be-
fore he entered the race for the SEN
ate and if he had listened to his real
friends he would not have been
placed in this awkward situation.
Now in order to retain that position
in the house the president will have
to get these other gentlemen out of
the race in Mr.. Levers district, or
help Mr.. Lever to win the fight ove-
some five or six opponents which he
would not have had if he had listen
ed to us. We do not know that it is
true. but we heard it on pretty good
authority on Wednesday. Gov Man-
ming seems to have made mess Of
the whole business in his efforts at
senator making

PAIGN.

If Mr.. Lever withdraws from the
senatorial race, or does not enter, and
Mr.. Tillman can not make the can
vas and Mr.. Blease will not attend
the meetings there is not much use
of the campaign as scheduled. Cali
it off.
Then these are times when we
should not do anything that will be
calculated to take the minds of our
people from the one great purpose
that should control them at this time.
the winning of the war. This is no
time for political agitation and the
stirring up of the people. We want
every citizen to work in harmony with
every other citizen for the welfare
of the State, and political debates
and harrangues by candidates for Of
fee will not contribute to that end.
And besides that the people are we'll
enough acquainted with the men who
aspire to the various offices to make
a selection without this canvas Of
the State at this time. We would be
glad to see the meetings so slimly
attended that the candidates them
selves would see the necessity Of
quitting the campaign and going
home and announcing through the
press of the State the offices they
seek and telling the people who they
are and their fitness for the job and
then let the people go quietly to the
7olls and cast their ballots and let
us all resolve to stand by the ma
jority without murmur or complaint.
That's the way we see it and We
believe that it is the right way. We
took that position as to the county
campaign but the chairman ruled
, that the rules of the party required
the appointment of the meetings. W.
hold the same view as to the State
campaigns. The people are in Nd
frame of mind at this time to be list
ening to political harrangues.
We want to see the Offices filed
by men who are competent and of
good character and loyal to the gov
ernment, but we believe that the peo-
pie can make the selection just as
well by doing away with the State
canvas.
