THE CONGRESSIONAL RACE.

Fred H. Dominick is not congress
man from the third district by our
choice. We did not help elect him.
We voted in the last election for
his opponent in the race. But that
race has been run. Mr.. Dominick
won, and he has represented this
district for eighteen months. He is
before the people again, and his
same opponent is making many
charges against him. Mr.. Dominick
spoke in Abbeville on yesterday,
and his reply to Aiken's published
speech, the latter printed in this
issue as an advertisement, was as
complete, as it was convincing, to
any unbiased mind.
We have all been talking about
patriotism, and about forgetting the
past and putting none but loyal
men in charge of the ship. If we
are in earnest in this should we not
forget fractional differences and try
to elect the best men to Office? If
we should, has Fred Dominick meas
ured up as well as, or yes, better,
than his opponent who filled the office
for fourteen years before him? We
think he has.
1t is true that Mr.. Dominick at
the time of the declaration of war
voted against it. But at that same
time the Chairman of the State Elk
ecutive Committee of the Democra-
tic party in this State, was against
war. The Greenwood Journal, All
ken's strongest supporter in this dis
trict, after the war was declared,
stated that none of us wanted war,
but we were in it and it must be
fought to a conclusion, which is
Dominick's position. Mr., Wilson
was elected President shortly before
on a peace platform. Representa-
tive Claude Kitchen, of North Caro-
lima, the chairman of the Democra-
tic WAYS and Means Committee and
Democratic floor leader voted as did
Mr.. Dominick. He has been nomi-
mated again without opposition. No.
body claims that any of these men
we're or are disloyal, ever though a
great many people honestly believed
that we should have been at war
since the sinking of the Lusitania,
and the offering of the first insult.
Why then the fight on Fred Domi-
nick on these grounds? We will tell
you. 1t is simply because of his
connection with Cole l.. Blease, and
the latter's Pomaria and Filbert
speeches. 1t should be remembered
that Fred Dominick came to New
berry as a young lawyer, and was
taken up by Cole L. Blease, then a
practitioner at the Newberry bar.
He saw Dominick was a man of
ability and made him his law part
ner. A friendship sprang up be-
tween them, and Fred Dominick
would be worse than an migrate if
he did not feel kindly to Cole L..
Blease. But he should be charged
in this campaign with his own sins
and not with those of Blease. He has
ability of his own, and judgment
of his own, and a record of his own,
and by these he should be judged.
But if we judge him by his politi-

ACTION OF BOARD MAY RESULT IN
 TRANSFERS
LOCAL EXEMPTION OPEL CIAL s RE-CLASSIFYING REGISTRANTS, AND SEV- ERAL MAY BE PUT INTO GLASS 1 AGAIN.
(From Thursdays Daily.)

The local exemption board is just now head over heels in the work of making an examination of the questionnaires of the men now listed in Classes ,, } and 4, the intention being to re-classify many of the reg istrants into Class ii it is found to be eXpedient. To date about llS cases have been opened, and of this number. subpoenas have been issued to 70 men to come in and show cause why they should not be put in Class l.
 In making these examinations of the cases of the registrants, the board Is going ahead on the belief that originally the board members had been bit too lenient in the matter of giving a man deferred classification because of the fact that he was married but had no children. It Is assumed that Tn many cases the wives of men who have been placed in classes behind No. can find some means of supporting themselves and thereby release for service their hus- bands who have nobody else depend ent upon them for support. In view of the fact that after July lst, no able-bodied man of draft age will be allowed to do work which a woman or girl could do, the board believes that a large number of positions will be thrown open to the women, and if it can be shown that a married woman without children can go to work and by her efforts support her self during the absence of her hus- band, the husband will be re-classi- fed and put into the service. At present the county is entirely stripped of Class l men, with the exception of the youths who had become of age since the registration date in 1917, and who registered on June 5th last. No orders have yet come from the department showing what dispo- sition is to be made of these regis trants. There are now 6l0 men in Classes ?, } and 4, the board hoping to secure at least 30 or 40 men for Class l from this list.

300 OSTRICHS TO
 BE KILLED FOR FOOD

PHOE\lN, June lp-lhrough Samuel J. Buckingham. food admins
 rator for Maricopa county, an order has been issued by Timothy A. Rior- Ian, federal food administrator for Arizona, permitting J. F. Cogdcll. manager of large ostrich farm near Phoenix to slaughter 800 ostriches. represented to be in excellent edible condition, the same to be dressed and placed on the market at l5 cents a pound.
 The war is responsible for this ac- ton in two ways In the first place Mir Cogdcll would never think of Slaughtering his beautiful birds, the progeny of those imported several years ago from the wilds of Africa, but for the fact that the war has put the festive ostrich plume out of busi ness.
 In the second place war IS respon- Sible for the order permitting the slaughter and sale The consump- ton of 25,000 pounds of dressed meat, which it is believed the 800 ostriches will net, will release just that amount of pork and beef for the men in the trenches, it is figured, or enough to keep a whole regiment going for several days.

CONSERVING OF FOOD
 ASSUMES NEW ANGLE
From Wednesdays Dailv.O


 While visiting Prescott on Sunday afternoon. K. s. Cookinham, engi- ncer of the Prescott Farms Co.,, at Jerome Junction, stated that all that is required for the farms settlers to have either black bass or catfish for breakfast, is 10 open an irrigating sluice gate, go into the field and pick their choice This practice he has been enjoying for the past week with other farmers, and the innova- ton is very much enjoyed.
 Cookinham said: We could have gone to Lake Watson with hook and line, but time is too precious these days and besides the distance is too far. about ten miles. It's easier be- sides, and the fish are just as good as in the big pond.'
 It is believed that the fish escaped when the gates of the dam were opened last week to provide water for irrigating and reached the main canal through the diversion dam, fin ally landing in the alfalfa tract. Mr. Cookinham states the bass are pre- ferred and they average over one pound in weight
