LlTlcAL CIRCLES.
ON A SlNGLE-PLANK PLATFORM
Former State Senator Asserts That If
he Should Enter the Race He
Would Garry the Fight Into Every
County in State.

j. w. C. Church as a candidate for
governor on the sinsie-plank platform
OF equalization of taxes" is the gossip
that is going the rounds of political
circles in Columbia today. The for.
mer state senator did not deny the ru.
NOR, but indicated that there might
be at least grain of truth in it,
Il am not now a candidate for gov
ernor,' said Senator Church, "but |
have been approached in regard to the
matter by taxpayers who want to see
platform pledges redeemed and the as
sessments of the state equalzed on
all classes of property, not alone on
land.
IF should become a candidate for
governor" continued the former sena-
tor and antagonist of the present state
system, 81 will make vigorous cam
paign and speak the truth in every
county of the state as / have spoken
it in two public addresses in my home
town. My platform would have but
one plank, equalization of taxes"
Although it was said, when Senator
Church made his first address here in
of the present state tax as
sessment system, that he had a polit-
ical bee in his bonnet, he denies that
such was the case and asserts that
he would never have thought Of such
a course if certain favored interests
had not undertaken to defame him.
Now, he says, he is prepared to carry
the fight into every county of the
state If necessary to secure the re-
forms that he advocates. He says
that he is not condemning the present
laws, but the failure of the admins
tration to complete it's program and
thus create an immunity for vast
amount of personal property that still
is unassessed.
Senator Church said that at the
proper time he would make definite
statement as to whether he would an
nounce as candidate for governor.

MARKET SLUMP CHECKED
BY SUPPORTING ORDERS
Initial 4dronces Is Points Made by Stocks Hard Pressed
in Preuious Sessions

New York. Nov l3.-Distinct i'm
provcmcnt was shown in the stock mar
kct at the opening this morning. Issues
which suffered greatest depreciation in
the trading of the last few days raj
lied . to II points.
Instead of the heavy selling pressure
that was in evidence all through yes
tcrday's trading. there was n disposi-
ton to hope that the worst had been
passed. Many who had stocks for sale
rcfraincd from offering until n little
progress had been made in the early
dealings.
The initial dealings reflected a liberal
supply Of supporting orders, which evi-
IDENTIFY had been distributed among the
most vulnerable spots.
Generally the changes in the first few
minutes consisted of advances, in some
cases of n violent character, gains cN-
tending from to II points. In the
later trading pressure was noted in
many stocks again. and some issues
Yielded to under yesterdays lowest
price.
