THE PEOPLE SHOULD KNOW WHAT THE MEN
WHO SEEK PUBLIC OFFICE STAND FOR

From Sunday Star, July 25, 1920;
The election in Delaware this year is of more than
ordinary Importance.
We interested, of course in the National plat
FORMS it is high time to remember that Delaware has

ernor Treasurer, Auditor Insurance Commissioner, and
members of the General Assembly
OF serious importance too, is the fact that the next
Governor appoints the judges of courts to for
twelve years.
Platforms and are the subject of daily sconver-
sation yet the publicity which necessary inform the
people on both issues and is strangely wanting.
In four weeks the Republicans hold their primaries
for delegates the convention that will their
ticket The Democratic primaries will follow but little
later.
Isn't it about time that the questions at issue
discussed in public press?
Take the Office of Governor What does Delaware
need? What the possibilities of the four years?
What type of man does Delaware want to represent
and speak for her?
What the qualifications necessary?
Who is the man?
If it is conceded that the Governship goes down State

low precedent when it suits Them who will be presented
Names galore have been mentioned in rumor, but lit
tie has been heard of their fitness and ability for the
Office.
Of all the names mentioned only two apparently
those of avowed and admitted candidates. Col VIM D

Lynch of Sussex for the Democrats

Wilmington is interested. If rural Delaware has the
man. then for that We recognize the down
State claim, but Wilmington is vitality concerned. This
city has much at stake 1t has desire dominate,
but it should be acquainted with the down-State attitude
The Star wants administration which will recog-
nize, in the spirit of true fairness THE NEEDS OF THE
WHOLE STATE and which will not be limited by a sec
tional view.
What about the men who candidates?
What is their training and experience?

Do they sympathize with our real problems?
Are they acquainted with foreign-born citizens?
Are they home at ease in all parts of the State
and with all kinds of people?
Who their associates in public life?
Who is responsible for their candidacy and why?
In short, they men who can and will listen with

VICTOR BERGER.

The congress of the United States
is not so bad as it has frequently been
painted. AS long as men of the stripe
of Victor Berger are denied seats IN
congress by vote of 22S to 6, there
is little fear of soviet tQfluences hav'
ing effect on our national legislators
Berger has been twice denied a seat
in congress. He will probably be
again elected to succeed himself, and
he will again be denied his seat. 1t
seems that there is something but
beer that makes Milwaukee famous
Infamous, rather. A resolution has
been introduced in congress forbid
ding Berger from ever being eligi-
BILE to a place in congress. Better
still, would be to put him where he
belongs and keeps him there. In
that case he would be unable to 90
to Washington.

WOMAN SUFFRAGE.

One of the questions-one Of the
leading questions-that will confront
the present session of the legislature
is that of ratifying the woman suf-
frage amendment to the national con-
stitution. South Carolina occupies a
unique place in the union of States.
She has way of failing to follow
suit where principle is involved. That
is one of the, many things that makes
this a great State. AS far back as
the thirties South Carolina took is
sue with the rest of the union and
nuIlif1ed a national law as far as
South Carolina was concerned. It
is not very likely that South Carolina
will nullify the woman suffrage law,
but it is entirely probable that she
will never ratify it. The rest of the
country seems to have been carried
of it's feet by the surge of the equal
suffrage wave. Our prediction is that
the South Carolina legislature will
stand pat and that the amendment
will not be ratified, though it is our
belief that the amendment will be rat
flied by large majority of the States
more than enough to put the
amendment in the constitution.
The South has many reasons pecul-
lar to itself for not wanting woman
suffrage. The South has no objec-
ton to the people of the North or
the West giving the ballot to the
women. It, therefore, stands on the
same principle it has for century or
more-that of regulation by individ-
ual States of such matters as suf-
frage. If the people Of Massachu-
setts want woman suffrage, let them
have it, by all means. If the people
of South Carolina or Alabama do not
want it, the matter should not be
forced on them.
The women of South Carolina do
The Bamberg herald. [volume] (Bamberg, S.C.) 1891-1972, 1920-01-15

not want the ballot. 1t is pure rub
bish to say that they do. A handful
of old maids, few other women who
have nothing else to do, and a very
few very excellent women would
probably like to vote. Maybe there
are ten per cent. of South Carolina
women who would vote if they had
the opportunity and a serious effort
were made to induce them to do so.
Fully ninety per cent. have not the
slightest intention of ever putting
their foot at the ballot box.
This is dangerous thing, enfran-
chising some hundred and fifty thou
sand white people who will not use
the ballot do not want the
ballot. We have seen the serious
danger in the past of white men fail
ing to vote in the general elections.
If the white men cannot be INDUCED
to vote-as much as men love pol
itics, how on earth shall we induce
the white women, who have little in
terest in political matters and actual
ly detest political squabbles, to go to
the polls?
We trust to the legislature to live
I'D to the South Carolina code of
principles.

1T is with great deal of gratitude
that have seen by the incoming re-
turns the extent OF the victory and have
realized its source. While I rejoice in
its great proportions. rejoice even
more in the nature OF the support we
have received. 1t means the end of a
period which has seemed to substitute
words for things. and the beginning of
a period Of real patriotism and true ma
tional honor. 1t means a return to the
Constitution. an end OF extravaganza
and a Government by the people at
home. Abroad II means the end Of all
ambiguous and visionary schemes. and
a beginning of recognition Of the real
and true world relationship, whether
based on the proposed league or some
new agreement is immaterial; and de-
yelopment of law, which is the sole
avenue to an abiding peace.
