POLITICS FOR NEXT YEAR
WILL SOON BEGIN TO BOOM
Chief Interest For Next Year Will
s.. Be In The Race For
Governor

Columbia, Aug. 30.-It's a long
way to the political Tipperary, but
there's already talk of who'll be in
the arena next year. So far no hat
has been definitely thrown into the
ring, but it is likely that politics will
warm up in 1922. There's talk al
ready.
The race of chief interest next
year will be that for governor. AL
ready the people of the state are
talking about candidates for that Of
flee, and it is said that ring full of
hats are being shipped up for the
campaign.
Several former politicians have
been mentioned, either by themselves
or by others, as possible candidates
for the seat of the chief executive,
among them Former Lieut.. Governor
Bethea, Former Attorney General
Peoples and Former Governor Blease,
Lieutenant Governor Wilson G. Har-
vey, of Charleston, is being discussed
as possible aspirant. State Sen.
ator J. H. Marion, of Chester, con.
sidered one of the ablest men in pub
lie life in the state, has been men,
toned publicly as a possible candi-
date. Col. Holmes B. Springs, Of
Greenyille, formerly of Georgetown
is also one of the leading men men
toned in connection with the race fol
governor next year, and Major Henry
C. Tillman of Greenwood, has also
been talked of. Still another man who
is thought to be aspiring to the race
and to the Office of governor is State
Senator George K. Laney of Chester
field. There will also possibly be
others, but these are the men whose
names have gained the greatest
amount Of notice in connection with
the Office to be vacated by Governor
Cooper at the end of 1922.
Former Judge Mendel L. Smith, OF
Camden, has also been mentioned in
connection with this Office, but Judge
Smith stated in Columbia recently
that he was not thinking of running
for governor; he said he prefers tc
practice law.
There will probably be some othe,
interesting races. Whether Governo,
Cooper intends to run for some
higher office is matter of some con.
lecture, but a matter on which the
present chief executive has main
tanned silence.
Senator Wightman of Saluda, fam
ed for his ruthless attacks on state
expenditures, is also allowing himself
to be mentioned in connection with
politics, though he has made NJ
definite announcements. His speeche!
during the 1921 general assembly
| led to the belief that he had the po
tlitical bee in his bonnet.

million manned and wounded in the
World War, will not falter if ever again

Of liberty and justice Is never IN moral

Belgium pledged their countries In prtn-
ciple to the cause of reduced land arma-
ment, as far as consonant with national
safety
8. The United States is not inclined
to consider allowing any power by one
device or another to increase the quotas
proposed as bases for future naval
strength. The American program was
worked out with regard to every con-
ceivable contingency, and to permit 1t at

for the political and economic reforma-

Far Eastern and Pacific questions? To
the general public that section Of the
conference agenda is proceeding with the
smoothness Of a perfectly oiled machine.
So it is, in respect Of general, broad
principles. The conference has devised
practical methods for dealing with every
big league problem thus far presented
the Chinese tariff, extraterritoriallty,
Chinese postal freedom" etc.
When other topics bob up as they
presently wilI-lea schools and conces-
sions that must be disgorged, treaty
ports, spheres Of influence, railways, ex-
ternaI loans. and what nOt-they, too,
will be assigned to subcommittee. But
when the moment arrives for tacknng
them not on broad principles, but apply
ing principles In concrete detaiI-the
brass-tacks stage Of the game-then
watch for flying fur. 1t is then flint may
flash between Britain and France. Their
vested interests in China are extensive
and of long standing. They were past
masters in the spOliauon Of the Chinese
long before the amateur japanese took
It up.
Before Lord Curzon opened his
mouth both north and south" as an
English Journalist in Washington puts
it, there was prospect Britain and France
would march shoulder t. shoulder at
Washington on certain Far Eastern af-
fairs-that they would 7 Dol their inter
ests and their woes now, Curzon
having spilled incendiary beans. they
may not do so with such promptness or
mutual good faith.
Yes, Lloyd George has a grand and
glorious opportunity. He can make or
break the conference men are say
ing. They have read the INSPIRED
editorials in the Sunday newspapers OF
London, urging 1t is Il. G.'s" patriotic
duty to hurry across the Atlantic aud
strike a blow for England, home and
beauty" It is the kind Of slow music
that always proceeds some grandiOse &C
ton on his part. Il will not be the same
Lloyd George who has weatherAd the
storms that have passed over Downing
street since December, 1916, If he is not
here in good time to see TO It that John
Bull has a merry Christmas.
Whatever his motives, and whenever he
comes, Lloyd George is assured OF a
splendid welcome in Washington. The
President and Secretary Hughes are
known to be anxious that he should come.
He is sure to inject an atmosphere OF
dynamic energy into the conference, At
whatever stage his arrival finds It. Ameri-

the war spirit of Germany is not dead
nor are her actual preparations for re-
hewing war by any means neghbae. The
French premier asserts Germany today
has 100000 potential troops ready for a
new campaign. France, nevertheless, is

WASHINGTON, Nov. 2S.-Though the
Washington conference seems to have
struck a little rough Shedding for the
moment. another undertaking Of great
interest to women has reached a sue
cessful climax.
When on Monday last the Senate, with
out debate, "concurred" with slight
changes made by the House in the Shep-
pard Towner bill it was only a matter
of hours when the President affixed his
signature, which he did on the day be-
fore Thanksgiving. Nothing except the
successful debut Of the Washington con-
ference has given him greater pleasure
No wonder, because its successful pass
age so early in his Administration was
a distinct personal triumph. And be-
sides, the President knows, as all the
progressive Republican leaders know
that the Sheppard Towner bill viii be
factor in alternating the criticism In next
years Congressional elections, that this
Congress has been "reactionary" and IN
mindful of the interests of the people.
NEW BILL
PROMOTES WELFARE
And now, only a few doors from the
=
ington conference is trying to make hui
man life more sacred, the chidren's
bureau is preparing to accept the admin
istration OF the bill designed to pro
mote the welfare and hygiene Of matern-
ity and infancy"
1t is entirely logical, but nevertheless,
a striking concident that the United
States Government should be embarklng
on these two adventures IN human vel
fare at the same moment and a few
doors apart.

are delighted to accept this additional
responsibility"
1t must be remembered. however, this
