Democrats Urged to Go to the
Polls Tuesday.

Columbia. Nov. 2.sNot in many
years has there been so much Re-
publican and anti-Republican agi-
tation in South Caroline hardly
since the days Of ,76. Especially.in
the first district, where Rey. S. i.
B1ongren is a candidate for con-
gress, has the situation become In
teresting. W.
A political rally was held at
Charleston Tuesday night and nu-
merous speeches were made. chief
among these being that Of Thos.
c. Mcleod. democratic candidate
for governor He urged loyalty to
the Democratic party anu called
on all Democrats Of the state to
vote the party ticket on November
Tth.
State Democratic Chairman Ed
gar A. Brown, of Barnwell, has re-
Gently issued an appeal to the
Democrats of the state, urging them
TO vote next Tuesday and to vote
Democratic. He appealed for a
full vote.
Democratic leaders sense in re-
cent agitation for a clean Repubii-
can party in South Carolina, an
effort on the part of the G.. o. p.
to make up in SoutherB states for
certain losses of strength in the
west and other sections. They
urge a strong stand against the ag-
gression of Republicans in the state.
In addition to opposing the Re
publican aggression, the appeal
for a full vote next Tuesday is
based on another greund-the pos
sible re-apportionment Of the seats
in congress on the basis Of voting
strength in the states. 1t is point
ed out that if the Democrats of
the state cast only small vote on
November 7th, there is: possibility
OF the state losing some OF It's con-
gress:onal representation, if the re-
apportionment is based on the
votes cast in the various states.
The entire state is interested in
the outcome Of the. race for con-
gress in the first district, where
Congressman w. Turner Logan, OF
Charleston, is opposed by Rev.
Blomgren. Mr.. Logan's election is
not doubted, but there is interest
manifest in the voting strength his
opponent will be able to accumu-
late. Not in months Of Sundays
has a Democrat been opposed by
a white candidate Of the position
and character Of Mr.. Blomgren,
and the outcome of his race is
watched with interest.
Everything is in readiness for the
voting in South Carolina next
Tuesday. The election commissions
ers are this week working out final
details in connection with the poll
! ing arrangements. A light vote is
expected though Democratic lead
ers generally are urging a full vote.

PAROLES AND
THE Law
Right of the Governor to Re
yoke Paroles Before the
Supreme Court

Columbia; Nov. The state
supreme court at 70 O'Clock this
morning heard arguments in the
case brought by Grover Crooks. who
Instituted habeas corpus proceed
ings in an effort to secure his re-
lease from the state penitentfary.
The court took the case under adj
visement. It's decision will set an
important precedent in South Car
.olina and will have weight in de-
ternlining the value Of the parole
law.
Assistant Attorney General J. M.
Daniel argued the case for the
state. p. B. Evans represented
Crooks. The habeas corpus papers
were served on superintendent A..
Il. Sanders, of the penitentiary yes
terday. Crooks was in the court
room when the case was argued.
Crooks asked FOR his release on
the ground that the time Of ex-
pration Of his original sentence
having expired, he was outside the
reach Of the governor in connec-
ton with the parole. The state
took the position in answering this
argument that the law and other
court decisions are to the effect
that when a convict is paroted, it
does not subtract from the tine of
his original sentence the days he
is out on parole. but that II he
violates the condition Of the pa
role, and is arrested again, he is
Liable to service OF all the remain
ing unseryed days of his original
sentence. The assistant attorney
general referred TO several case de-
sic:isions OF thesceurts in substantial
tion OF his argument. sss5 81
Crooks was paroled by Govern
or Cooper in December, 1921. when
he had served all but four months
OF a SIX year term imposed in 1916
FOR assault and battery with intent
to Kill. He was recently arrested
on q warrant sworn by his broth

Edered him brought back to the
