Unless the people of this country have fallen to

The presidents clever effort to Clothe his cam

the national government is shallow and futile IN
the case of Senator George.
He is a liberal a solid. sound sane and intclli

But he is NOT the sort of liberal which believes
that mere motion is progress and sheer noise and

THE PRESIDENTS TALK

The statement that President Roosevelt IN his
brief appearance in Greenvllle last night made no
effort to interfere in the South Carolina senatorial
contest cannot be sustained.
, The President said that Il don't believe any
family or any man can live on fifty cents day,
and that was direct stab at Senator Smith and
one unworthy of the chief executive of the United
States; Senator Smith long ago denied that he ever
said or implied that South Carolina. family should
live on so cents day.
The senators two opponents were aboard the
train by invitation of the presidential party, Ohm
Johnston riding in from Gainesville and introduc-
ing the President, and Edgar A Brown getting
aboard here to greet him. Senator Smith was
aboard too by invitation of city and county lead
ers who placed him on the reception committee
We like President Rooseyelt's ideals but we do
not like some of his ideas and this idea of chief
executive attempting to tell the people of the states
how to vote in their own state political races is
one of them.
The President pulled his punches IN the South
Carolina contest He did not wade into Senator
Smith as he had waded into Senator Walter f.
George previously in the day but he left no doubt
that he opposes Smith.
He failed to say by word or action which of Sen
ator Smiths opponents he prefers, Johnston or
Brown, however, granting that much of the decl-
sion to South Cardinals voters.
Those voters will decide, we believe, that their
preference is Smith.-Greenvile Piedmont,
