Protested South Carolina
Election Before Court
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
CHARLESTON. S. c., Nov. a.
The recent election of Mrs. Clara
G. Mcmillan as first district repre-
sentative was under protest here
today on the ground that the secrecy
of the ballot was violated.
James F. WEIGH. co-founder of
the Economic Liberators Group
seeking national share-the- wealth
plan, said Chief Justice John G.
Stabler of the State Supreme Court
had issued writ of certiorari in
connection with the election.
Mr.. Welch said the writ was OBJ
tanned on petition of A. L. King,
attorney of Columbia and George
town, representing four districts of
the Macedonian precinct, Berkeley
County. They have charged that
the secrecy of the ballot was not
protected and that, therefore, the
said alleged election was null and
void as a matter of law"
The election protest was disal-
lowed by the State Board of Can
vaSsers last week.
Mr.. WEIGH said Justice Stabler
had ordered the Board of Can
vassers to turn over the ballots to
the Supreme Court by December S
and that the hearing would be held
in Columbia December II.

And What
They Do
Reynoud Confers
On United Stotes
Of Europe PIon
BY LEMUEL PARTON.

Talk1ng TO several incoming Eu-
ropean writer's and lecturers during
the last few weeks, this writer notes
considerable buck-passing about who
killed the German republic and
helped set up Hitler. The English
say the French did 1t, and vice
versa. Much of this argument
turns on the wrecking of the pro-
posed German-Austrian customs
union, when Heinrich Bruening was
Chancellor Of Germany, which
makes an interesting back-drop for
today's news. The allies of Andre
Tardieu in France and Sir John
Simon of England, who quickly
squelched the above anschluss, are
now devising a European customs
union, as a detail of their peace
plans.
Among them is the deft, dapper,
agile Paul Reynaud, French minister
of finance, who held the same Office
in Tardieus cabinet. He is now in
London, and, according to news dis
patches, conferring with British
economists to lay the foundations
of united states of Europe. The
plan involves common European
currency and the pooling of eco
nomic resources. So far, peace has
been a Pandora's box into which
they didn't like to look. This is one
of several moves Of the last few
days toward the clariflcation Of war
aims.
Since 1884, M. Reynaud has been
just about the only man in France
to devise anything helpful in erratic
French finance. He is only nomi-
nally French, belonging to the
sagacious and literally long-headed
race of lGurians, who, nesting high
on the cliffs Of their native BARGE
lonnet, get a long-range view and
swoop down to finance and states
manship when things look interest
ing. M. Reynaud, like his ancestors,
ran department stores in Mexico,
gathered plenty of francs and GEN.
times and returned to France, to
become, SUCCESSFULLY minister of
colonies, justice and finance.
In French Indo-China he vigor-
ously opposed vast and devious
Communist plots. Communism being
his bette noir and possibly an incen-
tive to his present activity in look
ing ahead to peace days. He has
been somewhat of middle-o -of-the-
roader in politics. The fact that he
can get a good bird's-eye view Of
finance was proved when he sold
all his stocks at the peak, in 1929,
and advised his friends to do like
wise.
The rGurians are traditionally
wise in money matters and regard
the supposedly sagacious French as
mere parvenus. Their clff-hung

constructive labor organization of
the two in the national field so far
as preventing strikes and disputes
is concerned, has known for many
months that the tide was turning
and has attempted to convince the
administration that the Wagner Act
itself would be endangered unless
trariness in the terms of the law
itself.
Abuses Grow Rapidly.
The simple fact is that the Gov
ernment, through the Wagner Act,
has bestowed an excess of power
upon private groups on the theory
that the workers were being inter-
fered with in their fight to choose
spokeSmen for collective bargain
ing, but it turns out what actually
is substituted is bargaining by
small group of monopolists who are
under no public obligation to con-
suit the wishes of the workers at all.
The abuses have grown rapidly.
so that employers are beginning to
demand governmental regulation of
labor unions, just as corporations
are regulated in the public interest.
All thought that labor will of it's
own accord compose its differences
and cease its abuses of the collec-
tive bargaining power can be dis
missed. The Nation has waited
patiently since 1885 for the labor
law to diminish labor strife and now
public sentiment, as reflected in
Congress, appears to be demanding
that laws be enacted taking away
the arbitrary powers exercised by
the few labor cliques over the des-
TIMES and livelihoods of millions
of American workingmen.

good many sound observers believe
that it will, but for the moment it
holds the spotlight.
There are those who believed,
when the former Indiana Governor
began going through the motions
of presidential candidate, that
his aspirations could be laughed
off. Nobody thinks that today.
Whatever may be his shortcom-
ings, he has that quality which
President Roosevelt, in another con-
nection, Is said to have designated
as political 'it." The danger is.
from McNutt's point of view, that
he may have too much of this "it." /"
that he may be too handsome, too
brash, too charming-too some
thing or other-for his own polit-
ical good. The country may not
want another President, just yet,
who invites the use of superlatives
1t may want to relax under the easy
guidance of somebody less exciting.
All this remains to be seen.
What can be seen today with the
naked eye is that the Federal Sc
curity administrator is campaigning
for the presidency with a shrewd-
ness and single-mindedness that
promise to make him, unless he is
headed off by President Roosevelt,
a powerful contender in the NOM
mating convention.
An example of Mr.. McNutts
shrewdness is the way he is making
himself the champion of the social
security system. ToWnsendism was
not killed off by the unfavorabl
vote on it in the present Congress.
nor was ham and eggs laid per-
manently to rest by the balloting
this month in California, nor was
BigeloWism killed for keeps by the
decision in Ohio. Any or all of
these lsms, or combination of
them, or some new idea appealing
to old people and those who would
dlvest themselves of the support of
\old people, may arise at any time.
anywhere, to haunt the dreams of
the seekers after public office. In
one form or another the demand
for pensions will plague many a
candidate in the coming national
campaign.
1t Is clearly the strategy of the
McNutt forces to anticipate this de-
mand-to take the play away from
the pension advocates by unremitting
championship Of broader social Sc
curity system. Mr.. McNutt is pur-
suing the same effective strategy
that the President used when he set
out, with his so-called "soak-the
rich taxes, to take the play away
from. Huey Long, and again when
ne fed quieting sop to the imitation
lists in Congress by accepting the
Thomas amendment to the first
A. A. A. Act.
Clever Strategy.
The McNutt strategy in the social
security field is not only clever poll
tics; it is also, considering the DO
sition that he occupies as the head
OF the security system and the social
philosophy of the party to which
he belongs, unexceptionable politics
In its purely political aspect, the
McNutt policy has the vote-gettine
merit OF ranging him, on the one
hand, against "crackpotism," and
on the other hand, in favor of in
creased benefits within the frame
work of the present law.
This middle-o -the-roadism with
respect to pensions gives the key
to the whole political philosophy on
which Mr.. McNutt is basing his bid
for the presidency. He is endeavor-
ing to build himself up as conserva-
