vOLUME XXXV. LAURENSt SOUTH CAROLINA, WEDNESDAY, JULY 14, 1920.NUBR5
OUTLOOK BRIGHT
FOR DEMOCRATS
Senator Smith Optimistic Over Chanc.
es for Success. Goes to Abbeville.
Columbia, July 13.-Fatigued from
'the strenuous duties of Democratic
national convention, to which he was
-a delegate at large from South Caro
lina, and. also travel worn from 'his
trip acrodss the continent, -ElIlson 0D.
Smith, senior senator, arrived in Co
lumbia yesterday, too late to attend
the campaign meeting at Anderson.
iHe will not wait to take a rest, how
ever, but will join the senatorial party
at Abbeville today. This will be hi
first meeting since the campaign start
ed, as lie was on his <way to San Fran
cisco when the tour about the state
began. tiHe attended a meeting of the
state ginners here yesterday and
nade a brief speech.
The senator is optimistic over the
outlook for success of the Democratic
1party at the polls this fall. Hie re
,turns from the convention, 'firmly be
lieving that it was an inspiration to
the party and "a forecast of victory
An November."
Senator Smith was on the commit.
tee on resolutions and platform and
had the honor to write the lank
which deals with equality of rates,
both import and export, for the ports
of the country.
In a statement issued yesterday,
Senator Smith says of the convention:
I am very optimistic over the out
'look forthe success of the Democratic
party. I was chosen by my delegation
to represent the state on the commit
tee on resolutions and platform. The
spirit of 'the membership of this com
-mittee was a forecast of the spirit
.that characterized the entire conven
tion; a pride in the accomplisihment
of the party since it had been in pow
er and a clear-cut statoment without
evasion of the things that it stood for.
The platform has been published and
its planks are known. Aside from
there being written into it by the col
-laboration of the committee. of those
things that affect the producers of the
'country I had the honor of writing
and having adopted that plank whi
Teads as follows:- "The urgent de
nands of the war for adequate trans
portation of war material as well as
for domestic needs revealed the fact
that our port facilities and rate ad
justments were such as to seriously
effect the whole country in times of
peace as well as war. We ,pledge out
party to stand for equality of rates
both import and export for the ports
'of the country to the end that there
may be adequate and fair facilities
and rates for the mobilization of the
products of the country offered for
shlipment."
This is a matter of prime import
ance to the entire South. The discrim
Ination in rates has been one of the
most serious handicaps to the proper
handling of Southern products and to
the development of Southern resourc
es. The neglect of Southern and Gulf
ports is hardly less tian a crime
against the people of the linited
States. The general 'welfare of the
JUited States is dependent upon the
de0velopmlent of all her resources, re
gardless of sections. And I was de'
lighted to see that the iplatformn of
:the Democratic iparty stood squtarely
'for this principtle. I (10 not hltl eve'
-that there ever was gathered together
-at a1 national convention a1 body1 of
men mnovedi by so sinigle a i)urpiose, and1(
that was, that Democ racy should1( win.
There was, to my13 great gratifleatilon,
a recognition from every state In the
union of th e vital Importance of fosi
'tering In every right way t he great
cause of agricutu tre. The nation and1
'the states composing it wer'e brouight
face to face, 1)y the terrilie issues of
this world's w~ar', with tihe importance'
of the products of tile farm. And with
tihe spirit that attested thtis rCcoguli
lion t hey dlevotedl gladlly so much
spac'e in the platform to tis cause.
it is needless for '1e1 to say that this
aas pecu11liarly grat ifying to 111 who
has for' so lonig aL time1 strIven to
bring thin about.
Tn spite-of what the Rlepulhican pa
1)ers inltimtedtt ando saidi ab~out the
force or forces that. would control the
Cehection of ourt candid~ate, therte was
a wlide diver'sity of opinhon, as to who
wvould be the most available. Each
group foutght loyally, and staiwar'tly
for the one they thought best but
wbseni the selection was made the
fight was forgotten -in the loyalty andl
zeal to the Democratic cause and they
joined hands and heart to place the one
thus chosen ia the WVhte House.
Mhenever the name of' President
Wilson was mentioned there twas
tremendous applause and enthusiasm.
The convention did not hesitate at any
time to pay its tribute to the stricken
man in the White House whom them
believed had led America and the
world to its first real vision of the
things yet in store for the race. Take
-it all in all, the San Francisco Demo
cratic convention was an inspiration
to the party and .1 sincerely believe a
forecast of victory in November.

woian suffrgae,
'Governor Clement's proclamaifion
asserted that "as it stands and as in
terpreted by the supreme court today,
the federal constitution threatens the
foundation of free popular govern

The 17th amendment to the consti

through congress and state legisla

amendment had1( been forced t hrouigh
"'by powerful and~ I rresp~onsileI organii

st itut ion of Vermont; that the present
legislature was elected before the

amnendmient had arisen and that .the
peole of the state have had no opipor

8Tit1V(G TO CUltI
UNDUE SPECULATIO'N
Natlonfal Selling Agencles' for Grai
and Live Stock Aim of Farm Bureau
Federation.
'Chicago. IM1., July 12.-Plans for
farmers' national selling agencies for
grain and livestock, with a view to
ward curbing speculation and violent
m-arket fluctuations, will be consid
cred at a meeting here July 23 and 24.
'Public announcement of the confer
ence was made today by the Amer
can Fari Bureau Federation, a farm
ers' organization with upwards of I,
250,000 members In 32 states.
According to J. 'W. Coverdale, sec
retoary of the federation, this meeting
promises to be the greatest conference
of cooperative marketing of farm pro
ducts ever held in the 'United States.
Grain and livestock interests are to
-meet in separato sessions.
"If uniform plans of cooperative
marketing result from this conference
an(d are generally adopted by farmers
a material reduction in the cost of liv
Ing together with a stabilization of
lrices should ensue," says the Farm
Iureau Federation in a statement on
the conference today.
"Starting with the organization of
cooperaitve grain elevators by farm
ers some 20 years ago, the idea of
cooperative marketing has spread
rapidly among farmers, particularly
during recent years, and with notable
success In many other farm products.
It is estimated that during the fiscal
year ending June 30, 1919, farm pro
ducts to the value of more than $1,
500,000,000 were marketed through
farmers' cooperative associations.
"There are now more than 4,000 co
operative elevators in the grain grow
Ing reglans of the country and last
year more than half the nation's grain
was handled by them. Illinois alone
has 540 farmers' elevator organiza
tions operating 700 elevators at 600
different railroad stations. Last year
thep handled approximately 70 per
cent of all the Illinois grain, or about
150,000,000 .bushels at in estimated
saving' of over $3,000,000. In Minne
sota by far the greater portion of the
livestock is Imarketed coopeeativdly
and this also is done extensively in
many other states. Last year a large
portion of the wool clip was marketed
cooperatively through "wool pools,"
which collected and graded the 'wool
and sold it directly to the mills.
'lWhat the farmers now propose to
do is to strengthen their local organt
zations so as to be able to market
their products gradually throughout
the year and to follow these products
a little further down the devious road
which leads to the consumer. In the
case of grain, It is proposed to shIp
much of the cr'op direct from the coun
try elevators to the consumers and
distributors, thus eliminating full one
third of the present railroad handling
of grain.
