"The number of German troops known to be on the Western side of that country proves that it is the eastern theatre of war, the Kusso-German frontier, so far as Germany is concerned, is com paratively lightly guarded unless by reservists."

Address .to The The Third Coi II? . F O .;Y ? p'ellow Citizens: From tin: opening of tho campaign for congress from tills district I have endeavored to he fair and have suc ceeded in making my campaign on h high plane, refusing to indulge in personalities and discussing through out the district those question? of National importance which I consider of Interest to the citizens of this congressional district. I consider that the public record of any many who offers himself as a' candidate for office is u public issue because there Is no surer way to tell. how a public man will conduct him-' CAPT. F, S. EVANS. self" in tue future than to refer to his j conduct a? shown by his public rec : ord In the past. Two candidates who ] I have asked you for your votes,, to wit: Messrs. Aiken and Dominick, have public records. The other two' of us, to-wit: Mr. Horton and myself, have .'nevdr held public olllcc, I feel! therfore, that in the beginning I should tell you something of who or what. I am, before I discuss what I conceive to be the issues of the cam paign. I live at Greenwood, S. C, and my interests in life have been there for the past twenty-three years. There has never been an enterprise of any kind launched in that community that I did not actively support and without boasting I think that I can claim my share of the credit for the wonderful growth cf my home city. My business is-the Cotton Oil Mill business, hav I ing worked myself up to the .top in (that business from.an humble *beg1n4 nlng. I am a -graduate of the Univer sity of Hard Knocks and the only de gree of which I can boast is the De gree of Common Sense, which expe rience: has conferred upon me in.-the j years of my life. If you send, me to represent you in the halls or.congress, the same energy and loyalty and com mon sense which have been given, to mon sence which have been given to the upbuilding of my . community will bo as freely epent In your Interest at the national .capital. .Politically I am a novice. Two years ago I ran for congress against Mr. Aiken and al though unknown in the political field 13cven thousand of my fellow citizens in this district showed their confl uence in me by voting for me and .from the expressions which I have heard over the district I f?el confl ! dent that these friends are still loyal (and that thousands of others have been added to help swell the vote which .you will give me on the 25th I of August. .. r.,'-i Enough, oft myself. My platform Is |ibrief. 1 f.tand in .absolute accord with tlie national administration under tho j.woedcrful leadership of Wood row I Wilson. In addition I pledge myself to ; be ever on the alert to advance the interest of my district at large and \ to further those .objects and princl , pies which will go to the upbuilding, materially, socially and morally of |our beloved South. It Is to be presumed that Mr. Aiken lie asking re-election at your hands because of his record in .congress. A perusal of that record, therefore, be comes Important. Mr. Aiken, has made so little a record that it is difficult for one to find.lt. But the.chief feature that .needs attention is the fait that although - Mr. Alken by reason .of, long service shoujd have been entitled to recognition on any of the big commit tees of, the house, non has .he. been made.chairman of anyv.of.the commit-; teoe of. the house. It has been brought out on the gtump In. this campaign [that >Mt-? Aiken ..was..in ??a? foy -tha Chairmanship of the committee on the District -of. Columbia, ?< very imfcor1-; tant chairmanship and that his Demo, cratte brethren of .-the. vjays .and means committee did .not give ,him that. chairmanship h?c?u*n h?>. had been 90 lax *in his.attendance pn that committee that he did not feel' himself /ipable of performing Its important duties. ' - , Mr. Alken. by. bla vote pn,-the -Pan ama Canal Toll Bill,haa alued, himself .with that,; division of* th* democratic party, which lalargoly controlled - by $he - most, contemptible ,;Amorl".an, William Randolph-J?c*r*t."[a J?c at tempts to Justify hl*|liet?aiar of. that principle of the democratic party which lise existed: for^a ??n*?K3C to-; wit: '.fSkittal, rlghta lOrlftV^ifwal privilege ;to none/V-by aawg^.tnat. he; was following thes leadership of Mr. Clark and Mr. Underwood.. hnd he holds these gentlemen up as the great spectacles of human, political perfec tion. At-Balt?M?*:?, tho democracy of this coiihtry In no. uncertain, terms re-' huked Mr. Clark 4or hts^uuholy alll-" anc? . with Tammany HalF veberebj* be sought the presidondy at >*ho; ex party, which la largely controlled Aby within the party. And that air. Un derwood's campaign oxpepa?9, when h? was ? candidate tor the democratic Voters of igr?ssional District I. E?nUs. - c ncmination for ^?-esident, wore borne almost entirely by the large int?r?t! of Wall Street and; elsewhere in the country, who have been praying for fifty years upon the poor people of tills nation with unremitting fury uud viciousnesr. Had Mr. Underwood's op-, ponent in Alabama been other than ('apt. Hobson It is not at ail certain' but what the people of Alabama' would have rebuked him just as the democratic party had rebuked Mr. | Clark. If Mr. Aiken makes it a qucs-j tien of leaders I would call your at-1 tention to the fact that there were, opposed to Mr. Clark and* Mr. Under-1 wood on this issue, two men whose loyalty to the interests of the common people cannot be questioned. I refer to Woodrow Wilson, of New Jersey, and William J. Bryan, of Nebraska, if Mr. Aiken wishes to explain his vote on the ground of-hts pledge it would be well for you to remember that he pledged himself to work in harmony with his democratic colleagues in congress and not with any one or two of them. Upon the Panama Canal Tolls Bill the democratic, members of the house .of representatives preferred the side of Wilson and Bryan to the side of Clark and Underwood by a vote of some five or six to one. In the ! face of the fact that almost every county convention in this district and the state convention in Columbia put1 themselver. on record in no. uncertain terms as being opposed to this virions, grant of the people's money to spe-' cial interest, Mr. Ailccn still tolls you that if he li3d the vole to go over again he would vote the same way. Tie no longer recognizes you as the matter and himself ns the servant, but has put himself up as the only inter ly owned and controlled by the t'teel cannot defend, any vote for a subsidy Oi? principle. Tiiu American people} buii* Uie Panama Canal and they should be allowed to use it all alike. The shipping Industry which in large ly ownedxand controlled by the Seel (Trust should not be granted a special' graft in that public owned utility. It would he Jur.t as fair to say to the cotton farmer of the South that he could ship his cotton through for nothing as it would he to say to the American Steel Companies that they could Bend their steamships through for nothing. It would be Just us righteous to say to the cotton mills of the South that they need pay no taxes as it would be to say to the ship owinc interests that they need pay no tolls, if Mr. Alken wanta toj vote for subsidies and can make a suf ficient compromise with his con-! science to do so, it docs reem tbat'hls' loyalty to you people would limit that vote to a subsidy on something, that would benefit you instead. of a sub sidy on something that would benefit you Instead of a 'subsidy -on some thing that would enrich the Steel Trust: Mr. Aiken is also In favor of remoy ing .froru. the operation of civil service all of tfR rural carriers and assistant postmasters In this country. The scheme in this is one that strikes at the very foundation. of the rock upon, which your liberties are built. - It means a substitution of political pre ferment in government service for merit, it means that if Mr. Alken so desires under, the operation of this bill he. could, dictate to the rural car riers and assistant postmasters in his' district and-that-would mean that those of bur fellow citizens who havci by their meritorious conduct and ex aminations obtained these positions must give up their right of free speech and free thought and support i the congressman who Is In or lose I their Jobs. That may bo Mir. Alken's Idea of pr .tics In a democracy, but I want.to tell you this. If. Frank Evans ever has to obtain or. retain an office by such methods as this .he will never be . your representative In con gress. I want you .rural carriers and other employees of the government to vote.for the man you think Is.the best man to serve the interest of your dis trict In the halls of congress. As a large employer of men. it has always been my policy .to recognUe merit and I gee. do reason at this late day for changing my plan. - -Mr. Domlnick, of Newberry county, 1b. the other one-of my opponents who has a public record. He Is now assist-, ant attorney general of South Caro lina, n"d was for-a short time a rep resentative- from hjewberry county in tue state ..legislature.

Doniinick was one, submitted a report in which it was recommended that the harmless little bill b^? stricken out and have the following hill substituted in lieu thereof: "A bill to authorize and m power the board pf directors of the State Dispensary to grant permits the establishment and op?ration for the sale of beer by retail or otherwise in cities of over 20,000 population, etc." Section two of this monstrosity readr as follows: "That said permits be continued and be of force for a term of four yours unless revoked for cause by the state board of directors and the holders thereof shall havo the power to manufacture, bottle and sell, by retail or otherwise now provided by law." This bill raised such a furor that the members of the free conference committee felt it necessary to sign the statement to be found on pago 680 ' and 681 of the lioust Journal of 1902 in which tlioy Btatcd that they signed this free conference report, "when brought to us by Mr. Dominick of said committee, with the understanding that it was to correct a defect or sup ply an omission in a law, which was passed by the last session of the legis lature." This explanation was given by Messrs. Hough, Dougless. Tat um and Butler, who all stated that they did not read the report but took Mr. Dominiek's word for it. It .appears from the record that the offense was so grave that n concurrent revolution was introduced which stated "that the report of the committee on free ccnfercr.ee on said bill was signed .der misapprehension, Induced by ..^representation made to them by one of the conferees on the part of the house of representatives," and a committee war appointed to* inquire into and investigate, l ut when the people of Ncwbcrry got through with Mr. Dominick and left him out of tho next legislature it showed 'plainly enough that they had investigated and inquired into the situation sufficient for their purpose. Surely the people of this district do not want it to go on record in Washington that on account of the mlfjrftnresentation. of a repre sentative from this proud old etato it would be noccssary to havo a joint in vestigation by tho senate und houseN of representatives. The question for the people of this district is, .do w'e want Aiken .with his misinterpretation of democratic prin ciples to colt himself and the steel corporation and his lacy of harmony with Wilson and Bryan r".,Do we want Dominick whoso record shows that he wan a better friend In 1902 to the cit izens of Columbia and Charleston, who wanted to manufacture aid. Boll beer, thpn to the people in Newbcrry coun ty und who when opportunity came to help the mill people; voted jj against them? Or do we want Evaur who has made of himself what ho ?b today, who ha* stood at the froefront, of progress In his community and coun ty, who has studied the Issues before the American .congress a?}d factored 'them, and ,who wIlUbe^&V.TQgprcsentn tlve of the plain , honest-people of the third congressional district If he hi elected. . The question must bo answered by the voters of thiB district on. the 25th day of August and I await their ver dict in perfect confidence that, the people's judgment will he in favor of me and I pledge yor.
