EUROPEAN WAR. BULLETINS
(Continued from Page 1.)
Troops Are Located j
London, Aug. 12?The official press bureau of the British war
office says today:
"Of th* 20 German army corps, the bulk has been located and'
it is evident that the mass of German troops is concentrated between i
Liege and Luxemburg.
"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."
After Liege Again
Brussels, via London, Aug 12.?The fight for the possession
of the Liege forts has recommenced. The German army, erected,
a bridge at Lixhe for the transport of troops and heavy material,
and it is possible that-simultaneously an attempt will be made to'
cross the river Meuse in front of Liege, for convoys have bee'ni
sighted proceeding towards Engis.
Renewing the Fight
London, Aug. 12?The struggle between the Belgians and the i
Germans for the Liege forts recommenced today. The forts are be-}
ing Iii .'d upon and are returning the lire vigorously.
Changing Tactics
Brussels, Aug. 12?via Paris?The German army has moved
! north of Liege and is advancing Into the heart of Belgium. It is
difficult to determine the objective There is a screen of cavalry in
| extraordinary forces along the whole front of the alleged armies.
A new army corps is investing Liege. The French cavalry is
engaged in sharp lighting. Both the German and yllied armies
are feeling their way.

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-'

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

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.

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. Unfortunately
for Mr. flpmlnlck,, the people of New
berryacounty saw fit at the end of his
service to retlfo. him : to private life
by anch an overwholming j majority
that he has had to wajt a decade be
fore .he couid get up enough courage
to ask the peqple .for .votes. Mr.
Domlnick has made his j campaign al-:
most,entirely to my follow citizens at

is that MV. Ddmtnlck while.In the leg-j

shall and. others.
* On p*go ?63 and 664 of the -Houso
Journal for the snmo year concerning
Hduao Bill lost and- Senate Bill 631,1
which was- an act amended so;as to
Increase the salary of tho sheriff of
Orangeburg .county, tho conference
.committee consisting of three menv
bers of thf Senate and three of the
house, of which Fred H. 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. In advance that
all of my time and talents eh all. be
giye tno the advancement and true
representation of my people.
