WCNGRESSIONAL CAISDIDATES
oke At McCormick Last Week-Ac
count of Mocting.
The following account of the con
gressional campaign neting at Mc
Cormick is taken from the McCormick
Messenger:
The three candidates for congress
ifrom. the Thir' District, Fred 11.
Dominick, incunibent, Sam H. Sherard
and Ed. P. MeCravy, addressed about
300 voters of this county in the eourt
house here last Saturday afternoon, a
large number of- whom were ladies.
In the absence of County Chairman
W. K. Chqrles, 4r . A. J. Bell acted
as chairman - of the- meeting and in
troduced the speakers.
MR. SHERARD FIRST -SPEAKER.
-Mr. SamH. Sherard was the first
speakei. He is a member of the State
House of Representatives from Green..
wood County, and is engaged in farm
ing at Ninety-Six, 20- miles fr9m Mp
. Cormick, and feels, that he is among
homefolks in McCormick.. In asking
for the office of congressman, he
fels that he is asking a great deal
from the people, and 'believes \;hat a
man should be tidroughly familiar
with local andl national conditions be
fore offering for the office; public re
quireiments demand it, and were pever
so great as they are today. He stands
for law. enforcement, and wants a
change n the orgasic lhavs and gov
ernment for betterment, which he ,-e..
lieves will bring more satisfacti-on to
the people. There is no timic fore,
quack or dlemagogue, but rather for
-Ympathy and co:-operation, and if we
will pattern after the fashion )f our
fathers from 1860 to 1865 much good
will result.
. These. who are working in co-opera
tion for peace are working for the
comnmen good. Eighty per cent of
our people are dependent upon the
agricultural 'ntercsts and need the
co-operation of the office holders.
South Carolinians are the peers and
in a large degree excel the people of
any Stat.g in the nation. He gradu
ated in Agriculture at Clemson Col
lege, and spent some time -in the
Philippine Islands and France, but
would not give' his farm at N'nety
Six for the whole of either the Phil
ippine Islands or France. If sent to
congress, the producer will get the
benefit of the doubt in regard to his
vote. He believes the Federal Reservo
.Bank is a great institution, but el'
action of its board which materially
affected currency and brought on
the depression was a drive against
the people. Revisions are badly need -
ed for the system. Section 19 of the
Federal Bank Act should be amended.
It specifies that farm paper, even tho
backed by cotton, is not recognized
by the institution unless the bank ten
lering it is a member of the federal
instituticn. l e said there are 30,000
banks in Am'.rica, 10,000 of which
belong to the Federal Reserve Sys
tem,
Rate of intercst en money is too
high to the agricultural interests; in
France it is loaned at from 2 1-2 to
not nio c than 5 per cent. '.e olio's
that War Finance Corperati'on does
good work, that Henry Ford should
have the Mu.lo Shoals proprty;
believes in federal aid to roads and
schools; bel.'eves in sanitation and
eradication of pests and insects, in
cluding ncstjuitcs. and boll weevils;
wants a bill passed so the government
can and will sell calcium arsenate
to the farmers at cost for fighting
the boll weevil; farmers of Georgia
aie getting calcium arsenate at 9
cent~s a round, while South Carolina
farmers have to pay 15 -* se for it.
.He favors vocational training in
schools, and realizes that education
is of prime importance; and favors
a 50-50 appropriation for schools by
the Federal and State governments;
dloren't belicve it wise to cut taxes to
cripple schecels; favors federal aidt on
highways, and would Work '.n congress
to bring as much federal aid in South
Car-olina as possible for schools..
HeI wculd vote for the soldier bonus
bill; would havec votad for wvar and
thie drmaft act which put the rieh and
poor boyss in the same class; the
American Legion favers tihe bonus,
and so does lie; the samec crowds and
headls of corp~orations which fought
the bonus are now fighting the wvork
ing man, and their only c'are is to
protect mnoneyed interests; denounced
the law makers who cut the pensions
dlown for Confedersite veterans, and
stated that the Amierican .Legion
lends it-s support to prevent strikes
and to keep peace among all classes.
ini conclusion he said, I am a far
mner, farmiing in Greenwood County;
am endhorsedl by my home~ Democratic
convention for congress, which cannot
be said of my opponents; and my in
terests are idhenitical with those of miy
farme~r friends. I bolieve in traitling
that fits . man to help all people, and
also I starid for fair dlealing to all.
Applause.
MR. DOMINICK SECOND TO
SPEAK.
H~on. Fredl H. Dominick, incumbent,
was sec'ond, ard after applause at his
appearaniec on the stand, he began
his odd1-as by ,assuring his hearers
that on account of the intense heat
he would be brief.
- lie theanked the peoplefor the mnag
niflecent support they had given him
In the two previous elections, andl for
the handsome majority of votes which
- he is sure-will be his on the 29th of
this month.
Hie stateth that thd bonus issus is
an important one, ansl that he vote(
agaitist it more than two years ago
before and after the last election
The bill provided' that each sold-ie
would get $1.00 for each day's service
in the'United States and $1.25 a daN
for each day's service 'overseas, noj
exceeding the sum of $600.00, bonus
.being started after a man had beet
in service 60 days. It would coni
in a'-ertiflcate form, and where th(
certificoate called for $300 00. hank.
would only loan $150.00 on it. If th<
certificate was held for 20 years it
would be worth $90.00. He aaikc(
wihy his opponents hadn't itrod uceC
bills for individual' bonus. from th,
State, and answered it himself by
saying that the State treasury is in
the same fix as the federal treasury,
too much in debt.
HI aprov; of aid to (d'idled
soldiers, and. says no one regrets pay
ing this, but the ost is runn-Nig high
Ile was a member of the National
Democratic Convention in San Fran
Cisco two years ago, At which time
the issue was taken up. le wanted
V) know why MIr. Sherard had not
beel more sucessfull on the Walys and
Means Committee of the South Car
olina General Assembly last year
and prevented the $100,000.00 cut inl
the lensicns for Confederate veterans.
His vote against war was no lack
of loyalty, and after war was de
r.lar I he d'd 1l1 in his pewer to wil
it: ai]d didn't think it necessary to
d isu .8 this matter. and had o apoil
ogir's to make for his stand on it.
The TowlerLSterline educational
bill is one of the mort dangerou: hills
that could be Pdvreated, and all spven
of the mlellbers of conress from thi
StOte would vote -tainst it. Dosen't
believe the Federal iyovernment should
have full contrI in these matters, and
is a strong belicver of States' rights.
le appreciated the increasing
majerities given him in the elections
in this county, and laid his record be
fere the voters. sayinsr in no unmis
takeable terms that if the people want
the same kind of service in congress
which they have had since he has
been their servant, to vote for him
and they w-'Il have it. He trusts his
-ecord will merit their support. Ten
months out of every year he is in
Washingtop .- looking after the in
nrests of his State and nation. Mr.
Dominick said he couldn't criticise his
r'pponents for making the race, but
he trusted that his conduct and record
would merit a continuance of. their
support. However. he did think his
-noonents as inemiers of the South
Carolina General Assembly should do
nore good in that capacity before
.ittempting it in congress.
MR. ED. P. McCRAVY LAST
Mr. Ed. P. McCravy of Easley was
the last~ candidate to speak, and he
,egan by saying that it would be'
lothing short of cruelty to keep his
.eorers long. altho lie spoke the fu.ll
,hirty minutes allotted each .eandi
!ate and then said he hadn't said all
to wanted to. \
He was born iust cutk side of Ab
eville nearly fifty years ago: had
rmved all his life and now farms I'
vith white labor in Anderson Coun
.y not far from his home at Easley,
Pickens County: has bei a successful
r'arier and read law. but did not en
'r the nrof9ssion; the time when he
.hould have been in college he was
>lowing a bull on the farm, and his
;uceess as a farmer fellowed this.
lHe criticised r. Dominick for his
and on the war issue, the bonus bill
tndl other thine-s, anid saidl that the
!'ason Mr. E. 11. Aull. editor of The
SJewberry Herald and News, was toot
ing Mr. Dominick's horn wvas that Mr.
Aull received his appointment as Su..
nervisor of the 1920 census at the
iands of Mr. Dominick.. He #Aaimed
that Mr. T,,ominick brought the bonus
?uestion into the presenit campaign,
1i~ also stated "tl-t there are 170,000
~iviT employees receiving a bonus
From the United States treasury, andI
hat .Congressman Dominick gets
;6300.00 bonus a year. He further
flayed the present congressman's rece
ord by sayine- that Mr. Dominick is
-onstantly fighting monstrositiet in
-ongress, and fav'ored Kaiser Bili,
ubmarines and ,other enemies to
merica.
Mr. McCravy is opposed to the way
the cotton exchange is conducted andl
to the influx of iigrants, giving
some figures- showving to what great
proportions some of our large cities
are inhabited by foreign boi'n; b..
lieves in the Democratic way di pay
ing taxes, and says that the income
tax -is A .iust one. He waints to give
the producer of cotton more power
in the marketing sof same ana wants
theln the producer to be move in
:lepend~ent and( free fr-om the snec
nlator,. and believes in organizations
to help tl~e farmers.
He gavbe the number of lawy.'rs in
the nnational house of represent'atives
as 298, out of '438 members, wvhile
the numbmer -of farmers is only 21, and
statedl that the farming interestb
she-uld have a eons iderably lai-gei'
represcntation in Washington bekrE
they can expect much benefit.
Mr. McCravy stated that Mr. Dirnm.
inick opposed wvoman suffrage, bul
says he is in favorof it and is wvilling
to trust his fate to the good womer
of this district, and in closing assure'
themi that he wvould appreciate thein
support as much as any. After i
