Fellow Citizens: The primary (
system of the Democratic partv!
" 1
in South Carolina is very largely
my own work. The canvass of (
the candidates from county to ,
county seeking office, discussing (
is ues and letting the people (
meet them face to lace, is an (
essential and very valuable fea
ture of our political machinery.
The daily papers have always
opposed this programme because ,
it broke up tbe old svstem under
which tbe editors 01 i hose p ipers
exercised immense power, and in (
a measure dictated our politics. (
Unable to get the Constitution
changed bo as to do aw ?y with
this Stale campaign, they have j
hit upon a device of rendering it
inoperative and largely nugatory
by giving very meagre, unimportant
and often garbled ac- (
conntB of the speeches. The people
being told that the candidates |
are Raying nothing, do not turn
out to the meetings, and this .
m:?ke9 the plan a failure because
i
the people do not see or hear the
men who want their votes, and ^
the newspapers accomplish their ^
purpose of controlling our poli
^ tics. \
The meetings are rendered ridi- t
~...wua i>y iiic snori time given to j
any candidate in which to pre* i
sent his views and make known j
his qualifications. The discus
sions, instead of being educative,
enabling the voter to select the {
candidate whose personality and (
platform are most to his liking, j
are farces. No man can do him* (
sell or any importuni subject jus- i
lice in the 10, 20 or 30 minutes
lime allotted to him under the |
| fdan new being carried out, and
something must he done to
change this condition or govern-h

lut i :i n unwiil'ng t> join the'
present Sta'.e campaign party
*nd be limited in my speeches a?
I must be. It would be unjust
to the others if I were not limited.
I, therefore, have decideii
that I will attend none of the
Sta'e campaign meetings, utiles;
jpeciallv invited to do so by lh<
sxecutive committee and shal
have all of the time I want. ?
Instead I give notice that aft :i
the 7th of July, when I wil
make my first speech at Sand}
Flat, in Greenville county, I wil
he ready and am desirous of tin
appor'unity to address the people
it picnics or other pu* lie gather
ings to be held always in tin
spell air at audi time and plac<
?s may be desired that I shal
'peak to them. Of course, 1 wil
reserve the right to select tin
bounties in which I will accept
invitations and will arrange t<
accommodate as many as possibh
in the month which I will devot?
to this work. I have no objectioi
find will welcome the presence o
such other officials and candi
fates as my friends may see fi
to invite.
A moment's reflection wil
show that the programme nov
being carried out of limitec
speeches would be altogether t<
my advantage, because Mr
Lumpkin could never make nuicl
af an impression in the limitec
Lime which he can obtain. While
be thinks candidates for the Sen
?te should not discuss Stat<
issues, I think very differently
find want to discuss them, but
3an do no good and will waste i
lot of valuable time, which I hac
rather devote to rest and recu
peration alter mv hard winter'i
work, than follow the campaigr
is it i9 being conducted- Mr
Lumpkin will be at liberty to tel
the people all about nationa
issues that 1 do not know, whih
[ will tell the people about Stal<
iffairs and how they have beet
mismanaged and how they ough
to be reformed. At this time ]
tiave only two engagements ii
he State, one at Sandy Flat, it
Greenville county, on July 7tl?
and one at Elloree, in Orange
burg county, on July 14th, tin
place where I made mv secoiu
'peech in the State. As soon a,
I have arranged a schedule <>
meetings 1 will announce tin
lates ai.<l places, and I shall hop<
