A POLITICAL ItKVlEW.
From ii >ian in Newberry Who Ila?
Five Sons in Service.
I understand thu't Dominick claims
tbol Ito lias boen misrepresented. I
tldmil I misunderstood tho purpose of
tba soldiers' credit bill, and as tho
hitler was published in tour papers
it was cut out in tliroo papers tfid
would have been cut out in the State
had it not been too late. However
ho voted against tho bill, which was
voting against tho administration.
Kollow-citizens. 1 am not writing
in tl\e Interest ot' any man or friend,
hut to the interest of our country
and humanity. We should now cast
our ballots for the tuan, whether he
bo a personal enemy or friend, who
believes in the rigtlieonsnoss ol' our
cause and embodies the principles
our forefathers freely shod their life
blood to establish.
Our boys are now in the midst of
tho conflict and their hearts beat
high with tho'splrlt ol' froedom. They
are animated with thc justico of their
cause, and while they grasp their
weapons, they look back to us for in
spiration and encouragement and up
to heaven for assistance. Can' -you
picture tholr feelings of distress and
anguish, should wo tell thom they
aro lighting tor an unjust and hellish
cause, btit as we aro in it they must
tight it to a ll niall? This is what you
will do should you volo for a man
who does not believe our cause is
just and right.
Heaven forgive mo if with too re
sentful and impetuous a scorn, I de
test submission to a people who have
either ceased to be human or have
not virtue enough to feel their own
servitude and abasement.
You have never beard Dominick
say that our cause is just and right,
and if bo be consistent you will neve!
hear him say so.
After our President had exhausted
every honorable menus to keep free
from tho conllict, be sorrowfully, but
determinedly. informed Congress
that wi- would either have to submit
or tight. Now what did Dominick
do ' I lind in the Congressional Rec
ord that on the ."?th ol April, lui 7,
Dominick voted against war, or to
submit to Germany, and against Hu
draft ol' men to create an olllcieitl
army. .May 4th, 11)17, he voted
against putting bridles on tho dis
loyal, or the espionage act. May iii
I!? IS, ho voted against the consol
bill to suppress news that would aid
the enemy. March IS, 11118, he vot
ed against daylight saving bill.
I have been told that the Christian
denominations of our district, know
ing that hundreds ol' thousands ol
people? were starving and that tb?
whiskey interest was converting mil
lions of bushels of grain into un all)
of the Kaiser and tho devil, prayer
tully petitioned him to vote in the in
loresl of humanity, only to learn that
it was about as easy to separate
cause and effect as to separate ullin i
ties, for on December I, 1917, lie
voted against the national prohibition
bill.
Fellow-citizens, we are now stand
ing at the door of our real greatness
and if we measure up to the standard
of justice for which our forefather
freely shod their life blood to ostab
lisll, the star of America will shlno
before all the world to light up tho
path to liberty and wo will bo loved
for all time to come,
How can this bo accomplished by
sending a man to Congress who does
not believe in the righteousness of
our cause and has demonstrated hi
hostility to tho administration be
vend any doubts? There is no way
of judging what ho would do in Cou
gross, but by what he luis done; thor
are only two sides to any proposition
-tho right and the wrong. If ho ls
right, then we should have submit
ted to tho Kaiser and acknowledged
to tho world that we were unworthy
of tho lagacy handed down to us bj
our forofathors.

WALIIALI/A CHA PTEIt,
A. ll. O,
During tho Hod ('ross war drive in
Valparaiso and the coast towns of
Chill, which ended July Cth. a total
of $118.000 in American gold was
collected. This is very remarkable
inasmuch as the district in which this
collection was made had less than
200 American residents.
An interesting experience of a Red
Cross worker in Rome was related
recently. This man. coming homo
rather late, lost his way and was way
laid by two bandits, who pointed
pistol at his hoad and demanded his
money. He very calmly said, "I am
Capt. --, of tho American Rod
('ross." They immediately assumed
an attitude of tho utmost respect
told tho officer that he had wandered
into a part of town that was not safo
and after telling him that they would
soo to lt that nothing should ever
happen to any man representing the
American Red Cross, escorted him
to tho moro civilized parts of the
city, and, bidding him a courteous
good evening, departed.
The ruling of tho War Department
regarding the issuing of passports to
women having relatives in the Uni
ted Slates military forces, which w;
modified recently so that sisters of
soldiers may go abroad In Red Cross
and Y.M.C.A. work, has been fur
thor changed to include tho sisters of
male civilians om ployed by tho Rod
('ross, the Y.M.C.A. and other organ
izations of a similar nature on duty
In Europe and also the sisters of
male civilians who aro employed by
or attached to the American exped?
tionary forces. Under the new rul
lng sisters may he sent abroad under
specific conditions, one. of the most
Important of which ls that they will
make no effort to visit thoir brothoi
If any of these conditions aro vioiat
ed, tile organization for which tho
violators aro working is under obll
gatton io return them Immediately

LET TUES I{J ;< OKDS SPEAK.
Congressman Dominick Replies (o
Aiken's Attack on His Record.
In the report of the speech deliv
ered hy Mr, Aiken at Ci roon wood, at
tho Senatorial campaign meeting,
which Was published in tito Green
wood Daily Journal, my record in
Congress was misrepresented. This
report contains several false state
ments as to my record in Congress,
and notwithstanding thc fact that
these have been repeatedly called to
Mr. Aiken's attention, his friends are
continuing to have this report pub
lished in certain newspapers of tho
Third District without any correc
tion. This ?ielion on their part shows
the kind of campaign that is bein);
waged against me by Mr. Aiken and
Iiis friends.
He says that I voted against tho
espionage, or spy. act. The Kecord
shows, (page 18 11 of tho permanent
Kecord, 18.S2 temporary Record,)
that tho bill passed tho House by a
vote of 2.">i> to 107, and that Do ul
nlck VOTED FOR THK PASSAGE
OF TIIIO RILL, and NOT AGAINST
IT, as charged hy Aiken. There
were three other votes on this bill,
all of which related to the section
providing for a press censorship. I
voted against press censorship.
He says that I voted against the
Act exempting divinity students
from compulsory military service.
The Record of April 25th, 10 18. page
007 1, shows that I voted FOR this
exemption, and NOT AGAINST IT, as
charged by Aiken.
Ile says that I voted against the
soldier (volunteers) vote to give the
States credit for volunteers. The
Record of April 12th, 1918, page
5439, shows that I voted FOR tins
provision and NOT AGAINST IT, as i
charged hy Aiken. The Record of
May Otb, 1018, page 0780, further
shows that 1 voted that the House
should insist on this provision re
maining in tho bill.
Ile says th;11 I voted against the
determination ol' the '"'resident not
to send Roosevelt to France. I Dil)
NOT vote to send Roosevelt lo
France. 1 voted to authorize tho
Presiden! io raise and maintain, hy
voluntary e'llistment, not to exceed
lour infantry divisions, t'...'. olfkers ol'
which were to he selected as prov id
ed by Section 1 of tho Draft Act. no
one being allowed to enlist who was
under twenty-live years ol' age. This
became a part of the Draft Act. and
tho Act was approved by the Presi
den t.
Ile says that I voted against tho
Compton (?) resolution of inquiry
as to the manufacture of intoxicat
ing liquors. I presume he means two
resolutions introduced by Craniton.
a Republican from Michigan, whose
resolutions were in my judgment for
the sole purpose ol' trying to embar
rass the administration in the execu
tion of the laws through the Fuel
Administration, tho War Trade
Hoard, Railroad Administration, and
the War Industries Board. I voted
against these resolutions.
Ile says that I voted against my
party on the vote to purge from the
Record the speech of Hetlin, ol' Ala
bama. So far as I can recall, there
has been no vote in the House to ex
pongo a speech of Mr. neilin from
the Record. I suppose he refers to
the vote to expunge a paragraph
from Mr. Heflin's speech, in which
ho referred to two members of Con
gress-Mason and Britten-in an
unparliamentary manner, in which
he used their names in connection
with "traitors" and "treason," and
charged them with stirring up en
mity to the draft law, with no proof
to support the charges. I voted to
expunge this paragraph from the
Record, and it was oxpunged. The
balance of the speech is in the Rec
ord to-day, and no attempt has ever
been made to expunge it, so far as I
know.
He says that I did not vote on the
resolution making Guan? and the
Hawaiian Islands dry. By reference
to tho Record of May 18th, 1918, it
will be seen that the Island of Guam
was made dry by an order of the Sec
retary of the Navy. 1 did not vote on
the Hawaiian bill for the simple rea
son that I was not in Washington at
the time, hoing in attendance on the
State Convention. I obtained one
week's leave of absence, which week
was tho only ono during the time 1
havo boen In Congress that I have
been away from Its sessions, with the
single exception of a few days, when
I was called home by illnoss in my
family.
Mr. Aiken's friend, George P. Hill,
of Newberry, says, in an article pub
lished in the Columbia Stato and
some of the newspapers of tho dis
trict, that I voted against tho sol
diers' credit bill, which protects our
soldiers from tho greed of morciless
creditors. The Record of October
Uh, 19 17. shows that this bill passed
the Hou3? without a dissenting vote.
I VOTED FOR THE BILL.
Mr. Aiken attempts to belittle my
successful light against the exemp
tion of tho banks from taxation, by
which tho taxpayers of South Caro
lina were saved at least $500,000.00
in taxes for this year and the suc
ceeding years. This was a groat vic
tory for your Congressman, and I re
ceived tho personal congratulations
of the Speaker, Hon, Champ Clark,
the Democratic floor leader, Hon.
Claude Kitchin, and many others of
the leading mombors of Congress on
my successful light.. (Signed):
