Chairman, atore and amentow Toyars agohaen ppearned the onyithosofrepresentadwerycutivtes ndi tate senate. eIls ohate year vice in the house of representatives, and am now serving my fourteenth year on the State Democratic execu tive committee. In the race for gov ernor two years ago I received a ma jority of the votes in the town of New berry and in the county of Newberry, and in the surrounding counties of Laurens, Saluda and Union, and in that section of Lexington adjacent to my home county. Where the people know me best I received my largest vote, and of that I am proud. As to my success in my profession, the rec ords in the office of the clerk of the court at Newberry will show that my name appears as attorney in nearly all of the important criminal and civil cases of the county. I have served the State as speaker pro tem. of the house, and as presidential elector twice, and as a member of the State board of canvassers for four years, and I beg to refer you to those with whom I have served as to the manner in which I filled these positions and discharg ed the duties thereof. We are told today that conditions in South Carolina demand a sound and economical, but not penurious busi ness administration, and it is true. The financial questian is the greatest issue which confronts our people. And who was it that first called attention to our, financial condition? Blease did it on the floor of the senate, and worked for a more economical govern ment, and begged the senator4 to re duce appropriatiois, iot to create u~9e' less offices and to stop burdening the people with taxation. In 1906 and 1908 I went on the stump all over this State and begged the people to pay more attention to their financial af fairs, and did all in my power to make the financial condition of our State the principal issue in both those cam paigns. But the politicians and cer tain newspapers wanted to keep con cealed the true conditions, so they hollered "liquor, liquor," and hid the facts, as far as possible, from the vot ers. Now, since they can not keep these conditions hid any longer, some of them are yelling, "Let liquor alone, and let's have a business campaign." All right, that is wnat I have been begging for, for years. and I am glad Ito see that the people have at last waked up to find that I was right, and that they are now demanding what I 'have been trying to get for years-a Candidate for Governor. more economical form of government. Two years ago I exposed the immi gration law so completely that the legislature was forced to repeal the act and abolish the immigration bu reau. Had it not been for my fight that abomination would still be with us. I fought for the inspection of our mills as to health and as to working children under the pr-onibited age and not within the legal hours, and the' legislature has made provision for this. I fought for night schools for chil dren who could not attend the day schools, and succeeded in getting a law passed upon that subject. I fought the effort which was made to keep thousands of our white peo ple from voting in the primary, and in the State convention I succeeded in getting the committee to report un favorably upon the resolution, and on the floor of the convention I again fought it, and the convention refused to pass the resolution, and all white men in South Carolina are yet free. M: plntform zoriay is as follows: citizens alike. 2. Enforcing all laws upon all sub jects, and obedience to the constitu tion of the United States and of South Carolina. 3. Trial by jury for all persons ac cused of crime, and enforcing the judgment of courts founded upon the verdicts of the juries. 4. Keeping forever separate the leg islative, judicial and executive de partments of the government, each, however, doing its duty and endeav oring to uphold and support the other. Upon this I resepctfully present the following issues for the consideration of my fellow-Democrats to whom 1 address myself: (a) I am in favor of biennial ses sions of the general assembly. (b) I am in favor of liberal appro priations -for our Confederate veter ans. (c) I am in favor of liberal Iut not extravagant appropriations for our State institutions of learning, so that all of them may be kept upon a high standard. (d) I am in favor of building up the free-school system so that every white child in South Carolina may be given a good, common school education in comfortable and convenient school houses, and in paying teachers suf ficient salaries to secure the best. I am absolutely opposed to compulsory education, as my record In both the huse ind the senate in the past will show. F. H. HYATT, Can JOll N G. RICH ABD "In my opinion, compulsory educa tion at the hands of the State means disrupting the home, for it dethrones the authority of the parents and places the paid agents of the State in control of the children, and destroys family government. Those agents stand between the child and the par ent. They represent the State. They are not responsible to the parents. They impress upon the minds of the children the views of the State, and virtually say, "We have taken you out of bondage and made you free, we are giving you what your unnatural par ents would not give you-and no child on earth can be subject to such In fluences and teachings and escape Im bibing the spirit of rebellion against parental authority, and consequent disrespect and ingratitude. Children are too easily infected with the idea that their parents owe them every thing, while they owe them nothing in return, and with the design and law of God set at defiance, who can compass, by the widest stretches of the most gi gantic mind, the condition that will follow? We desire to see the standard of education raised In South Carolina; we want every boy and girl In the State to have every possible opportu nity to gain for themselves the very best and highest degree of equipment for life, but we do not want it at the cost of parental authority and the peace of the home. Family govern ment and parental responsibilty ante date all others, and it is possible for wild, extravagant and madly enthus iastic men, who see theory and theory ildate for Governor.
