Elsewhere in this paper will be j Q .'.ound Editor Aull's replV to an edi-i i i- torial in the Press and Banner anent his claim that Mr. Dominick will j s carrv everv countv in the Third Dis- 1 - ' trict, except Abbeville. y, Not having had the training in I;journalism that the veteran editor of j S'./The Herald and News may justly e i claim, this editor may have un11 thoughtedly verged on personality I in reviewing Col. Aull's omniibus - i claim for Mr. Dominick. In so far - | as we may have done this, we gladly - j withdraw anything that may have been ; | considered personal; and return to the ! - facts. I 1 It might be well in the beginning to1 i i >. enlighten CM. Aull as to the fiction 1 y That I am Mr. Aiken's private sec-re- j = tary. mere is no such position as pri- ( 1 vate secretary to a congressman. Sen- i ators have their secretaries, who are t a regularly on the government pay roll, '? tut the congressman pays for clerical ' > i "help, pays to one or a dczen if he sees * fit and pays it when or where he \ i I ' ! pleases. At one time Mr. Finley bad e two lady clerks, one at home and one i ": in Washington dividing his clerical . " hire between them. The great bulk: ^ | of the clerical work through the de-1 * partment can be done at home. The j t; cne essential thing is that the con-1 s gressman should not'pocket any o: the i l~ flirtH Viimcplf o ri r) i-r< fhio ~MT . --v* * A ill KS A.? J uitu XII tuio l CO]J^V/l +MJL1 | * Aiken's record is absolutely clean. | Lt Perhaps the position that Mr. Domi0; nick holds as clerk in the attorney j general's office is of more importance < and may have a name and a place a on tiie 5tat.es pay roll. We assume,; y however, that Editor Aull, who would i i 11 take us to task, sees no objection to! e both the attorney general. Mr. Peeples,' > and his clerk, Mr. Dominick, taking a 0 couple of months outing in the pleas- j e ant game of job hunting, while tneir ! salaries go serenely on. This is an j o jiioiguujwa.uL mated, nut wurmy tu | ; notice, except to illustrate to Colonel t o Aull the smallness of his similar refn ; erence to ourselves. e i Col. Aull asks if Mr. Aiken owns - ! tie third district. So, Mr. Aiken nor ! J-' his private secretary does not own the ! - tuird district, but the third district j y does own Mr. Aiken and it has had' e.-ironi him clean, prompt, faithful ser-j i vice, receiving all of his time and the j e ! closest possible attention. Not a man j y in tie third district, 110 matter what! J a ; his station in life, who has had oc-. q casion to ask Mr. Aiken's aid will j v ' g'liincav tliic ctatomont e It might be well enough in this conr nection to remind Editor Aull that he e j can not mortgage the third district to | e Mr. Dominick, by staking it off in his j ! | e; "40 acre and a mule" style in the j ^ columns o:' his paper. Political booms, \ 0 like charity, should begin at home and j we submit that there is nothing in the | I record for 12 years, and even up to the I present, to indicate that Mr. Dominick, f i airfpd all thp whilA hv the* orHfrvr nf i The Herald and News, will carry New- j s | berry county. In fact, reading the | ^: future by the past, there is every in- \ i J dication that he will not carry New- | 1 berry. ? i a I As to the other counties of the ids- ' z trict. Colonel Aull has one of two I - sources oi information: Tlis favorite s j 'J statements or his ?,'vn r window j 0 canvass. Col. Aull h:>.s had too much ; 1 political experience 10 rely on either i . I . I . '. . .71 ca'.v taken him I. <- -rioasiy. Alt r ail i.e was perhaps j i.-t boosting lit" j candidate. j it Kditor Aull doubtless btdieves that v Mr. Dominiik will be elected. He V wants to believe that way. and faith usually follows pretty close in the S wake of inclination or self-interest, u The Good Book defines faith to he I w "the substance of things ;.oped :or, ! ;i the evidence of things not seen." Then ii Colonel Aull must be - a .veritable j .J Abraham as concerns Mr. Dominick's i chances, for "he is evidently consumed 1( with hope and we believe he has seen s but little on which to base it. ,s We would not intimate that he isi.s: expecting any favors from Mr. Domi-,]( nick in trying to land him in con- i gress. We credit him with unselfish jjj friendship, cemented by the ups and downs of 15 years. Of course Col. j c Aull is not looking for any job for j e himself or for any of his people in case j#]( he can land Mr. Dominick, but if he i were, it would be very easy to see how i his faith would ripen into hope ami T l il* * j IiOJ)t? HOIHU i lJH-il JillU 1.11 UiUllt la j his forecasts. j ? Come to think o' it, however, both I r. I-Mitor Aull and t is editor are wastin.sr a lot o printer's ink carrying j c cmties and districts for our respcc- j j. tlve favorites, in advance 01 the pri- j t. mary. We recall now t at claims' very much like Editor Anil's modest j little omnibus claim for Mr. Domi-j nick have ushered in early every can-' didate who has opposed Mr. Aiken i since the beginning of his service.! ' They do no particular harm, and it j 11 always helps the candidate up. If Col. i1 Aull Avill pardon a reference to two1," veteran politicians in Abbeville county we will illustrate with a little story. There were two old Confederate vets in the county who were commonly called by the Christian names of Pete ^ and Bill. Like some of the rest of us, = they were early on the Tillman tide, 1 and they landed together as two of the three county commissioners. After senving one term, they launched again for bigger things, Pete running for sheriff and Bill for superintendent oi education. After a canvass o: the county Bill became very much discour- 1 aged and told Pete he thought he * would abandon the race. Pete renlipri "Whv. Bill, von are eoins: to carry Due West, Lowndesville, McCor- c mick, Abbeville,?every box, except L perhaps your opponent's borne; box.'* i Bill broke into a smile and said. "Pete say that again; I know it's ail a darn- j ed joke, but it does sound so good." j d The plain facts of history compel us j t to admit hat as much as Bill ap- j z preciated the kindly intent of his friend, he knew better. And mow. Editor Aull, taking the ? lesson to heart that you have so grace- c fnllv snvpn 11c fnr ranriidlv wp have a great respect for your experience and your -aibility as an editor, we have sought to avoid even the semblance s of personalities in this reply. We ap- * preciate your kindly offer in the clos- c ing paragraph of your editorial and assure you that we will not he found to be less courteous, when similarly < situated. I WILSON WITHDRAWS JONES' NOMINATION 1 President Ends Lone: and Bitter Con- i test Over Federal Reserve Board. ] Expresses Sorrow. ( Washington, July 2J3.?President Wilson late today ended the bitterest i fight of his administration by "with- ] drawing the nomination o: Thomas D. 1 Jones, of Chicago, to be a member of c the federal reserve board. Mr. Jones had written urging this action. The message cf withdrawal reached i the senate just as Senator Reed of 1 Missouri, one of the Democrats op- ? posing confirmation of the appoint- ment, was concluding a vigorous denunciation of the International Harvester company, of which Mr. Joijes i is director, and those responsible for ( its existence and operations. It ere- 2 ated a mild sensation and cut short j a debate that promised to run indefinitely. With the brief message the presi- c dent sent copies of Mr. Jones' let- t ter and his repliy. Opposition to the I nominee had been based on his connection with the Harvester company, which is under indictment as a trust j The senate banking committee hat! j ^ submitted a majority report adverse j c to confirmation, signed by all the Re- L publican and two Democratic mem- j bers. Mr. Jones wrote that this reoort was based on "a distortion of! A s facts and perversion of the truth." Stands for Warburg. At the White House it was said the president's action today did not ^ indicate that there had been change ? in his determination to insist upon > the confirmation o: Paul }T. War- I burg, whose nomination to the rc-! S! rve b ard als is being opposed.
