to do to represent the people who had Bent me there. Proud of tlie Rceord. (There has been only one ether matter that 'has been brought up in so lar as my record is concerned. One of the candidates has his "hireling" going around throughout the district and Tvhat lies he has told I have been unable to find out yet, but I have found out seme?one of the statements he is making is that while I was a member of the legislature, I was called before tie bar of the house ana reprimanaeu lie stating that I had made certain misrepresentations to certain members of the house and the senate. One of my opponents has read from the journal of 1902. However, he failed to follow the question up and failed to read the record of 1903. If he had <?one. that, he would have found that those men who signed statements in 1902 claiming that Fred Dominick rnad made misrepresentations to them, when it came to an investigation, and an investigation was held at Fred Dominick's request, and when they were under oath they went back on the statements they had signed in 1902, and the report of the investigation committee in 1903, while it did not come out and call them liars, did say, in effect, tfaat they were liars, and found as follows: "We ."find that tlcpi esentative Dominick did not mislead intentionally any member of the conference or free conference committee.1' I was entirely exonerated by this committee an<3 the records will show it. j I simply mention this at this time, my friends, to sTnow you thai - ??- ?i ? j: 1 A in a puone career eAieuumg years, both as a legislator, as a count} officer, as city officer and as a Statt officer, as your assistant attorney genera\ that this is the only matter thai tas been brought up against my political or personal record or career. This is a record that I am proud of anc justly proud. Fair and Honest Fight. Now, I am a candidate for congress; I am going to fight fair, square anc honest and in the open, as I have always done. I propose to discuss some people's record and in no uncertain terms and when I am discussing those records, I am going to speak from lie records and have nothing whatsoever personal to say about the parties who have made this record. Mr. Aiken's "Obitnary." Mr. Evans and Mr. Horton have no political record. Mr. Aiken is supposed to have one as he has been in congress for 12 years, but upon investigation it wi1} be found that he has a very small record. In discussing Mr Aiken-and 'bis. recoid. it migut be well first to use his own words ii "What is known as his "obituary' wmch is published in thu Congrcs eional Record. He says in that, whici 5ie claims to have written with hi; own hand, that he is a Democrat, wai bom 51 years ago in Abbeville count: and was reared on a farm in AbbevilL county. That he received a commo] school education at Cokesbury and a "Washington while there with his 'fath er, Hon. D. 'Wyatt Aiken, representa tive from this district for 10 years was official court stenographer i: South Carolina for 19 years; nas Dee: a farmer all his life and has alway taken a keen interest in everythin; pertaining to agriculture. Now tha is what Mr. Wyatt Aiken says abou himself. They are not my words bu his. How in the name of comon sens can a man have the nerve and audac ity to say that he has been a "farme ail his life'' when he admits in th< same breatih that 'he has been holdin; office for a period of 31 years, eve since his 20th birthday' Over $100,000 from Public Treasury It is all right for a man to hol< office?it is all right for a mail to b< kept in office provided he delivers th< goods, but what do we :ind abou Mr. Aiken? During his 12 years ii congress he has and will receive ; salary of $80,000.0,0; he will have re ceived in mileage $2,640.00, making j total of $S2,640.00. He was officia court stenographer for 19 years am received as a salary in addition to hi 'fees for transcripts, $1,200.00 per an cum, which amounts to $22,SOO.OO, mak ing a total of $105,440.00 that Mi Wyatt Aiken has received from th jpeaerai ireasury ana tut; oicue uc? ury in the past 31 years, and that, in; fellow citizens, is Dot including th amount he received as an officer i] the Spanish-American IWar in 189$ This, if you "will figure up, "will shci that he 'has been drawing since 'he wa a 20 year old boy an average of S3, 400.00 per year, and yet Mr. Aike says ;iI have been a farmer all r.i ilie. .\o^v, wnat is ine rerora mere Has he rendered any adequate ser vice for the onormo1 s irnounts he ha recei" :1? Mr. Aiken >?>f Feel ('omptent t SerTe." Mr. Aiken h ts teen ii ?ongress fo ! 12 years; he has been on the district j 01 Columbia committee :\r eight years. , \YUen t. e Democrats came into power, I .Mr. Aiken was the ranking member ' j on that committee and was in line for 'the chairmanship. Did he recieve it? ! Listen at the record. Mr. Aiken tells you that the reason he was not elected as chairman of that committee was on accvunt of the fact that he stood out ol the way of 'ais friend, Ben John ' j son, who was a canuiuate tor governor ' j of Kentucky, and he thought that by I standing out of his way that it might help him in his race, but what do some ethers say about t^is chairmanship? ; If tue good people of the third congressional district will recall, two years ago there was held in the city II of Baltimore a National convention of 1 all of the Democrats of these United States of America. At that conven tion there was a man big in stature, big in mentality and big in intellectuality?that man was the Hon. Ollie 1 James, who was then a member in the house from Kentucky and who has since been elected and is now United States senator from the State of Kentucky; Tvlr. Ollie James was elected to and presided over the convention which nominated and made possible the triumph and result that hap pened after the Baltimore convention and resulted in the election of Woodrow Wilson as president of the United States. In 'his candidacy "for the chairmanship of that convention he nnno ntfrpr that Wdlliam uvuv vv-w .. _ ' Jennings Bryan, a man who has al' most been idolized by the Democracy and is now President Wilson's right ? hand man as secretary of State. What t does Mr. James say about Mr. Aiken? ' In a clipping from the Columbia State r on the morning of the 17t& day of May, < 1913, Mr. James says: "It was com monly understood in the ways and t means committee that Mr. Aiken did - not seek the chairmanship because 'he > had not been a regular attendant on ! rv?o />nmmitfpA at hearings, was not I familiar with the work and did not | feel competent to serve." That is what Mr. James says about Mr. Aiken and Mr. Aiken himself says that he 1 was appointed on that committee; never did like the work; does not 5 like it today and will be glad to be L relieved of service on that committee. t Will Be Relieved After March 4. I do not think there is any doubt of the fact that alter the 4th of next March he will be relieved from service on that committee ard his place will be taken on that committee or some ^ '? -3 7~V/\vvt{rt? A!T otner commiuee uy r reu jL/v.miu.n;iv. i Only "Little and Creepy Things.* What else has Mr. Aiken done in Washington? He stated at one of the f ' meetings that the only things I could see in 'his record were through a cat \ eye, f.nd the only thing I cculd see through thai cat eye were "little things and small things and creepy 1 things." When I look at his record, he is correct on that proposition, exs cept in one particular and that is I ' | haven't a cat eye. With my "specks" I 'ha/ve four eyes and I have looked 1 i into the record mighty closely and C; seeing as well as I do, I thoroughly ~ | agree with him on the proposition that " I only "little 'hings and small things ' ~nd creepy things" can be seen be1 cause that is all that there is in his a !record. s g >o let of General Interest ^ | Since he has been in congress he t! has introduced 313 bills?64 of these i hiii-s have hp^n amiroved and become e | laws; 249 of them have failed. Practically all of those vhich have heen r approved have heen private pension e bills or bills providing for dams =? across the Savannah Ri'ver, which r ! were recommended by United States ; engineers, and practically among all f r>f his bills not a sinsle bill of Dublic ^ | importance has been introduced, suge i gested or passed by Mr. Aiken. t Missed Half the Votes. i Out of a total of 999 yea and nay i; votes, he has been recorded as not - j voting 253 times. He was paired 207 a. i times, showing that he was absent and 11 and paired 460 times out of a total of 11999 votes, or missed voting at least s one-half of his time. TlJ.l X t\i li In it Sn-f Hie Aivn TftWIl. l'ill VIJUU^ 1VI Julio * * JLi JL v IIM? What else did Mr. Aiken do? He e was elected from the third congressional district to the house; he is from y Abbeville county; he is Ifrom the town e of Abbeville, yet he served in conQ | gress six years as a congressman 5 I from this district and did nothing foi v his own town. You all know that ups on the death of the late lamented Hon. A. C. Latimer your former congressn man, who was afterwards promoted tc v the United States senate, that the *o Hon. Frank B. Gary, now the honored inflow r\f this rirrnit was plortPri ic NI out his unexpired term. FraJih Gary served as United States s^n^t.i . for about eight months and during hi; ? t'.rm of service he built as -ajnonyi ment to himself in the city of Abfye.r ville a $50,000.00 pcstoffiee, a mon? [ merit t-.at Wyatt Aken was not able 10 ' j obtain during iis six years oi' service j and was not only not able t j obtain j this beautiful building but suggested, ! io the Hon. Frank B. Gary at tne time ; i that it was useless to try to get the i | matter through on account 01 the fact j j that it could not go through. Yet Mr. j j Aiken is a great man. : His Kural Credits Bill an Abortion, i j He says he has been a 'farmer all j [ HIS 1110 <111(1 iliiS aittava uarvcn a nccu | I , . . .

He started out at Xewtberry by telling about his rural credits bill and with a great to-do told about what a great bill it was and said he had twenty thousand of them printed and was distributing them tnrougnout me aisu'ici. i lviu uuu i when he sat down that I regretted j that''he had not had ten thousand more of them printed because I wanted the people or' the third congressional dis! trict to read his bill and see the fallacy of it. I am satisfied that tae most of: you have received this. A good many of you have thrown it in ! the waste basket or misplaced it, but | if you still have it at home J hope j : you will look it up again and read it and | if my criticism of this bill is net cor' rect, why you vote for Wyatt Aiken j and vote against me. If my criticisms are correct, vote for me and vote against him. You will 'find that you got this bill in an envelope which goes through the mails without any stamp on it. He says >he sent out twenty thousand of them. Now, my friends, if I send out twenty thousand letters it would cost me $400.00 in postage alone, so that shows you some little advantage a congressman has. 11 am glad, however, he has sent these 1 ^..4. ? > J Z-G n ntr nnnl/1 ri rvf llQVA i UUl. iiuu 11 tut/ uv? ~ wv | sent free through the mails and I bad been able to do so I would -have been j glad to advance the money to pay the | postage, lor I.would be glad for every ! voter of tae third congressional dis! trict to see this great bill that this great mind has evolved. He tells you that the United Slates government has spent thousands of dollars in investigating rural credits.

Here is the proposition as set out in his bill. If four of you (farmers wanted to borrow $2,500.00 a piece, you go to some National bank, tell the president of that bank that you wanted to borrow that amount and that you 'have fnnr five, six or seven 'hundred acres of land to mortgage to secure the loan. He takes your application and sends | his lawyer down to look over the i titles. If you owe as much as $100.00 | or any amount on that land, your j "cake is all dough" and you can't borj row a cent of money on that land, j However, if the record is clear, then j the banker tells you that we will go ! up here to the county paper ana aa| vertise to tie people o: the coanty thai j you are applying for a $2,500.00 loan | on a certain piece of property to secure that loan. This has to be done once a week for three weeks and in case no8x>dy ccmes up and claims this land then they take your mortgage.

Now, isn't | that a beautiful bill? Now, in Mr. j Aiken's 3\vn words, it is nothing but | "flap doodles and poppy cccks." | Ashamed of His Own Bill i Mr. Aiken at Anderson got ashamed | of his own bill and called on me to 1 write a bill better than the one he had j introduced. I told him t'hat I would I write a better one but would not give | it to him to introduce but would in1 troduce it myself after the 4th day of next March. Vote Against President Wilson i j Mr. Aiken started of! at Newberry and devoted most of his time ' to a praise of his own record and to an explanation of his vote against President W .ison on the exemption from tolls of the Ameri> can coastwise vessels. I shall not at :: this time enter into a discussion of i j this matter or the merits of the ques!, tion because to a certain extent it is ,n yv?otfftn rhnt hfpn cr>rrlf>(] "\Ir ;i Wilson, the president of these United i.j States, went to tho American con"J jgrv.-s and stated that this was a qaes: j tion that involved a great deal in so |far as this country was concerned; that it was a delicate question and' I..a: he ::ad reasons of his own which i i he couid nut and would not divulge ! to ..is party associates, but asked that i they have confidence in him and grant j him irr an "ungrudging manner" the j request that he was making of them in asking for a repeal of the free tulls ' which had hertofore been granted, i Mr. Aiken voted against tJe president i til tills measure, i uou i go as iar iis> ; some people and say because he voted ! tv.at way that he is a Republican, but < 1 want to remind you o;' one thing, i my fellow citizens,?in May of this : year there were held in every county i in the State of South Carolina county ; conventions of the Democracy of ] South Carolina. In four of the six counties in the third congressional i district, these conventions went on recoFd as approving the policy d: the ] president on the canal tolls matter , and called on our representatives in , congress to support the president. : Further than that, cur State convention was held in May, 1914, and went i i on record by resolution as approving;. the policy of the president and call- ? ed on our representatives in oongress and the senate to vote with the presi- , dent. Further than that, Senator . J Gore, the blind senator fr:ifr Oklaho- j ma, took a poll of the former members i of the National convention that met in! Baltimore in 1912 and more than seven-eighths of them in response to 'his request insisted that the president should 'be sus tained in his views. Now wnat do we find today-HMr. Aiken comes i before you and says that he voted against the president and tries to justify his vote by argument. He tells ; you that -be voted against him and not- ' withstanding the fact that your county 1 convention?notwithstanding the fact that your ;State convention?notwith1 J - ?.? Al.

If that is Democracy, I don't know what Democracy is. j The Third District Deserves the Best My, friends, the third congressional j district is one of the largest if not the largest, in South Carolina in point of territory, population, wealth and manufacturing. It is the home of e immortal Cal-houn; within its borders today lives the chief justice of the supreme court of South Carolina; within its borders reside three of the 13 circuit judges of Sout\i Carolina; j it is noted for its wealth, its agriculj ture, its intelligence and its manufacturing. I am just as much interested as any other good citizen off this ' district in seeing that we are properly j represenieu. wimm us uoi uci s <nc . j located 30 per cent, of the cotton | manufacturing establishments In j South Carolina, and South Carolina, as you know, is second only to Massachusetts in cotton manufacturing. \ Notwithstanding that supremacy in industry, in agriculture and art, what has your present congressman done to I help out your district except to draw I his salary? *Sick Cotton >1111 Industry." We have in the third congressional district and throughout South Caro una wnat me aany papers are nni-i ing editorials on, "The sick cotton mill industry of South Carolina," and why is this industry sick? In the Grasp of Monopoly. I was told only a few days ago by a i cotton mill president in Anderson that j with only one or two exceptions the i cotton mills in that county were not ' paying a dividend. You know the | condition in your county; you know j whether the stock is selling at par; | you know whether you are getting a dividend or not, and why is that the i condition? I have been making a j study of this for a number cf years and I have found out and come to the conclusion that the Southern cotton mill industry and the Southern cotton ; ?

There ; is at the same time paid to the sell; ing agents who handle the products at least four and one half millions of dollars or very close on to' one halt of the entire amount that is paid to the operatives in wages. Is that nol an alarming condition? These are the facts and if you don't believe what Fred Dominick says about this proposition, those of you who are minority stockholders, at the next meeting of | the stockholders of your mills, ask j them how much they have paid out in i ! c mmission to your selling agents in j | the north.

This Mr. Pollock branded as a wilful distortion of the official e record and in retaliation opened a 11 volley of invective that has scarcely s been equalled in foe campaign. i * Marl'boro county is the home of J. j .

In the main it was a duplica- r tion of charges made in practically c every one of the 32 counties visited t and are: t That Senator E. D.

I ' T.:e governor said that he did not j t consider is a promotion to be elected j v to the senate after being governor of South Carolina. He had held the highest office in the gilt of tihe people, he said. iAgain tcday the chief executive ? warned his Lollowers to stay at the ballot box August to watch the manager who calls out the names, and the one wUo registers the count, i lest he lose the nomination through J1 dishonesty. jc At the conclusion of his- speech, j? the governor received two boxes of! * flowers.

When discussing the pardon record of the governor, Mr. Jennings charg- [1 ed to at R. A.

Morse in the federal j1 prison in Atlanta. i iT.bis speaker drew much applause as 1 he held up the chief executive as "'the : pretended protector of the virginity ( or wc-men." In supporting this char- 1 acterization, he cited the seduction ; of the 14-year-old adopted daughter of Ricft-ey, the trial of Dr. Eleanora ( B Saunders and the Emerson case in ' Anderson county, where the father 1 was killed when trying to protect rnis t daughter. . J The mayor of Sumter said that it: i could nor be expected of the goveronr I to keep his party pledge as 'he had i violated it in numerous instances in r appointing P?Iease m<m to office when 1 the majority ^ote had been for an t anti-administration man.

"If he did it once, he'll do it again," Ir. Pollock shouted witf* emphasis, nd fhon qHHoH 4tfnr thp misprahlp ;opard never changes its spots." The speaker warmed to a flitch of loquence when he answered the chief xecutive as to the separate coach* ote. He had written the (bill, he aid. which was adopted practically rord for -word, after tfte bill providing nly separate apartments in the same oach had been voted down. "That man," he continued, "who slls a half truth and conceals the alance is worse than the man who ells a ifull lie." The governor, he in trip legislature for ears and years, and he 'dared tfee hief executive to point to a single eparate coach bill he had introduced r to an instance when .he had opened lis mouth to further the cause.
