voted just as I did. It appears that! when he got to examining the statement as to my record, as furnisueu him by Baker, he found so little to criticise that he decided to attack me on my vote on the canal tolls. It appears that .:e abandoned his own concictions in the hope of gaining votes if he could s:ow that I was not in sympathy with the president. The l"*e of Money. It is charged that I have spent a ; great deal of money in my campaign, that I have "degraded and corrupted! politics." This must be amusing to; most people, wao know the .acts. I ; nave never spent a great deal of i money, because I have not had it to spend. I 'have had the good fortune j to defeat several rich men, who spent! money lavishly, who had more money j than I could have raised if my life | i had depended on it. Since the cam- j r paign publicity law ;has been in er- i K feet I have filed at the close ot each ' campaign a sworn statement as to my , expenses, and if I have sworn false-I ly I am subject to prosecution in the courts and fine and imprisonment. But this charge is so absured that 1 can hardly give it serious consideration. j ' Little Tilings." It is charged that my work in ; congress has consisted of "little j things.'' Well life itself is made up of little things. I have always believed j that a man> who does little things well does a tolerably big thing. I j have tried to give close and prompt \ attention to the wants of the people ; of my district. The congressman who ; tries to attend to his duties faithfully: eats no idle bread. Mo man can j ? truthfully say t'cat the interests of the Third district have suffered since I have been in congress. On the contrary, it would be very easy to snow j that the Tiird district has fared, much better than many others. It is given to but few members of congress to get their names connect- j ed with national legislation. Take the j new tariff law, for instance. It is ; known as the Underwood law, and' rightly so. for Mr. Underwood, as J chairman of the Ways and Means' committee, introduced it in' the j house and skillfully handled it. And . yet every Democratic member of con- i gress had a hand in making that bill' and in its passage. It was considered by the Democratic caucus ana amena- | ea by Democratic votes on the floor of the house. The same thing is true of the new currency law, known as the Glass-Owen law. It was introduc- | ed in the house by Hon. Carter Glass. I chairman o: the committee on Bank- i ing and Currency, and nobody is jeal- j ous of him because it bears his name.' Yet fte will cheerfully bear testi-j mony that every Democratic member , of congress had a hand in its making | and in its enactment. The same thing | is true of the Smith cotton futures j bill, and the Lever bill for agricul-: tural extension work. They -were | ampndpd and rewritten many times j "before they finally became law. The same thing will be true of my bill to provide for long-time credits on farm lands at low interest. That bill may pass and it will be known as the Aiken law, if I remain in congress, but it will doubtless undergo many r amendments before it gets up to the ^resident for his signature. Tiiis is1 true of all legislation, for in almost every instance, legislation is the result of compromise. There are many men in congress, and they have many - 1 J minds, and taey are as a ruie gwu minds. When a bill gets through and becomes a law it is the work of the combined wisdom of the entire body. I cannot brag on myself, for selfI* praise is -half scandal, but I do be- ; ' lieve that my record in congress will 11 compare at least favorably with t'he k average, and I would like for some ' unbiased man to make the comparison some day. Sixty-six Bills. nick that I have secured the passage of only 66 bills since I have been in congress. I have not counted them, but if there were as many as 66 bills that is probably 50 per cent greater than any other member of congress "has to his credit during my service. During one congress I secured the passage of more bills than any oober W member of congress. Democrat or try. It is claimed that most of tfaese ff > were "small bills." That is probably 0:) true, and if it is true it proves that I bave been looking after the interests of the small fellows in my district " - . . . A a.*, _ ^-1 instead 01 trying to serve me uig ieilows, that while trying to do my full duty on matters of national importance I have always found time to at tend to the small matters which dijfe, ! rectly affect my people at home, no matter ho-w humble. What Dominick Did. L I had 'hoped to go through this campaign without making any direct Hy reference to Mr. Dominick, but since |F he has seen fit to help circulate false statements about me I will tell the truth about him. In 1902 Mr. Dominick was a member of the legislature from \ftwhftrrv oountv. There was a bill I pending to increase the salary of the sheriff of Orangeburg county. It had passed one 'house, and had passed the other house with an amendment, and had passed a conference committee and got into free conference. On the . last day of the session the desired 1 c:ange was incorporated in the genera! supply bill, and then the Orange- j burg delegation asked that the indiri- j dual bill be killed by having the tree conference report a disagreement. But in the rush of the closing hours Mr. Dominick, who was on the free con ference committee, wrote a report and i carried if to the other members of. the committee ana told themi he had arranged it to suit! the parties interested and they took ! his word for it and signed it without reading it. The bill was about to be put through and become a law, when Wm somebody discovered that Mr. Dominick 'had struck out all before and aftpr tbp pna/?tinp- -a-rvrds anri had writ I ten a new bill entirely, providing for the establishment of breweries or beer bottling concerns in certain r/ties. ! Mr. Dominick's report was rejected. ! and in all the history of South Caro-' ]ina no member of the legislature j ever revived sue., severe condemnation from his colleagues as Mr. Doniir.ick received on the floor of the house and senate. There are doubtless men living in every county in tae Third district today who were in ; the legislature at tv.at time, and who I will test: y as to the trutu of what j I say. It is interesting to add in this I connection that when Mr. Dominick < offered for re-election to the legislature t. e following year he was over- ( whelmingly repudiated by nis nome people, receiving only something like 400 votes in t'.ie entire county. And ! his home people tell me that in 'Ms i race for congress this year he will again be repudiated and that he will fail to carry his home county by many hundreds of votes. They have not forgotten how he I ma Ho tho r?nnntv nay him an out-rase- ! ~ . w I ous fee for doing work which it was , :Ms duty to do, while drawing a salary as clerk a: the board of county commissioners, without extra compensation. In Conclusion. I have tried to answer this slanderous attack fully, although I believe it has not cost me votes, because I 1 felt that I owed to my friends, who T ~ o. rx a 4-r-v v l'r> + r A noct nave ueen au n uc LU mc ui | to do so. If I have not answered any j essential charge it is because I have j overlooked it. I have been necessarily j busy here since the attack appeared j in the Newberry paper. I uaive linked Dominick's name with 1 Baker's in this matter, for I have j known for months that Baker has | been furnishing Dominck with am- i munition. Dominick probably realizes by now fiat t~e ammunition is faulty and won't shoot straight. Many people know of Baker's frequent trips to Anderson and other places in the 1 Third district, more than 500 miles from his post of duty, to confer with | Dominick. It is notorious taat Baker j (has been neglecting his work in order to go to South Carolina to engineer , a campaign against me; while I have i been here in Washington looking af- j ter the interests entrusted to my """" T' ?* T Viovo nrritton ohniif U Ci. I C. I L >"* -CIL 1 UU > " i uuvuv . Baker is not true he has a remedy. J I cordially invite him to sue me for ! libel. Congress 'has been in session al-j most continuously ior the past four ! years, and 1 have not been able to! canvass the district each year, as j had been my custom before, and as I ! wanted to do. We have been in ses- j sion continuously since April, 1913, and it looks today as if we will be in 1 session until the fourth of March, j when this congress expires by limi- j tation. I went to the Third district in the early part of August and made the campagin . tour as arranged by the executive committee, speaking at pj?r>h cnnrt house Durine that week the European war suddenly broke loose, and we found one morning that t'.ie South was :acing a great disaster : because of the threatened drop in the price of cotton caused by the closing j of toe European markets. I had j hoped to spend. the remainder of the time until the primary in the district, j visiting my friends, but the situation; became so serious by the close of the J campaign tour that I hurried here, and i have been 'here ever since. I .felt that: if the people of the district ever did need my service in Washington they needed tfoem in this crisis.. I wait tc get away from here next week, but do not know that I will be able to do so.j I will arrange to have this urticle I nrinted in as many of the newspa pers of the district as possible in their next issue, and will also have some copies printed in circular form. I will ask my friends to try to get this article generally circulated over the entire district at once.- I thank my friends in advance for this, as I thank them tor all their goodness to me in the nast. j And in conclusion. I want to say J that I have lived all my life in the j ' Third district, more than half a cen- j ( tury, and am now serving my sixth j term in congress. My life has been; ? an open book. I know the people of the district, and I believe they know me. If, after all these years, the people are willing to retire me on the slanderous charges, made at the eleventh hour of the campaign by a , proven scoundrel. I am ready to step down and out. I believe, though, that tee people of the Third district believe in decency and fair play, and 1 tbat on the 25th of August they will rebuke th3 methods used against me in no uncertain terms. Let me close thi1- article, which i3 already lengthy, wit> the lollowing words from Speaker Champ Clark: "Men should not be sent to congress simply to gratify tbeir own personal ambitions but because tfney can be of service. Having proved that they are of service, wisdom dictates that they 1 continue to be of service; and it may be confidently asserted that the ( value of the service o: a man of pacity, character and industry and 1 good habits increases in exact pro- 1 ? * - t avi rrfv* /vp f at?tnaa J pur LIU U LU UUj icugiu lyi. aci nvt. iunv j facts should furnish food for thought ^ to every constituency in t)he land.
