YOLUXE LUL, S UMBER 7'2 JfEWBEBBY, 8. C? TUESDAY, AUGUST 8, 1916. TWICE A WEEK, $IM A YEAH. Candidates Fo Hold Meetii Good Attendance and Goo Prevail? Congressiora Held on Saturday afternoon was another of the many camraign ax * N^wh^rry has had since the hunting season opened? office hunting. The* candidates for congress for the third district ami the candidates for solicittor for the judicial circuit spoke in the court house Saturday afternoon, County Chairman Frank R. Hunter, presiding. There was almost a capacity house, nearly every seat being ' taken. -Several ladies graced me occasion with their presence: The audience was quiet and attentive and each candidate was given an impartial Ihearng. There was some general Jiand clapping at times, but nothing on the yelling and foot stamping order ^t any time during the meeting. All the candidates for congress were present except Mr. Aiken who is in Washington. Mr. Henry C. Tilman was the first speaker and devoted a goodly part 01 fcis time answering the argument of *'too much. Tillman" which some of his opponents had used against im. He said that when four Tillmans responded to their country's call in 1847 to go to Mexico where three o< them now sleep in foreign soil; and when the Civil war broke out; and in 1876 when nadical rule was overthrown; and in 1890 when the common people followed the lead of a Tillmar.. there was not in th.ose times a cry of k ""too much Tillman." & IMt. Tillman favored a rural credits system where a poor man could borW crow 75 per cent or 80 per cent of the true valuation of the land at a low rate of interest. He said this was not a wild cat theory because as t3ie payments were made the debt would be reduced and as the end of the pay^ raents approached the land would be V worth more than at the start. These payments ougnt to extend over a W period ot from 20 to 35 years which p *would give every deserving poor man an opportunity to own a home. He favored a preparedness program that would produce an efficient army and an adequate navy equal to that of L any other naval power in the* world. 1 He was opposed to a large standing army but favored the establishment of military training schools all over V the country where the youth of the land could receive iniltary training at W the same time that they were obtaining literary and industrial training. I This would give the country an immense reserve army which could be M called out and organized on short W notice. A. H. Dagnall spoke in compliment< ary terms of the Ladies present. Was running on his own merits and had 1 nothing- to say against nis opponent?. He thought historic family names should not be -considered but that ability and fitness should be the guiding choice of the people. He favored a refund by the federal government of the cotton tax exacted from the farmers of the south at the close of the vit of Secession and ?aid this would (provide a sum sufficient to give ail confederate veterans now living $.^00 and $30.00 per month the rest of their lives. He said this wouid forever set at rest the question of pensions for the old vets to Tvhom the south owes so much. I He would introduce a bill to prohibit the intermarriage of whites and negroes in Washington, opposed the distribution of seed by the government and called it a political scheme for gettinar votes. FTe favored strict economy in governmental expendi tures, favored preparedness by the inauguration of a well trained army and-navy and stressed the importance I of a merchant mirine in the interest I of American trade. TTe scored federal A courts and the power of federal judges ^pp.nd closed bv citinz his experience V ard -success at the Anderson bar. "Mr. Fred H. Dominic1* said he did r Congress ? ? ? nr ig In Newberry] d Speeches and Cood Wil' il Campaign Meeting ^ i Satunay. J i ol ask .his home people to vote for j him solely because he-was j. home ! man but to vote lor him it they ; thought him The best man in the race. He spoke of the long tenure in office ; of the Tillmans and Aikens and rej ferred to the other candidates whose j ancestors were war veterans. He said j the Dominick family also had a war j j record of which he could boast but J j that he was not running on the war j ! record of his ancestors. Mr. Dominic* , | charged that dirty politics was startled against him 2 years ago when the j speaking tour had closed thus affordj ing him no opportunity to answer the j charges on the stump. He read an ex| tract to show that the charges were i unfounded and that he had been ex honorated of any wrong doing. He spoke of his record in the At I torney General's ofilce as assistant . Attorney General and his success ia . handling te State's cases before the . j courts. He said that he was ia demo- j. j crat and as such he was in favor of i preparedness, rural credits, a restrict- , j ed immigration, etc. Mr. Dominick was handed an imI mense bouquet of hydnangeas at the , ! close of Tiis speech. I John A. Horton scored Domiaick i and the rest of the bunch for their 1 { criticism of him and of each other , j and said that if the criticise got , j much sharper the bark would slip j, j somewhere. He said he pleaded guilty j . j of being a bank president and also of j ' being successful and thought the gov- ! j ornment needed good business men. j. j He thougnt there were too many law- j, J yers in the state and national legisla- j ; tures. Mr. Horton said there were ! j only two classes ofl people in the j world, the class which produces the [ wealth of the world and the class j j J which lives upon the profits derived j | fromWhat we<h. He was in symI nathv with labor as he had been a la boring man himself. He spoke in ^ favor of labor unions and was oppos- ^ ed to a system of blacklisting as is , practiced by some mill corporations. ^ | Predicted that labor unions would } I sweep the south as they had already , i c one the New England states and the ( : iAnnor the hctf-or W-o thoiicrht imrni- ! I gration should be entirely cut out as j pauper labor from Europe would pour , into this country after the great ; European war and force American . | labor to the wall. This competition , i he said would give capital the ad- . j vantage of cheap labor and the laborI ing man would suffer. He favored j jsystem of rural credits at a low in- i i terest rate and said that 8 per cent on , ! . , . . , ; large land loans would rum any man. 5 As Mr. Aiken was not present this j completed the list of candidates for j congress. The candidates for soiici- , j tor were next introduced and spoke ! r | in the following order: ~ ! , Mr. T. Frank McCord reviewed 2;is i record as a lawyer for the past three years having graduated in law in 191%. , ( Ke thought the people wanted a. man . | of chamcter and afciHty for solicitor. . , Thought that as Newberry had once . i " i , been honored with a solicitor and as j, Laurens had also beer, thus honored that it was Greenwood's time and * ! i u:v;ed himself as the losrica' c-ana;date! > over one of nis opponents from ; ; Greenwood county. j Mr. B.
