ACLL, EDITOR, ; a: TiiPsAflv 7uiv sn iQis. a * ' n ? : % THE DIFFERENCE. : tc | The different between The Herald ^ and 'News and the Record is that The c Herald and News is a real newspaper ^ and does not belong to anybody when a it comes to expressing its own opin- d ions, and that it does not swing ta s - - ^ is anybody's coattaiis, and says wnat u pleases, always trying to please to 0 "be honest an*? truthful, and its ed- ^ itor votes as be pleases, and does not a have to ask the advice of any one as ^ to how he shall vote, and if he did ho n would go on and vote as he please! a anyway. In other words, we try to h? a real newspaner. and in express- n our opinion of "rr?n and measures n we try to treat evervone with fair- ; T?ess. and we also trv to see th? ] ( virtue in those who happen not to jr ao-ree with its. and to eive th^m the right of oninion and the credit far " i honestv of opinion, and do not ones- Sl o] tion their motives if their opinion3 do not hapnen to coincide with ours. That's the difference. i 01 fc Another difference is that we do not ^ Tenuire that a candidate shall agree with us on every proposition in or- ^ tfer to gret our vote. If wp did we would neVfer cast a vote.

We try 'not > be narrow and without vision. We feel sorry for the newspaper without vision or breadth, and tha* an only see one side of a question ecause it is a pity to have any onr ttempting to edit a paper in this ay who can see only one side of a hield, and because the side he views ; red insists that the shield is red n both sides, when the other may be rhite. Vision and breadth and sou; nd heart and wide patriotism is rhat "we need in this day, and not arrow prejudice and factionalism nd all the little things that one can nagine. If you are to edit a real ewspaper and not an organ you iust have vision and breadth. The Herald and News tries to be newspaper, publishing the news in sgard to men and measures, and givig the people the facts, and crlticizio\ where it deems criticism neeesiry, never questioning the motives f those who may not agree with us. nd giving them credit for honesty P purpose and opinion as we claim >r oursefT We are an independent emocratic newspaper not tied up ith any faction of the party. We re not going to now and never exact to vote any factional ticket irough and through unless it suits s so to do. Now there "was nothing in the edi>rial which we wrote about the Alanine thnv* tn cause the editor of the ecord to jump to the conclusion lat we had "balked," because we lid nothing to justify any such confusion. This is just a sample of he-unfair some newspapers can be. when lev are dealing with some one they ay not want to see elected.

Believing that, though I may not endorse ail that he says, there is no , reaer-n fT me to "balk'* in whatever support J may give him-in this cam- ! paign. } would think, that justice to me and to Mr iBIease would dictate to you the propriety of publishing what I , say in reply and this letter, because there may be People who will read ' your editorial who will be misled . by it as to my position, and ever. ! though what I may say or think may s have littl e weight, yet. I do not L care to !be placed in a false light on | J any question. In a rather long cal reer as editor of The Herald and > News I try always to say frankly and ' openly what. I may think about niei: i and measures, and to be fair to friend ' and foe alike, and to remember that 1 the tr^e gentleman is always cou.rte-1 i ous and polite. i 1 If the people of South Carolina de? : sire to defeat Mr. Blease for the T'nited tSates senate let them do it. but let > us not trv to brin? about his defeatby misrepresnaion. villification and abuse. He has been recoemzed by the party as one of the candidates in the Democratic primary for this hi^h office, and the purpose of the Drimary is to give the people the right to select the man. and let t.hem do the job. As I see it the newspapers have been very unfair and very unjust in their criticism of Mr. Blease. and I believe that the fair spirit which exists in the average man will, resent this unfair treatment. The manner in -which von and some of the other papers of the State take up every little incident that you seem to think may -he twisted to the detriment of "Rlease you must be afraid to tr'ist the people, and certainly deep down in your heart yon must ihelieve that he is coing to get a majority of tho vo*ec i thp Augnst nrimarv. Kindly print this letter and the editorial from The Herald and 'News as a matter of simple justice to me and Mr. Blease. Voi?t? vOT*v f^ E. H. Aull.
