FRED DOMINICK ABLY DISCUSSES
NATIONAL ISSUES
Ed McCravy and Sam Sherard
Make Speeches?About 200
Voters Including Few Women
Hear Candidates
The congressional campaign for
the third district was launched at
? Newberry last Saturday. Some 200
voters, including several women,
heard the candidates present their
claims to the voters of Newberry.
There was no demonstration for any
one, but all gave the speakers fine
attention. All of them were given
also sonre appluase. According to
the Easley Progress there was a
large Pickens county delegation here,
or on the way to Newberry, to boost
for the Hon. Ed McCravy. "On to
Vpwhprrv" trip slogan thev came
with, so the Progress says, "rooting"
every step for Ed McCravy. We
trust they enjoyed their trip and we
will be glad for them to come again,
and may be some of these good fellows,
seeing a fine town, will come to
abide with us. So far as "rooting"
goes it might help to win a baseball

game, or c;eii real esiaxe, dui it aoes
not elect congressmen, and we are
" going to vote for Fred Dominick
down this way, but that does not
prevent us giving these good fellows
a right royal welcome into our
midst. There may have been some
Greenwood "rooters" here for the
Hon. Sam Sherard. we do not know,
but they too are welcome, we are
glad to have these good fellows and
are pleased to Save them see our
good roads anti our fine community.
County Chairman J. D. Wheeler
presided and made no speech, as was
proper in a presiding officer, but
simply presented the speakers -and
each was given thirty minutes. The
Rev. L. P. Boland offered prayer.
Mr. Dominick discussed in an able
manner some of the great issues before
the people of this country-\?t
this time, and his Remarks evidenced
an intelligent familiarity with these
national problems. The tariff, which
is now before congress, he designated
the greatest monstrosity that
had ever been presented to a con*
gress in the shape of, legislation. He
also gave his views on trie eaucauonai
bill and the agricultural bloc and the
bonus, and the reason for his vote,
and his.position on all these questions.
Mr. McC-ravy .talked about
being born in Newberry and the
great love he had for the Newberry
people and he wanted America for
> Americans and immigration restricted
and discussed the labor problem una
thought the present trouble was due
to a misunderstanding and he favored
compulsory arbitration, ?:nd in
an impassioned manner stated that
he wanted to go to congress to shake
hi? finger in the face of Mr. Dyer
and tell him what he thought of the

i/yer ^:n u? nuiv.ii *v
is proposed to have al! lynchers tried
in the federal courts. This bill has
already passed the congress and is
now in the senate. It might be proper
to state here that while it was
before the congress Mr. Domriick
wrote the minority report ag?\inst
the passage of the bill, and also
made a speech against it. the other
Democrats signinir the minority report
being Summers of Texas and
Montague of Virginia. Mr. Sherard
said he was sorry he was not
4
born in Newberry, but in the days
long ago he used to co?ne down here
twith his father. Yancey Sherird. and
help to "root" for base ball te?.ms.
and he was not unfamiliar or on entire
stranger in this county, and all
three of the candidates protested
great personal friendship the one for
the other and promised to have a
very lovefeaxt of a campaign and no
fSf personalities, ?nd that is the way to
go about it, ar.d let the people make
up their min 5s without the aid <>f
persona! abuse or "rooting" or hur||||
rahs. Well, that is what the people
A down this i^ide will do. vote for the
man bt*st fitted by training and experience
to do the job of representM*
ing this great and wealthy and in^
telligent district in the national
house of representatives. There are
| upwards of 250,000 people in thi
' district, making nearly one fourt
the population of the state, and w
i should select a man the ablest an
| best available to represent us in thi
I gre-.it legislative body, the America:
I congress.
i Mr, Dominick sa'.d some migh
. think it out of place for him to than!
j the women for their presence am
j to welcome them as voters because
| he voted against the amendment t<
! the federal constitution giving then
'the ballot. He was just old fash
loned enough to oelieve m state
rights, and he thought the matte
of suffrage was one thing whicl
should have been left to the state
to determine, and that in sevcra
states and for many years the worn
en h^d been permitted to vote befbn
this amendment was adopted. W<
are getting too far away from th<
fundamental principles upon whicl
the fathers founded our governmen
and tending too fast towrad a grca
centralized government. He coul<
never forget the effect of the 15tl
amendment which gave manhood suf
frage and was forced upon us b;
the congress, and the evils that fol
lowed, and while the two are not si
miliar in results he believed in main
taining the rights of the states t<
regulate their own affairs and no
have everything regulated fron
Washington.
He pnoposed to conduct a fair :n;
an honorable campaign and to dis
cufij the issues, and he did not appea
to the people of Newberry to voti
for him been use he v.:s a Xewberr;
man, but to cast their ballot for thi
man whom they felt best able to rep
resent the people of this great (lis
trict. He believed, however, that h
would get a much larger majority i:
his native county than he had eve
received in this county. He als<
felt that his majority in Greenwoo*
would be larger than it was tw<
yca-s ago and he felt the same \va;
aixvt the vote in Pickens and th'
other counties in the district. Tha
was the information he had fron
these counties. We were passing
through at this time the most mo
mentous period in the history of th<
world, and the congress was aimos
in continuous session and he na<
been on the job -2ll the time.
He first took up the discussion o
the tariff bill now before the coiti
grcr:>, and said while this was an ol<
subject at the present time it v'as ;
very vital one. Ho said the pi"Ven
bill was a monstrosity in*~the way o"
legislation, that it carried more thai
2,000 schedules and instead of help
mg me g^eat consuming cjass 1 z wa
in effect in the interest of the njan
uficturer. This government and in
dividuals had loaned to Europi
around twenty billion dollars and th
only way that Europe could pay i
wti3 by having the gold which it di<
net, by selling us its produce ;r\i
manufactured goods which this tar
iff virtuialy prohibits it from doins
or by the use of its ships and this i
could net do, and yet there wer
e,~ ~ ~ ? i i ?...u
IUI ouv.aucu JL\>;r
voted for the bill. About the onl;
effect it had was when the price o
wheat went down the price of flou
went up-and the consumer paid th
bill. This tariff measure Is in th
interest of the corpoartions and ma
nufacturers. The agricultural bio
had been of some benefit to the far
mer and there had been some Jeg;s
lation in the matter of finance tha
had been of great benefit to the fax
mer, but the farmer should not 3jo:
exclusively to legislation for relie

himself in the way of living at hom

to the Townes-Steriinjr educations
OUi oy wmcn u was propuseu iu u:
tablieh another cabinet officer and
department of education ana to giv
aid to the states for educs
tion. The bill was very plausible o
its face, but federal aid meant soor
er or later federal control, and fee
i
s oral control he thought would be dis-'
h astrous to our country and he.
c preferred that we should jro on con
d trolling: and directing the education
s of our children and having such text,
n books used as desired, and especially
in the matter of history.
t The bonus was then discussed and
K Mr. Dominick stated that he held the
j same views on this question that he
e did two years ago, and th.it he stated
j his reasons for that position in every
:1 county in the district, and the people
. had given their endorsement by giv3
ing him a majority vote in each
r county in the district, but as th.it is
h the only question upon which there
s seems to be a difference of opinion
1 among the candidates we have asked
_ Mr. Dominick to write out his views
2 on the subject and we will be glad to
2 publsih the views and the reasons
2 for those views from the other c:n
i didatcc if they will furnish them.
I Mr. McCravy said it was a real
I pleasure for yhim to address a Nevvberry
audience. His great g i nd
1 father was the first man ever electcd
_ sheriff In Newberry county. His
^ mother was born in Newberry. It was
while his father was living at Jalapa
and held some position with the rail.
road that a Confederate flag which
> was carried to the front by Captain
t Warren Peterson, was made by his
1 mother from a silk drefes of hers. Mr.
Dominick was his personal friend
? and he expected that he would be
such friend when the campaign was
j over, that he would not brinsr i:i the
discussion personal matters but that
e
he would discuss the public record
^ of Mr. Dominick.
He was in favor of America fur
Americans and would restrict im0
migration. That at the present time
^ 14 per cent of the population of the,
r United States was foreign born and
r) 60 per cent of the population of New
I York was foreign born.
Mr. Deminick has ,said >"o many
. things that he endorsed that he felt
y ?
' like c'.appirg his hands. He cndorst
ed the position of Mr. Dominick en
the tariff and the farm bloc and ma-i
r ny other things. He thought the
^ farm bloc was a good thing. It was
? this that saved the war finance
t board. Ho was opposed to the exj
change where was bought and rold
many times the amount of cotton
f that was grown, and that should be
stopped.
j Labor disturbance was the worst
^ since the days of Cleveland when he '
I called out the army. He thought the
f main trouble was a misunderstand- j
1 ing and he believed in compulsory
_ -arbitration. He wanted to go to
s congress to >?erve the people, and he j
. wanted especially to be there just;
. long enough to put his finger in the
e ficc of Mr. Dyer to tell him facc to
e face what he thought of -the Dyer
t anti-lynching bill.

father, Yancey Sherard, to attend

o should know cur history. There are
y no great changes need in our laws,
f but the thing to do was to live in
r accordance with the laws we had. A |

c for the country. This is an agricul -
tural state, but thousands of people
are leaving uie iarm. and unless we
t can get for the fanner sympathetic
- support from legislation there will
k be more to leave the farm. He critf

MR. DOMiNICK STATES CLEAR- :
LY HIS POSITION ON BONUS
!.
Synopsis cf His Speech Whitmirc
??t Which Time He Discussed
the Bonus
l
'I here seems to be only one issue
in the congressional campaign in the
Third usitricl. E. P. McCravy and
Sam H. Sherard, the two candidates
who aspire to the position of the
present incumbent, Congressman
Fred H. Dominick, so far have confined
their attacks to hVs vote against
the adjusted compen v tion bill,
r-'ore commonly known as the bonus
bill.
In his speech at Vnitmirc, Congressman
Dominick called attention
to the fact that he had represented
the people of the Third district in
the house of representatives since
March 1917. During his term of office,
he h 3 cast hundreds and hundreds
of votes on matters of the
most vital importance. Indeed, at
nr? f'rno in too li orv mir fOlin
try has congress been called upon to
rdjust so many perplexing problems
and pass legislation involving such a
wide and divergent field of intcres'. >.
Mr. Dominick pointed out that during
the trying days of the World war
and the difficult period of recon- ,
rtructi-cn, congress was almost continually
in session struggling to over
come yimost ii '?rmountable obstacles,
and to stei- the destiny of the
mt'rivi inf^ cifa .on/1 conn cVionnr?lc
Every member of. congress \vat> called
upon timc> and time again to
ip'.ke his decision and cast his vote
in regard to the manifold questions
vf world (le importance pendng
before congress.
It weald be impossible to conceive,
he staled, that in' each and every
ease the problem received a correct
solution. He fyad doubtless made
mistakes as had every other member
of congress, ..But, he declared, it
was a keen pleasure for him co note
that h's two opnonents, who were
trying to demonstrate their superior
fitness for the position, had seen fit
to attack him on only one single
solitary vote out of all the hundreds
he hid cast during the period he had
served in the house of representatives.
He stated that he had been
much pleased when his friends had
indorsed his record and had returned
him to congrc?s in 1918 and 1920;.
but that it was indeed 'gratifying to
know that his ooponents who desir
cd to succeed him, had likewise indorsed
every vote that he had cast,
with one single exception. i
Explains Bonus Bill
Mr. Pominick then proceeded to
discuss the bonus bill. He pointed
out that two years ago he h:.d taken
nn th's fiHfJ'in nn ovorv ntnmn in
the Third congressional district. He
had declared himself a?3 being unalterably
oppossd to the bonus bill
that was before congress; 2nd had
stated that if reelected . he would
vote against it. The voters knew
where he stood on this question, and
after mature reflection they had reelected
him by the handsome majority
of 4,046 votes. J
When the bonus bill was first before
congress more than two ye Mrs
ago, every member of the South Carolina
delegation had voted against
it. The American Legion in South
Carolina had prone on record against
it. At the first reunion of th?> 30th
division, thore veterans who had won
such undying fame and giory on the
field ef battle, knowing well the horrors
and hardships of the war, had
adopted a resolution oppc^intr* the
bonus. The>e men have ewry claim
to a nat:on'.s gratitude and benevoIcnce.
By their courage, fortitude,
o n il flftvnfirtn + Vi ?-> tr hi/-} r1p'"n
ui a * ^. v is
c/nst rated to the world that America
is worth fighting for and dying
for. These veterans were men who
knew that patriotism can not be
Iv.ugh: nor sold for gold, that copper
pi-nce could never be a measuring
standard for the service they had
rendered their country. They, therefore,
cpnosed the bonus.
Mr. Dominick demanded to know
whn* justification could be offered by
h:.c opponent? of such a monstrosity
as the present bonus bill. They had
sponsored it. but could not justify
it. To pass the bonus bill nt this
time would mean an additional expenditure
of from four to six billions
of dollars. The country was groan
ing under its present tax burden.
Government expenditures for this
fiscal year had attained staggering
proportions of four billions of dollars.
The .present outlook would in
riicatc a deficit of at least one billion
dollars in the federal treasury for
this year alone. If these enormous
expenditures continued, taxeg would
have to be raised again and yet
again. Some check must be made
on this vast orgy of spending or the
country would be* bankrupt.
/ Vividly portraying the present unsettled
financial condition of the
country, Mr. Dominick hammered
home with 'ftartlirig force Jhe fact
that the ultimate consumer had to
pay these crushing taxes.
"You nuy say," he remarked, "I
do not tiavc to pay any taxes into
the federal treasury because I do not
make a salary of $2,000 j year and
hcnce do not have to pay an income
tax. My friends, you who
think that hsve never b^n ro badly
fooled in your lives. Every time
you buy 3 package of cigarettes;
every time you buy a cigar; -yea,
every timfkyou sit down to a meal
l'(;iJA*ru in ,wn? i UV>11 , numt .ywu aiv,
paying a tax to the federal government."
Having shown the extent of the
country's indebtedness, and having
pointed out the fact that the present
bonus bill, if prused, would mean an
additional tax of from four to six
bimoits ot dollars, :vir. l'ominicK proceeded
to demonstrate how absurdly
inadequate the present bill is from
the standpoint of the ex-~erv!cc men.
The present bonus bill provides ihat
every man shall receive one dollar
for each day?s service in the United
States and one dollar and twenty-five
cer.'j for each day's service abroad,
with the further orovis'on, however,
that no man shall re;e:ve a sum
greater than .$625, no matter how
long !:?* was in the anv.y. % Further
mere, it is set ont in -he hill that r:o
man shall receive oninpnsatior: for
the fir Ft sixty days of nis service, :nasmuch
as he has already bi\cn paid
a r-ixty dollar bonus.
Taking a concrete example, he explained
how the bill would effect a
man who was in the sei'vice one veai*.
He would receive compnsation at the
rate of one dollar for each day's service
after deducting the sixty dollar
bor.us; in other words $360 less $60
or a sum of $300.
"Would he receive th's in car-h.
Oh, no. He would be handed a handsomely
engraved certificate which
stated thjt the United Statf-; would
pay him three hundred dollar at the
end of twenty years."
The veterans of the World war
who has been expcctin^ a cash bonus
will receive a piece of paper which he
will nave to noici :or twenty years iu
realize the full value of hio certificate.
Those memoers of congress
who drew up the bill and voted for
its passage knew full well, however,
that the veterans would no: stand for
such an outrageous and utterly absurd
piece of leg!slaUo?i; and hence
they put a joker in the bill "hich allows
the ex-service man to taks his
certificate to a bank, rnd if h'.* can
find a bank that will handle itr ho can
borrow $150 upon it. The man who
has served his country for one entire
year receives a certificate for only
<5*300 iinnn ivhir-h Vio r>:in VirkPVOW Onlv
SI50, provided he can find a bank
anywhere which will let him have it.
The law does not force the banks to
accept the certificate. It merely allows
the banks to do so; but what
bank wants to take paper it will
have to hold for twenty years.
If the veteran can't borrow the
money he desires and will lock up his
certificate in some safe place, when
he srets twenty years older and has
time to stop playing: with his ?r:?nd*
* * * v it 1 1 x. _ 11
children, ana snouia r.appen to retail
the fact that he had such a certificate,
he can turn it in to the United
States treasury and receive h:.i $300
plus accrucd interest, which will
amount to something like $900. This
the monstrous, ne>*yertcd. insidious.
and ill-starred legislation that
congress is trying to fo',-t off on the
American public.
Mr. Dominick requested that if his
opponents were really in favor of a
cash bonus as they stated, for them
to come out like men and say so and
not try to hide behind and advocate
<ueh a distorted and meaningless
jumbble of wordy buffoonery 2-3 the
present bonus bill.
In concluding his speech Mr. Dom-!
inick showed that he had been, was 1
' J ?1 -1 HD
doing clflU WUUIU WIHUIWV vv .
everything in his power for the |
wounded, disabled or diseased sol-'
dicr. He had voted for every meas- j
j ure that would aid in giving them j
compensation, vocational training or!
j hospital treatment. He had always !
| taken a keen personal interest in
j these men and had handled over two
j thousand compensation and insurance
claims through his office in Washing
ton. No veteran had ever called on
him for aid or assistance and been
refused. He would continue to devote
his personal attention to getting
these claims adjusted.
Congress has done much for the
wounded, diseased and disabled veterans!
Up to April, 1922, it has expended
over two billions of dollars
giving them hospital treatment, com
pensation and vocational education, j
Today, every twenty-four hours, the j
government is expending over a milii':r?

When seen Monday and just before |
lrTviro1 fr!?- thp linnpr r>art of the I
*v. A * v"w ? r r ? x district
on his campaign, Congressman
Dominick ctated that there were
many matters he wishes to .discuss,
but. as his time was so limited, he
had not h^d an opportunity to do so.
He desired to call attention to the
fact that up to this time, twentyfour
states of the union had passed
bonus bills giving the ex-service men
anywhere from $100 in cash to the
benefit of a loan of $3,000. His two j
i opponents seem to be heartily in fa-1
vor of a bonus for the soldiers. If
they were sincere and desired to
help the veterans of the World 'war)
by passing a bonus bill why is it
they have done to assist the veterans,
this line. Mr. Dominick pointed out |
that the constitution of South Carolina
does not prohibit its general assembly
from passing a bonus bill in
favor of the soldiers who served in
the World war. Yet it is 'significant
that Mr. McCr:vy, who was a mem-'
ber of the senate and Mr. Sherard,!
a member of the house of represen-j
tatives and also a member of the
ways and means committee which re-!
ports all of the appropriation bills j
passed by the general assembly, not,
only ri;d not vote for but did not ev-|
on advocate or introduce such a j
measure in the general assembly. If j
they have the -interests of the ex-,
service - men at heart, they should
demonstrate this by showing what
they have done to assi?t the veterans
| not by making claims and protestations
of what they will do if elected |
to congrcss. They doubtless hivej
some good reason why they have r.otj
sponsored such a bill in the icgisla-;
ture. but so far they have failed to
ment'on it. Mr. Dominiek str.fed!
further that he would ^ive them an j
ample opportunity to explain on the I
stumn to the voters of the Third I
congressional district why they had .
not introduced and fought for a
measure which, they claimed, lay r.~,
close to their hearts.
