REARDON. Sales Ma SUM TER. S. C. MR. BROWNING AND THE SENATORIAL RACE Messrs. W. W. Scott, II. Kelley, Asa Hall, Jr., and H. Clinton Summers, of the Anderson legislative delegation: Gentlemen: I see in the press of February 3 a letter from you to Senator John L. lcLaurin, withdrawing your endorse ment of him as a candidate for gov ernor, you alleging as your reason that he has deserted the principles of the Reform party of this state. This letter of yours is evidently intended as a reply to his open letter of some . ;s before. Yru accuse him of being a traitor to the principles of the Reform party of this state, yet in his letter he de clares he is anxious to perfect the warehouse system, whereby the mid die man would be eliminated and the Cotton producer and the cotton con sumer would deal directly with each other, at a minimum of cost. Do you not believe that this system would an nually saev to the cotton planters millions of dollars ? If you (1o not be lieve this, why have you advocated it? McLaurin evidently is sincere in his advocacy. Were you simply play ing politics and hoping by advocating the warehouse system, to tie to your chariot wheel one of the profoundest thinkers and most eloquent debaters not only of this state, but of the na tion? Do you think our insurance laws are perfect? Do you not realize that the insurance rates in this statte are excessive? And if you have the wel far of the people at heart, why do you repudiate a man who has evolved a plan whereby our people would be saved enormous sums for fire protec tion ? This money leaves our state, never to return, but goes to enrich other sections. Why not keep it at home ? It can be done with McLaurin as governor, yet you say he deserted the Reform party. Do you not wish a reform 'of our primary election system, so that every man can vote according to his honest convictions, without fear of intimida tion ? Then do you not wvant these ballots honestly counteu ? I am un* decr the impression that this is one of the tenets of the Reform party, as well as of all other honest men in the state. If you favor them, wvhy (d0 you now repudiate MlcLaurin ? For so does he. D~o you not very frequently, in the house .of representatives, raise your voice in protest against extravagant applropriations and high taxes? This can bec largely remedied by a budge; system. Mc Laurin stands for this, as dloes the Reform party. D~o you not wvant a just system of taxation, whereby each citizen will bear his pro rata share of the buraen of govern ment ? All honest citizens do, wvhether reformiers or not, McLaurin among the ncumber-. Only tax dodgers and their dIupes olppose a just and eqluitable re form of our tax system. I might cite you numerous other matte*rs ini which he standls for the best interests of our state and for which -all patriotic Re formers stand. Yet you repudiate him; you brand him as a traitor to the Ref ormn parity of South Carvol in, and for what? Blecause, not wishing to oh-. tam support under false prletense, he boldliy declares his position ini regaird to Governor Blease's candidacy for the United States senate. Befor-e our country was at war~ every one had the right to their per s~onal choice among the warring na tion:, and to make converts to their views, when they could. But when the toesin of war was sounded, when our country had taken sides, when our young men were being rapidly called to the colors and trained for war, so that upon the bloody field of battle they might uphloldl the honor and go ry and honor of our country, it was the (duty of every citizen to support the government by both word and (eed. McLaurin (lid, and thousands andl thousands of patriotic reformers in this state did lhkewise, andl in (10 ing so (lid nothing but their duty. Hadl Governor Blease laid asidie his personal hostility for President Wil son and at Pomaria, Filbert and Chapin declaredl we were fighting a righteous war; we were fighting to safeguard the lives of our men, wom en andl children from ruthless, brutal murder; we were fighting that civil ization and Christianity might not perish from the earth, he would have been elected to the senate by a ma jority so great, that the most un Drives Out M lariam, Builds Up Systern The Old stanr general trahintonic tend tru, e ton For . lie - ERX Lnd efficient Bt once a month .e benefit of Bi By keeping y( I deal of troubl ES CO gr. P. L. WE Pros scrupulous election thief would not have dared to question his triumph. I and thousands of others hoped that he would so declare himself; had he done so, our state would have been swept with a wave of patriotic en thusiasm and Blease would have tow ered head and shoulders above any man in the state. His patriotism would have been unassailable and fac tionalism would have been buried be yond hope of resurrection. He did not so speak, but he allowed his personal venom to override his judgment; his course was dictated by hatred of individuals and not by love of country. His speeches, I have no doubt, were reported in Germany, his power here was greatly overrated there, and the German nation was ani mated to greater resistance because they thought one of our great leaders was their firm friend and supporter. If Governor Blease should be elected to the senate, it would inspire the sol diers and people of Germany to great er effort; for they would naturally be lieve that America was about to drop out of the war. Thousands of Amer ican soldiers, many of them Carolin ians, would (lie upon the battle field on account of this delusion. I honest ly believe that his election would so strengthen the morale of the German people and army that it would be equivalent to a reinforcement of a quarter of a million soldiers. Gentlemen, the poet well says: "There is a tide in the affairs of men, which taken at the flood, leads on to fortune," Blease did not take it, and apparently, you are following in his wake. Unless you change your course, we may safely predict that the re maining voyages of your lives will be "bound in shallows and in miseries." In the past you have admitted Mc Laurin's ability and patriotism, now you repudiate him because he stands for pure and lofty American patriot ism; because he upholds the purity of womanhood and the liberty of the hu man race. Let me beg of you before it is too late to stop, look and listen! Yours truly, Lowndcs Browning. 0 Instructor Burned to Death Lake Charles, La., Feb. 10.-Trhom as .E.
