'~'. IM WE I t A kAll Political Advertisement Columbia, S. C.,-The people of South Carolina who have been follow ing the work of the San Francisco Convention will be interested in the Aimportant part which Senator E. D. Smith played in the deliberations. The work of Senator Smith is best described in the following article from the Florence Daily Times: Fiiends of Senator Ellison D. Smith in Florence 'county are beginning to interest themselves in his behalf as a candidate for re-election to the United States Senate, not that they are fear ful of the Senator's failing to carry the county by a large majority, as usual, but because of the fact that that they are einxious to recognize the. Senator's great work in the Senate by giving him a much lar'ger majorit-.' than ever before. Senator Smith has been at San Francisco attending the National Democratic convention. He will re turn to his home at Lynchburg to morrow and is expected in Florence for a conference with his friends later in the week. Senator Smith will be late entering the campaign, his op-; ponents having already covered a large part of the State. In his letter to the people of the State which was read at the opening meeting of the campaign he recount ed his achievements in the Senate and stated, that he felt it his duty to at tend the convention and asainmber of the platform committee do what he could for his State and the South. It happened that he accomplished much, the port facilities plank In the platform, for which he is responsible being of deep significance to this 'sec -tion. This, however, was not the only item in which his influence was felt. Senator Smith happily has the knack of getting things done and his acti vities at the convention bore fruit just as they have done in the Senate. The following rather remarkable tribute to Senator Smith is taken from the Raleigh News and Observer, the paper owned by Josephus Daniels, Secretary of the Navy, and will be of interest as pointing out the esteem in which Senator Smith is held in the tar heel State. Senator Ellison D. Smith "South Carolina has had a scnsation al page in the political history of the country, bul in all of Its novel story It has not contributed anything that has a deeper significance than the orn ~4gin of the port facilities plank in the .ME * W, IA VE D a point It's Our Sell Otil Don't waste yc MSI tor Ellison D. Smith of South Caro- i lina is the fathering influence. Sena- 1 tor Smith has been active in the prac- I tical things that help his nation and ; his section. He is one of the original i designers of the cotton association i movement, and for a number of years < he served the Sout hin the field work s with the organization of the associa- i tion. When he came to be elected for t thb Senate in 1908 his vote was the < biggest his State had given for this i office, showing thp appreciation in t which the people of his State had held , his work. In Congress his committ'eei assignments show the bent of his work. They include the Committees on Railroads, Manufactures, Inter-t state Commerce, Agriculture andt Forestry and he is Chairman of the< Committee on Conservation of Nation-c I Resources, every one of them a prac tical working committee that works directly to the welfare of the coun try. As an active member of these indus trial and commercial Committees, 1 Senator Smith has a chance to know r the needs of the country in its pro duction, distribution and foreign conm mercial relations, and he has the con ception that realizes the absolute necessity of making our railroads and ' harbors serve the requirements of both domestic and foreign trade. Con- I siderable that has been brilliant has been written by Senators from South I Carolina in the stoary of the country. The State has contribtited its share ' of the sensational in its day. But never has her representation in Wash- ' ington showed a more comprehensive association with the practical necessi- ~ ties of the country than Senator Smith ' Is exhibiting in his committee work t and the earnestness with which he r undlertakes to make this work count. ~ South Carolina feels a great pride in ~ the names that have represented the a State in the Federal Senate in the I past, but the time her present delega tion there has concluded the tasks ~ laid out for the members it is pos sible a new claim to conspicuous ser- ( vice, and a new line will have been ~ registered. The nation as a whole r and the South as a section can help ~ sffairs along by backing and encourag ing Senator Smith in the work he is ~ doing."
