The ,same crowd that's fought a sick man on a sick bed in the White House for a year. This is not going to be pink ten fight nor a pillow contest; I in-. tend to deal in plain words and not in the meaningless and ambiguous words that have characterized the Sen atorial oligarchy up to the present." The Governor reiterated that he was not making a partisan campaign.

D. Smid to the People of South Carolina. I wish to express to the voters of my State my heart felt appreciation of the generous support given me in the election last Tuesday. I received more than 20,000 votes over my nearest opponent, and came within a very few votes of a majority. The issues before the people are clear cut. Three powerful interests are endeavoring to bring about my defeat. FIRST, The cotton exchanges on account of the leg islation I had passed fixing it so that they could no longer deal in fictitious cotton, and exploit the real cot tor of our real farmers. SECOND, the whiskey interests desire my defeat so as to advertise to the world that South Carolina is re pudiating her stand on prohibition. THIRD, the great financial institutions of Wall Street oppose me. The r'eason is that by my work in having adopted the proviso to Section 13, of the Federal' Reserve Act, the, Southern farmers' cotton became .a basis of credit. Because of this the money power, the manipulators, the speculators, and gamblers on the New York Cotton Exchaiige are working for my de feat. They knowing that I am the only Simon Pure farm-j er in the United States Senate, and that I have been working for the past twelve years to keep them fior' using our cotton for their own selfish -interests, and knowing that by my being advanced to the head of the Agricultural Committee of the Senate my power will be greater than ever before, they are sparing no effort or means to defeat me. Unlike my opponent I have done and am, doing all I can to wipe out factionalism in South Carolina, so we can all cooperate and pull together for a profitable price for our main money crop-cotton, and for the de velopment of all the industrial and other interests of the State. We have these selfish interests opposed to us, but we are going to win. The people of South Carolina do not move V -kward, and they will not be deceived by "camoulaged" arguments'and false reports. The best years of my life have been given to the service of the people of my State, and my fists are not only doubled, but I am going to strike eveiry enemy of the best inter ests of South Carolina. Thanking you again for your confidence already ex pre.sed, and with assurances for the future, I am Yours faithfully, E. D. SMITH. the candidate.
