I now ask your Amtinned support on nest Tifcsday, and wish to renew my pledge of unceasing work in be half of the best interests of my County. X HERMAN POWER Candidate for County Commissioner (PaUtleai Advertiaemeiit). (PolMeal Adveribemeni) T' ELECT Carroll D. The man who has always done what he promised. He recEbced your taxes in 1932-’36 and will do it again if humanly to Labor. Fair to Fair to the Farmors. Has been loyal to his flag in pbace and war. A Democrat true and tried. ^ SOME THINGS 1 STAND JFXIR REFERENDUM—On August 27 1 voted dry, am per sonally dry, have been for several years, and expect to remain dry. If elected to the Senate, I fwopose to carry out the mandate of a very large majority of my county, who voted dry. Not only do I expect to vote dry before the Senate, but to work and use my influence to make the State of Sooth Crolina dry. 1 am a Democrat and believe in majority rule. the white W. P. A, workers of my oo^ty any easiei^, 1 IMrcMuise to do so. WAGE AND HOUR LAW—A rumor has been sisread that 1 am opfxised to Wage and Hour law, whidi is un true. The Wage and Hour law is an Act oi Congress of the United States in Washington. If any attempt should hfijBiadp in either branch of the General Assembly while I am in tlie Senate to increase the hours of labor, even as much as one minute, or decrease the amount of pay, 1 shall not only vote against it, but will use all my influ ence to defeat it. j6lD'AGE pension — I am going to-vote tor and work to get every doiter of appropriation that my con science dictates to me, is proper and correct fw the old, the blind, sick and cripple and dependent children of my state, and when this appropriation is obtained, I pro pose to see to it that those for whom it is amwopriated, get it, and that a large proportion of U that is now con sumed in administration, be sti^^ied. SALES TAX—It has also been spread that I will at tempt to put a general sales tax on the statute books. I will never, long as I am Senator of this County, cast a ballot that will tax any man’s meat, bread or dothing. 1 have always said it and stick to'it. Farthenoore, I am one to figh any additional taxes proposed. My policy will be: **To balance the badge! with the revenue noiw avail- able.’^ iWORKMAN’S COMPENSATION —I have earefuHy studied the proposed Amendments of Mr. Sloan, who waa elected to the House on the 27th, and I can conceive 4>f no better amendments than those proposed by him. Certainly no man, or woman, should be required to wait, in some instances,* as much ka five or six weeks for pay to begin, and if dee^ I will fight to see that they wait no longer than one week. EVERY PROMISE made from the stumps of my coun ty, if I am elected, will be carried out as I have always in the past carried out .every promise ever made to the people of my ccHinty. W. P. A.—reiterate my words upon the stamps of this countyi that **I have never thrown a straw in the way of any man to make a living by his labor for him self and family.” If it be possible to make the lives of REMEMBER—'T^t when I was dected senator in 1932 I promised to give the people of Laurens County the lowest taxes they had had in a quarter of a century, and that I carried out that promise. If elected agaii^ I renew my promise to do everything in my power to low er the tax burdm in my county. Senator From Laurens County CLEAN CAMPAIGN—! have made a dean campaign. I have questioned nobody’s motives. 1 have respected my oppon ents. If elected, 1 promise to carry on in the same manner as senator and will serve all seetioiis and evorybody faithfully and impartially. I shall deeply appreciate your vote and your help in the second primary and wUl make you, if elected, the best senator tl&t I know how. CARROLL NANCE LOVES HIS COUNTY AND WANTS TO SERVE IT!
