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.

CLEAN CAMPAIGN—! have made a dean campaign. I have questioned nobody’s motives. 1 have respected my oppon
