Plaxico Soys Voters (continued from page 1) pointed with the President’s stand on textile tariffs. The economic good health of South Carolina is- dependent to a large degree upon a thriving textile industry. But the Republican administration by its actions and by its failure to act does not appear to be wor ried about this great Southern industry and considers it expend able. By lowering the tariffs on Jex tiles without placing a reasonable quota on the importation of cheaply produced foreign goods our markets are being flooded with Japanese goods made by workers working at the measly rate of 13% cents per hour. Loss of business, loss of jobs, disastrous economic effects curtailment of operations with throughout the whole area of the textile industry will likely hap pen if this ill-advised tariff pol icy continues to prevail. .South Carolina Democrats are not pleas ed with these developments— they are disappointed. Our tex tile industry and the jobs of our textile friends are NOT expend- afole. Now I know that there are some policies of the national Democratci party in which we cannot fully concur, and I also know that there are some indi viduals in the party of whom wc do not fully approve. As for me l have no sympathy for the “Grand Old Party” of the Sherman Ad ams, or the' Herbert Brownells, or the party of the Tom Deweys, or oMfcfe Geo. M Humphreys, or of the Ezra Taft Benson, or of the party of the litU^Richard Nixons. The point that Lifrish mostly to emphasize here is that it is my sincere wish and hope that all ot you—no matter who you voted for in 1952—will unite fully in presenting a solid front for the Democratic party come this No vember 6, for it is my honest opin ion that the great masses of oui people will be better off under the administration of our nation al government by the Democratic party. (continued from page 1) ideological opportunities who would place all civilization on one low level. “As to party loyalty, I know that there are in our midst many who may have voted other tickets on some occasion. In my opinion, we need as many party members as we can get without adoption of loyalty oaths which may drive some members to the coup of the enerrl^. All of us know that the ideals and concepts of our county and state party will often be great ly it variance with those in the platform our of national Democrat ic party. We do expect voters and candidates to .subscribe to and abide by ou^jubunty and state reg ulations and customs.

We cannot influence or change the pattern pt national levels by bolting the party. Let us determine to work from within the fabric of the Democratic party. Let us protect, persuade and show by precept and example that our Democratic party is a true party. I have Aigh hopes of the influence we may have this year. Also, we are ih a position to have ipuch to do with the nomination and elec tion of good Democrats all over the nation.
