R. HUNTER - - - - * - J? President Mislead Says Senator Smith Greenville, August 12.?Senator i?. I L>. Smith this afternoon Issued this1 -statement: ii "The president, speaking In Green vllle last night, said he did not be lleve any family or any man could live on 50 cents a day. I am In hearty accord with the statement. The president should not be criticized by my friends for Intimating that such a statement had been made by me. YVe| must remember that the president talked to ouly one candidate on the train aud evidently he was misled Into making this statement which on several occasions had been made by that candidate and on each occasion has been denounced by me as untrue Had the president read my statement lu the Congressional Record, which merely states a hypothetical case by way of Illustration, 1 am confident that he would never huve made his statement last night, and when hu[ reads the record, I am sure he will resent having been misled, "1 am In hearty accord with the sentiment expressed by the president that no person could be expected to live on 50 cents a day. During my entire 30 years' service lu the senate I have devoted my every energy to bringing about bettor working conditions and higher standards of living for the laboring man and the farmer. Because of my record lu support of higher wages for labor, I have received ihe endorsement of the Amorl can Federation of Labor and the Indorsement of 23 other labor organizations, Including the great railway brotherhoods. "1 was the original author and sponsor of the 8mlth-Burnet Immigration law, which began our policy of restricting importation of cheap foreign labor Into this country to compete with American labor. "During my entire service I have advocated higher wages for mill employes. In 1934, I realized that recovery could not he had by reducing the purchasing power of the people and I voted to restore the wages of govern inent employes which had been reduced as a result of the president's economy program. 1 did this because I know the wages of government employes affect the wages of employes! In private Industry and I have always advocated the Improvement In tinwages. . wage scale of workers in j South Carolina and the nation. "In like manner, when the president as part of his economy program, brought about a reduction in the compensation of veterans, I did not believe that they could live on the amount they received and I voted to restore the amounts that had been taken from the veterans and when the president vetoed the bill, I voted to | over-rkle his veto. He was just as conscientious In his position as I was ( in mine. i "I know the people of South Caro- ' Una believe In fair play and they will not approve a candidate's misleading , a great president of the United States ' in the hope of gaining a personal political advantage." What's -ill this todo about the new ' heaven of Father Divine being set up . right across the river from the Rooso veil faml.y suai?aren't the culler* mostly good old Harlem Democrats? ?Greensboro Na~?. , EXECUTIVE PICTATION.% I? 17Mr. John Francis Mercer w#h a candidate for re-election to congress Home of his political supporters made statements that implied, that rreaident George Washington was favorable to hla election. When the President heard this, he wrote a letter, dated September 26, 171)2, directly to Mr. Mercer, Haying; "I come now to another S>art of your letter, and in touching upon It, do not scruple to declare to you that I was not a little dlapleased to find by u letter from Capt. Campbell to a gentleman in thlu neighborhood, that my name had been freely used by you or your frlenda for electioneering purposes, when 1 had never associated your uame and the election together; und when there had been the most scrupulous and pointed caution observed on iny part, not to express a sentiment respecting the fitness or unfitness of any candidate for repre sentutive that could be construed, by the most violent torture of words, Into an interference in favor of one, or to the prejudice of another. "Conceiving that the exercise of an Influence (if I really possess any) however remote would be Improper; us the people ought to be entirely at liberty to choose whom they pleased to represent them in congress. Having pursued this line of conduct steadily, my surprise and consequent declaration can be a matter of no wonder. . . "I instantly declared to the person who showed me the letter;-?that to the best of my ?v,co!!C\.v<v<i, * uc* had exchanged a word to, or before Flushrod Washington on the subject of. your election, much less to have given such a decided opinion. That such a measure would have been Incompatible with the rule I had prescribed for myself, and which 1 had invariably observed, of not interfering directly or Indirectly, with the suffrages of the people, in the choice of their represents t^ves. ..." President Washington did not stand for executive dictation to congress or to the voters. He did not undertake to say who should or who should not he elected to congress. Those who occupy the position that George Washington filled with so great distinction, would be well advised to follow his example. Mr Roosevelt is not so great a man as , Washington, nor so wise a statesman < of the Democratic type.?Sumter Item. 1 ' I Notice of Democratic Primary ] Election ?
