Clinkscalee. former can didate for Governor of South Caro lina ami professor st Wofford College, says: Xj “My regular summer work for Wof ford College in particular, and for ed ucation in general, has taken me over many counties, and I feel quite sure, after watching closely the trend of things, that Governor Manning will succeed himself. In my judgment the Governor is gaining ground every day. The open, manly, straight way in which he has met his opponents and his persistent fight all along for good, clean government ere gripping the attention of the people as the election day approaches. “Many good men who would person ally prefer one of the other candidates are beginning to feel as does Dr. Mc Cain; that to vote at this time for any other would be evidence of a failure to appreciate an honest effort on the part of the chief executive to give South Carolina clean government. “I am glad to find, too, that the peo ple wfl] allow no more elemination, such as we had two years ago. ‘Ev ery tub must stand on its own bottom,’ they say. “Governor Manning has had no easy task. His has not been a bed of ros es. In discharging his duty he has necessarily offended many people. That was to he expected. He has done well, and I believe the people will/ 1 give him a second* term as gov ernor, as he deserves.” OF THE PROGRESSIVE ADMINISTRATION OF GOVERNOR MANNING CONSTANTLY ARE COMING TO HIM FROM THE FOUR QUARTERS OF SOUTH CAROLINA. THEY REPRESENT THE COMPOSITE THOUGHT OF THE STATE AND FORE TELL FOR HIM A SUCCESSFUL CONTINUATION OF THE GREAT WORK SO WELL BEGUN DURING HIS PRESENT TERM. GOOD^toVERNMENT AND MANNING ARE SYNONYMOUS! Are You for Good Government? “The public evil is ended; the public good is begun.*’ Governor Manning’t opening epeecb at Spartanburg. And shall the public good ».. not be continued by bis re-election. THE PIEDMONT. Thomas F. McDow, a prominent at torney of York, says: “I am supporting Governor Man ning for re-election: ‘(Because he is a man of ability, purity of character and a patriot who is devoted to the best interests of South Carolina. ' _ - “Because he has been strertig enough to advocate measures in the interest of the masses of . the people against the powerful protest of former friends of wealth, power and inffuence. :‘Because on all occasions and every- •» ' • . * f •. where he has conducted himself so as to reflect credit upon the high offke to which the people of South Carolina have elected him. “Because during his administration there has been no unseemly quarrel between the Governor and the Gener al Assembly and the Governor and the Judiciary. He has received the res pect of every department of govern ment and has treated the other de partments of government with - that respect and courtesy to which they are entitled from the Executive. “Because, in my opinion, he has made one of tlje^ best governors the State has had since 1876, snd on his merits snd by established 'custom he is entitled to g. second term. “For these reasons I am support ing Governor Manning, notwithstand ing the fact that personally I have the highest respect snd regard for Mr. Cooper. ^ Mr. Voter, it is up to you. The issue has been squarely drawn, j You know where Manning stands. CONDITIONS HAVE CHANGED. IMPROVEMENT HAS BEEN NOTED ON ALL SIDES. The public highways are now' safe to travel; your persons are freed from peril, and your homes are protected, for there is a vast respect for the law throughout South Carolina. “There’s a reason.” Manning has upheld the sanctity of the law and the de crees of the courts. Light has been shed and cnminals court the dark. Progress is throughout the State and retrogression checked. And from the foothills of the Blue Ridge to the seaboard the cry wells up: “MANNING HAS MADE GOOD.” FORMER COOPER SUPPORTER Mr. David R.' Coker, of Hartsviile, one of the leading business men and farmers of South Carolina, says: “After talking with many representative men during the past tejn days, I am convinced that R. I. Manning will get a bi£ vote from Darlington County in the first primary—possibly a majority ot the total vote. Many who voted for other candidates two years ago feel that they ought to show their approval of Mr. Manning’s administration and their gratitude to him for his progressive, hu mane, and business-like course as governor. “Mr. Manning not only promised to check blind tigerisaa, race track gambling and general lawlessness, but has demonstrated his ability to do SOi, He not only deplored the lack of law enforcement and the contempt for law formerly prevalent, bnt has shown that he can enforce the law and command respect for it. He not only expressed his sympathy for the unfortunate insane, but has reor ganized the institution for their care and placed it oa a par with, the best of its kind. His administration has been efficient, economical and clean. He deserves to be our next governor and I feel sure that Darlington and the Pee Dee section win do their part to re-elect him.” THE COAST. R. Goodwin Rhett of Charleston, President of Chamber of Commerce of United States, says: “I am glad to say that Governor Manning ought to be extremely grat ified at the splendid reception given him here and is to be congratulated upon the address he made. I think the z*' .. . t people of the State realize that he has fulfilled his promises to an unusual degree and therefore those who voted for him two years ago because of these promises ought to be—and I be lieve with few exceptions are—Im mensely gratified and will use every effort to see that his work is indorsed and acknowledged and that he be giv en an opportunity of doing still more for the people of the State. I think each day he is growing stronger in the regard, esteem snd affection of the public.” Mr. Rhett is one of the best known business men in South Carolina. In addition to his other connections he is President of the United States Chamber of Commerce. Mr. Rhett has traveled extensively over the State snd the above statement from him is significant and indicates the great strength of Governor Manning with the people. \ D. A. GEER: | D. A. Geer, a large farmer and merchant of BeHoa, says: < I Being in intimate touch with the political situation la the Piedmont, I firmly believe that Governor Man ning’s strength in this section of the state is growing daily regardless of wild claims to the contrary. At ao time has his chance for reelection been brighter. Should he not be nomhmt- ed in the first primary over all his competitors, I am satisfied that he will repeat his splendid victory of two years ago when be defeated Mr. Rich ards, by an overwhelming majority, in the second primary. So far as my own County, Anderson, is concerned, I believe he will run a strong second in the first primary. The other Pied mont counties will give him a sur prisingly large vote and I am satis fied that those persons now claiming that-Govemor Manning is weak in the Piedmont will be greatly surprised at his strength when the vote is counted. Why shouldn’t he run strong in the Piedmont? He has certainly proven himself worthy. “Governor Manning's hard but un ceasing fight for law and order and his success in restoring confidence in the forces making for civic righteous- naae in South Carolina, his earnost advocacy of social and industrial jus tice, his successful efforts for better educational facilities for the white boys and girls of the State, the eco nomic measures passed under his ad ministration for improving the con ditions purrounding our rural popula tion, and the reorganisation of the State Hospital for the Insane with its medern, improved methods of treat ment for the unfortunate f ~| the large saving in dollars and cents as a result of the economies practiced there by the new administration, have caused me to give my undivided sup port to Governor Manning. I believe that the majority of the people of South Carottna agree with me that his progressive adauaistratlon would be continued so that the groat work that be has so well begun for law, labor, itarethm. and humanity Mwll by him to a Li iMiAJsrismsrG- ^ntid A,
