1. More Stringent Enforcement of the
Immigration Laws. He is opposed to the in
discriminate influx of aliens and foreigners.
South Carolina is the purest Anglo-Saxon
State in the Union ^nd should be kept so.
2. Conservation of natural resources, n
3. A continuation of federal aid' for
road construction in South Carolina.
4. A system of taxation that will place
the burden on those best able to bear it. and
a re,vision of the present inheritance tax law.
3. He opposes any interference with
land or credit banks and favors further de
velopment of thesetinstitutions for the finan
cial reliefiof the farmer.
6. Strict enforcement of the law. in
cluding the Volstead Act.
7. Abandonment of our national policy
or isolation. " —
8. Relief for the farmer trom the pres
ent unfair and inequitable high cost of trans
portation. The farmer has never received
proper dividends in keeping with his invest
ment and labor, and never will so long as he
is required to pay freight rates on his agn
cultural products double those charged for
other commodities.
9. He is opposed to the proposed 2/){h
Amendment to the Constitution, krjown as
“ The Child Labor Law, ’ which would pro
hibit the employment of children under 18
years of age. . .

more about the farmers of South Car
olina than my other man in the Stato,
and is th ' c-t posted man as to th<*

3. Because, “He is a South Caro
linian to the manner born, whose first
concern i t) he i f service to, his peo

quirer.
j. Because he illustrated his ir.-
ter«‘st for the agricultural classes and
mental agencies into one, thereby re
ducing the Cost of operation several
hundred thousand dollars. In addi
tion to the work now being done it
shall lx* the duty of this reorganized
agency to keep its eye or hand on tlvg

ter at all times the demand for Amer
ican goods or products and at tha
same time show the purchasing pov/-
er of those markets ami foreign coun
tries. It shall be authorized and di
rected to maintain proper trade rela
tions with foreign markets and sea
that the channels of trade between

kept open at all times, making it im
possible to have a business^, conges
tion like we are now going through,
or have a surplus of any commodity
in the' UNITED STATES while there
is an existing demand for any partic
ular commodity and a corresponding
ability to pay for it in aqy market of
the world.

congested and depressed conditions
now existing in the cotton mills of
this State and other sections, show-
ii^ tjrat. if the same relations existe l
between our government and manu
facturers as now exist between the

THE MAN TO SEND TO CONGRESS.
The Second District- being almost right man to represent us in Con-
entirely dependent on agriculture for
its prosperity, the voter- are realiz
ing more than ever that they will
have,to send a man to Congress who
is/ in full sympathy and accord with
farmers and laboring <Q3an. No oneTby his bold arid out-spoken stand for
gres«.
He has made a clean campaign, on
hi- own merits and not on the demer
its of others; although he may have
incurred the enmity of some interests
who ha- stydied the record of Mr.
Torile can but come to the conclusion
that by his long, faithful and sacri
ficial service in both the Senate and
House *>f Representatives, which
commends him as one who has the ex
perience. energy and pep. and is the
Li ''
law enforcement and temperance,
anil the championing of the cause of
the farmers and laboring people, and
the defense of the ex-soldiery From
an unbiased standpoint, Mr^Toole ia
