The Press and Standard de* ‘ uirf»« tn annnnnr^ thun til)* sire* to announce thus briefly the Interefrtiiut (setter tn Mate (Tiairman followinK candidates for the various ^ Kvan* CalU Attcmfioa to Evib» AH>ioa—Kalae« g«»e«tka»* hfftees. They each and all pledge themselves to abide the results <Jf the .Democratic primaries and to support the nominees of the party: The following letter from County Chaiiman M. P. Howell to State Chairman John Gary Eva^s. is full of interest just now to the people of the county. Mr. Howell in this let ter calls attention to several tenden- t ies which he thinks if unc&frked will result in disrupting the party machinery, such as making elec tions to* expensive to permit men of small means making a race, and the tendency to buying votes. He thinks the counties should get some reven ue from the Congressional candi dates and fronvVandidates for So- j licitor. His letter follows: Walterboro. 8. C.. July 15. 1916. Hon. Johtw Gary Evans, Chairman of the State Demo cratic "Committee, Spartanburg. 8. C. Dear Sir: I have received your letter of the 14th Inst., in which you enclose copies of an appeal to the Demo crats of the State to contribute to the National party campaign fund. I realixe that this is the most im portant election to the South since 1S60, and I shall take pleasure in placing a copy of the appeal in the hand*'of the president of every Democv *tic slob in Colleton county. I aincei «!y hope that we can collect at least <'ne dollar from each and every Den ocrat In this county. 1 wish lo call your attention in this letter ‘to another matter which as Couny Chairman gives me great • oncern. As I>emocrats interested in preserving the primary system, which is the only plah which will Insure to the humblest citizen an equal voice in our government, we must se^ to it that the matter of running for office in this State shall not become a question of money. If the time ever comes when only the rich may become candidates, and when the richest candidate, by rea son of his ability to spend money in his behalf, is sure of election then I am ready to sever my connection with party machinery. It is common knowledge that in the past in certain localities money has been shamelessly used lo in fluence elections. , Honest Demo crats have heretofore stood by un- protesting. We have been nuirti- fi« d and made indignant, hut we have Hot acted. I have slatcsl to the ftemocrats of this county that I shall not tolerate the improper use of money in the approaching election. I expect to see to it personally' that every can didate or voter who violates the law in tliis regard in Colleton coun ty will be arrested »nd tried, wlthi out regard •*» personalities. 1 now call on you to give atten tion to this matter an.| co-operate with m»>. You phould let it ti,> known that we do not intend in the future to look away from the obvious and permit, the growth of a prac tice which will destroy our system of government. Our entire party machinery should l>e put in motion to prevent the us,» of money in our tleclions. and we should not be afraid to arrest and punish the guilty. Another matter. Under the rules of our party the expense of conduct ing a county campaign has become burdensome. In this county we have found it necessary to assess cfeidi- dates heavilv to meet the necessary- expenses. This ought not to be the case, since it prevents borne poor but worthy men from seeking office. Especially is this true of those of fices. such as members of the House of Representative*, which pay only actual expenses. I ani fold that an assessment of is placed on FOR CONGRESS J AS. G.
