I have had considrable dealings with him ever since and have always found him fair, upright and honest. j His business has naturally gr?wn under such management and is \ now one of the largest in the County. He is a successful farmer, merchant and banker. I attribute his w-onderful success ! to his good business ability, his uprightness in dealing with his j fellow men and his sordini tn + i - ...w.vah iu n?e "cuaic u; iiumuxuiy. xie ^ jjfl has time and again sought out those in need and helped them and ig induced others to help. ? I have watched his career in business and religion and see . 59 there is something deeper than mere business ability?that is, he N. gS has the character behind it all. Unless a man have character to 9 back up the other qualifications, he is not the man we want to 9 represent us. ?9 His stand in the legislature was for the economical expenditure \ jS8 of the taxpayers' hard earned money and for the masses against 91 the "Interests" and the rule of the few and he was able to combat jgfl these things on the floor of the House of Representatives. In | ffigj one of bis speeches he said: "Gentlemen, if T were to conduct my 89 personal business like you propose to run the Suite's business, I if ufl would be broke in less than twelve months. The only reason why jaW South Carolina is not bankrupt today is because she has the pock- * ? ets of the taxpayers to fall back on." f t8B The time has come when we need good, sound business men fin in politics: men in direct contact with the agricultural interest v 99 of the South so we may get legislation fair to the people who KB clothe and feed the world. 9H Let's stand behind Kulmer in this race, for his record in home | ||1B politics is evidence enough that he will represent the masses of wH h people in our National Government.
