SOLDIERS TAKE PART JUUbrems Ofre* Letter te Otber CeBgressMHUil Candidates Ask* M? i*r U Vtm'BHV* Cauuttee. Hon. Qeorge Bell Timmerman, candidate fer congress in the coming primary, has addressed the following open letter to the other candidates in the Face in regard to participation of returned soldiers in the primary to be held August 26: \ ? - 1 Lexington, Aug. 4, 191$. Messrs. John H. Cooper and C. S. Mon. teith, Columbia, S. C.; E, C. Mann, St. Matthews, S. C., and H. P. Fulmer, Norway, S. C._ Gentlemen: So far as I know, you are the only gentlemen, other thar myself, who have signified an intention to enter the special democratic primary as candidates for the nomination for congress in the Seventh district. I have been informed that the State commttee is of the opinion that only those enrolled for the last regular election will be allowed to vote in the approaching primary or primarires. This conclusion, as I am informed, is hased upon the fact that the act of the General Assembly regulating primary elections does not provide for epecial or additional enrollments for special elections. I am not prepared unqualifiedly, to subscribe to that opinion, for the reason: It might be forcefully contended that, in the absence of legislative enactment, the Snate committee ha9 the right to deal with questions such as this. The practical results of the position taken by the committee are: First, to deprive hundreds of brave young South Carolinians, who were in te uniform of their country last year at the time of the regular enrollment, from expressing a choice of a demon era tie nominee; second, to deprive numbers of young men, who have dona# jpf age , within the year, from voting in the primary; and, third, to deprive others, who enrolled last year tor the regular primary, fem patici?atin? in it this yeafrt because they have since that time changed theipj place of residence. It appears to be a strained con? atruction that would deny these good democrats, and equally good citizens, the rights to express a choice of a democrat! e nominee for congress from this district.

It ?3 rfgrht they should have this opportunity; and, besides, there are other obviously food reasons why they should be pee- j mitted to veto at this time. It is not i only desirable, but manifestly vocesI | sary that the interest of all rood den?- 1 J [ ocrata be aroused m the app roach tag'; i elections.

Therefore, some means should be adopted to allow them to participate in the selection of the nominee. To accomplish this result, I propose that we petition the State Committee to adopt a plan and provide ways and means whereby these people will be allowed to vote in the primary; and that we pledge ourselves, in writing, to abide the result of the primary so conducted. It seems to me. | if we agree to this arrangement there | will be no one else rightfully to com- i plain.
