Son-in-law Longworth, the adlinistration cut-up, appears to be ? nging low nowadays. nc pi Truth crushed to earth may rise m; gain, but it has a tough time du- ^ ng political campaigns. Weill we know that we lack a ^ diole lot of being perfect in South larolina but we will take advice in igards to honesty from somebody .se besides Jno. G. Capers if you lease! We want to urge the voters to go > the polls on Tuesday and cast tin leir ballots for principle. This is th( Dt cnlya duty but a privilege.

Hundreds of no ousands of dollars have been Slt ised for campaigning purposes py d *ens of thousands of speeches ive been made all over the U.

However "the pocket nerve" is become so abnormially sensitive sp, at it is hard to tell just what peo- f e will do. A few years ago when iel, illy and Browne corneerd the cot- ^r0 n market a large number of the ^OI , . mo rmers were benefitted financially ^ id these men were heralded as g\*lT eat benefactors to the South. The !eai osperity that they brought was the mormal and the means used clo as the very thing that we want to , e put out of business, gambling in fj0, tures,. A few gained what millions wh it. The Republican policy of tall inging prosperity is based on such ne> ?"r. ;thods as Sully and Browne used ^ ' d is absolutely delusive and ab- j , rmal and injurious to the masses. anc ie American people cannot afford ocr lei this thing continue.
