WHAT THE PEOPLE WANT TO
KNOW.
THE PEOPLE WANT RAGSDALE
TO EXPLAIN SOME OF
THE THINGS THAT HE HAS NOT
YET MADE ANY" SATISFACTORY
EXPLANATION OF. The people
want to know.
HOW RAGSDALE EXPLAINS
the appointment of Whiting as his
clerk, drawing from the Government
$125 each month for two years as
Whiting's salary, when Whiting never
performed a day's service, but con
tinued in Florence where he ran
Ragsdale's law office as Ragsdale's
partner at law. WHEN
THE UNITED STATES STATUTES
PROVIDE THAT:
"All CLERKS to Members
SHALL he placed on the roll ot"
employees of the House.
(Act of Auj;. 23, 1912, ch 350
Fed. Stat. Ann., Sup. 1914, p.
47.)
"NO EMPLOYEE of Congress,
either in the Senate or House,
shall sublet to, or hire, another
to do or perforin any part of the
duties or work attached to the
position to which he was appointed.
(28 Stat. L. 771.
'It shall not he lawful to REQUIRE
OR PERMIT any person
in the employ of the House of
Representatives TO SUBLET
TO ANOTHER the discharge
ANY portion of the duties of the
position to w 1 Jch he is appointed.
' I lie violation of any of the
foregoing provisions of law .shall,
upon nsccrtaininnet thereof, be
deemed to be cause for removal
from oflice, (31 Stat. L. 9,682
Fed. Stat. Anno.?231.)
How in view of these statutes does
Kagsdale explain his appointment of
Pettigrew to the same position, draw
ing from the Government $125 per
month as Pettigrew's salary for
nearly two years, when Pettjgrew
never left Florence but remained
tlure as cashier of Kugsdale's bank.
How does Ragsdale explain his
conduct in procuring for Penny an
appointment for 30 days to a Government
job that paid $100 per
month, then collecting in Penny's
name the $100 for work which Penny
never performed and applying the
same in part to the payment of Penny's
debt in his, Ragsdale's bank and
i\\ part to the payment of a man in
Washington who did the work?IN
VIEW OF THE STATUTE QUOTED
ABOVE.
How does Ragsdale justify the use
of salary, drawn by him in the names

v/i. T! t i ? ? V 4 4 L Vtl 1 V >A llIMI 1 L II I I \ |
who never did a day's work in the
positions to which they were appointed,
to the payment of other men,
whom, he says, he took to Washington
WHEN the explicit words of the
statute prohibits drawing salary ir.
the name of one man and paying it
t0 another? Is Ragsdale above the
law ? 3 - ^ ? <?1
Why does Ragsdale COMPLETE-1
| LY Hi NOR E THE LAW in these
cases and seek to justify himself by
deealring tnat OTHERS ARE DOING
1 H.E SAMK? Does he not know that
every criminal might justify his law!
1 ss acts if such pleas were aceopt1
able ?
i HOW HOES KAGSDALE EXPLAIN
his claim that he got the re- (
liof for the flood sufferers when
Congressman Whaley's statement
and the Congressional Record absoI
lufely disprove his claim?
> HOW DOES RAGSDALE EX*
i PLAIN his assertion that he gave
Conway a 12 foot channel 80 feet
wide, when the project for the im
i provement of the Waccamaw River
- on this basis was approved in 1884
3! and was nearly 80 per eent complete
when Ragsdale went to Congress?
Ragsdale got only $40,000 up to the
- close of 1915 of the $285,000 which
e has been appropriated for the work,
y Even Ellerbe got $55,000 the last
year he was in Congress.
HOW DOES RAGSDALE EX.
e PLAIN his appointments of Posty
masters in Horry County, putting th*
it postoflice in Conway way back on c
back street and the miscarriage ol
rural routes at Allsbrook and Loris'
s AND HOW DOES HE EXPLAIN hh

OTI Sixth Congressional District j* 1
Ml As many of you were unable to attend the Congressional ^
JM campaign meetings, I feel that it is not only my privilege, but a ^
duty which I owe to you as well as to myself, to put myself on ^
m record as to the issues involved in this campaign. ^
|^\| I feel that I have run a good race, that I have fought a ir
^^^x good fight, that I have kept the faith; for I have endeavored to ir
^X make this a campaign of measures, not of men, of issues in^x
stead of personalities. I have done no mud-slinging, either in
^x public or private. I have heaped neither abuse nor ridicule
^x upon my opponents. I have offered myself as a candidate upon
^x my own merits, and not on the demerits of anyone else. I
^X believe that I am qualified to properly represent this District.
^x I feel that the time has come when our people want clean poli- Jy
Ixxl tics, when they will demand, above all else, that a candidate for Jy
in"
^x any office must be a man of high character. I believe that the
^x people of the District will utterly condemn the use of money in
xx elections, and that they will think any man who tries to buy his jjr 1
^x election, wants office for opportunities of personal gain instead
^X of public service.
^F I stand for Democratic principles; and am in thorough xX
^F accord with our National Administration upon all of its great X^
Jf policies. I believe that the prosperity and welfare of the naJF
tion. and especially of the South, depend to a very large degree VX
Jf upon the continuation in power of the Democratic party under
the wise leader-ship of Woodrow Wilson. The things which
have been accomplished in the last three years have done us
Jr great good, but much more remains to be done.
I I believe that the need for further preparedness of this
5 Nation against the possibility of war is a very real and serious
one. I stand for a large army, thoroughly equipped, and a ^
navy second in size and power only to that of England.
^ I stand for the extension of activity by the Federal
Government in farm demonstration work, the building of good
roads, and reclaiming our swamp lands by a proper drainage
j I stand for laws which will give justice to both labor and
J capital, which will tend to prevent both strikes and lockouts.
|jL> I want to express to my friends and supporters my ap
I prociation of the good wprk they arc doing in my behalf, and to I
! I say to them that their efforts are being successful to a most
1 gratifying degree. My friends and I are jubilant over my prosvL
poets. Letters bearing assurances of support are pouring in,
yx bringing the glad tidings of success. My friends are finding
xL my support stronger than they had even hoped it could be.
! The crown of victory seems to be within my grasp?I
only want to urge my friends to keep up their efforts in my
behalf until the primary.
