Why We cAre Supporting Him We were asked the other day why we are supporting John A Horton for con gress. While it is our right to support anybody we want to without telling why, we are glad to tell why we are supporting Mr. Horton. First, we know him to be a clean, honest and capable man. Second, on account of his platform. The Sentinel will be satisfied with whoever is elected to congress. Who ever the majority of the people want suits us. But we would not feel right about it, knowing Mr. Horton as we do and his desire to be of service to the people, if we did not strongly call their attention to their opportunity of elect ing to represent them in the great est law-making body in the world a man who could represent them so well. The office he offers for needs him far more than he needs it. If he is not elected it will be the people of this district, and not Horton, who will be the losers. If the people ever expect to get any helpful legislation from the goventint they must elect represeAtatives' who are in sympathy with them. To each voter we say, Vote for the man whom you think will representyou best. We have called your attention to this man who is clean, honest and cap able; who by his own efforts and hard work has made himself what he is to day, and who is in sympathy with the common people. We have done our duty by you and our conscience is clear. We will say here that we believe Hor ton will be elected and when we see what a good congressman he makes we will all be glad that we voted for him. Here is Mr. Horton's platform: I am a firm believer in the rule of the people. I regard a public offiee as a pjublic trust and the holder thereof as a servant of the whole people, to whom he owes a faithful, honest and conscientious service. A strong advocate of Rural Credits cheap money direct from the govern ment to the farmers on long, easy pay. ments. Am in favor of a tarriff for revenu4 only, and will urge the lowest possibb rates on the necessities of life with thi highest rates on the luxuries. In orde to meet the demand for increased reve nue, I favor an~increased tax on incomne and inheritances. I am a believer in labor and farmert organizations, and they will find in m a true friend. The safety, comfori health and rights of all laborers shoul be safeguarded by full and adequet aws. I advocate federal aid for our pos . roads. Am in favor of the "literacy test" a to immigration, and further safeguart ing the interests of laborers against th contpetition of foreign pauper labor.. Will give all interests and classes ii honest, square deal. A representative who will give activ personal attention to the-'duties of th office. Those who are under the Civii Servic atnd have charges preferred againm them should be allowed free accesst the papers in their eases and,' see wha the charges are and who preferre them, Anything short of that . is' nc giving the accused a square deal, A rman from ;the people, who know -th~eir needs.

We heard that on man, who lost practically all the pr@ erty be had; accumulated in his life, as that If an attempt was ever made tora build' the dr he would dynamite Iti it cost him his life.

Robert Martin .Pick'ens entinel, Pickens, S.C. -Dear Mr. Editor:-In your issue of August 10th, under the heading of "Solicitor's Itace," there appears a column and a hau as a political advertisement of 6ne ol y opponents, Mr. J. D. Lanford. In t t article he purports to quote fromthe Greenville News, but in doing o, quotes what was stated in the reenville News under his own paid-for, wn written-up, advertisement. As Mr. Lanford in a subsequent paid for and written-up advertisement ap pearing in the Greenville News of Au gust.11th, states, "I would be Untrue to myself, my friends and my God, should I endeavor to secure the votes of you pepple by misrepresentation and concealments." I take it that I would be doing Mr. Lanford, as well as my selflandi-.hher candidates for the office of solicitor, a kind favor of keeping the record straight by pointing out to him and the people that 4is' quotation in your issue above named is of his own 431g'4 fid not that ot the Greenville News. . Thanking you to publish this, I re main, Yours respectfully, -Adv. J. ROT. MARTIN. A Card From Mr. Baker To the Editor of The Medium: As;aresult of the four letters pub. lished'by me in the Medium about Mr. Aiken's- public record in connection with LCivil Service appointment's in the Third District, which he could not answer, he tooj<.advantage of his privilege as a ,represent'ative in Congress and made at attack en me on July 18, on the floor of the House of Representatives, where am not permitted to reply. The chargei Smade in his speech he only delivered ir part werw malicious and false and n<4 thonorable and no brave man would make them in the place where' he did. He a knows he was fully protected fron - criminal punishment and civil damage: e by the following clause in the Constitu tionof the United States: ". . .- Representatives . . . .shall min all cases . . . . be privileged e from arrest during their attendance at the sesion . . . . ; and for ANY SPEECH or debate in either House, T HEY. $H ALL NOT BE QUES t TIONED IN ANY OT HER PLACE" lh0Eiirtected Mr. Aiken proceeds to send his false and slanderous state tmnents through the mail under his frank n privilege free and at the govern ~ et's Je#pense. 4should be remembered that Mr Aiken's attack on me before the demo *craitjec caucus in March, 1913, embrace< thk bh arges now~nmade by him, and af ter an investigation of them my elec -tion as Secretary of the Senate of th United States was made unanimous 'Again, last winter, he repeated his at -tempts to Jnjure me by mailing the same charges to a great many S'enatori ankd11ewspaper representatIves in Wash ing ton. M r. Aiken's malicious meannesssem unbouided, and he should take unto him self tire old saying "man know thy self.4 H~ lever, I am content in know Ing that I have the respect and goot willf those who have honored me witi the, Secretaryship of the United State: Senate.~ . .Mr. Aiken is a candidate for Congress I Am not. 'The people of the Third die tritdt have lo interest in his personal at tacks on me, nor in my opinion of him, but they' are interested in his public records and his acts as a Congressman. He says: "My recortd as a member of Congress is open to the public." But lPg. Aiken mnust be judged by his conduct and not by his protestations. He knows that he filed charges againsi Andkews at Willington, who was exon. erated by the Department and appdint. ed postrnaster; also that he filed charges With' 'Magnolia Balm. Look as good an your city cousin.. No matter if you do Tan or Freckle Magnolia Balm, will surely clear your skin indtantly. Heal. Sunburn, too.

N.Y. against young "Neutffer at Abbeville, whose relatives and friends lost no time in demanding to know the nature of the charges and by whom filed, which caus ed Mr. Aiken to withdraw the charges and request the Department toconsider the matter CONFIDENTIAL;he knows he permitted charges to stand against W. I. Sutherland at Mt. Carmel and W. J. Evans at Abbeville, and against E. A. Lewis and P. L. Green at Salem, Oconee county, without giving them an opportunity to answer; he knows that he opposed the appointment of Mrs. Tucker as postmistress at Lowndes ville, and held up the appointment of Robinson at Troy. All these persons stood Civil Service examinations. Can this be called an "open record." These are the matters that I discusp in the columns of the Medium in a fair and respectful way, but the truth hurts and he replies with vituperation and abuse in a forum wherte he is fully pro tected by law. .The following letter is an illustration of Mr. Aiken's unfair and false methods. The statement contained in this letteir is false, and is shown to be false by the files of the Abbeville Medium: "Washington, D. C., June 29, 1916. Hon. Albert S. Burleson, Postmaster General. Dear Sir: Several weeks ago James M. Baker, Secretary of the Senate, published sev eral attacks on me in a newspaper in my home county and ir -ne of his lying tirades he made the charge that you, POSTMASTER GENERAL BURLE SON, HAD ORDERED ME (AIKEN) FROM YOUR OFFICE AND FOR ME TO NEVER AGAIN ENTER THERE; THAT YOU WOULD HAVE NOTH ING TO DO WITH ME, ETC. I know nothing of any such occur ence and would be glad if you would write me sbOut it if you know anything about it. .. Yours very respectfully, (Signed) WYATT AIKEN p Member of Congress, Third S. C. Hon. Wyatt Aiken, House of Representatives. My dear Sir; This is to acknowledge receipt of your letter of June 29th. Of course, it is unnecessary for me to say to you that no such instance as that referred to in your letter ever took place.. Very truly yours, (Signed) A. S. BURLESON, Postmaster General. The above is a straight, bare-faced falsehood, a frame-up for political pur poses and use. Mr. Aiken's record is not "open to the public" and the persons involved as above named are living witnesses to prove that his statement is false. For the lack of time I have been unable to examipe the files of the .Department in all ciyll service appointments in the Third District. However, I inquired about a certain civil service case'and was convinced the files did not furnish a full disclosure of the facts. I was in 'formed that letters had been received Sfrom Mr. Alken, which he requested shoutd not be made a part of the files but ?hould be treated as "confidential." - Therefore I was uhable to6 ascertain all the facts about the civil service case in which-- Mr. Aiken. had filed charges - against the party involved. If these I CONFIDENTIAL letters were publish - ed in the Third District public senti ment would force Mr. Alken's retire ment from this Congressional race. If the people want to vote for Mr. Alken with such a record as his has been shown to be, it is their right and i privilege to do so. - Respectfully, .JAME4 M. BAKEa. 1 (Note.)-Will the Editor of the Medi um please examine the files of the Medium and, state if I made any such such statement as that quoted in Mr. I Alken's letter to the Post Master Gen o ral. J. M. B. (Editorial Note.) -The files of The Medium do not show that Mr.' Baker made any such statement as claimed by Mr. Aiken in his letter to Mr. Burlesoni August 9th, 1916.
