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.

Card From J. 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:

Aiken's- public record in connection with
LCivil Service appointment's in the Third
District, which he could not answer, he

He says:

But lPg. Aiken mnust be judged by his

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
