Miller Mr. Editor: If you will indulge th i writer I shall endeavor to place a few facts before the readers of your paper, n a condensed form; facts that the pub lic hasn't learned, as the pressbias beer very limited in making known to th< people. I am writing concerning th( action of the State Democratic execu tive committee that met after the Iasi primary to hear the complaints fron the different counties and to declare the election of the primary. We learnet that there were complaints of fraud, in, timidation, coercion, etc. Now, Mr, Editor, I have investigated the questior along with many others from the vari ous counties of the state. What did w( learn to our surprise? That there weri about fifteen hundred sworn complainti that came before the state committec to la investigated. What did they dol This state executive committee waE thought to be white democrats, dealing with white democrats, so we as demo. crats Could settle our differences among ourselves, and keep ths negro outas fai as the primary was concerned. Now, we know the anti-Blease faction waE greatly in the majority. I am fearfu that a majority of this committce whicl refused to hear these hundreds of sworr complaints of various kinds will licai the condemnation of all true and trie< democrats of this state heaped upor them for this inconsistency, treating justice and right with contempt. Oh, yes, in 1912 when Blease was countet in over Jones, the complaint was "ther< is fraud in the primary." Complaint: came in and what did they do? Thi: committee was anti-Blease then. Di< Blease object to having the primary in vestigrted? No, Blease told them t investigate as much as they pleased that he didn't want the nomination ii it was tainted with fraud. That, Mr. Editor, "spells" a true, honest, whit( democrat. Now, Mr. Editor, as I have seen many of these sworn statementE of where men were threatened witi foreclosure of mortgages of their homes if they voted for Blease, many threats of closing papers on their household goods, turning them out into the street or big road without anything except their wearing apparel, others threaten ed with suspension of their jobs, many of their sworn statements had various bills of money pinned to them that had been given them to vote for R. I. Man ning. Now, Mr. Editor, in conclusion I want to say to every white voting citi zen to obliterate all malice and hatred that might have been caused by a one sided press and see what we are coming to, with the corporations and moneyed interests swaying the masses of the people, intimididatig, coercing, threat enmng them with their money and infiu ence, to do their bidding, not allowing a hearing on the violating of the pri mary election lawvs. They have bought you like cattle and scared you like sheeP. Now, like the slaves of old, we wvill pay no attention to your grievances. That has been the slogan of capitalists since Abraham. (Gen. 14 clh.) Now let us as true Americans, an white South Carolina (democrats, place the seal of our disfavor upon this state committee ruling and its nominee at the ballot box on November 7, and make caution to future committees and nom. inees.
