Statement By Thomas H.Peeples, Candidate for the Short Term for United States Senate. I wish to say to the ne; ple of tiuth Carolina and my conttituen ts that I :iinI grateful for their confidence. cVi dlenced hv their libe'ral suippor~t wh has placed Ie as a caroilidc:itt in he ndrace for thei sig,,rt tera1I fr n1 rates senator. fIruish to, c:ll to tiwe :itte ntioin of every person iifierest"d th:t the record will bear in' out inl eveir ltivinig stood four-square on every issue' and princi ple that has beeii advaneed by our gov ernment in this time of strife, having been most profoundly in sympathy with the tllies from the incipiency o)f hostilities. I have been deeply con cerned since the cloud of war has hov ored over our great nation, and the rec ord will show that immediately upon a declaration of war I tenderedl my ser vices to the president land our nation and from him I received this acknowl edgement: "The president thanks you cordially for the good will which prompted your k intl message which has helped to reassure' hin and to keep him in heart, " and since have reassured my position and sincere interest in every way possible, as ie further evidenced by the following letter of .1une 17, 1918, uddressed to I r. .1ohin I.owell, chair town of the special connittee for war gervici, W ashingtin, ). '.: "I am in receipt of your letter of the I5th inst. enclosing inforimation card which is herewith returned. "1 wish to say that I at in the cam ftaign for governgor of this state, but nevertheless I stand realy to answer the call of my governtent at any time I may be needed. I will serve in any capacity and will do so for only my ac tual expenses. I would be glad to do so for nothing if I were financially able to support myself while in the service," I wired lion. Woodrow Wilson, presi dent of the United States, on April t;, 1917, as follows: "Since a state of witi has been declared between the linited States of America and Imperial Ger man government, I extend to you my services in any capacity." This tele gram expresses imly position now as well as then. This record is not shown as a niatter of defense, for my position needs no defense, and any insinuation or state ment to thle contrary by any man or set of men is wilful, deliberate and un true, and I further wish to) add that I am not running for an ol0iee that will detain ime long from theo service. T1he term of the oflice I now hold as at horney-general of South Carolina, to which I have been three times elected, will expire in January next, andl that of the short termi in the senate will ex pire on March 3rd next, and whether e'lected or defeated it will only be a short time before I will answer the call of rmy government under- the recent draft act, and will be with the boys who have gone forth in this great gause, and will do my part. then and there for my opponents and those against me in this election as freely as I will for those who are with me and have been with mae in this political am bi tion; and I am prouid to say the time has come, or will soon he at hand, when I can don the khaki in defense of our government~ and this~ great cause for humanity, liberty and justice. In the discharge of the duties by the one who is electeid to the Uinited States senate it is incumbient. upon lim i to co operate and exercise his every power to mid the president anid nation in every effort to carry forth to) a successful concluseion the great undertaking be fore the nation and the alliedl world. I am beartily in favor of sending every avail able man in America as went forth the ancient hosts of the Lord to bring vic tory and glory unto the cause of hu mani ty, and I reassure the people of South Caroliuia that my every effort will be set forth with this sole purpose in view, returning from the seat of the senate to the army to do my bit as ai soldier in actual service, wvhich I feel vill be a greater honor and for a nobler eense than any other in the sight of God and man. A.a to the other issues, the shor t term in the-senate would doubtless give no opportumity to bring them to a success ful conelusion. They can be properly presented and concluded in due course of time. As to this, I wish to reiterate that I believe in supporting labor in its legal efforts and protecting capital in its lawful investments, for they go hand in hand and their intercourses should bo- compatible. Also, that some enactments should be made to adjust the conditions of labor cnfningn th and withheld from those who refuse t< work on account of having this dona. tion from the government. The farm. era and homes in South Carolina arc feeling the effects of the independence of those who are sharing in this bounty. I do not believe in deprivations or in justice, but I do believe that the "work or light" system should apply to every able bodied man and woman in America today.
