AMAN DEPICTS PROHIBITION AS GREAT “NATIONAL CANCER” Beaufort Lawyer Gains Ground in Congress Contest Says Anarchy Inevitable If Present Condi tions Continue. Claude M. Aman, candidate for Coaffresg from the Second District and prominent attorney of the Beaufort kar. in submitting his position on the various issues of his race, makes no it to paint s glowing picture of tlf, but coniines his remarks sole ly to what he expects to do if elected. Mr. Aman only points to his record la 20 years of practicing law to iden tify himself 8 are hts announcement that he make the rsce oa s platfonO ting himself to the service of of his district snd State. Mr. Aman has been bea*eged with fcavitatu>a« to apeak and assurances of On s visit to this city a few «*. he declared his p are asetiag pepolar lai recepoeae far beyond h « ewe ees ef the rampage ef the sees, V moaaads ef voters hevo aasered him mde rook See re la I a hie hams fee pro- wilt he the neat ( em it may be. It merely makes it simpls for those manufacturers to make their stuff cheap and gell it high— they buy the raw product at a song and sell the finished goods at a for tune. The Southern farmer comes in for the raw end of the deal both ways. Those big, fat, rich fellows tell u s what they will pay us for raw cotton and charge us what they please for yellow homespun and the scores of other things we have to buy that are made from eleven cent Southern cot ton. But there’s a remedy and a man who if sent to Congress from your district, will work tooth and toenail to apply it. I am the man, and here is the remedy. AMAN’S PRESCRIPTION. Payment, by the Government, of interest on federal farm loans and provision for extension of such loans for a period of ten years. This would make bonds for these loans perfectly marketable. The Government, through it* Federal Reserve System, has millions in the treasury as earn ings by the reserve, so there is money with which to do this. Some will say the Government might as well be giving the money to the farmers Suppose that were tree. Uncle Sam has given BILLIONS to thv silted nations of Europe, has sent millions to stnrkee arras of Japna. has offrrrd whalevrr was nrrdsd In thr rsrthquak* son* of Italy, WHY NOT DO SOMETHING FOB YOU8 OWN PEOPLE * TW Whom farm er ts certainly STRICKEN, tn an through the crisis now facing him, they should be willing to trust the farmer to look out for the security he gives his government. AMAN ON LABOR AFFAIRS. Textile workers constitute a large portion of our State’s population and any legislative body should take them into serious consideration in framing its course. If I go to Congress, I shall advocate and work unreservedly for a strict eight-hour law for textile mills. Con ditions in the mill towns now are shocking in many instances. The people, though ready and anxious to make their way honestly in the world, are actually facing starvation. PROHIBITION—THE NATIONAL CANCER. Ten years of prohibition has pro duced what must be a sinister omen to the civilization of the nation. It has presented and is before ua today as a far more serious question than slavery. It it corroding society, de stroying the sanctity of the home and sating like some loathsome cancerous growth at ths moral fiber of the whole country. The country cannot sonrree half dry and half wot Oar people mas* realise that we oar net Isa si #elf- he v# a right to take a the American Constitution. It is the sworn duty of the President of the United States to uphold and enforce it.- Yet President Hoover refers to it as “an experiment, noble in motive.” The President appointed what was known as the Wickersham committee to determine the reason for the revolt against prohibition. The high spot of their report wa s that it could not be enforced except by denying the most ancient right of English-speak ing people—the right of trial by jury. A SOBER NATION? Has prohibition wrought that which was visualized by the Anti-Saloon League and its high-salaried minions ten years ago? Let’s take a look at Washington, one of the world’s roost beautiful cities and the very driest town in the whole country. It is in Washington that the prohibition bureau trice to build its model of aridity. According to cold, actual statistics from the records, there wete two and a half times as many arrests in Washington for drunkenness in 1928 as there were ia Greater London which hs« more than 9,000,000 population.

More than 2,600 people are arrested each week for violating the prohibition law, 76 per cent of whom have never been arrested for any other offense. It is estimated that one-twelfth of our population is interested directly or indirectly in bootlegging. Alcohol insanity has multiplied many times and every asylum in the United States is overcrowded. MILLIONS FOR PRISONS. More than 840,000,000 has been spent by the Federal Government and the various States since 1919 to build new prisons, to house American citi zens for violating thi s so-called sacred law. According to an estimate by Dr. Doran, head of the prohibition ad ministration in the Unitel States, there was 820,000,000 gallons of con traband liquor either distilled or smuggled in the United States in the year 1929. The moat this coeatry used ia any year prior to prohibition was 100.000,- 000 gaDoaa. Baaed upon the quantity of liquor la the United Slate* la 1999. there era* loot la taaee to Federal. State. County aaq Cwy ef enforcement. out of men and women that have al ways lived honestly, because the law is not founded in the conscience of the people, they have changed their minds and turned their backs on prohibition and now advocate its re peal. And who do you find on the side of prohibition ? The so-called “Drys” present a perfectly balanced picture. We see in the center, the great Bishop Cannon, dignitary of one of the great est Protestant denominations on the globe. He is robed in white, a symbol of purity and righteousness, in spite of his bucketshop activities. Holding his right hand is F. Scott McBride, of the Anti-Saloon League, and to his left, that faf, porcine, brutish figure, the Bootlegger. The three are there, inseparable as long as prohibition is before you. Cannon and McBride cannot truthfully deny it. AMA.VS POSITION.
