AMAN DEPICTS PROHIBITION
AS GREAT “NATIONAL CANCER”
Beaufort Lawyer

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.

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.

thv silted nations of Europe, has sent
millions to stnrkee arras of Japna.

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*

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. Ad of

to say nothing of the thousands that
have paid fines or seryed short terms
in local jails. 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.

year prior to prohibition was 100.000,-

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.
