The people of the Second Dis trict know that record, they know Mr. Hare’s high standing in Congress, and any criticism of his record from any aouice very likely will not carry far with many voters of the Second District. We could give an almost endless chain of constructive acheivements on the part of Mr. Hare in Congress, but space does not permit. Anyway, the people of the Second District know that record already as just mentioned above. That record has spoken for itself in the press of the State and nation during the years Mr. Hare has Dr. Trad C Brinkley The Allendale Thanks, brother. ly and convincingly than we can pre sent it in this connection.

I noticed that he used the same (stoffedl Ash I used last summer when I had my picture and the Ash’s pic ture taken to lie about. Another sucker exposed. The voters of the Second Congres- siona district of South Carolina soon mutt decide whether they will keep In Cungrre* s man who has been through the Are. so to speak, and haa not been fcund wanting, or whether they will send to the low.making body of the nation rnsUad a man who haa not passed the test of Congressional ability and consequently is an un known quantity in that respect. But ler B Here's record stamps him as a faithful, alert and very efficient ser vant of the people of his district, and we feel ronAdent that in richly-deserv ed recognition of his great usefulness ia Congres* hr will hr rt*elected by a large majority. That is the only res ile conclusion thst can be rhed regarding the matter of re- rting to any responsible position a who has been found to he the right pers on m the right place, oa is so unquestionably true of Mr. Here as abundantly teetiAed by his veeord for three term* in Congress. With *o able and high-pnncipled a ■sea already representing them in Congreis. we cannot bring ourselves to enteita n the slightest belief that the people tf the Second District will “awsp horse* in the middle of the stream" in these times of serious problems and tribulations when men of proved worth, honesty and integ rity are direly needed at the helm to direct affair* of government, and put in his place any person who is an un known quantity when it comes to congressional ability. The masses of the voters are conservative and simp ly don’t do things that way. In other words, they are not quick to change a good and able man, who has been through the Are and stress of long ex- perience, for one who has not been in position to become acquainted wjth the duties and requirements of the office that he may be seeking. Even before Mr. Hare was elected to Congress the Ar&t time he was eminently qualiAed for the position by reason of big long training and experience in connection with his duties while serving various depart- —ta of the federal government both hi this State and in Washington, the seat of congressional and to many other governmental activities.
