That he is opposed to the renoinina- tion and reelection of President Franklin D. Roosevelt, and would campaign to that end, was branded as false here* this Week by Senator Ed gar A. Brown, of Barnwell, in com menting upon recent press reports to that effect. Senator Brown condemn ed in no uncertain terms the efforts • in some quarters to bore from within to weaken the Democratic party’s strength; and |ssued the following statement: ^ “My attention has been called to certain press- reports to the effect that, as a member cf the Southren Committee to Upholdi the Constitution, I would help lead a fight to prevent the renomination and reelection of President Roosevelt. This is a gross error. I have never been consulted nor communicated with in reference to opposing President Roosevelt’s re nomination and reelection, and noth ing could be further from my mind. I was a before Chicago Roosevelt man and participated-in practically instructing the South Carolina dele gation for Roosevelt. Like many of his friends, I perhaps do not agree with the President on certain features of the Recovery Program, but as long as President Roosevelt has the courage to forward march with his program, I have sufficient faith in him to co operate with every worthwhile policy to further the economic welfare and security of the people cf the United States. “In 1928, in order to preserve party regularity, I led the fight to retain Rule 32 of the State Democratic par ty. As a former State chairman of the party, a fermer speaker of the house of representatives, a candidate for the United States senate, member of the State executive committee for more than 20 years, as well as a member of the general assembly— house and senate—for 14 years, I have always been supported by the regular Democratic organization in the State, and there my political affilia tions will continue. , “I do not believe in ’stray cat’ or ganizations that would bore ~into the regular party strength.” He is survived by his widow, Mrs. Annie Scott Hair; two sons, David | designated 1 spot cotton markets is be- and Scott Hair,, of Barnwell; four low 12 cents on the date of sale of A Feast Story.
