In announcing his candidacy for Congress, John C. Taylor, of Anderson, has re-affirmed his po sition of eight years ago that A- merica should adopt, and follow through to successful conclusion, a far-reaching program of national defense that will leave no doubt in the minds of international thugs that the United States will not tolerate invasion of her rights or conquest of her territories. Mr. Taylor has always advocated a strong preparedness program for the United States, contending that it is our best insurance of peace. The soundness of Mr. Taylor’s views is errohasized by interna tional developments In general during the last few years, and particularly in recent months. “I know that Americans want peace, and believe in peace so long as it can be maintained honor ably,” he said. “But it is unadult erated lolly to seek peace in a world filled with international banditry, without a defense force second to none in the whole world. We must serve notice on the inter national thugs and dictators that we will tolerate no attempt to in vade our rights or grab our pos sessions. As Americans, we have not lost sight of the fact that the blessings of this Democracy, in cluding religious freedom, and the rights of our people to enjoy free speech and a free press, were bought of the blood of our fore fathers, who resisted tyranny with shot and steel. It is a noble heri tage and we are willing to pay that price again to maintain it. “As a general principle, I am opposed to sending our boys to Europe to engage in the age-old conflicts that are born of the hates and intrigues of that hemisphere. We should give every material assis tance to the Allies, short of man power, determining all the while JOHN C. TAYLOR to put our own house in order for any eventualities here at home. “I am in full sympathy with the defense program laid down by President Roosevelt.” Mr. Taylor was first elected ii Congress in 1932 and served th~ Third District for three consecu tive terms. He is a native of An derson County and for twelve years served as clerk of court. As a youth he worked for years in the Chiquola Mill, obtaining his education there and later at the University of South Carolina by working his way through school. He is a World War veteran, per sonally and politically a dry, is married and has two sons. Drug Store Specials We will have specials throughout the store continuous ly every day.
