I believe that I am entitled to ask your vote on my record of experience in the office of the Board for the past four years. I have honestly tried at all times to work in behalf of the people of the coun ty. I have stood by what I knew to be right when I knew it would cost me votes. There have of course been disagree ments among board members but no one can charge that I disagreed with any board member for selfish reasons. I do not be lieve the people of this county expect me or any other office holder to be a rubber stamp for anyone. When the record of Paul Haile is fi nally read it will show four years of look ing after the interest of every taxpayer. I can and will work in harmony with any of the four gentlemen now running tor Commissioner, just as I have tried to do in the past.

LOMINICK BODY RECLINES TO RECOUNT (Continued from page one) mind that the present political mach ine of the city of Charleston gave me the rawest conceivable deal in certain wards of the city of Charleston." “We are not putting the stamp of approval on anything that has been done in Charleston, but we have de clared the nominee of the party and that is all we can do,” Mann said in raising his point. The utmost in beauty, style and value! OP TIME" i7JEWELS *292 GODDESS OF TIME ”C” 17 |.w.U *297* COMMODORE 17 |«w.U *297* Small Payment Down; $1 Weekly W. E. TURNER Jeweler “I grant you,” H. Klugh Purdy, Sr., of Ridgeland told Rivers, “that all conditicns down there are just like you say, I agree with you fully, but what can we do?” Olin Sawyer of Georgetown, whfe said he felt “the long fihgers of that Charleston machine across the Santee river into my county” in the cam paign in which he beat Veteran S. M. Ward for the Georgetown senate seat, congratulated Rivers on “beating that machine.” “We all love old Charleston” he said, “but they do have the damnedest politics.” He supported Rivers’ plea for a recount. “We are all too inclined,” Sawyer said, “to say, ‘it’s politics,’ and lei it go. But that is the sort of attitude that changes governments. I can’t see any harm in opening up the boxes and counting the votes again to show everybody that we hav e nothing to hide” J. M. Moorer of Colleton, said Rivers made “A showing of irregu larities and palpable fraud. He should be congratulated in calling it to our attention if he thought there was fraud.” “I maintain,” said Moorer, “it is our duty to make some investigation. In three other elections this very matter has been brought up and it is going to continue to be brought up until good men like Mr. Rivers do something about it.” He said he believed the “good vote" Rivers got in other counties of the district “was in anticipation of what the people of those counties believe it would be done to him in the city of Charleston.” Not Only Place Saying Charleston was not “the onb place in South Carolina that has political irregularities,” Edgar A. Brown of Barnwell declared: “It doesn’t do us any good to carry on this argument at a time like this when the national party is facing a critical election.” N. W. Edens of Bennettsville asked. “Why should we continue to give back hand blows at Charleston. We are running a back trail. Mr. VonKolnitz took his shellacking like a man. There is not a peep out of him. He accused Rivers of trying to “smear” Von Kolnitz the defeated candidate. “You can’t charge me with that,” Rivers said. “I won’t stand for you to say I have come here to smear him. Fritz VonKolnitz is an honorable man.” Mr. Edens, a moment later arose and said he believed he was in error as to Rivers’ having mentioned his op ponent’s name. The official vote in the race was 18,523 for Rivers and 15,413 for Von Kolnitz, and so Rivers was declared the party nominee.

James H. Hamond of Columbia protested against the vote being de clared “on the grounds that the ques tion is not settled.” “I believe that the people have been misled by the wording of the ballot and I believe that the people who be lieve in prohibition were fooled. On what will tax be put to replace the revenue lost when legal liquor stores are out? I protest the vote on the ground that it puts a question before the legislature it can’t solve.” he said. Here John G. Richards former gov- ernor of Kershaw county arose to re- mark, “The drys knew what they were doing when they voted. And I want to hear the vote in that election read.” The committee voted to return the entrance fee paid by the late Ran dolph Murdaugh, Sr., of Hampton, who was killed in an accident after he had entered the solicitorial race. His son qualified and was elected after entries were reopened.
