PAGE EIGHT THE NEWBERRY SUN FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 17, 1M4 SPECTATOR I have read advertisements in daily and weekly papers calling on citizens to vote the regular (or New Deal) ticket last Tuesday. This is some thing new in South Carolina. Of course, the Southern Democrats have advertise!; everybody expected that; but it was something very new for the regulars to use display and radio advertising in order to per suade South Carolinians to vote. Usually, you know, we have been in the bag, so snugly in the bag, that we were not worth worrying over. Times have changed. In one South Carolina city handbills have been cir culated in thousands, combating the Southern Democratic party. Well, it all adds to the spice of life and gives everybody something to think about. We have something at stake, the gov ernment, the control of this vast apd mighty republic; but Americans look upon political campaigns as being like horse races—and most people think it is all a game. Let me make the point that it is not a game; it is a matter of grave concern, that we choose our national leaders wisely. The issues which have come to the front in this state and throughout the South are the Roosevelt attitude on the race problem; and the Roose velt participation in the war, and in the conclusion of the pea:e. Friends of Mr Roosevelt proclaim him to be the genius of war, and the great figure of the peace. The Southern Democrats declare that all this is nonsense, and point out that Mr. Roosevelt’s pecord as a leader and administrator, both in war and peace, proves him a smooth talker, but a man who deceives himself into thinking that what he says is the same as a THING accomplished. They charge him with bungling, and administrative incapacity. Of course, the anti-Rooseveltians point to Mr. Roosevelt’s constant championship of the negro as be trayal of the Southern Democrats. Of course political oratos usually exaggerate their own virtues, or those of their parties, and see the oppositions defects very clearly. It is quite silly to think that Mr. Roosevelt is necessary to either the war or the peace. It does not fol low that Mr. Dewey would prove to be a national savior. Our nation is suffering from too much politics, and politicians. South Carolina also has its politics and poli ticians. We need, both in state and nation, to substitute principles for self policies and practices; we must try to make government the effi cient servant of the people instead of a mere source of jobs or con tracts of favors. We must organize the men and women who love their country and State and uproot the elements which sacrifice everything, in order to enthrench themeslves in power, and to perpetuate themselves and their crowd in power. We are letting selfish groups of men exploit the nation and the State. Some day we must break down the power of their oligarchy; why not now? We need a sensible and simple pro gram for our nation and state. What is the problem of the peace which terrifies most people? It is unem ployment. Well, do you favor crip pling, mutilating, and killing our youth and young manhood, in order that WE AT HOME may have more money ? This Inflation we now have is termed prosperity by some. It means a greater volume of money put into circulation. It is put into circulation in oredr to wage a war. This is not Roosevelt prosperity, would not be so uncharitable or harsh as to blame Mr. Roosevelt for Hie men who sacrifice themselves for us. Certainly not; well, neither is he en titled to credit for the spending'of the nation’s treasure, in order to carry on the war. In very truth, friends, this is blood money, for our men at the front are fighting, and their fighting is what brings about this inflation. So un less you blame some one for the war and its tragedies, don’t give him credit for the so-called prosperity, which is part of the war. Our nation needs a revised scheme of taxation so that our men of means may be induced to invest their capi tal. Make it profitable to do busi ness, and men will engage in busi- RITZ THURSDAY, FRIDAY and SATURDAY Bing Crosby, Barry Fitzgerald, Frank McHugh, Rise Stevens, James Brown, Gene Lockhart.

Busi nessmen don’t respond to back-slap ping. It does no good to tell them that we want them to do well; the important thing is to take definite action BY LAW so that men maj see what they may do. If there is a reasonable prospect of fair gain, men will invest their money; factories will operate; and work and opportunities will multi ply, for each prosperous business is built on many others, and also en courage others to take chances.
