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-

that we want them to do well; the
important thing is to take definite

If there is a reasonable prospect
of fair gain, men will invest their
