Carpenter’s <Womai'i <=%jxfuixd L Lkti/ (^oods., Comments on Men & Things (from page 2) in the great days of the silver-tongued orator William Jen nings Bryan, was there such general and enthusiastic sup port as was accorded Mr. Goldwater. Observe the counties which gave majorities to Gold- water: Aiken, Allendale, Bamberg, Beaufort, Berkeley, Cal houn, Charleston, Clarendon, Colleton, Darlington, Dillon (2760 to 274 for Democrats), Dorchester, Edgefield, Flor ence, Georgetown, Greenville, Greenwood, Hampton, Jasper, Kershaw, Laurens, Lee, Lexington, Marion, McCormick, Newberry, Orangeburg, Pickens, Richland, Saluda, Sumter and Williamsburg. I quote “An American Creed,” by Dean Alfange: “I do not choose to be a common man. It is my right to be uncommon ... if I can. I seek opportunity . ,. not security. I do not wish to be a kept citizen, humbled and dulled by having the state look after me. I want to take the calculated risk; to dream and to build, to fail and to succeed. I refuse to barter incentive for a dole. I prefer the chal lenges of life to the guaranteed existence; the thrill of ful fillment to the staie calm of Utopia. I will not trade freedom for beneficence nor my dignity for a handout. I will never cower before any master nor bend to any threat. It is my heritage to stand erect, proud and unafraid; to think and act for myself; enjoy the benefits of my creations and to face the world boldly and say, ‘This I have done.' All this is what it means to be an American'. ” That was the type of American who helped to make this great nation. We may pay lip service to that creed, but it is no longer the creed of the day. Today we think, money, po sition, power—those considerations seem to dominate in this day of material success. I can quite imagine the plight of a man with wife and children who fears that he may lose his job and have his family “on relief.” Let’s quit politicking for a time, but let us be vigilant lest Congress go all-out for Communism under the spell of some fooling people. “Does a single vote mean anything in an election year? Here are some elections that hung by a thread of votes. And it could happen again! If you believe that your vote cannot possibly affect the outcome of a political campaign, remind yourself of this true story, and you'll change your mind: The speeches were all over. Charges, counter-charges, promises, and platforms faded into the silence. But the candidates' managers kept talking, each confidently pre dicting his candidate’s grasp of the popular will and of the awesome prize, The Presidency of the United States. Overseas, they waited too. The outcome would affect the entire world. The journalists predicted a ‘cliff-hanger.’ Then the votes of the American people began to roll in, tally by tally. New York and every eastern state save Mary land and New Hampshire went to one of the candidates. Then the midwest and South ... by evening, one of the can didates had almost all the electoral votes he needed. When California’s came in, he’d hare the majority plus one. Extras came of the press, proclaiming him President. His name went up in lights on the roof of his hotel. The can didate went to bed, certain of victory. The next morning, a reporter elbowed his way through the hotel hall, managed to get to the door of the candidate’s suite, banged on it, and was answered by an aide: ‘The President cannot be disturbed; he’s sleeping.’ Said the re porter: ‘Tell him he isn’t President any more.’ During the night, California had gone to his opponent— by just 4000 votes out of a million. 1948? 1960? No—it was 1916, and Charles Evans Hughes, Republican, lost by a single state to Woodrow Wilson Demo crat. One very small group of voters of the nation ... it was that close! It was close in 1884, too, when Republican James Blaine, ‘The Plumed Knight,’ ran against ‘Foursquare’ Grover Cleve land, then the Democratic Governor of New York. In what has been called one of the dirtiest election campaigns of all time, Blaine was proved to be a party to collusion and graft Have you priced a tiger lately? Take the GTO, for instance. Comes with 335 hp. Or 360 at extra cost. Plus bucket seats. Carpeting. Walnut dash. Quick WIde-Track Tigers And like that Yet it sells for less than a lot of pussycats with imitation stripes.
