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

The outdoor drama which will
open in June 1965 at a site near
Columbia will be called “Our Own

mit Hunter, the author of the
play.
The drama, dealing with South
Carolina’s critical part in the
Revolutionary war from 1776 to
1783, is being financed principally
by contributions from citizens and
businesses throughout South Car
olina. The state legislature ap
propriated $50,000 contingent upon
the Palmetto Outdoor Historical
Drama Association raising $150,-
000.
A fund raising drive is presently
under way. This will be climaxed
by an hour-long statewide tele
vision show to be put on early in
December. Time for the program,
talent and everything else neces
sary for the show is being contri
buted by the TV stations and
those who will take part. In ad
dition to interesting film clips
and appearences by South Caro
linians from all over the state,
Dr. Kermit Hunter, author of the
show “Our Own Free Land” will
appear on the show.
Interested citizens who would
like to help in the last stages of
the fund raising effort are asked
to write Box 475, Columbia, and
volunteer their services. Names
will be given to county chairmen
throughout the state. Those wish
ing to contribute are asked to
make their checks payable to the
Palmetto Outdoor Drama Asso
ciation and send them to Box 475,
Columbia. All contributions are
tax-deductible.
