Shuffle and evade as tliej may, the supporters of Congressman Ellerlv have entirely failed to justify his violation of the party p!edg<\ which pledge he had to sign in order to have his votes counttxl in the primary. Now they are trying to dodge the is>ue. They say that Mr Ellerlte's opponents are trying to read him out of the party and are getting certificates and testimonials from Minority Leader Champ Clark and Democratic Whip Somebody Else, that Messrs Ellerlie and Ix-ver by their acts and votes in Congress did not forfeit their right to !* ailed Democrats. What has all that to do with the pledge they made here in South Carolina, as a pre-requisite t<> entering the |<rimary, and then, after l>eing safely elected, breaking that pledge? What does Champ (Mark know alxHit the rules <?f the primary Tt w;is nnlv Ill OUU11I VtlM'lllId . m.% within the past few years that this pledge was exacted of candidates f<?r Congress and the rule? were thus amended to forestall just such eases as that of Ellerhe and Lever. Read them out of the party'? By no means. We think such severe punishment would l?e incommensurate with the nature ol the offense. But it is a far cry from expelling a mem!>er from an organization and putting him at the head of it. When a trusted employee of a corporation disobeys an order or makes a costiy blunder it is not g<md business policy to discharge him un< onditionally. Take a r a i 1 r o a < engineer, for example, when hi: negligence causes an aecident 01 destruction o? property, lie is no discharged at once, as a rule < ?n the other hand, if his dereliction of duty went unpunished he would U'come more defiant and, regard loss of rules and regulations, would proUihlv finally involve his employer in seriou? trouble. The poliey of the railroad is to suspend the unfaithful official, or to reduce him to the ranks and let him h e g i n over again, and this policy gives t he corporation exceedingly efficient -ervunts, as we all know. Now, the Democrats of the V Sixth district have placed Mr KllerU* at the head of the party hy electing him to the highest office within their gift. How has he measured up to this responsi' hility? He does not deny voting contrary to the principles of the party as em Untied in the national platform, but he does not admit : that he erred in so 'doing. If had confessed his error and thus purged himself, his consiituents , might have told him to "go in J 5 peace and sin no more." But no. [i ) He tries to juggle with words and thus escape the consequence , of his disloyalty. S u p p o s e this 3 I t goes unrebuked?what right have i the voters to c o m p 1 a i n if he ij should vote with the Republicans j on every measure that conies up? ^ Here arc the questions to ask yours self when you go to cast your * ballot for Congressman next Tuesday: Are you willing to give Mr i EllerU' the power, as your repre| tentative in Congress, to disobey * the expressed wishes and policies of the Democratic party as formut lated by its leaders, the delegates you elected to represent you in s the national councils? The Democratic party whose B tenets Mr Ellerbe seems to hold , so lightly, made him what he is. ^ He is but the servant of the people?is the servant greater ' than his master? Send Us News. For the past few weeks we have 1 lieen issuing the biggest paper that we have ever gotten out except as a special issue, 'which' means, of course, the largest newspaper ever printed in Williamsburg county. We regret, however, that the proportion of news in the forty or fifty columns of type presented is not ? -i M i:i,A near so large as we miuuiu imci to have it. On account of tlie flood of communications we have been forced to omit all State and general news and even local affairs have to U* condensed to the smallest compass. Of course we dislike to do this, hut with fifteen or twenty letters, some on 'special subjects and some just * scattering," what can we do? Some of the readers of this paper who want mwh have complained about this condition and not without reason. Think of it! i With all the type that has gone ! into the paper this week, we still have left over a half dozen letters?enough to fill up another 1 page or two?hut we simply could i not put them in type. There is a limit to our capacity and we ' have to publish these letters as they come. We are glad to have i our readers express their views < 11 ' live topics in articles of reason a'?le length, but we must call a halt on the two and three column class. Aln)ve all, don't send us -1 newspaper clippings, or reprint, -1 unless it is :t brief news item. 1! We get every week one "hundred *j different papers, exchanges, and r there is scarcely one that does t not contain some article that we . should 1h- glad to reproduce, hut - we can only afford to publish 01 , or two once in a while when lot'cal news is scarce. We are now - 'Vhock-a-bhx'k" on essays, clip pings, editorials and dissertations ; on divers topics, so that until we reduce the stock on hand we can not undertake to publish any new i contributions except news. We are always glad to get real, hard news and will make place for it even if we have to cut out the | title head on the front page. j iviHt us the news! The question that has kept the | politicians ??f Georgia figuring ! over-time, "Can Hoke Smith ! come hack?" was solved Tuesday when Hoke won out over "Litj tie Joe" Brown hy al*>ut four | thousand majority. In Georgia politics it is the unexpected that happens. Two * f l I ^ I ? _ years ago wnen josepn r. Drown, the present incumbent, opposed Hoke Smith for re-election as Governor, Brown's candidacy was regarded almost as a joke. "Little Joe*' rode triumphantly into the Governor's office, however, and seemed to make a fairly good executive. But the mercurial temperament of the Georgia voters demands change and excitement and so this year they swapped hack Governor Brown f ?r Governor Smith, Notwithstanding our plain announcement last week that we would publish no contributions of a' political or personal nature except at advertising rates, wvj have received several such articles, some "boosting," some disparaging certain candidates, and the writers therof say nothing whatever Aiout paying for them. None of the articles referred to have been publlished; we try toj treat alljalike. The Record exist* primarily to print the news. When news is exhausted, if we have energy and i space enoughflleft, we discuss pi?lities in our own way; hut the paper is not intended as a forum for argument generally as to].the ' merits and demerits of candnlates ( f.?r office. The candidates meet the people face to face almost daily. If they can not fully express their i views on the issues, let them do as have done those whose articles are printed this week?pity for what they want us to publish.
