MK. MARTIN'S REJOINDER.
Superintendent of Education Discusses
Ex-Gov. Hey ward's Interview and
Outlines Ilia Policy for the Cam?
paign.
Columbia. April 20.?Mr. O. B. Mar?
tin today followed up hla little contre?
temps of Saturday with ex-Governnor
D. C. Heyward. He gave out this af?
ternoon the following statement, dtn
cu~*lng the rejoinder of Mr. Heyward
to his Baptist Courier letter, and out?
lining the attitude which he proposes
to maintain on the stump this sum?
mer. Mr. Martin pleads not guilty to
the charge of mud-sllnglng, and Inti?
mates that If his letter of .ast week
constituted mud-sllnglng, there's Ilk
ly to be a good deal of It during the
approaching campaign. Mr. Martin
also explains that his letter last week
was not written In a spirit of anger %r
of bitterness, ssylng: "I aih amused
that some newspapers seem to think
that I get mad every time I write a
simple little eplstile la ordinary lan?
guage."
The statement handed out today |s
as follows: ,
"There are a few small matters In
?jx-Gov. Heyward's interview which I
u'f?n to note In order to keep the rec?
ord straight. I did not know about
the testimony as to his iriethod of con*
ducting his gubernatorial campaign in |
Spartanburg county when I pronoun?
ced the little eulogy upon him last
summer. I missed that testimony
somehow If it was ever published. My
attention was called to It soon after
ex-Gov. Heyward's announcement.
Since I know about the testimony I d<
not feel called upon to withdraw am
complimentary remarks In regard to
his courtesy and our relations while
we were fellow officers in the capitol.
Governor Heyward says that he li
"surprised and sorry that Mr. Martin
has sejsn fit to begin the mud-sllnglng
In the senatorial campaign." That's
funny. If there Is any mud in my
letter It Is of his own mixing, for It all
came from his own play-house. I was
very particular to adhere strictly to
the testimony before the investigating
committee, and- I spoke from my own
knowledge In regard to Governor Hey?
ward being a post-mortem candidate.
In his announcement for the/ senate
ex-Governor*Heyward Invited ^consid?
eration of his record. I simply took
him at his word. I think the time was
opportune to say something about the
use of money in elections. I do not
think that It Is right or legitimate to
put a fellayr in charge of a campaign
in a county and give him liberty and
license to draw upon a sympathetic
banker for funds to use in an election.
The responsibility cannot be shifted In
such cases. |t must rest with the
principal. I propose to denounce the
use of money in this way. It Is en?
tirely appropriate for me to Inject this
issue in order to try to prevent Just
such things as men swore occurred in
Spartanburg. I long ago adopted the
principle, "when you are right you
cannot be too vigorous, when you are
wrong you cannot be too careful."
"I shall be free to discuss any man's
public record, and to debate any ques?
tion bearing upon this race, but that
man may have the satisfaction of
knowing that I shall confine myself to
the record and truth. If I differ with
Governor Heyward upon some of his
public acts In regard to Immigration,
for Instance. I certainly ought to be
able to quote his record without
"throwing mod."
If my position1 on currency reform
ttWutd not agree with that of the
president of the Columbia Savings
Bank and Trust company then I must
not be denied that privilege of free de?
bate.
'I am amused that some newspa?
pers seem to think that I get mad
every time I write a aimjple little epis?
tle In ordinary language. No, I don't
get mad. It Is not Ire. I have a lot of
fun every time. Why, I enjoy it. If I
can roll a ball of truth and knock
down a bunch of political ten pins, it
tickles me to see them fall.
"I want to say. here and now, that
political prophets, who have nothing
else to do shall not decide the com?
ing election before the campaign opens
and while those who are really going
to do the voting are busy at work. .It
wish to say also that the man who Is
elected to represent the State of'South
Carolina In the United States senate
will get. during the coming campaign,
enough intellectual drill, parliamen?
tary training and forensic gymnastic
to aid him materially In his subse?
quent career.
