Objects to
Leading
IS POLITICS SAF-E WHEN LED BY
A PREACHER?
Rev, Robt. W, Jenkins. Eastover, S. C;
Richland County Chairman
-F . * " ' '
Just recently we were deceived by
one preacher who was ill-advised by
Mr. Jos. W. lolberl uf Ninety-Sin,
5, C. who is our State Chairman and
National' Committeeman f\or South
Carolina, and being well assisted by
the lamented Dr. J. H.. Goodwin and
others, to the/ dire detriment of the
Republican party in our iair state.
One of our leading preachers played
prominetly in giving' to us a stone
when we asked brea^, and a serpent
when we saked for meat?all to the
downfall and further death of our
party.
On Friday. JnrYe 21. it is to nvu regret
that ,Rev. Robt.'W. Jenkins, oI
Eastover. S. C.. was named by Mr,
Jos. W. Tolbert as our county chair,
man without consulting the committeemen
of this county which is gross;
Iv wronc in its entiretv. Whv did
Mr. Tolbert choose and name Rev,
R. W. Jenkins?
Now since iHknow a ffcw facts and
from my past knowledge of both oi
hem, I will attempt to explain; First
Rev. Jenkins has never differed with
Mr. Tolbert' whether he was defend,
ing the rigKFor defending the wrong
Second. Rev. Jenkins is one oi
was told qnd "no" when he was tpk
by "Boss" Tolbert.
Third. No one ever knows how 01
where the Rev. Jenkins stands on anj
political issue until he speaks to Mr
Tolbert. You who have known th<
"Rev. R. W. Jenkins in alt-the man:
years he has been attending Republi
can conventions wil admit that he ha:
never advanced one tanigble though
"?only to look^wise and-aet othorwisi
to tne uplift of no one. .
I would rather reach in the gravi
of the dead of men who were ser
viceable and true and tried,* and cal
the dead Spirit of the lament Jos. S
Collins or the honest-hea?rted~-Lewi
C. Scott, who have been buried year
ago than to use the living silver
i tongued- Robert W. Jenkins who i
a man and a preacher who has mad
no record of his own. Or give m
a William Dendy or a Dr. Jos. A. Co1
lins, or a Louis N. Scott uf Easluvei
or a S. J. Dunlap from the Sandhill
and many others of this type who wil
stand as men every day and ever;
where in the independence of solitud
to give a heart's expression.
If the Negroes wish to know ho\
white "Boss" Tolbert gets when h
'akes them to a National Republica
Convention, whv nslf Moacrc .T \
Jones of Saluda^S. C.; W. A. Jack
son of Aiken; Dr. J. R. Levy, of Fk
rence; "Bogie" Williams, of New
of Vyinnsboro, Prof. C. G. Garrett c
Columbia, the Rev. Wm. Howard <
Darlington and each truthful perso
will tell you that "Boss" Tolbert a1
ter taking, them over one ttyousan
miles from their several homes,?b
only gave hem $10.00. .each., to hel
pay their board bill, and Tolbert too
charge of the balance of tKe cash.
I saw mQch of this in 1920 whe
we were in Chicago, and I listene
