The Newberry herald and news. (Newberry, S.C.) 1884-1903, 1892-07-06

these you Will avail yourselves VI llie
county press to appeal to the people,
address them at public meetings, con-
ventiens, ETC, especially securing when
possible a hearinga at the Democratic
campaign meetings and other gather
ipgs throughout the county. Sermons
by the clergy of the different denon'l-
nations enforcing the duty of Christians
to aid in every effort to suppress the
liquor traffic, are potent agencies by
which to increase the prohibition vote.
Work assidiously to bring out the
Prohibition vote in its full strength at
the primary election in August and see
that it is deposited in the box which
the Democratic Executive Committee
will provide to receive it at each pre-
cinct, and also see that it is properly
counted and tabulated in the returns
made by the managers. Note here the
important fact that this provision for
taking the Prohibition vote at the DEM
ocratic primary, made by the State EX-
ecutive Committee ut the request OF
the Prohibition convention, is full
recognition Of the position that our
movement is one legitimately to be
made within the Democratic party
and of the right of every Democrat to
give expression to his views in this
form without let or hindrance.
Appoint one of your own number, or
some other competen. man, to keep
the space accorded you in your county
papers we'll supplied every week with
items, communications, reports of meet
ings, and other matter calculated to
educate and strengthen the public SEN
timent on this movement and to cor
rect errors and Misrepresentation
which may be put forward by the op-
position. Your committee will have
to exercise very cautious supervision
over this department lest by some in
judicious publication our movement
should be committed to false or un-
tenable position before the public and
thereby much harm result.
The objective point in all our work
is to secure an undoubted majority in
each branch of the next General AS
sembly pledged to vote for son'e proper
measure for State prohibition. In par-
suance of this object, let it be your first
duty to ascertain, as soon as a candi-
date is announced, whether or not be
is in favor Of our movement, and secure
from him this assurance in writing if
possible, or by some unequlvocal pub
lie utterance. If he declines, or fails
to take this position, let him under
stand that we are seeking to enlist the
cooperation of good Democrats in this
fight, and that to be outspoken and
pronounced on this subject, irrespective
Of their views on other questions which
may be raised within the party, will
secure the vote Of the Prohibitionists.
Seek to induce some good Prohibition
Democrats, the best you can find, to
run for the House or Senate, if none Of
those already announced are with US
in the fight for prohibition.
Each county has been requested by
the executive committee to raise at
least $50 to meet the necessary expenses
of conducting the work in the State,
and each county committee will en-
deavor to raise such sum at the earliest
possible moment, forwarding the
amount raised to S. A. Nettles, secre-
tary and treasurer, Manning, S. c.
Very respectfully,
l.. D. CHILDs,
Chairman S. P. Ex. Committee.
