dressed tc me recently by the Hon.
Chauncey F. Black, the president
of the aNational Association of
Democratic Clubs" and as it is so
forcible plea for the organization
of these clubs throughout the coun-
try. I deem it's publication i'm, 'or-
tant.. AS vice president of the
league for South Carlina, it is my
duty to respond to the call of the
president and as my views on the
subject he has SO ably presented
are in full accord with his, that
duty becomes in this case pleas
ure.
In my judgment if there ever
was time when the great Demo
cratic party depended for its per-
manence, its very existence, on the
unity of its members, it is now,
when false creeds and false pro-
phets threaten to destroy it. This
Iregard as eminently the case in
South Carolina, ,wheIe many of our
truest men have been led astIay by
the promulgation of political
heresies, claimed by their advo-
Gates to be true "Jeffersonian
Democratic principles
The vast majority of the whites
in South Carolina are at heart
s.aunch and loyal Democrats, and
they would not knowingly imperil
their party, SO when warned as
they are in such strong and truth
full language by one of the ablest
leaders of the Democracy, as Gov
ernur DfaUh-isu-esfrnys Deen, Oh
the dangers threatening the party.
7 have faith that they will rally to
the support of the only party which
promises peace, prosperity, and pro-
lection to the South.
My function as vice president OF
the National League is to present
to the people of South Carlina, the
views and wishes of the President.
If they are in acord with him as to
the dangers ahead of us, and the
vital Importance of prompt action
in order to avoid them. l shall
gladly give all aid in my power t'
the formation of Democratic clubs
7 therefore urge all Democrat
who stand on the national platform
to organize promptly these clubs
to which every true Democrat vii
be eligible as member.
