There is Shrewd game being played
in order to win votes for candidates
who are representing prohibition in
this campaign. \ candidate will be
approached and informed that ''Appelt
brought out his opponent. For in
stance we have heard that Mr.. Turbe-
vile has been told that "Appelt
brought out DR.. Woods" and DR..
Woods has been told that "Appelt
brought out Mr.. Turbeville." Then
both Of these candidates and others
have been told that ''Appelt brought
out Mr.. Galluchat," etc.
Of course the object of these reports
is TO get up a feeling OF resentment
among the candidates in order to create
confusion in the ranks of those who are
opposed to the '.prohibition-diSpensarys
game now being played by certain poll
ticianS. We have too much faith IN
the good sense OF the people to believe
that they will be twisted from their
purpose by such foolish reports. The
people are not as easily fooled as some
of our pious brethren think, and when
there comes among them man preach
ing this new tangled ''prohibition-dis-
pensary' idea cloaled in the garb OF
religion they will look beneath that
cloak to see if there is not hidden a po-
litical deceiver.
Now we want it distinctly understood
that Louis Applet, editor of The TINES.
is not responsible for any mans candl-
dacy for any Office: that he has sincere
~ kept his promise to refrain from hav-
ing anything to say for or against any
man running fora court house office.
He has friends among all OF the candl-
dates, and when he gets ready TO vote
ne will vote for those who commend
themselves TO his Judgment, and he will
not even let any one know who his
choice will be- For State Offices his
choice in part has already been an
nounced. Now, when it comes to the
Legislature Louis Applet being in the
State Senate for two more years. IS eX-
ceedingly anxious that the people OF
Clarendon do not elect any man TO the
lower branch Of the Legislature whose
political and personal hatred IS so IN
tense that the feeling will be carried
into the General Assembly and thereby
cause the people at home TO the suffer-
erS. Louis Applet does not mean to
dictate. and all such talk is buncombe
for the purpose of preiudicing voters,
| but he does not tmean to say that II Clar-
endon county wants a delegation IN the
Legislature to be of service TO the
county. the people should elect men
who have no political or personal re-
venge to crafty. Louis Applet has en-
deavored to be a faithful public servant:
he has never tried to keep from the
public any of his official acts. and when
the Legislature was in session he gave
them full account of what the Claren-
don delegation was doing. If as Sena-
tor, there was any act of his which did
not meet with the peoples approval he
was not made acquainted with 1t until
within the opening of the present cam
paign, and only then. by some who olt-
fer with him on the liquor question and
who would like TO be elected 70 the
Legislature.
Louis Appelt is not a candidate for
Office IN this primary and the people
should not be fooled By the professions
of men whose hearts are green with
malice against him. 1t is easy enough
for man to juggle with figures before
q crowd. because the crowd Us q rule.
will not take the trouble to verify the
candidates. statement, but when you go
10 the tax office TO pay your taxes the
truth will come out that the taxes are
one mill less this year than they were
last. and one-fourth of :. mill less than
when Louis Applet was sworn IN Us
! Senator: and further. when Louis Ap-
pelt was sworn in aS Senator. the as
>cssed valuation of property had been
reduced nearly 100000 and the county
was about $1,000 in debt: today the
county is out Of debt with i surplus in
the treasury and the tax levy redGced
one mill less than last year.
