A Gard from Mr.. J. G. MccuIlou gh.
/hdu.rtican,ant

Having. been kept. from the
county campaign meetings on ac-
count of sickness in nay family |
deem it only justice TO myself and
to those who would support me to
give, through the columns Of our
county papers, the substance OF
what should have said had 1t
been my good fortune to attend
our meetings:
II elected to the legislature |
promise YOU that | shall bear in
mind The significance OF the word
representative. My watchword
shall be represent, and my high
est enGeavor shall he to find out
the wishes Of my constituents, and
to act in accordance with their
wishes. 1t hiss been SAID that the
representative should mould the
minds Of his people. William
Jennings Bryan did not seem TO
hold this view when lie said i'll his
speech at Columbia that ii he were
called on 10 choose a motto for a
legislatorit would be "a servant
Of his people" Our own Ben
Tillman says statesman should
lead The people. but he should
lead them the way they want to
90. Now, my idea OF the proper
legislator concurs with the views
above expressed by these men.
In Il democratic country the
people are light, "The voice OF the
people is the voice OF Coo, and
those who are chosen to represent
them should endeayor to represent
a majority of his constituents. On
entering or legislative halls a
representative should reason after
this manner: My people cann' t
come here to make and unmake
laws for themselves. 1t was ne
cessary that they elect men to
represent them, 10 act for them.
They have chosen me as one to DO
this. | must now no. longer. ask
what will profit me most, but what
do my people want-what Go they
want-wha1 would they do if they
we're here? Having ans Tered
this question satisfactorily, he
should act in accordance with that
answer with out regard 10 indlvId-
ual interests Or wishes, Nor DO
these requirements OF a proper
representative rob him o! the
privi eye Of his own convictions.
No nan is worthy TO represent so
great a people who Is void of con-
viclion3. What ! wish TO empha-
Size il: \ legislators ideas OF
government should al all times IN
his official capacity be made sub
servient 10 the ideas OF the people
he represents.
Now as to NY position on the
principal questions that confront
US in State politics.
The whiskey problem has aei-
tated our people Tor generations,
and | see no immediate prospect
OF solution satisfactory to all
The dispensary is in favor with
most OF our people. It's certainty
far in advance OF the old license
system IN that it has materially
lessened drunkenness, and what is
better has removed the social
glass IRON the boys of our state.
If elected ! promise you TO support
the dispensary unless | may be
other wise ordered by a majority
vote of the people of Williams
burg county, to whom alone |
shall look for direction III AL
such matters.
In my estimation the education,
al question stands paramount in
stale politics today. The centers
of population have always had
good schools. Nog there is no
