FIGURES TELL The STORY.
1918 Is Levers Great Majority in His
Own County Over All Competitors.
BrantIeys Surprisingly Small
Vote in His County. Only
24O Majority!

The race for Congress has par.
rowed down to two meD-L yer 800
Brantley. Judge Buchanan, Smith
and Howell, I'll patriotic and able
men having failed to getin The second
race and the fight is now between
two young men who are AMBITIOUS
and bright. Let US lock at them
from a comparative point tf view:
10 point of intelligence Lever IS 10
every respect equal if not TIE srpe-
rior of Brantle, in pciot Of education
Levers equals Brantley's if it does
not surpass ii; in point Of s!udious
ness and attentiveness to politics AID
in point of knowledge of the great
issues Lever does not have superior
in the District; in point Of age there
is practically no difference; IL poi;t
Of legislative experience Levers
equals Brantley's; in point of Con
gressional experience, the very work
TO be done, Lever has five years while
Bransley has none at all. This is
important to the District-experiel ce
in the work is what the people are
wanting and can get by voting for
Lever. His close sffiliation with Dr..
Stokes for FIVE years; the fact that
for five months be had entire
charge of nearly all the Congressional
work, and practically all Ct it for
eighteen mopths-his knowledge of
that work which was lef5 ubfn-
ished in the departments, the fact
that he was relied upon to do
al the departmental work, puts him
in a position to know more about the
work left undone than Mr.. Brsntley
can possibly know, for this reason the
people will support him; in point Of
popularity at home where men are
known, Lever is by far the more
popular man as is shown by the
maj3rity each received iD his home
county. Take Levers county and his
maj rity reaches 1918, while Mr..
B,antles's majority in his own county
is only 240, these are figures which
will put people to thinking. The
question naturally arises why is
Brantley so very weak in his own
county"
Ocangeburg has had the place for
eighteem years, and it does seem the
time has come when there should be
a change and some other county
given chance
Lexington has never had if, and
We feel cohfdsnt that Lever will win,
bis own county will give him at least
2OOO majority in the next election.
lie has never done any mud sling
ing, has made a straight, honorable
race upon his own merits and not
upod the dement's of his opponents.
His record is clean his ability un-
gu u4.ttoued and his devotion to the
people undJubted.
Lat every man turn out on the Oath,
and roll up an overwhelming MAJ "
ity for Lever.

Replying to Mr.. Brantly's card
published elsewhere in this issue,
we desire to state that Mr.. Lever is
away from home and cannot be
reached to receive his answer in
time for publication in this issue.
The friends of MIR. Lever indignantly
deny that he is circulating any such
report as claimed but some of his
friends are probably doing SO, having
good grounds for so dong in the
statements made by Mr.. Brantley
himself. 10 his card published in
the State of September 10.h, he
says: 81 was willing to pay it she
assessment if the other candidates.
paid, and I requested. him, Mr..
Wiggins my friend, to pay my as
sessment for me if necessary and
draw on me for the amount" and
then, after tending his check, if it WAS
conditionally, he went into a caucus
with the other candidates without
stating that he had offered to pay the
assessment. He now says: Il have
never paid or cffsred to pay the
Berkeley county assessment" There
is direcet contradiction in the two
statements. One or the other must
be wrong. It is self evident fact
that his friend MIR. Harmon of Berk-
lev considered that the assessment
had been paid as he 80 stated in his
card published in The Echo and
Press. The card of Mr.. Harmon
published in this issue does not state
that there was no offer of the check
before the agreement net to pay
was reached, but simply that he was
mistaken as to the sending OF the
cheek" The conclusion is, therefore,
that he did offer to psg the assess
ment and nothing is to be gain by
denying the fact.
Mr.. Lever is on his way to Con-
gress with his baggage checked
through and therefore cannot stop to
contradict anything that MIR. Brsnt-
ley might say.

The vote received by Lsxington's

The vote received by Lsxington's
braipy and gallant young champion
for Congressman from the Seventh
District in the other counties which
compose the District, is indeed fatter
ing and very encouraging as it indi-
Gates that the voters in them ap
preciate the justness OF Lexlngton's
claims and that they are liberal
and patriotic enough to accord her
that for which she is so earnestly
contanding-the election OF Mr.
Lever, her standard bearer, to Cor
gress.
The warm support given MIR.
Lever by the people OF his native
county, by whom his private aud
public record is fully known, is q
strong and uuassailable endorse
ment of that record and an eloquent
expression of the esteem and conf
dence which his home folk have in
him. No other candidate in the nrst
primary received near so large ma
iority in his home county as Mr..
Lever did iu his and we wish to en-
phesizs this fact because, having en-
trusted her banner into his keeping,
the people upheld him in his strug-
gle with such strength and enthusl-
asm as to inspire confidence In bis
ability and devotion to the interests
of the people to uphold and maintain
the honor and integrity OF the dis
trict so that in the second primary,
having no longer candidate OF their
own to support, they will roll up big
majorities for MIR. Lever.
While Lexington did we'll IN the
first primary she can and must do
better in the second. The time has
come when, for the honor OF grand
old Lexington, it's the bounden duty
of every voter to rot only go to the
polls and vote for Lever on the 24Sh
but to pull off his coat, go TO work at
once and shake the bushes to get out
the full vote of the county. Out OF
a7oting population Of over 5000 only
2,06S voted in the last primary. Where
are the other voters? They must be
induced to go to the polls on the 24th
and vote for Lever. If the people OF
Lexington will but do their duty
they will be honored by having son
of the county represent the District
in the halls Of Congress.
