would like for the voters to an
swer the following questions: Has any
one who was voted for on the 9th yet
received the nomination for the posi-
ton to which he aspired? Can a coun-
ty election be pure, and the State
election fraudulent when the same
men voted for both the county and
State officers at the same place and
same time? Do Messrs. Mower, Kib-
ler, Goggans and the others who re-
ceived the highest numbers of ballots
think there was fraud in the nomina-
tion9 Does Senator Johnstone believe
that he was fraudulently nominated?
Does he wish to go into the general
election with his opponent? Have all
the State officers been honestly nomi-
mated who received the majority of
the ballots cast, except Gov. Blease?
If they have, would be much pleased
if they or the executive committee
would explain. Is every one who was
candidate satisfied save the most
riehteous, ex-Judge Jones?
Please answer. Voter

The Partisan Spirit Prevails.

To Editor of The Herald and News:
We feel suspicious that the partisan
spirit so prevails in the hearts and
minds Of the State executive commit.
tee, and this spirit constantly fed and
infamed by the newspapers favorable
to Jones and Lyon, to so manipulate
matters as to save both Jones and Ly-
on in the general election. In view OF
these susDicions, and with confidence
almost destroyed in mems promises
and pledges, we ask, by what power
or authority can this committee con-
stitute itself into a body of the high
priesthood, and arrogate to itself the
nrerogative to absolve or release the
voters in the primary, who voted un-
der solemn oath, and in Gods name
TO support the nominees in the general
election? Bease is the nominee of
the Democratic party, and so declared
Nv the official returns of every county
avecutive committee in the State, and
without any protest sent in by any of
these committees, neither did any of
the managers of election, who, with
these committees, were largely Jones
evmDathiZers.
Now. sir, in view of these facts we
do not and will not, recognize any
man or set of men on earth as having
the authority, or God-given right to
set aside the solemn oath that we have
taken to support Blease in the ensuing
general election We have always TAX
en- this oath in good faith, and in no

-. ';~1~"ol who-har the nominee was
cf our choice or not, and there is 40
The herald and news. [volume] (Newberry S.C.) 1903-1937, 1912-09-10

honorable way out of it now, unless
in the providence of God, Blease
should die. If Jones is run in the
general election, we can. not, with
these solemn vows resting upon our
hearts, recognize him as anything more
than disgruntled bolter, and an in
dependent. Neither do we believe that
the self-respecting sympathizers OF
Jones can so absolve themselves from
this solemn oath in the sight of just
God, and the eyes of all men, as to
cast their ballot against the nominee.
What would the oath, or even the
word of a man, be who would perjure
himself and prove false merely to ex-
alt one to Office to which he was not
Justly entitled. His disgrace would be
thrown into the face of his children
for generations to come.
But, if solemn vows are not to be
longer respected, and if the rights of
the majority of white voters must be
taken away and treachery reign su-
preme, then we must, and will be fore
ed, TO seek afiliation and protection in
other quarters, and with other parties.
We want peace, even at the price of
parting.
Loyal to Nominee.
