FROM ANOTHER VIEWPOINT.
Candidates Should be Made to
Declare for Jones or Blease.
(Received too late for last week issue

(Received too late for last weeks issue).
Editor County Record
Please allow me space to reply, in
word, to the remarks of Mr. w E
n" in your last issue, Request of
county Chairman" First. will say
that | believe in good order and
gentlemanly conduct at all COM
paign meetings, But as a true DEM
ocrat must protest against the re-
quest that all candidates be re-
quested to pledge themselves to an
swer no questions on the stump as
to State political issues" This would
not be right from a Democratic
standpoint, for the people have a
right to know what candidate
stands for. He has no right to hide
from the people his views on politi-
cal questions of any nature. If a
man is known, his policies and prin-
ciples are known and then he is
elected. He is the choice of the peo-
pie, otherwise he is not.
Another reason why we do not
agree to this is that the time has
come in our political state land Will
liamsburg county is truly part of
that same) when we must turn Ell
ther to the right or to the left. 1t
is an issue of principles. We have a
right to know from each candidate
whether he will give us Bleaseism
and anarchy or good government
that tends toward the betterment
of all the people; whether he will
serve his friends and damn his ene-
mics or be the servant of all the
people, for the good of all the peo-
pie.
1t appears to me that the object
of the county campaign is to enable
the people and the ofice-seekers to
get in touch with each other. 1t is
there that the people can hear the
candidates and the principles and
issues for which they stand. To re-
fuse to answer questions that are
put in gentlemanly way would be
to defeat the very end for which the
campaign was instituted. Besides
this it would be decidedly undemo-
cratic.
Let US be gentlemanly but let US
demand to know how each candi-
date stands upon this vital question,
for we, as Democrats, have a right
to know. The people of Williams
burg are fair minded people. Let
them know the facts and judge for
themselves the merits of the man.
Now, Mr. w E NJ, mean moth.
ing personal in these remarks. l
trust you will not take them as
such. These are my views on the
question at issue and not a personal
attack on anyone.
