The herald and news. [volume] (Newberry S.C.) 1903-1937, 1914-07-17

rot follow, little paragraph We had
as to our opinion of Mr.. Dominicks S
chances of election. The innocent lit
tie paragraph must nave touched a
tender spot The Press and Banner
gets poetic and sarcastic and funny
and personal all in the short space Of
a column. We were not personal or
sarcastic or funny. We only expressed
an opinion based en- statements we
heard made by people who live in the
third district. We may be mistaken
! but certainly We have a right to ex-
press an opinion in parliamentary
language without being held up to rid
icule by the secretary of Mr.. Aiken.
Editor AuIl was defeated for election
as county superintendent Of education
/ Ct Newberry county. A great many a
{ tn Sc who did not support US have
voluntarily come up and acknowledged
tie mistake tley made and have ad-
mitted that tae schools O. the county
have suffered more tIun We have. We
have not whined Or complained.
Il YOU want our record we were de-
feated once for the legislature and at
the next election elected We we're
defeated for the senate. We have
never complained. The cftices do not
belong to Editor Aull and We always
bow gracefully to the Will Of tAe peo-
pie. But what has all this got to do
With Mr.. Dominick's race for con-
gress. Surely you will give us the
right to our opinion and the right
to express it. We do not propose to
be personal or to abuse Mr. Aiken but
we do propose so far as our ability
goes to show the people of this district
that it is to the interest of the district
to elect Mr.. Dominick
YES. we said we were 60
irg to take trip over tee
district. We have mad one and we
are so much pleased with what we
have seen and with the people we
have met that We are going to take
another. We beg that you will not in
terfere or prevent us t1iSlittle pleas
ure. Does the district belong to Mr..
Aiken and his secretary, the editor
OF the Press and Banner? We did not
know it. Is Editor Aull not to be al
lowed the pleasure and rle privilege
OF riding through the district, in one
section O. which his parents reside?
| Has Mr. Aiken and MS secretary, the
editor of the Press and Banner, any
proprietary rights We would invade
wrongeully by so doing? Editor Aull
! is private citizen who tries to be law
abiding and is always willing to give
every one the right to express his
opinion freely Surely he should be
given the same right. If Mr. Aiken
and his private secretary, the editor
of the Press and Manner, know of any
good reason why he should not, please
speak out
1t is true that Mr.. Dominick was
defeated for tae legislature in this
county some Y years ago, but in that
same race Editor Aull was elected
AS to betting on Newberry county Ed
tor Aull is church member, but not
such good one that ne would hide
behind a friend if ne wanted to bet.
So if YOU have anything to put up come
along yourself and not behind some
! friend Let's do it in the open like
men You may know more about New
berry county than we do. We DO not
claim to know muG2 but We are going
to say what We think il you Will per-
/ NIT us. L YOU want 10 back Your
Judgment vita your money come out
III the open and lets do it, but no.
Through somebody else. Suppose we
! postpone the singing OF tne swan song
until Ter the 25th of AUGUST We
