look mig-ty good up that way tor
Dominick and for B!ease as we'll. AS
an illustration We heard gentleman
telling about one of the candidates
sending friend of his with some "lit-
erature" to Piedmont, and when the
friend returned he asked him how
things were, and the friend replied
all right. Said he: Every one over
there is going to vote for Blease, Dom
mick and Winston Smith" Smith is
the auditor of Anderson county.
We nave heard that it has been
circulated in Newberry that at the
Orr mill Dominick was not allowed to
sneak. that whenever he mentioned
the name of Aiken ne was hollered at
so that he could not proceed and that
Sheriff Ashley was also howled down.
That is campaign lie out o. the
whole clota. There is one thing thai
can be said to the credit of the voters
OF the district, they have given Mr..
Dominick a most respectful hearing
wherever he has spoken and he has
always been received with applause.
In fact the only time that he has
spoken at the Orr mill was before
the opening of tae campaign and at
that time Mr.. Dominick never refer
red to Aiken except to say that he
would not discuss his record until the
opening of the regular campaign.
We never could see the advantage
of circulating false reports on your
opponent. We have never believed it
accomplished any good for any one.
It would be mistake to give ere
dence to any report about any candi-
date that you may hear between now
AMI TIE election. Suppose We all
agree to tell the truth and be fair to
all opponent and remember that we
are all one people and woen the people
speak at the polls next Tuesday we
are soing to accept the result in good
faith.

The campaign will soon be at an end
and every one should be glad o. it.
1t is strange how people will work
themselves into a frenzy in their par
tisan zeal and fall out with their best
friends because they happen to differ
on the selection of some man for an
Office that does not concern them in
the least Because we differ in our
views Of men is no reason why We
should fall out with each other. We
are not going to do it. Some Of those
whom we consider our best friends do
not agree with us and will not vote
as we will, but on that account we are
not going to get mad with them. II
their man wins We will rejoice with
them, and if our man wins we will
expect them to rejoice with US, but on
no account shall we get angry with
them, and certainly we shall expect
them to grant US the same privilege
to our opinion Let us all play the glad
game. The fate of the nation does not
rest upon the success of any one man
or set OF men. The man may die but
the work will go on just the same
No one man is indispensable to the
proper revolution of the globe. The
country is safe and don't you for one
minute get it into your noggin that the
whole thing rests on every one doing
just as you think. There is no truth
and no foundation for any such pro-
position.

Herald and News on August IL:
City of Washington,
District of Columbia
Personally appeared before me, W.
G. Lieuallen, who, being duly sworn,
says: :
That he has read the letter of James
M Baker, dated August 8, 1914, and
published in The Herald and News, OF
Newberry, S. C., on August II, 1914;
that he has examined the Congress
sional Record and compared all the
quotations cited in said statement
therefrom, and finds them to be cor
rect as published.
w. G. Lieuallan,
Acting Librarian United States Senate.
Sworn to before me, this the 10Th
day of August, 1914.
4, B. Nixon,
(seaD Notary Public.
NV commission expires December
18th, 1915.
Mr.. Aiken states,r in MS article, tnat
Baker was elected secretary OF the
senate as a sort o. consolation prize
to Senator Tillman Senator Tillman
wanted to be chairman of the commit
tee on appropriations, and his COL
leagues were not willing for him to have
it." BY reference to The Washington
Post of March 9, 1913, it appears that
the Democratic caucus nominated me
tor secretary of the senate on March
8. 1913. The caucus committee did
not begin considering the chairman
ships of committees until March TO-.
1913, and uae announcement OF
the selection for the chairman
chip of the committees was
not made until March 10, 1918,
which was a week after my cleo
ton. See The Washington Post of
March Is, 1918, page 1, column /.
These facts and dates from the re-
cord prove that Mr.. Aiken has made
another false statement.
In conclusion, let the voters OF the
T3ird district take the words OF
Speaker Champ Clark, as quoted by
Mr.. Aiken "Men should not be sent
to congress simply to crafty their
own personal ambition, but because
they can be of service. Having proved
that they are Of service, wisdom
dictates that they continue to be OF
service" Apply this language to Mr..
Aikens proven record Of incompetent
cy and neglect OF public duty, and
wisdom dictates that he should be de-
fcated.
Respectfully,
James NJ. Baker.

PARTISAN POLITICAL ACTIVITY.
Reports From Third District SO Many
POstOffice Department Will Take
Prompt Action.

Special to Tie Herald and News.
Washington, D. c., Aug. 20.-I have
received additional complaints from
the Third district concerning the po-
litical activity Of the rural route
carriers and have referred same to
the postomce department. The depart
ment assures me they will lake
prompt action on these matters.
The law provides, "No person in
the executive service shall use his Of
fetal authority or influence for the
purpose O., interfering with an cleo
ton or affecting the results thereof
Persons who by the provisions Of
these rules are in the competitive
classified service, while retaining
the right to vote as they please and
to express privately their opinions on
all political subjects, shall take no
active part in political management
or political campaigns.

tions. The inraction of this rule in
the Third district has been so flag

partment will disclose condition of
affairs that will call for drastic ac-

ems that yCu would be fool 20 make
c.langa in the postmaster at Ander-
son before the primary because t2ere
are some ID applicants and you want
ed the support Of all of them and if
you made the appointment now you
would have all but the appointee
working against you? Wasn't that
statement an admission that you are
playing politics o. the lowest charac-
ter with Vie postmasterslip at Ander-
son? You will not deny that you
made that statement in your speech
at Pickens 1t will take more than
two columns satisfactorily to explain
your course in the Anderson postmas-
tersnip.
You do not deny your canal vote but
i try to explain it.
You deny that you use money. AS
you swear that you have only used
and there has been only used in your
campaign s2S.50 it would seem rfaic-
ulous to charge you with spending any
money in campaign. l presume you
gave it all to Charity and to nelp
build churches out of purely gen.
erous heart and with no view of aid
ing you il your election. L: that be
true you should suppress that circu-
lar taat is being distributed over the
AlstricS telling about the $4,000 to
church and the ice fund at the Able
vile mill. Charity vaunteth not it
self.
You admit that you were absent 253
times from roll call but try to explain
that by claiming that you were paired
as that is custom. That is true
about the custom of having pairs, but
YOU overlook the record which states
that you were absent 253 times and
had no pair, and t1at you were absent
and paired 207 times making a total
o. 460 times absent and paired out OF
total of S99 votes. That is the state
ment and that statement was taken
from the record. GA half truth is the
worst kind of lie" to quote your
own language.
As to my legislative record you only
quote the charge and do not carry
your Investigation to the end where
you would have tound that was COM
pletely and thoroughly exonorated
rom Intention o. wrong doing and
the Investigation was had at my re-
quest. Again, Mr.. Aiken, to quote
your own language, "a half truth is
the meanest kind Of lie," and you
knew you were only quoting hall
truth and doing it for the purpose OF
misleading
At the time your article was pub
lished you say that you are in Wash
ington looking after the peoples bus
mess. Is it not true that at the time
it appeared in the Anderson papers
you were in Pickens and Oconee?
The question before the voters OF
the Third district is not the personal
affairs of Mr.. Baker, but the record
of Wyatt Aiken as congressman and
as it is writ in the Record. That has
been presented fairly and honestly.
Do the people endorse it?
Fred. H. Dominick

you have done the work. Then

Mr.. Aiken takes seven columns to
reply to the statement Of Mr.. Baker
and yet he says there is nothing in
Mr.. Bakers article to demand his at
tention. Mr.. Baker makes brief reply
in the paper today. As he says the
question is not what Mr. Baker is or
has been, but what Mr.. Aiken has
done as a congressman. No use to
cloud the issue by going off into per-
sonal abuse. But then you can't fool
the people. They are wise.
