heartfelt appreciation to the loyal
friends who worked with and for me-.
II would be wide OF the mark If
did not express my earnest apprecia-
ton of the splendid work done by the
newspapers OF the state. The press
as whole was untiring in its effort
to show the people only the true is-
sues and to print public matters in a
true light.
1T would be ingratitude on my part
however, not TO mention especially
the loyal support given me by my
home people in Sumter and by the
members OF the Young Mems Man
ming Club of Sumter. whose loyalty
and devotion were q source of strength
and inspiration to me throughout the
long campaign.
Il consider that the result of the
campaign of 1914 is' triumph for all
the agencies which work for the NOR
