NE CAN FAVOR A CANDIDATE WITHOUT
ATTACKING HIS OPPONENT.
The campaign for the First
Congressional District ended last
Saturday at Walterboro.< and,
Judging entirely by the partisan
newspaper accounts, we assume
the two candidates, Dennis and
WhaIey. will have a close run
ming IN that. county, and in Dor
chester, Notwithstanding the fact
that MIR. Whaley carried Cole
ton by a large majority in the
special election. There is one
thing in this congressional con-
test we delight in, neither can
didate has attempted to arouse
factionalism. Mr. Dennis has
made the fight solely on his mer-
It, and has not relied upon get
TING votes by, appealing to the.
fancy OF some popular candidate
running for a higher Office. Mr.,
Whaley has done likewise, both
of them are entitled to praise
for this.
When Mr.. Whaley was in
Manning he cautioned his hear
ers to look out for The Manning
Times, that It would attack ';'r.
from then on, but Mr.. Whaley
was pretending to see spooks.
The Manning Times can sup
port Dennis without making at
tacks upon Whaley. It does not
need to manufacture some I'm.
aginary issue, nor does it need
to resort to misrepresentation to
give its support to the candidate
Of Its choice. Mr.. Whaley need
have no fear on this score from
Phe Manning Times. afa guilty
conscience pursues him he must
get away from it the best he
can.
The Times editor is personal
friend of Hon. E. j. Dennis, was
associated with him six years IN
the Senate, in that body he had
an opportunity to Judge OF the
man, and, while he has not al
ways agreed with Mr.. Dennis on
certain questions, inthe main they
were together. The legislation
seeking to disturb this section IN
ITS game and fish laws, Mr.. Den
MS was an able worker in behalf
sof the masses, and. one of the
strongest presentations against
the gun license bill that has ev.
er been delivered in the Senate
was delivered by e J Dennis OF
Berkeley, now a candidate for
Congress.
The Times editor gives his
support to Edward j. Dennis,
because he knows him to be
worthy, that he is competent.
and well qualified, broad and lib,
eral in his views. and a student
of public affairs. He has un-
bounded energy. and if elected
will labor day and night in the
interests of this whole district.
Edward Dennis will do all there
is to be done for the fortifca.
tions, the navy yard, the light
houses, and immigrant station
in and around Charleston,
and all of the other federal en-
terprises in this district, at the
same time, he will be an active
force in the agricultural depart
ment where Congressman Lever
: has been able to dc so much for
the farming interests. Dennis
is a farmer and a stock raiser,
therefore. from actural contact
he knows the needs of the farm
ers, and is well qualified to pre-
sent their claims.
Mr.. Dennis has demonstrated
time and again in the halls of
the legislature that he is in SYM
pathy with the laboring inter
ests, a scanning Of his record in
the general assembly will show
that, where the farmer Or the
laboring mans interests was in
volved, he always voted that
way. The people of the district
are now called upon to select a
Congressman to represent them,
and they have a choice between
a. man from the city of Charles
top, and one from the country
