To the Editor OF The Columbia
Record:
Our State is disgraced by her gov
ernor; our honor hangs on strand;
we will redeem her from the curse OF
derision by electing our Sumter man.
We are lovers of peace and pros
perity, as this is our own native land
and theft, corruption and debauchery
have no favor in the eyes Of this

We need clean men in office and
churches; we need men Of pure mo-
tives. Of right minds; we need men
in political warfare who are to the
front in honorable life.
We have others. true men of dis
tinction and men Of true principles Of
right, but the man to choose for our
leader is the man who led out in the
fight.

charge at an early date. according to
announcement made here yesterday
by member of the Baptist hospital
committee. The purchase price was

Incorporate Talk.


1t strikes us that Messrs. Jennings
and Pollock, candidates for the senate,
have been hurting themselves by
their use Of Incorporate language.
They have been using ridicule and
denunciation where argument would
have been better.
At one campaign meeting Mr.. Jen-
nings said he hoped to "see Blease-
ism buried face downward and buri-
ed SO deep that when it scratches out
it will land in hell" At another
meeting Mr.. Pollock told a heckler
that lone Bleaseite can make more
noise than five human beings" Their
speeches have abounded in utterances
Of this kind.
OF course, in the heat Of a political
campaign speech a man will say
things that he would not say in calm.
er moments. We are not disposed to
take seriously all that a man says in
a campaign speech.
But so many people have condemn
ed Blease for his Incorporate speeches
that they cannot refrain from blaming
Jennings and Pollock also. Bitter
ness, factionalism. abuse are the
same. whether coming from Blease or
Jennings and Pollock, or anybody else.
Bleaseism would be as objectiOnabl Bile
under any other name. We want to
see Blease defeated, and we want to
see Bleaseism stamped out, but we
10 not want to have it substituted
for something else just as bad.-An-

Pat Norton De-

SUvS Nk-0SkMu
We Want q Congressman Who
Can b Relied on and Knows
What People Want
Congressman Norton is a can
d.date for second term in con-
gress and one good term de-
serves another, his personal char
acte1istics are we'll known, he is
q fighter and when a fight is on
he is in the thickest Of it, he is
a tall strong active man, just
such q man as the Third district
needs in congress.
Before becoming Secretary Of
the state Of North Dakota he
lived in Ramsey county, and the
Devils Lake journal has this to
say about his qualifications:
Many men go to congress.
Few Of them actually accomplish
much while there. The tendency
is for the average congressman
to resemble a small frog in a big
puddle when he reaches the ma
tional capital. When a new con-
gressman, in his first term, shows
q distinct personality and the
power to do things he is worthy
of more than passing notice.
Congressman Norton, without
question is an unusual personai-
ty. He is a positive character.
He stands out in peoples minds.
When we think Of agressiveness,
old fashioned lighting ability
and downright brains and shreW6
ness. He is willing to take a
stand. This has been a striking
part Of the man ever since the
day when, as a tall young fellow
he used to lead the forces of the
Ramsey county progressives in
their early fights against the
machine organization Of the coun-
ty. In those days he was known
as a man wAosopuld be relied on
to lead a fight II necessary to
accomplish something. He has
carried this characteristic with
him to congress and is beginning
to demonstrate how valuable this
ability to do things is in the
make up Of one Of our represen-
tatives.
1t is in his bill establishing a
rural credit system under the de-
partment Of agriculture that he
has brought forth a piece of
true constructive legislation.
He provides for repayment OF
loans, the care Of administration
of the department handling the
matter, and the backing of the
government fer the entire propo-
s.tion.
We predict that Norton's bill
will have a distinct influence on
any rural credit legislation
passed at Washington and We
believe that his basic idea the
financial backing Of the govern
ment is the one thing, the abs9-
lutely necessary thing, to obtain
funds as cheaply, readily and
hAndily as we need them to meet
the conditions Of the interest bur
