mouse. OF which Fred II. Dominica was
one. submitted a report in which II
was recommended that the harmless
little bill be stricken out and lave tho
following bill substituted III lien
taereof: "A bill to authorize and en-.
power the board Of directors OF the
state Dispensary to grant perm
the establishment and operation for
the sale of beer ly retail or otherwise
in cities Of over 10000 population
etc. Section two of this monstrosity
rcadf as follows: THAT said permits
be continued and he OF force for n
term OF four years unless revoked for
cause by the state board of directors
and the holders thereof shall have the
power to manufacture. bottle and sell,
ny retail Or otherwise now provided
by law"
This bill raised such Juror that
the members Of the free conference
committee felt 1t necessary to sign
the statement to be found on uage G80
and GSl Of the Houst Journal of 1902
in Which they stated that they signed
TINS free conference report. "whcn
brought to lis by Mr.. Dominick OF said
committee, with the understanding
that 1t was to correct defect or sun
ply an omission in a law which was
passed by the last session OF the legis-
iature. This explanation was given
by MeSsrs. Hough, Dougless, Tatum
and Butler. who all stated that they
did not read the report but took Mr..
Dominick's word for it, It appears
from the record that the offcnsc was
SO grave that concurrent resolution
was introduced which stated that
the report OF tie committee on free
conference on said bill was signed
under misapprchension. induced by
misrepresentation made to them by
one OF the confcrees on the part of
the house Of representatives" and a.
committee wac appointed to inquire
into and investigate. t"i when the
people OF Newbcrry got through with
Mr. Dominick and left him out of tile
hext legislature it showed plainly
enough that they had investigated and
inquired into the situation sufficient
lor their purpose. Surely the pcoplc of
this district do not want it to 20 on
record in Washington that on account
OF the Misrepresentation of a repre-
sentative from this proud old state It
would he necessary to have Joint in
vestigation by the senate and house
OF representatives.
The Question for the people of this
district Is, do we want Aiken with his
mi:!nterprctation of democratic nrin-
ciples to suit himself and the steel
corporation and his lacy OF harmony
with Wilson and Bryan? Do we want
Dominick whose record shows that he
was better friend in 1902 to the cit
lZens Of Columbia and Charleston, who
wanted to manufacture and. sell beer,
than to the people in Ncwherry coun-
ty and who when opportunity came to
help the mill people. voted against
them? Or do we want Evanc who has
made OF himself what he is today
WHO has stood at the froefront of
progress in his community and coun-
ty. who has studied the issues before
tho American congress and mastered
them. and who will be representa-
tive OF the plain honest people OF the
third congressional district II he Ia
elected.
The question must be answered by
the voters OF this district on tho 25th
day OF August and I await their YER
dict In perfect confidence that the
peoples Judgment will be In favor OF
mo and pledge you in advance thnt
oil OF my time and talents shall be
give tho tho advancement and true
representation Of my people.
