l was very much interested In the
congressional campaign and espe-
cially the meeting at Anderson. 1t |
was really amusing to see how our
present congressman Hon. Wyatt !
Aiken, twisted and squirmcd under |
the attacks OF his opponents. His cx-
plantations were really ridiculous and
the more Mr.. Aiken explained the
more untenable his position seemed. |
Mr.. Aiken said the Steamship
Trust7 told him, that is It's represent
tatives, that they really wanted The |
Free Tolls" done away with We
all know 1t WAS a case Of the Rabbit
begging not TO be thrown Into the !
briar patch-and yet Mr. Aiken had |
the audacity to hand that out to an
Anderson county audience. The ex-I
planation did not explain though. |
Every true American Democrat knows |
that free tolls through the Panama
Canal Is u ship. subsidy"

putting It into the Golfers Of tie ship
owners. And to our utter surprise |
what do we find on page three Of the |
Daily Mail Of August 7th. We find
John l.. McLaurin coming TO IL. rcs-
cue OF Mr.. Aiken. Mr.. McLaurln Is a |
political outcast Of the democratic |
party Of South Carolina and he owes
his predicament to this same thing Of
voting against the people. After that

get back into the good graces Of the |
True Democrats OF South Carolina-l
but all to no avail. And the latest re-
pudiation OF Mr.. McLaurin was by the |
"Bleasites." He cut a double e-back-ac-
tion summersault and landed in the |
Blease camp. But after they looked |
him over they decided they did not
need him. And now Mr.. Aiken's
friends are trying to justify his acts
by this same &C urley-headed john

Mr.. Aiken did not explain that vote
OF his against the "Puro Food and
Drugs Act" to the satisfaction of the
voters Of Anderson and the Third |
District. II you want the record in the |
matter ask Mr.. Aiken to send you
copy OF the Congressional Record of |
June 23d, 1905. Look on page 1856 and !
you Will finI Mr.. Aiken along with 16

ADDeville county. a part OF the third
congressional district has had the
congressman for 20 years. What
right or claim does Mr.. Aiken put up
to the Anderson county voters for a !
continuance of their support? Why
go into another county for your con-
gressman when we have q man OF
ability-one If elected will work In
season and out of season for the
whole district. A man who was born
and raised In Anderson county. A
man who helps you pay the taxes OF
your own county. A man who has
your county at heart. A man who at
all times will be on the Job. why.
tell John A Horton, your home
man, to stand aside till Mr. Aiken
has server ten more years In con-
gress Did you treat your county
man right to vote for the Ahbeville
man 1t is customary In other coun-
ties to take care of the home man
first. Why. NJ. Aiken himself, deep
down in his heart kcows that John
A. Horton deserves the support of
his home people. but for the love OF
the salary attached to the office, he
will still continue to- try and per-
suade you to leave your home man
at home and continue to send him,
(Mr. Aiken) to congress Indefinitely.
No one knows better than Mr.. Aiken
that he has held this honor long
enough.
Mr. Dominick will come. TO you
Anderson voters md insist that you
ask Mr. Horton to stand aside this
time and give him your vote. This
will not be treating your home man,
with the proper respect that is Just
ly due him. Mr.. Voter. OF Anderson
county: Vote for; Mr.. Horton. your
home man in the tirst primary. and 4
II you do this he win mot. only
be in the second race, but he will be
your next congressman. Think. 1t
over. Will you do> 1t? Anderson
county will poll nearly 1000 votes
on the 25th of August and o good ma
tority OF this vote should appear IN
the Horton column, stand to your
home man like men.---Ady, .gs..
