ufactured by us. The rest is sent to
other sections of the world. We shout.
endeavor to get all the benefits of
manufacturing our raw material
wholly. Our farms would be increas-
ed in value greatly. 1t also increases
the revenue of banker and of mer-
chant. We must increase three times
over the manufacture. No member of
congress has ever helped to bring in
manufacturing for cotton. No coun-
try has ever sent out one-fourth of it's
raw material and grown rich. Ens
land is kept up by her manufactured
articles and by her ships that carry
her manufactured products to other
countries. We must build up our in
dustries so as to get this value. A
country in which agitators seek to
stir up the labor against the capital
is on the down grade.
"The merchant marine is another
point. We have built great canal
What have we to send through that
canal? Government has a few war
ships, but we have no merchant ves-
sells. Our government pays out about
$50 millions of dollars to other ma
tions to carry our merchandise for us.
"I am in favor Of building up the
roads of this country. There should
be provision for the wear and tear of
the rural carrier team.
GAS to rip Van Winkle,' I do not
feel that Wilson, Meador, Underwood
and Kitchen are urging you to send
Mr.. johnson back to congress. Il do
not.
"Mr. Johnson is running upon his
record, as he stated in his Greenville
speech. That reason is the only thing
l shall discuss. 1t is the duty of one
occupying such a position to be i'm
partial. He must stand by right, fit
ness and not the question of friend
ship: have been mayor of the city
OF Union. / defy any man to state
that have been partial. Appointing
men is duty that falls to congress-
man. If / am elected I will not
shift the responsibility of appoint
ment to the shoulders of the electo-
rate: am employing no money.
receive letters asking for money.
do not propose to hire any such help.
There have been people who have got
ten positions since this political cam
palgn, were my friends, are now nv
enemies. When such man comes
around, cotton statistic gatherer, a
revenue collector, preaching for John
son, ask him what Job he has gotten
or who kin to him has gotten job.
"The only measures that Mr.. John
son has gotten through were pension
and relief bills. He has never gotten
through single constructive bill.
You do not need a pension attorney
in congress. This great district de-
mands a man on the job that will get
through constructive legislation. Do
you believe Mr.. McAdoo turned loose
that SO millions ?-do you believe that
Mr.. johnson caused him to do that?
Why did he not get some of the mon
ey for Union, Clinton and Laurens?
This shows favoritism that should
not be allowed. If Mr.. McAdoo saws
one bank is to be built up to the det-
riment of another, he is not a Demo-
crat.
$50 far as any rumors or reports
are concerned, have put out no scan
dals nor reports, nor have I hired any
body to go about doing such work for
me. If you hear any, rumors attack
ing Mr.. Johnson other than his official
record, do not charge it to Duncan.
He will not carry on his campaign in
that way.
