and not the man who would best
represent the interest of Greenville,
but the man who would best repre-
sent the interests of the entire Fourth
Congressional District should be en-
trusted with the commission of its
people on August "a. He who is
the most highly qualified to serve
equally and imparti,ally Spartanburg
Greenville, Laurens and Union is
he who should take the vacant seat
in the national House of Representa-
tives.
The issue in the present contest
looms far above any considerations
of county pride or county rivalry,
for it has no small responsibility that
must be shouldered by the next
Representative from this District
who must own enough brains and
enough force of character to make
the voice of his people heard on the
momentous question which will be
threshed out by the next session of
Congress. The solution of the prob
lens of immigration, of helping the
Southern farmer, of determining the
policy of the republic toward the
warning nations of the world, calls
for man of strong mould from this
District. A man of maturity of
thought and action, of experience in
legislation, of ripened counsel, of
reasonable conversation in course, of
caution, of discretion and of wisdom
should mirror the sentiment of our
people in the national crisis which
will face the Congress of theUnited
States. He must be Representative
who will work in sympathy with the
progam of the Administration AIN
support in every essential the posi-
tion of the great leader of the Denu.
cratic party who is like the Chief
Magistrate of the American people,
County pride eand county rivalry
should not and must not denominate
the election.
1t is out of deep conviction that
he is the man best qualified to repre-
sent this District that the Greenville
News, heretofore silent in this cam
paign, appeals to the people of the
whole Fourth Congressional District
to elect B. A. Morgan to serve them
in the lower house of the national
legislation. In recommending MIN
without reservation to the consider
alton of the entire electorate and in
bearing willing witness as to what
manner of man Mr.. Morgan is the
News does not and will noo criticize
Capt. Samuel Nichols whose ability,
energy and personal magnetism have
long been recognized.
At the very output of this contest
Mr.. Morgan declared as his main
plank that he stands for "an equality
of service to all men," From close
observation of him and familiarity
with his legislative and political
record, the Greenville News is of the
opinion that, if elected, he would in
deed render equal and impartial SER
vice to all counties, to all sections
and to all men. His absolute fairness
is known to all who know him; his
life long he has not only reached but
practiced square deal for all men.
No man in public life in this County
has ever enjoyed greater measure of
the respect and reliance of its people
than he. To every trust he has been
faithful and to every duty responsive.
People of every walk of life
who have known him and dealt with
him for nearly forty years bear tes-
timony to the electorate of their
faith in his impartiality, in his un-
common ability for the public servic,
and in his fidelity to every duty.
They have faith chat he would rep
resent all the people of this Distict
and not merely any fraction of them
for they, knowing him, know that
his heart has ever beat in sympathy
with the great mass of the people
whose welfare would be his con-
stant guiding star. For his life
has been the short and simple story of
the poor boy who came from the
cornfield to the city and by the
sweat of his brow won himself a
place in the world.
By his experience, by his maturity,
by his record, by his principles, by
his character, by his faith in his
fellow men and their confidence in
him, B. A. Morgan is thoroughly
qualified to represent the entire Dis
trict in the Congress of the United
States and he should be elected
