Governor on Lobbying.
Following is the section of Gov.
Mannings message to which reference
IS made in the White resolution:
"fuD.ic hearings are very properly
accorded to those interested. VINO may
have important matters to present for
the consideration Of your committees,
and no doubt much valuable informa-
'ion IS gained in this way.
There is another side of this mat
ter, however, and it is to this other
side l desire to direct your attention.
I refer to what is generally known as
lobbying
Efforts to exert undue influence in
the shaping of legislation for the peo-
pie of South Carolina should be met
with condemnation in no uncertain
terms.
"You have been elected as the rep
resentatives of the people Of South
Carolina because of their confidence in
YOUR honesty and ability to care for
and protect the interests and welfare
of all the people, and it is to these peo-
pie VINO have, by their ballots, ex-
pressed this confidence in you, that
you must answer for your acts while
here. and not to the hirelings of those
who would have you legislate special
privileges for the few at the expense
of the many.
"Insult to Intelligence"
"Tnis practice of lobbying, either in
person or through literature sent by
mail to the different members, is an
insult to your intelligence and ability
to think for yourselves on questions
affecting the welfare and interests Of
the large body of people you repre-
senf and with whose needs you are
conversant.
81 apprehend you will not be infiu-
enced by such action, but feel it my
duty to call same to your attention at
this time merely as a warning.
The work of the professional lob
byist consumes your time, is nuls-
lnce and an indirect attempt to silence
he voice Of the people who are plead
ing for action that will result in the
greatest good for the greatest num-
ber.

of the people" S@M

The average New Yorker is disposed

surprise to him to learn that Chica-
