Will Vote For Wyatt Aiken

Il have never voted for Wyatt Aiken
for Congress-, said we'll known farm
er the other day, ''but am going to
vote for him this year, and I am doing
all can to get my friends and neigh,
bors to vote for him. am doing this
because of the outrageous fight that is
being made on him.
While have never voted for Mr..
Aiken, the gentleman continued, II
have never had anything against him.
1t just so happened that when he had
opposition preferred the other fellow.
And this year | had intended to vote
for one of his opponents, who ls nv
warm personal friend of long standing;
but 1 have made up my mind that un'
der the circumstances it is my duty to
vote for Aiken and shall do so.
Wyatt Aiken is clean man. honest
and decent. His position on all public
questions since he has been in Congress
has been sound. He has wonderful en-
ergy, and he has looked closely after the
interests of his constituents. He has
done as we'll as anybody else could have
done.
"And yet he is being fought most
outrageously by few people, mainly
one or two carpet-baggers who have
come into this section from the Lord
knows where, and by few degenerates
among our own people. They have ac
cused him of every political and person.

these charges and have found them to

is no question about
Now, if fight of this kind can be
successfully waged against man like
Wyatt Aiken, it can be waged against
any other man, and it will result in
driving decent men out of public life.
1t will prevent decent men from run
ming for office in the future, and we lust
can't afford that.
I'VE had a government in this state
once that was run by carpet-baggers,
negroes and scalawag native whites,
and we ought to remember it. I for
one don't want to return to anything of
that kind.
~ have talked with good many men
about this during the past week or
two, he concluded, land most of them
agree with my views. If the people
will look at them as do, we will get
together and elect Wyatt Aiken on the
first primary, and thus put an end to
this kind OF dirty politics in the Third
District. feel that we owe it to him
to do this, but more especially do feel
that the people owe it to themselves.
If we permit honest, clean men to be
driven out of public life by such meth
dds, we will rue the day, just as sure as
we live. Anderson Daily Mail.
