had him make speeches in certain
parts of the state in it's behalf.
Would Mr.. Cocker, DR.. Long and
! Governor Manning call on a disloy,
al man to help in a movement to
win the war?
They did not call on Mr.. Wyatt
Aiken and he did not assist, at
least, we have not heard of it.
Neither do they tell the voters of
this district that John M. Kinard, a
leading banker of Newberry, a
cousin of the Chief Justice of the
State, not a political supporter of
Mr.. Dominick, in undertaking to
raise the Third Liberty Loan in this
county, called. on Mr.. Dominick to
stump the county in behalf of the
government and it's loan.. Would
Mr.. John M. Kinard call into the
services of the government MI. Fred
: H. Dominick unless he knew him to
be a patriot, a supporter Of the adj
m~inistration, and a man with ability
to help?
In Abbeville county, MI. J. Allen
Smith, ST., Mr.. J.. Allen Smith, Jr.,
and other kinsmen of Mr.. Wyatt
Aiken have been at the head of the
movements to sell the different is
sues of Liberty bonds in this county.
His brother-in-law Mr.. VIM. M.
Barnwell, handled one of the issues
as Chairman in this county, but we
have not heard that Mr.. Wyatt All
ken was called into service of these
gentlemen to make speeches to
promote the movement. Do the peo-
pie here at home think Mr.. Aiken is
so great a man that he should for
yer represent this district in
Congress? If they do, pray tell us
why it is that he has not been in the
foremost ranks of the government
workers in these movements?
Mr.. Walter H. Hunt, a distin-
guished lawyer of the Newberry
Bar, a man with ability to sit upon
the bench in South Carolina as a
special circuit judge, a president of
a cotton mill in Newberry, was at
the head of the Y. M C. A. move
ment in Newberry County when
money was to be raised for that
movement. He called upon Mr..
Fred H. Dominick to make speeches
in the county in that good move
ment, and Mr.. Dominick responded.
Would MI. Walter H.. Hunt call up
on a disloyal man, or a man UNI
friendly to the government to assist
in raising money to fight the gov
ernment's battles? =. =
Mr.. Amos B. Morse was at the
head Of that same movement in
Abbeville County, but we have not
heard that Mr.. Wyatt Aiken was
one of his conspicuous %co-workers;
althoug, he is related to Mr.. Morse,
and Mr.. Morse Is a friend and sup
porter of his as we believe. Neither
did Mr.. Joel s. Morse, another kinS:
man, when he was raising money
for the Red Cross in the recent
drive call on Mr.. Wyatt Aiken to
do any of the preaching. Why?
Simply because Mr.. Aiken is not re-
~cognized in his own community as
a man who has the ability to &C.
complish things, and when it comes
to doing things somebody else does
it. Not so in Mr.. Dominick's home.
Why then should Mr.. Aiken beat
Mr.. Dominick, and why should Mr..
Dorlinick be charged with disloyal-
ty and be accused of being an enc
my of the administration? Think
: about it neighbor!
The administration in Washington
: should know it's own friends. The
administration has not failed to tell
the country when a man has been
disloyal and an enemy of Woodrow
Wilson. 1t must seem passing
! strange that if Mr.. Dominick is dis.
!, loyal and not supporting the admin
~istration in Washington in all. es.
sential matters, the administration
