I dare raise my voice in behalf OF
the identical principle for which my
father fought in the COS, the doc

II stand squarely for economy;
believe in reorganization and coordi-
nation of governmental burdens and
departments; encouragement of those
things which tend to get Congress
back TO a pre-war basis of expenditure
of the peoples money should be CIV
en-; our present tax laws should be
amended to remove those features
which are oppressive to the people
and to industry. latitude express

Labor-"The voice of Labor is de-
nanding fair consideration, fair de-
clsions fairly arrived at, Of all prop
osals which concern Labor. The in
sidious impression that Labor in pol
itics will demand. more than that is
very properly resented by both Labor
and those who seek its vote. 1t does
not ask discrimination in favor Of
Labor, but rather than ii be not dis
criminated against. Ny attitude may
be summarized by the words Fair
and Friendly Yemassee, Labor
Day.
Farming Interests.-"I endorse the
organization, activities and accom-
plishments of the American Cotton
Association and have pledged my CO.
operation. 1t has accomplished more
for the farmer in six months than the
Congress has done for farming inter-
!ests in ten years. IS. c. Cotton

OUR COUNTRY.
One of the South Carolina candi-
dates for United States senate this
year is calling attention of our people
TO one of the most vital issues that
confronts the American people today.
1t is the issue of states rights
against a centralized federal govern
ment.
State sovereignty is absolutely neces-
sary to protect the rights and liber-
ties of the people under our form of
government. The founders OF this re-
public so recognized it and it is ap-
parent now.
No one will deny that our govern
ment is becoming more centralized in
Washington.
The sovereignty of the states is
gradually being undermined and TAX
en- away.
A continuance of this practice will
inevitably and absolutely lead to an
autrocracy in this country.
Will you sit passively by and sur
render what liberties you have left
of those your forefathers fought, suf-
fered and died to obtain for you and
turn your children over to an auto
cratic government?
If we surrender these liberties now
our children can only regain them
by revolution.
We say the Capitalization of our
government has gone for enough.
Let US put stop to it by peaceful
use of our ballots rather than TO have
our children stop it by revolution.
The Easley Progress.
George Warren is going to be very
much in the running for United
States senate. His doctrine of states
right is proving very popular. 1t
is argued against him that he is in
favor of whiskey, while as a matter
of fact he is the author of the pres
ent prohibition laws on the statutes
OF the state-Anderson Daily Mail.

Showing that he possesses Il high
degree of honor, George Warren Will
be called up higher, and that soon
