STRONG APPEAL TO DEMOCRATS


John Gary Evans. National Demo
cratic Committeeman from South
Carolina, has issued the following
statement,to the Democrats OF Soutn
Carolina:
Every man of sense who owns his
home. or a place of business, carries
an insurance policy covering us loss
BY tre. This is called good business
and the man or woman who neglects
10 invest the small amount necessary
10 pay the premium on the pollcy Is
CONSIDERED foolish indeed. what II
should tell you that today every farm
house, city house and business place
IN the south is threatened with de-
strucIion and that by a small cash
contributor, you could secure an in
surance policy against loss, Wouio
you make it! Certainly you would
and gladly. The campaign being
wased against the south by the Re-
publican party, threatens the peace
and happiness OF your homes, the
prosperity of your business and your
very CIVILIZATION itself. l have never
known a meaner, bitterer and more
contemplate sectional fight since
the campaign Of 1850.
Republican speakers take as thelr
slogan, Turn the rebels out" ana
they speak of the influence OF our
statesmen in Washington as though
they were alien enemies. Even ire
Republican candidate for President
has descended to the level of the ex-
IRENE south hater and has openly
promised if he is elected to take
hand by Federal interference with
so-cailed southern. outrages against
me blacks. Their hatred or Presl-
dent Wilson is not because OF his
autocratic ways or his advocacy OF the
League of Nations. but by reason OF
the fact that through the enactment
OF the Federal Reserve Act. the Farm
ers' Loan Act. and other legislation
he has deprived Wall Street and the
money lenders of their power to con-
troll the currency, the banks OF the
country and destroy the business men
and farmers of the south and west
by causing panics at will. For the
first time in sixty years, the banks
of the south have loaned money TO
Wall Street at higher rates OF interest
than they could get in the south. TINS
has amazed and dumfounded the
high financiers Of the north and they
are determined to put an end TO II
by furnishing the Republican commit
tee with unlimited funds to buy the
- presidency. The Democratic party
can expect nothing from the million
aires, but depends upon our farmers,
laboring men and business men OF
the south to help win the fight. Won't
you help us save the house from be-
ing burned by the Republican radl-
Gals? All of you have more wealth
than at any time sice the War
Between the States. You owe 1t to
the Democratic party. Don't be de-
ceiyed and go to sleep. This Ia the
most vital period in our history and
we can only help by sending money
to fight the devil with fire. Our votes
are safe, but funds are needed to SEND
speakers to the west to reach the
men and women whose interests are
the same as ours, and to contradict
the lies that are being spread broad
cast by the unprincipled Republican
office seekers. Don't wait too long.
Do 1t now and let the world know
that you are awake to the danger.
Stand to your leader who is making
such a gallant fight in your behalf.
Send your dollars today to General
Jones and save the state.
