25 Years Till Philippines Ready.

Honolulu, Aug. 21.-Independence
for the Philippine Islands before the
next 25 years was opposed as "a
crime Of the first magnitude" by
Representative Randall, Prohibi-
ZIONIST, Of California, a member Of
the Congressional party touring the
Orient, who came here to-day aboard
the army transport Great Northern
on his way to the United States.
"You will find practically every
member Of the Congressional party
OF the same mind" he said. after
seeing the Philippine Islands it was
our almost unanimous verdict that
the inhabitants are not ready for In
dependence.
'It would be crime Of the first
magnitude to cast these people adrift
to try to shift for themselves. The
better educated Filipinos who are
not politicians are practically unani-
nous In opposition to independence.

TO THE-
Democratic Voters
OF -
Oconee County:

On account Of my official duties
and the inclement weather, I find
that it will be "impossipble for me to
see all Of the voters in this county
before the primary election on Aug
ust the 31st, so I am taking this
method Of soliciting your careful
consideration Of my candidacy.
Since l asked your suffrage four
years ago the rights of our country
to sail her vessels upon the seas
when her business required, and to
maintain the Constitution as out
lined by our forefathers, has been
challenged by the German Empire,
who believed that Might was Right.
During that struggle for Liberty
and Justice our Government called
upon me to render q service which
was very unpleasant duty to per-
form, and even had | so desired I
could not have honorably escaped
this service.
We acted upon the cases that were
presented to us without fear or ia
vor: We delivered the record Of our
acts and doings to the Government
that asked us to do the work, and
we have received an honorable dis
charge. and | wish to deny, very
emphatically, the charges made
against me by some Of the citizens
OF this county that received money
or other valuable consideration for
deferring any registrant from mill
tary service during that war. Most
Of the cases complained Of we're cases
wholly within the jurisdiction of the
District Board Of Greenwood, S. c.,
and would respectfully refer you
to that board in speaking of those
cases handled by that board instead
or charging them against us.

OF my services to our Country my re-

supporter Of the Regional Banking
System, and holds Il high position on
seven committees in the Senate.
This is only a short review of the
Senator's work in the Senate. We
have seven members in the lower
house and two in the upper house
Of Congress, and Of the nine mem
bcrs, eight are lawyers, and Senator
Smith Is the only farmer there. I
admire la wyers, but do feel that we
ought to keep in Congress the only
farmer we have there. Many Of the
lawyers are able and patriotic, but
whenever | think Of them l am re-
minded Of the picture in the Blue
Back Speller, which represents two
neighboring farmers that had a dis
pute about COW, and one of the
farmers was holding the COW by the
horns, and the other by the tail, and
a lawyer on each side milking
Can we afford. with the important
problems to be solved in the next
Congress, to send a new man to the
Senate, for he would have 10 be
there for years. however bright he
may be, before he could Lave the ex-
perience and influence that Senator
Smith has? Shall we turn out one
that has proved himself worthy to
make an experiment? l am a farmer
and feel that he has greatly bene-
flied me and every other laboring
man in the State.
IL there were anything in the rec
ord Of Senator Smith showing that
he had not made an able and con-
scientious Senator, these lawyers al
ter him would certainly have discov-
cred 1t, for notice that even a man
at Washington, d. c., Is trying TO
dictate to our people Of South Caro-
lima who they shall elect to the Sem
ate. One Of his principal objections
to Senator Smith seems to be that
he answered only about half of the
roll calls since there. The surprise
to me Is that he, with all his i'm
portant committee assignments, could
answer to that many, but he certain
~ did answer to important roll calls.
A number of the roll calls were un-
doubtedly on non-essential matters.
This man writing against Senator
Smith from Washington, D. c.,
seems to be lawyer, and the failure
OF all these lawyers to uncover in
| Senator Smiths record in the Senate
anything against him convinces me

in this artic.o one one-hundredth Of
the things done by him as our SEN

cially the farmers and other labor
ing classes. He was once president
of the Cotton Growers Association

every effort to Increase the price Of
cotton. After becoming our Senator
