POLITICAL ADVERTISEMENT

Address, OF Senator f..
d. Smith to the People
of South Carolina
wish to express to the voters of my State my heart
felt appreciation of the generous support given me in
the election last Tuesday received more than 10000
votes my nearest opponent, and came within
very few votes of a majority.
The issues before the people are clear cut.
Three powerful interests are endeavoring to bring
about my defeat.
FIRST, The cotton exchanges account of the leg
islaton had passed fixing it so that they could no
longer deal in fictitious cotton and exploit the real cot
ton of our real farmers .
SECOND, the whiskey interests desire my defeat
to advertise to the world that South Carolina is
repudiang her stand prohibition.
THIRD, the great financial institutions of Wall Street
oppose me. The reason is that by my work in having
adopted the proviso to Section 49, of the Federal Re-
serve Act, the Southern farmers cotton became basis
of credit Because Of this the money power the manp-
uators the spectators and gamblers the New York
Cotton Exchange are working for my defeat.
They knowing that am the only Simon Pure farmer
in the United States Senate, and that l have been
working for the past twelve years to keep them from
using cotton for their selfish interests, and
knowing that by being advanced to the head of the
Agricultural Committee of the Senate my power will
be greater than before, they sparng effort
o means to defeat me.
Unlike my opponent have done and doing all I
to wipe out actionaism in South Carolina, so we
all cooperate and pull together for profitable price
for main money crop-cotton, and for the develop
of all the industrial and other interests of the
State
We have these selfish interests opposed to us, but
going to win. The people of South Carolina do
not backward, and they will not be deceived by
"camouaged" arguments and false reports. The best
years of life have been given to the service of the
people of my State, and my fists not only doubled
but going to strike every enemy of the best inter-
ess of South Carolina
Thanking you again for your confidence already ex-
pressed and with assurances for the future, | am
Yours faithfully,
E D. SMITH

Five years later Mr.. Hoy said: Il
