THE COLUMBIA RECORD SAID
"The manly conduct of George
Warren, of Hampton, must commend
itself to the people of South Carolina
The generous conduct which he has
displayed will merit for him the re-
spect and the appreciation of the
people of his State"
A FEW QUOTATIONS FROM
/, SPEECHES MADE BY WARREN
States Rights.-"Because I stand
for the Declaration Of Independence,
because I advocate the Constitution
of Jefferson, because I repeat the
identical words of Calhoun, because
I dare raise my voice in behalf of the
identical principle for which my IA
ther fought in the COS, the doctrine
Of States Rights, am unjustly
charged with being opposed to pro-
hibition.-Democratie Convention at
Hampton.
81 stand squarely for economy; I
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 bas:s OF expendi-
ture of the peoples money should be
given; our present tax laws should
be amended to remove those features
which are oppressive TO the people
and to industry. latitude express
ed in Columbia.
Labor.-"The voice of Labor is de-
manding fair consideration, fair de-;
cisions fairly arrived at, of all propos-,
ais which concern Labor. The in
sidious impression that Labor in
politics will demand more than that
is very properly resented by both
Labor and those who seek it's vote. It
does not ask discrimination In favor
of Labor, but rather than 1t be not
Disseminated against. My attitude
may be summarized by the words
Fair and Friendly."-Yemassee,
Labor Day.
Farming Interests.-I endorse the
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."-S. c. Cotton
Association, Hampton Branch, at
Hampton.
OUR COUNTRY.
One of the South Carolina candi-
dates for United States senate this
year is calling the attention of our
people to one of the most vital is
sues that confronts the american
people today.
1t is the issue of states rights
against centralized federal govern
ment.
State sovereignty is absolutely ne
cessary to protect the rights and lib
critics of the people under our form
of government. The founders Of this
republic so recognized it and it is
apparent 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
autocracy in this country.
Will you sit passively by and sur
render what liberties you have left
of those your forefathets 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 centralization of our
government has gone for enough.
Let us put stop. to it by a peace
full use of our ballots rather than to
have our children stop it by a revolu-
tion.-The Easley Progress.
George Warren is going to be very
much in the running for u. S. senate.
His doctrine of states right is prov
ing 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 present prohibition
laws on the statutes of the state
