CONGRESSIONAL
CAMPAIGN OPENS
FRED DOMINICK ABLY DISCUSS
ES NATIONAL ISSUES
Ed McCravy and Sam Sherard
Make Speeches-About 200
Voters Including Few Wo-
men Hear Candidates

The congressional campaign for
the third district was launched at
Newberry last Saturday. Some 200
voters, including several women,
heard the candidates present their
claims to the voters of Newberry.
There was no demonstration for any
one, but all gave the speakers fine
attention. All of them were given
also. some applause. According to
the Easley Progress there was a
large Pickens county delegation here,
or on the way to Newberry, to boost
for the Hon. Ed McCravy. ''On to
Newberry" is the slogan they came
with, so the Progress says, roofing"
every step for Ed McCravy. We
trust they enjoyed their trip and we
will be glad for them to come again,
and may be some of these good fell
lows, seeing fine town, will come to
abide with us. So far as roofing"
goes it might help to win baseball
game, or sell real estate, but it does
not elect congressman, and we are
= going to vote for Fred Dominick
down this way, but that does not
prevent US giving these good fellows
right royal welcome into our
midst. There may have been some
Greenwood "rooters" here for the
Hon. Sam Sherard, we do not know,
but they too are welcome, we are
glad to have these good fellows and
are pleased to have them see our
good roads and our fine community.
County Chairman j. D. Wheeler
presided and made no speech, as was
proper in presiding officer, bat
simply presented the speakers and
each was given thirty minutes. The
Rev. L. P. Boland offered prayer.
Mr.. Dominick discussed in an able
manner some of the great issues be-
fore the people Of this countryN2t
this time, and his remarks evidenced
an intelligent familiarity with these
national problems. The tariff, which
is now before congress, he desig-
mated the greatest m6nstrosity that
had ever been presented to a con-
gress in the shape of. legislation. He
also gave his views on the educational
bill and the agricultural bloc and the
bonus, and the reason for his vote,
and his position on all these que5-
tions. Mr.. McCravy talked about
being born in Newberry and the
great love he had for the Newoerry
people and he wanted America for
Americans and immigration restricted
and discussed the labor problem and
thought the present trouble was due
to a misunderstanding and he favor
ed compulsory arbitration, end in
an impassioned manner stated that
he wanted to go to congress to shake
his finger in the face Of Nj. Dyer
and tell him what he thought Of the
Dyer anti-lynching bill by which it
is proposed to have all lynchers tried
in the federal courts. This bill has
already passed the congress and IS
now in the senate. 1t might be pro-
per to state here that While it was
before the congress Mr.. Domirick
wrote the minority report against
the passage of the bill, and also
made a speech against it. the other
Democrats signing the minority re-
port being Summers of Texas and
Montague of Virginia. Mr. Sher-
ard said he was sorry he was not
born in Newberry, but in the days
long ago he used to come Gown here
with his father, Yancey Sher2rd, and
help to "rcot" for base ball teams,
and he was not unfamiliar or 2n en-
tire stranger in this county, and all
three of the candidates protested
great personal friendship the one for
the other and promised to have a
very lovefeast of campaign and no
personalities, .2nd that is the way to
go about it, ard let the people make
up their MINDS without the aid Of
personal abuse or roofing or hur-
rahs Well, that is what the people
down this side will do, vote for the
man best fitted by training and ex-
perience to do the sob of represent
ing this great and wealthy and in
telligent district in the national
house of representatives. There are
