We know that u home banks have
sweated blood during the past two
years trying to make arrangements
in order that vi people would not
be closed out, and if the Federal Re-
serve Board, knowing as they did of
the approaching depression, had
shown the same consideration and
had been as considerate in calling
their loans as the local bankers were,
Jul State would be in a better con-
dition today. He believes that farm
paper should be permitted to come
into the Federal Reserve System
whenever and wherever it bears the
endorsement of a member bank,
even though it also bears the endorse
ment of a non-member bank. He also
believes that the Federal Reserve
Board should have larger discretion
airy powers in the extension of credit
and is convinced that the products
of the farmer in the warehouse, in
elevator or other protected storage,
or in evidence upon the farm should
be more generously recognized and
considered.
Having had five years experience
fighting the boil weevil, and know
ing that calcium arsenate is the only
effective poison against this pest,
Sam Sherard believes that this poison
should be sold at cost to our farm
ers by the government, and he will
work to have it done.
He will support federal aid for
good roads, public health, vocation
al training in u high schools, and
in draining swamp lands. He also
believes that the State and the Fed

He will strive to prevent future
wars and the hatreds which cause
them. He believes in peace and in
the reduction of armament by inter-
national agreement, in some lasting
organization among nations where
international questions can be sat-
isfactorily worked out.
The Volstead Act is the law of the
land, and he believes that it should
be rigidly enforced, and he will not
vote to readjust light wines or beer,
or to weaken this legislation in any
way whatsoever. He believes in the
protection of women and children in
industry, and will heartily support
adequate appropriations for the
Woman's Bureau of the department
of labor.
He endorses the Smith-Lever Act
providing funds for the cooperative
demonstration work among the far
mers, and the home demonstration
work among the women. He believes
in Federal Aid in the removal of il
literacy both among our adults and
children. He will insist that any Fed
eral Aid for schools in South Caro-
lima be ABSOLUTELY under the
control of the educational authori-
ties in South Carolina, and that the
policy with reference to text books,
etc., be dictated and carried out by
our own people, through the office
of the State Superintendent of Edu-
cation.
He is opposed to the unrestricted
immigration of foreigners, and will
insist that those who are allowed to
enter and enjoy the benefits of our
government must speak the English
language and be Americanized, and
that they must prove themselves
worthy before being allowed to vote
or own property.
He endorses adjusted compensa-
ton for ~ex-service men, and will
strive to eliminate the red tape in
the veterans bureau and make it
function so as to promptly handle
all worthy claims from disbaled vet
Grams and their dependents.
