"Payr.ollers in Charleston and
at the state institutions are a.
mong the greatest 'ioiners' on
EARTH" according to Robert II. G..
Kay, Republican state chair
man, "and the taxpayers pay
their dues in innumberable or
CARNATIONS.
Compared with expenditures
for other things" he went on,
"the monay the taxpayers are
assessed for the dues of public
employee in organizations they
choose to become affiliated with
doesn't amount to a great deal.
But that amount has grown
greatly since 1888, and the tax
payers ought to know about it.
''In the Cornwell administra-
ton, the state paid out $549.70
for dues of it's officers and en-
ployees. In the last year of the
Kump administration, taxpayers
were knocked off for $4,317.94
for association assessment for
the country club et;;' and last
year, the taxpayers put up
$7,O69.67 for this purpose.
This figure, of course, repres-

HAlLANAN CAUSTlC OF
new DEAL M|SQUOITS

Charleston, Feb u. Taking to
task those New Dealers who
seek to "LincolniZe" their fueh-
rer, Franklin d. Roosevelt, and
misquote Lincoln to do, Walter
S. Hallanan, Republican, national
c6pmitteeman, addressing an
overflow meeting of enthusiastic
party members at the Lincoln
day dinner here, said:
you will hear the New Deal
flame throwers, such as Mr.. Ickes
miSquoting Lincoln as having
warned the American people not
to swap horses while crossing
a stream. .
"What Lincoln actually said"
Hallanan pointed out, was that
it was not wise to swap horses
at such a time unless you got a
better horse.
"The Republicans party pro
poses to offer the American pco-
pie better horse, and the
swap is going to be made just
as certainly as the sun will rise
tomorrow morning.

ment that after the convention
of 1864 had nominated him che
did not allow himself to suppose

with the "dcclaration if Pres.

For the first time in more than

Attorney Payne called attention
to this fact whe, in opening his
address, he said:
"Many years ago the beloved

tinction, for he was UNIVERSAL

Republicanism and the love of
Abraham Lincoln were no
stronger in his heart than mine;
and regardless Of what some few
may say, the fundamental atti-
tude Of my people, North and
South, is no different from my
own.
While our perspective is not
far enough removed for ALL of
us to see clearly and fully ap-

Nissitudes suffered by Lincoln
In skctching the early begin
'nPs Of Lincoln, he pointed out
hat Lincoln was so humbly
born that the most destitute
could not envy the condition OF
his birth; and that he failed so
often that few would desire to
endure the vicissitudes Lincoln
suffered.
He succeeded to the Presiden-
cy, Mr.. Payne said during q
period Of great domestic unrest.
Civil was was imminent; the
fate of the Union was in the bal
ance. And in the end, so bitter
was his cup that even those OPP
posed to him prayed that it
would pass him by. The whole
pattern of his life seems to have
been shaped by an exacting desti

that end accomplished, the cur
tain fell. His untimely death left
unhealed the wounds Of war TO
