(EDITORIAL.)
Shall thci Depmeratic, Party Rule I Will the Democrats of Beaufort
County go tact on their record for decades f In a word, are they to
cast asula and scatter to the forewinds the cardinal principle adopted
unanimously by the voters two years ago in convention assembled
whgn they said in words so plain and simple?words a kindergmrtner
school chiM oonld understand'and digest?
"We'ft^or a two-term policy for all county officers." '
Some claim that the resolution as passed then .was ambiguous,
opaque a^d ftould not be understood. The resolution was read in open
convention and passed without a dissenting voice. %
Are the Democrats of Beaufort County going to repudiate their own
stand and sty to the outside world we did it but we don't care so ltog
as certain folk want office we shall stand by them notwithstanding wo
voted for a two-term officer.
Is this Democracy* Is this the manner in which onr forefathers
did things I Have we relegated" ourselves back to the strata of the
Pagan and gre to have no regard for our conscience or our word.
DEMOCRATS OF RpAUFORT COUNTY BE HEX?BE
DEMOCRATS OF DEMOCRATS.
, Certain candidates are before the people of Beaufort County today
upon the Two-Term Policy PLATFORM.
They have entered the arena taking as good faith the resolution
passed -two years ago to be binding upon all good Democrats, yet notwithstanding
tips, soiAe arc saying I am in favor of certain candidates
notwithstanding I approve and Voted for the Two-Term Resolution
unanimously passed by the Democratic County .Convention. Once
again the question is asked in all seriousness IS THIS DEMOC*
RACY t IS THIS THE DEMOCRACY OUR ANCESTORS
WOULD HAVE DIED BY IN THE DAYS THAT ARE GONE?
Let the Democrats of Beaufort County face the issue squarely and answer
like mem Has the time come when the escutcheon of Beaufort
County democracy is for the .first time in its history to allow its banner
to trial in the dust by enemies withhk its own rank* ? Can we afford
it i Are wc in a position to give such a policy our approbation !
v OUR WORD SHOULD BE OUR BOND.' This is some business
men's slogan, why should it not be as binding upon those to publish
their belid! politically ?
The Frimarie8 arc to be held Saturday next The Candidates are
before t]ie peqple. Those desiring the support of the voters advocating
only a two-term in office are clean, worthy citizens. They have fought
many a'baftle4 for those who would hold office for life. Should they
be. relegated to the background just because the lifc-tiiners would continue
in offioo just because the offices are fat and lucrative ?
Such men aa W. W. Hooker or 8. B. Windley for Sheriff and W. T.
Hudnell or Wilbur H. Ross for Register of Deeds, now before the
people of Beaufort County, need no commendation from any source.
Since their .majority they have been on the picket line fighting for the
great principles of the white man's party. They believe in only two
terms in office; they believe in giving the other fellow a chance and
not trying to grab everything in sight for fourteen yeart or more and
become insulted because someone else thinks they should step down and
out and allow other good Democrats and as loyal citizens to have some
of the spoils. , >.
No'one questions the competency of their opponents, but in all seriousness
can the Democrats of Beaufort County afford to keep one set
<>f men in office for life ?
Hew to the Line in this fight and pay no attention in which direction
the chips fall. The good ?f the party is at stake.
Tho Democratic County Convention two vears ago spoke out in reac^
lution: TWO TERMS FOR ALL COUNTY OFFICERS IN THE
ifU TURK There was no dissenting voice thenr WHY SHOULD
THERE BE NOW!
RALLY TO THE 6UPPORT OF THE TWO-TERM CANDIDATES
AT THE PRIMARIES ON SATURDAY NEXT. QUIT
YOURSELVES LIKE MEN. SUSTAIN YOUR COUNTY
RECORD WITHOUT FEAR OR FAVOR, and the reward will be
a victory
There are two candidates who are seeking re-nomination under the t
resolution as adopted. "Will the Democratic party repudiate its action ?
and refuse to give these men what it has in open convention promised 1

No charge* of incompetency or inefficiency has been brought against 1

Mr. Editor:
As the people seem desirous, as
they have a right to be. to know 1
what their Representative in the next 1
Legislature will stand for, I shall 6
take occasion through the columns
of your paper to announce some of '
the things which I favor and some a
which I oppose.
1. I stand squarely on the Demo- ^
sratic platform and such resolutions *
directed to me as may be passed by 1
the convention. a
2." I favor municipal ownership of Cl
water and sewerage system, and Cl
pledge myself to support such legis- "
tation as will afford an opportunity 11
:o city of Washington and other Cl
iltles to own their own water and Cl
tewerage systems. P
3. I favor the Torrens Land Law. 81
ind voted for It in the Legislature of *
1909 and 1911.
4. I favor Legislation that will c'
itimulate and advance the moral and
iducatlona lllfe of our people, ard I a
mi for good roads. d
5. I am opposed to any legislation e<
hat will effect our present fence law d
'or Beaufort County. 1
6. I am oppr??ed to Legislation ef- P'
'ecting the building of a new Court n'
louse, and favor leaving that matter r(
rith the Board of Commissioners lfl
ind the voters, as that Is with in the P
-ealm of their duties and not the 11
egiBlature.
7. I am opposed to a division of **
3eaufort County. tc
8. I am opposed to any change in
he Prohibition Law. When it was fc
'Oted on. It was claimed to be a I
aoral, and not a political issue. Two ei
ears later the Republicans made e5
ocal option an issue and were over- *r
.helmingly defeated. 1 would con- 01
ider myself no friend to Democracy,
r to my County, should 1 desire to ai
nject it and make it an issue now
or the purpose of furthering my own r
ause-, when my party has refused to w
lake it an issue. I had much rather co

Ion. m

impartially on all matters, as ap- c0

My appeal is chiefly to those who.)1

publicans. 1 believe that no kind'4
of an administration is going to ruin,1
the country. I Have a high personal j [
regard for each one of the candidates ?
for President and Vice-President on s
all the tickets. All the political plat- *
forms are mainly sound and all prom- t
ise effort in behalf of the whole p"o- 11
pie. My choice is not based on a '
platform. It was determined by tnyl
impresisons of the real attitude of p
the candidates respecting the public 11
welfare. We are creatures of hered-P'
ity and environment. In our attitude!
towards great public questions we IA
ire almost altogether creature*. of

Ir. Roosevelt by reason of his attiude
towards the Food and Drug act '*?

They believe that there has

ople are of the opinion that the

They will do this because they

I look for a landslide in Western
