None of these !: papers that are now raising this howl 1 are now accusing him of being an in-;, dependent or of noi being a democrat. ,J On the contrary, they followed Ms leau | in the Baltimore convention. To snow you the utter inconsistency ] of this sheet which now atcempcs to i : criilicize me and to read me out of the , democratic party because I was not a ] Wilson man for the nomination, in their issue of April 6th, 1914, in speaking of :he candidacy of Mr. Under-' j "wood for the United Slates senate, they say: "Within the last week Underwood has done a thing that, under the circumstances. proves his quality and temper to our minu ueuer mau anything he has done in a long while, and he has done many notable things. He < opposed the repeal of the tolls exemption act. therein' aligning himself for the moment against the adminis: ration" that he has magnificently served." Hence, you see, when it suits them ' in defence of their man, it is all right ; for him to fight a gains: the administra- 1 J - nlnft H'ontc rn lion, or uu <mv ujing cuc 11 v i.cmvo do. but on the other hand, with their ; usual inconsistency, no matter what their opponent does, he does wrong. 1 invite a comparison of my record as a democrat and as one who has always been true to the democratic ; party with the record of any other', man in the parrr. 1 It is true thai Mr. Wilson, under' certain recomendations from our State, has seen fit so far not to give a single i " . puDiic oince to a dicuscilc, u.s call them. Every office that he has i < given in South Carolina has been to < men who were against me and my , i friends, and in some instances he has ] given them to men who have voted < against the democratic nominees. I: ] have not complained. If my friends ; < have asked for anything I do not know ; i it, and most assuredly 1 have not asked < for anything for any of them, and I , ; only mention this to show you; that Mr. Wilson, eirher himself or through ] his arivispi s in this State, has absolutely 1 ignored ihe present governor of South t Carolina and his followers, and instead < of treating them with fairness and 1 any consideration at all. he has turned 1 r as deaf ear to them as he could havt i turned if they had bee.i bol.ers. 1 In order to s'bow you more fully the I kind of people who are questioning my 1 ^ democracy, I desire to call your atten- i tion not only to the editor, but to the ; \ owners and managers of this daily r newspaper in Columbia that is holding ; t itself up as the great guardian of ;g South Carolina's democracy and as the j t censor of the democratic party.
