were directed TO the two objecting
delegates. and Mr. ane, with great
force and power urged united action
on the part of the Iowa delegation.
A vote was taken on this motion, the
result being twenty-four in favor of
the motion and two against it. The
roll was called and each delegate
voted when his name was called. Mr..
Perkins, Mr.. Young and yourself
voted in favor of this motion. The
conference then adjourned. Before
the delegates left the conference
room it was practically agreed that
the two objecting delegates would not
oppose the governor if his name were
presented to the convention.
Mr.. Perkins eaid upon the ad-
journment of the conference that
the Iowa delegation would support
Governor Cummins; if in the judg-
ment of Mr.. Healey the name of Gov
ernor Cummins should be presented to
the convention that it was the duty
of every man on the Iowa delegation
to support him.
Doubtless this remark of Mr.
Perkins was based upon what l had
shortly before that time stated to
the delegation that Governor Cum
Minis name would not be presented
to the convention unless we knew
with practical certainty that he would
be nominated.
Several members of the Iowa de-
legation then visited the headquarters
of many of the states. endeavoring to
solidify the strength of force that
Cummins might have in the conven-
tion. heard. but ] do not know of
my own knowledge, that Mr.. Perkins
and Mr.. Lane visited the Ohio dele
cation and informed the delegates at
large from Ohio of the action of the
Iowa caucus greeting to support Gov
ernor Cummins.
"Of course it is matter of com.
mon knowledge now, as it was at all
times during the progress of the con.
vention. that Mr.. Taft was in absolute
control of the convention. and that
Mr.. Taft's lieutenant and spokesman
was Mr.. Hitchcock. About midnight
on Thursday, June Is. three members
Of the Iowa delegation-Mr. Perkins.
Mr.. Lane and myself-talked with
Mr.. Hitchcock as to the action to be
taken on Friday morning in reference
to the nomination for the vice pres
idency. and we were then informed
by MIR. Hitchcock that the vice pres
idency was not coming to Iowa. OF
course this meant that Governor
Cummins' name would not be present
! ed to the convention. These are the
facts. as / recall them. in reference
to the Cummins vice presidential
boom.

A couple of weeks ago the Cheraw
Chronicle asked several questions. 1t
wished to know whether, if elected gov
ernor, Blease would pardon the graft
crs. 1t said that the association of
Blease with the grafters and his efforts
to help them block the efforts of the
State government to land them, made
that question important. He was
asked, too, whether he would use all
means to prevent the United States
court getting possession of the dispen-
sary fund, and thereby blocking further
investigation of the frauds against the
State. AS to those questions W.. F.
Stevenson makes the following enlight-
ening comment:

Editor the Cheraw Chronicle:

Editor the Cheraw Chronicle:
Referring to your questions about
MIR. Blease, | will make the following
statement:
He was a member of the committee
TO investigate the State dispensary.
Mr.. Lyon and Mr.. Christensen, who did
the heavy work and unearthed a lot OF
r%ottenness, found that to accom-
plish anything they had to keep their
counsel from Mr.. Blease and that there
was strong evidence that he was giving
tips to the "grafters." 1t came out
that n Samuel j. Lanahan had en-
ployed a State senator to represent his
house and work on the matter of sales
for him in violation of the law.
When the witness, Mr.. Lewis w. Par
ker, was called on to give the name of
the senator, he declined to give it un-
less forced to do so. Mr.. Blease led
the fight to keep him fro 4 being forced
to tell and by me vote the committee
refused to require Mr.. Parker to give
the name.
PROTECTING wRoNGDOERS."
Mr.. Blease stated to Mr.. Parker be-
fore unimpeachable witnesses that he
knew all about the matter and knew
the senator referred to and appreciated
his action in refusing to give the name.
1t was afterwards stated by Mr.. Par
ker, when required to do so by the pres
ent dispensary commission, that Mr..
Blease was the man. Mr.. Blease de-
MES that he was the man. He knew
who the man was and was on the COM
mittee to run down the law-breakers
and corruptionists and in the face of
that, with knowledge of a State officer
who had been violating the law he was
appointed to vindicate, he was active in
protecting the wrongdoers.
If elected governor, would he be less
active if some of the %evildoers, whom
he was then protecting in violation of
his duty, were now convicted? Again,
when the appropriation was asked for,
to be used by Mr.. Lyon in prosecuting
the wrongdoers, he opposed it vigor-
ously. Will he allow the convictions
that may follow such prosecution to
stand if he is governor?
FIRM STAND GOV. ANSEL."
Again, when the Fleischman COM
pany found that the dispensary commits
sion was on to the frauds perpetrated
by it on the State, they went Into the
United States court and were Joined

What is Best for indigestion

Mr.. A. Robinson, of Drumquin, On
tario, has been troubled for years with
Indigestion, and recommends Chamber
lain's Stomach and Liver Tablets as
"the best medicine / ever used" If
troubled with indigestion or co~nstipa-
ton give them a trial. They are GER
tain to prove beneficial. They are easy
to take and pleasant in effect. Price

there by Ulman & Co. and other smaller
malefactors. They got an order APP
pointing a receiver of the funds on
hand, then $500, 600, and ~endeavored to
get the fund in court. The firm stand
of Gov. Ansel and the commission alone
prevented the courts getting the fund.
When the legislation that the States
attorneys thought necessary to render
the State absolutely safe was presented
to the State senate, Mr.. Blea erpposed
it vigorously and by a f~ililuster de-
feated, as he claimed, the most impor-
tant of measures.
"JUDGE HIS FUTURE BY HIS PAST"
When tell you that the commission
has found that Fleischman company has
o~vercharged the State Sis, 900 in round
numbers and Ulman $50, 900 and the re-
ceivers' commission would be about
$40, 600 and the attorneys fee paid out
of the fund about $50, 600 you will see
that it will cost the school fund $27O, 600
if Mr.. Blease has his way, judging his
WIZ W tilo oSlos ctilu lIlS VIII ne Ine re-
suit in favor of two of the liquor houses
whose track he helped to cover when on
the committee to investigate them. If
ne is elected will he not appoint a new
commission to undo the work of the one
which has saved the State several hun
dred thousand dollars and for whom he
has had nothing but abuse, and will not
a commission appointed by him surren-
der to the United States court? Judge
his future by the past and answer.
WHY DIDN'T BLEAsE?
Again, he speaks of large appropria-
tions. He has, as he says, been con-
nected for 16 years, with one or two
short intervals, with the legislature,
and he claims that he is one of the
great men of the senate because they
elected him president pro tenn. If that
is So, why has he not, with his great
influence and vote, held down appro-
priations? If he couldn't do it while a
member with a vote of the body that
makes them how will he do it when he
gets III the governors office, when he is
not a member and has no vote on APP
preparations?
He speaks of vetoing the bills.
Doesn't he know that the legislature
a pass them over thegovernor's veto?
Didn't the governor veto a bill as I'M
constitutional last year and didn't the
legislature pass it over his veto, the
senate being largely led in doing so by
Mr.. Blease?
He talks about an increase of $780,.
600 in appropriations. In the period of
which he speaks the old soldiers pen
sions was increased 5000, 600 and he says
he wouldn't veto that, and $50, 900 has
been appropriated to county high
schools, and Jefferson and Chesterfield
have both got them and nobody heard
of a strenuous fight on that by Mr..
Blease. That accounts for a large part
of the increase.
MIR. Blease makes these charges
against the Legislature and holds the
governor responsible.

WOULD BLEASE FAVOR GRAFTERSa

The Lanahan- Blease matter has never been disposed of. There has
eel 10 answer from Bease to the following appeal made by Lewis w.
Parker in a card to the people of South Carolina under date of Feb. II,
1908:
I'm justice to Mr.. Blease himself, and in justice to the memory of
MIR. Lanahan, Mr.. Blease is now, it seems to me, called upon to say who
was the high State official whom Mr.. Lanahan employed Mr.. Bease
has acknowledged full acquaintanceship in the matter. Whilst | cannot
conceive that have been mistaken Is to statements made to m e by Mr..
Lanahan, still if there be error in what Mr.. Lanahan stated to me, Mr..
Bleasc can clear it and should do So" q
