scathing rebuke was ever administer

accused the Bracken officials of in
territorial neglect of duty in the al

The formal notification of VIM. j.

a splendid affair in all lis details.
1t was a non-partsan demonstratibn-
a hearty meeting of people of every
shade of political belief TO honor a
man whom they know they cen trust
with the responsible office of the ma
tion's chief executive. Mr.. Bryan re-
sponded 10 the notification in his
usual loyal, eloquent and earnes,
manner. 1t was a great day for the
Democratic parry and the American

'Me. TAFT. Mr.. THOMAS AND
THE HARTFORD HERALD.

Our esteemed friend and former CO.
laborer in the editorial field, Mr..
]. II. Thomas, OF Narrows, KY, using
the Hartford Republican as the We
'hicle of his pen, essays TO take The
Herald to task and criticise 1t for
what It has printed or said about the
religion OF Mr.. w. H. Taft, candidate
Tor President on the Republican
ticket. He appears to assume or in
innate that The Herald has been Sc
we're in criticism and sensational in
tone in what II has said or permitted
to appear in its columns anent this
matter. Our greatest offense to him
seems to be that we have reprinted
the structures of Mr.. Taft INDUCED in
by Editor H. c. Morrison in the Pen
tecostal Herald. He flatters the edi-
torial prestige and circulation of The
Herald by calling the attention Of
this paper ito the possible far
reaching evil consequences Of its per-
sistent parading in its editorial col
umns of the Rev. Morrlsons intern
pelate and virulent attack upon re-
ligious freedom, the most sacred her
itage of the American people"
Continuing in this vein, Mr.. Thorn
as says:
/ shall be fair enough TO
assume that Editor Matthews,
in an unguarded moment, al
lowed an eXcess of zeal for a
waning cause TO lead him in
TO a character of campaigning
that no other journal Of his
party has seen fit to follow.
We certainly appreciate the respect
full and friendly spirit in which Mr..
Thomas touches his expressions, but
must beg that he peruse The Herald
more closely before discriminating us
too deeply or indulging in any I'M
toward animadversions.
Barring the simple reproduction OF
Rev. Morrison's utterances, to which
due credit. WIS enthere has been no
censure in The Herald's columns of
Mr.. Taft on account of his religious
creed IN a somewhat lengthy discus
sion OF this subject in it's Issue of
August ), The Herald said:
Certainly Mr.. Taft has a
right to be a Unitarian if
he SO chooses. No one will
deny him this privilege No
II one thinks any less of Mr..
Taft, as a man, on account of
his religious practices or be-
liefs. AS candidate, how
ever, they have a right 10
know about these and other
things which make up his plan
of living. They help to give
an idea of what kind Of an
official he would make.
This IS the matter in a nutshell
thsr sum and substance of our con-
tentions. We do no. inve9gh against
Mr.. Taft for being a member of the
Unitarian Church. This is his priv
ilege and his prerogative the same as
IL he were a Methodist or a Bapdst.
But lit is that the American people
have a right TO know this fac, for
which We contend. Surely no fair
minded person should object to such
importation of information.
Further along i'm his discourse MIR.

Sunday Travellers and Inns and rav-
erns In Scotland.
There Is a law in Scotland generous
to travellers. That law grants them
the privilege of all |tavcrns and inn

ihnkeeper rs bound to serve you with
any sort OF alcoholic r~efreshment. al
belt the native of Aud Reekie must
fret and starve his Sawbath away on
ginger ale, memories and the auroral
promise Of tomorrow. But the law IS
merciful. he that hath iourncved
three miles is a traveller within the
meaning of the act.
consequently there is 4 vast array of
travellers leaving Edinburgh on foot
on coaches, pony carriages, ETC., for
the trains run not.
They all seek TO constitute them
selves as travellers. Just within the
three mile limit, as far as Edinburgh Is
concerned, lies the historic village OF
Corstorphinc.
y traveller arrives from Edinburgh.
He knocks at the door of the village

"Whaur do We come from2"

swer.
Then We Gamma come in, It's against
the law"
The door is banged ruthlessly.
The traveller thinks awhile. Your
Scotsman thinks slowly, but very
surely.
After elaboration he knocks again.
The formula is gone through.

Editor the Chcraw Chronicle:

Editor the Chcraw Chronicle:
Referring to your questions about
Mr.. Blease, | will make the following
statement:
He was a member of the committee
To investigate the State di~spensary.
Mr.. Lyon and Mr.. Christensen, who did
the heavy work and unearthcd a lot of
r~ottcnncss, found that to accom-
plish anything they had to keep their
counsel from MIR. 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
kcr, was called on to give the name of
the senator, he declined to give it I'M
less forced to do so. Mr.. Blease led
the fight to keep him from being forced
to tell and by one 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 vas afterwards stated by Mr.. Par
kcr, when required to do so by the pres
cnt ~dispenSary commission, that Mr..
BlcaSc was the man. Mr.. Blease de-
nies that he was the man. He knew
who the man was and was on the COM
mittcc 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 wrongdocrs, he opposed it vigor-
ously. Will he allow the convictions
that may follow such prosecution to
stand if he is governor?
''FIRM STAND OF GOV. ANsEL."

pany found that the dispensary commits
sion was on to the frauds perpetrated

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.

The lanahan-B lease matter has never been disposed OF. There has
been no 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

there by Ulman & Co. and other smaller
malefactors. They got an order APP
pointing a receiver of the funds on
hand, then $500, 900, 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 { luosed
it vigorously and by a fill, ulster 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 S65, 900 and the re-
celvers' commission would be about
S4O,0 900 and the attorneys fee paid out
of the fund about $50, 600 you will see
that it will cost the school fund $270, 600
if Mr.. Blease has his way, judging his
VIII W MO aNlo, uiIu IIllS VIII DC lIC re-
suit in favor of two of the liquor houses
whose track he helped to cover when on
the committee to investigate them. If
he 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 Is 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
can pass them Over th%egovernor's veto?
Didn't the governor veto a bill as un-
constitutional last year and didn't the
legislature pass it over his veto, the
senate being largely led in doing so by
Mr.. Bleasc?
He talks about an increase of $500.
COO 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, 600 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. Blcasc makes these charges
against the legislature and holds the
governor responsible.
