these cases. And not only as a Grim

records of the cort here will show

will compare favorably with the prac-

and believe the State will pile up big
majority for him on next Tuesday.

Blease's Speech Masterful.

The following is the report of Mr..
Cole. L. Blease's speech at the Collie
ton campaign meeting, as reported by
the staff correspondent of the News
and Courier:
Mayor Cole. L. Blease today made
his best speech, far excelling that at
any previous meeting. For a straight
forward, clear-cut, concise, Ineligible
argument in behalf Of his candidacy,
proclaiming the principle of govern
ment for which he stood, Mr.. Blease's
presentation of the subject was a mas
terpiece. He was accorded a careful
hearing and received considerable ap-
plause. Mr.. Blease devoted the greater
part of his time to a discussion of the
tax situation, again charging the free
conference committees of the general
assembly with disregard Of the peo-
ple's interest in the matter of eXtrava-
CANT appropriations, and stating that
it was within the executive power Of
the governor to veto such and thus
protect the people. He prefaced his
remarks by saying that he had thrown
down the gauntlet on a number OF is
sues that his opponents had not dared
take up.

ELECTION PREDICTIONS,

During the campaign and up until
the votes in the first primary were
counted, it was generally predicted by
those who were politically opposed to
Mr.. Blease that he would be at most
bad third in the race for governor.
The official vote shows that Mr.. Blease
received over 80 per cent of the entire
vote of the State, leading all the 9TH
er candidates, and leading Mr.. Feath-
erstone, his nearest competitor, by
1859 votes. Those who fought Mr..
Blease admit they we're badly mistak-
en-very badly mistaken, and they are
squirming in the effort to find reasons
for their bad judgment.
Now these same critics of Mr.. Blease
are predicting that he can not posi-
bly, be elected.
There is no doubt that the predic-
ton of his opponents so generally
urged that Mr.. Blease could not pos
sibly get in the second race cost him
many votes-and yet he led. There
are many people who have the idea
that they do not want to waste vote
on a losing candidate. Notwithstand-
ing this loss of votes on this account,
Mr.. Blease leads.
Mr.. Blease having led in the first
race, Notwithstanding the prediction of
those who were opposed to him that he
could not get into the second race, the
prediction which his opponents are
urging that he can not be elected will
hardly have any effect with the voters
Of the State, because they know that
if the prediction Of those who are
fighting him, that he can not win in
the second primary, is as far from the
mark as was their prediction that he
could not get into the second race, Mr..
Blease will be elected by one of the
largest majorities ever given a candi-
date for governor in this State who
had any substantial opposition.

CONTORTIONISTS.

In the campaign for governor. be-
fore the first primary, many Of the
newspapers and others sought to mar
row the issue down to Statewide pro-
hibition or local option. Some of the
newspapers who fou ght the Statewide
prohibition candidate are now support
ing him, urging that now the issue is
men and not measures.
If the liquor question was an issue
in the first primary, we fail to see how
il is no longer an issue. The pretext
that local option senate has been
chosen is very fimsy, because there is
no certainty until vote is taken how
the next senate will stand. And then
before the first primary it was urged
by some that the election of Mr.. Feath-
0IStOuG mOulO COIuu4l luS OLdlS W O.
Statewide prohibition policy and re-
open the whole liquor agitation, which
it was hoped was now happily at rest.
Now We are told that the election of
Mr.. Featherstone will have no bearing
on the question of local option or pro-
hibition.
We have seen contortionists and
contortionists, but these latter-day Pc
litical contorJionists are at the head
of the list.
AS matter of fact, the people Of
South Carolina are tired of the whole
whiskey agitation and are content to
let the present local option law alone,

OFFICIAL DUTY.

Mr.. Blease's record as mayor OF
Newberry is proof that neither per-
sonal friendship nor any other indu-
ence is allowed to interfere with the
discharge of his official duty. He has
meted out justice to all alike, without
regard to station or condition in life,
and all his official acts have been
given the light Of publicity.
We do not believe the reports which
are being circulated to the effect that
Mr.. Blease if elected governor will
abuse the pardoning power for person
al or other reasons, will do Mr.. Blease
any harm, because experience has
taught the people to look with disfavor
upon these betWeen-campaign, elev-
enth-hour attacks, but it can not do
harm thus to cite Mr.. Blease's record
as mayor of Newberry, in view Of this
charge which it seems is being cir
culated.
Knowing Mr.. B1ease as We do, we
believe if elected governor he will
seek to do his duty and his whole duty.
The herald and news. [volume] (Newberry S.C.) 1903-1937, 1910-09-06

Mr.. Featherstone can either elect or
defeat himself by saying very few
words. If he wants to be governor Of
South Carolina as representative OF
all the people, irrespective of the IL
quor issue, the honor for which he
has been striving for many years is
within his grasp. But if he prefers de-
feat as the leader of a faction and the
exponent of a theory, he can accom-
plish that result by declaring for a
Statewide law, regardless of the re-
suit of the first primary.-Sumter
Watchmap and Southron.
Having made vigorous campaign
throughout the State with Statewide
prohibition as the main plank in his
platform, would Mr.. Featherstone not
now stultify himself by jumping over
On the local option platform? We DO
not believe he will DO so. Mr.. Feather
stone is a Statewide prohibitionist,
and We do not believe he will abandon
his colors in the thick of the fray.
Even from the sole standpoint of a
political move, Mr.. Featherstone has

MIR. BLEASE AT H0ME.

Mr.. Blease has represented Newber-
~ county in every office within the
gift Of the people of the county to
which he has aspired. AS State sena.
tor for four years up until the session
of 1909, he was recognized as one OF
the leaders of that body, and during
the last two years of his service he
served as president pro tempore. He
is now mayor of the city, and has made
good mayor. He has ability, he is
broad-minded and public-spirited, and
he has made good in every position
which he has filed, and if elected gov
ernor he will give the State good and
able administration, along business
methods-and that is what the State
needs.
As to Mr.. Blease's platform, nobody
has ever charged him with inconsis-
tency. But, aside from that, business
ability is what the State now needs
in a governor, and that We know M.
Blease has.
Mr.. Blease has been remarkably
successful as a practicing attorney at
the Newberry bar. His success as a
criminal lawyer is shown by the i'm

OFFICIAL HIGHWAY.

OFFICIAL HIGHWAY.
The committee appointed to locate
the official highway between Nawberry
and Spartanburg, the route FROM Co.
lumbia to Newberry already being
settled, had decided to start from New
berry this morning. A telegram from
Mr.. Jno. Wood, of Spartanburg, says
the date has been postponed on ac-
count of the rain. ~. ~: :. :-,s HS:7E
From Newberry to Spartanburg sew
eral routes have been suggested; one
via Laurens and Woodruff, another via
Cross Anchor, another via Santuc and
Union and still another via Whitmire
and Glenn Springs. Of course the
route to Greenville via Laurens is al
ready determined upon.
The Herald and News is not adVo-
eating the selection of any one of these
routes. In fact We have not been over
any of them and, therefore, could not
intelligently give an opinion as to
which one would be the best. The dis
tance does not vary more than eight
or ten miles as among any Of them.
The question for the committee will
be to determine which route can be
made the best road in winter and in
summer and also the disposition of the
people along the several routes to CO.
operate in keeping the route in condi-
ton. 1t is a very important matter
and we would be glad to see the peo-
pie along the routes cooperate with
the county officials and put their roads
in good condition. There should be
no prejudice against automobiles for
the reason that the automobile is here
to stay and besides road that is good
ter an automobile is good for a wagon
or buggy and if it should happen that
all the roads would be in good condi-
ton and properly posted, travellers
could select any route they might de-
sire. Some, for instance, might desire
to go by Laurens, while others might
prefer the route via Union and we
see no reason why all of the roads
could not be made so that a traveller
could select his own route. In fact,
there is no question before the people
today that is of more Importance than
the building Of good roads whether
they be automobile roads or wagon
roads.
We shall be very glad to see the
people of Newberry along the three
proposed routes through this county
cooperate with the supervisor in put
ting these roads in good condition.
