JAIL DELIVERY IN SOUTH CARO-
LIMA,


augurated Governor of South Carolina
last January; his term OF Office Will
expire in January. 1918. No other
Governor in the country has been more
talked about than he, not for any
worthy act he has done, but because
of his outrageous abuses of his office.
his apparently studied violation OF all
honorable presidents, his utter lack
of dignity, his wrangllng with Tho
newspapers of his State, his defiance
of the authority of the Supreme Court
his reckless abuse of those who do
not agree with him, his refusal to ap-
point a man as notary public unless
he could be assured that the applicant
was his friend his oft-repeated dec
laration that he would reward his
friends and punish hts enemies and
ever so many other acts and threats
which have kept him in the public eye
and brought disgrace upon his State.
One of the worst of Governor Blease's
official misdoings is in his abuse of
the pardoning power. The Spartan
burg Herald prints the record of the
pardons, paroles and communications
granted by him to convicts in the peni-
tertiary and jails of South Carolina.
he Is said to have exercised the execu-
tive clemency at least once q day for
every day he has been IN office. From
the day of his inauguration to the
time the record was made up, as
shown by the report in the Herald.
Governor Blease had pardoned Is
murderers. committed the sentences of
s murderers and paroled 81 murder
ers. During the same period he par
doned IA persons convicted OF man
slaughter and paroled SO convicted of
manslaughter, making a total of 1O1
murderers pardoned. committed and
paroled, and us prisoners convicted OF
the crime OF manslaughter pardoned
and paroled by the Chief Magistrate of
one of the States of the Union. If he
shall keep up his industry to the end
of his term. he will have turned loose
upon South Carolina very nearly a
thousand men whose hands are stained
with human blood. There was never
q worse record made by any Governor
In the history OF this country: even
In the days of Franklin j. Moses. tho
"Robber Governor" OF South Carolina
the pardoning power was not SO out
ragged in that State. Governor Patter-
son. of Tennessee, who was driven
out of public life partly because of
his activity in this business. and who
was held up to the distrust of the whole
country for his abuse OF his office, was
mere trifier compared with the pres
ent Governor of the Palmetto State.
Governor Blease Will be a candidate
for reelection as Governor. He will
be opposed by Chief Justice Jones, OF
the State Supreme Court, who mas re-
signed his office. to take effect next
january. TO enter the race. There
ought TO be no question as 10 which
Of these candidates the people Will
choose. Ths State will be on trial
as never before, and 1t will be Judged
by the decision of It's people 1t is to
be expected, of course, that the Gov
ernor's convict contingent Will sup
port him and work for MIN; but there
ought to he enough good men in the
State to beat Vim and to put an end
forever to politicians of his type.
