Party for Him.

A Sacrameno, Cal, dispatch says
the sacrar. ento Union has ccme out
strong for Governor Wilson. Demo
crat, of New Jersey, for President IN
1912. The Union las always been
Republican and was still supposed to
be Republican at least, but 1t has
announced that it is iLlepeadent and
believes the best thing for the nat!on
is to defeat the Republican party.
1t extols President Taft, but doubts
the wisdom of re-electing him. The
country needs a staple and respon-
sible government and in the present
condition Of the Republican party
this can only be obtained through
the Democrats.

BLEASE FOR SENATE
HIS FRIENDS THINK HE WILL
OPPOSE TILLMAN.
May Drop Out Of the Gubernator-
ial Race and Reach Out for the
Senator's Scalp.

Senator's scalp.
A dispatch from Columbia to the
Greenwood Journal says friends OF
Governor Blease, who have had
talks with him since his return from
the political jurket through the
Piedmont section of the state, say
that, while not committing himself,
he is thinking strongly of entering
the race for the United States Sen
ate against 3. R. Tillman and Col.
JASPER Talbert,, of Parksyille.
The people are watching the sit
uation with interest and the next
public speaking or gathering, may
bring forth something Of interest.
1t is said that the governor is very
much peeved because of the state
ments made by Senator Tillman in
his letter to Bose" Crews.
The entire situation has been
brought about as result Of the eX-
elusive interview secured by a staff
representative of The Chronicle and
printed in all of the South Carolina
papers.
Although t1ree months away,
there is much speculation here as
to what the next general assembly
will bring forth. All of the polite
ians who have been accustomed to
ask for Office two years in this state
are keeping still with their tongues
awaiting the verdict of the law
| makers on many questions that
might come up.
The present outlook in this state
is that there will be no other cand-
idates to enter the race for COVER
| nor except Ira 3. Jones, who is to
leave the supreme bench on Janu.
ary 9, and the present governor.
Should the present governor re.
tire from the race and go seeking
senatorial honors, then there would
likely be a number of candidate:
for the place.
Among those who might run
would be John G.. Richards, Jr.
Thos. G.. Mcleod, Richard I. Man
ming and Howard 3. Carlisle.
With the mixed up condition the
indications are that the next cam
paign in South Carolina will be one
of the most strenuous in the his
tory of the state.
From the present outlook i
seems as if the whiskey ques
ton will be eliminated. With tha
question out of the way the issue
would be men.

GES EDITOR HENRY.
The Governor Dared the Editor to
Repeat What He Said in Paper
to His Face.

Governor Blease. having taken
exceptions to a reference to himself
made IN the spartanburg Journal
by the Editor, Mr. Henry, the Gov
enor got wrathy and wrote Editor
Henry the following letter:
STATE OF SOUTH CAROLINA,
Executive Chamber.
Columbia, Oct. 10, 1911.
ITO the Editor Of the Journal:
"A friend of mine has forwarded
me your paper or the 9Th, in which
YOU speak of me as william.
Il spent part of three days in your
city last week. Why did you not
come to my face and tell me this,
instead of your cowardly action IN
printing it in your paper?
Il will be in your city again at

make it to my face and not be
slurring {sic) coward and strike me

To which Editor Henry replied as
follows in the Journal:

contained in the following para
graph:

ent political situation in South
Carolina, is speaking OF him as a

There are perhaps people who
.hink Mr.. Blease william CT worse,
out we have seen no newspaper that
mas stated it's opinion of him to this
effect. Certainly the Journal has not
done so.
We shall have to ask his excel

where. We would not intrude oul
unappreciative presence or attempt
to interrupt for moment the con-
cinuous performance he gives where

an Importance that produces an un-
conscious satire.

when a man as ridiculous, as conf.
