DIRTY AND DISGUSTING.

Unquestionably this has been the
dirtiest and most disgusting political
campaign South Carolina has ever
been called upon to endure. Governor
Blease overstepped all bounds day
after day in his speeches from the
stump. using profane and violent lam
guage and making obscene. lewd and
vicious insinuations against Judge
Jones and men in the audience who
have asked questions. Some of his
opponents. notably Mayor Grace. have
been guilty in this respect, although
they have the excuse that they are
quoting the language Of Gov. Blease
and do so only to show the people
what manner of man Blease Is. The
newspapers in reporting the campaign
meetings have printed the objection
able and disgusting fulminations of
Gov Blease and the articles in reply
thereto by those who have been will
ing to meet him on the same plane.
In the twenty-one years that the
writer has been in the newspaper
business he has not before known
such vile stuff To he printed in the
newspapers of South Carolina. But
what are the newspapers to do? They
are expected to give record Of events
as they transpire and it is impossible
to report the campaign without stat
ing the facts as they are. If all the
vulgarity. profanity and obscene insin-
uations that Gov Blease utters on the
stump were cut out there would be

report of the executive committee

There are two reasons for this.
One is that, though we have organ

conditions that developed in the cot

of arranging with the local banks at

obtained and finance their cotton un-
