ton Of the law for your life and prop
erty, you men who want to lie down
in your beds at night with feeling of

"Then why not hurrah for the barn
burner. the pickpocket and the muir

A Telling Thrust.
Denying that he was corporation
candidate Judge Jones said: II
wouldn't wear anybody's collar and I
wouldn't let anybody tag me-" This
thrust called forth a wild outburst
from the Jones crowd, who revelled
several moments in derisive ha-ha's
on the crowd Of men around the stand
who were tagged "Blease."
100 Per Cent BIease."
Some of you out there are tagged
just like fertilizer bags. You have an
analysis on you and it's 100 per cent
Blease," said Judge Jones, enjoying
the situation immensely and rubbing
It in" with vengeance. At just about
this stage Of the game the Blease men
Jones forces gaining recruits and wax
ing more enthusiastic with every word
from the speaker.
Judge Jones was about to refer to
his little note book in connection with
the record Of the governor when a
Blease man in the audience queried:
Got another book?"
"Book Of Revelations"
YES" replied Judge Jones, land 1t
Is the book Of Revelations" This re-
tort, in view Of Governor Blease's ia
nous book Of Pardons, was a winner.
well, we'll, WE'LL" came back from
the audience.
That's just It," said Judge Jones.
II am we'll, and II anybody thinks he
has an old, decrepit man to deal with,
he will find out that I am just about
one OF the livest ones he ever saw"
At Horny yesterday, Governor
Blease stated that Judge Memminger
should have been named to hold the
Horny court rather than any special
Judge; that he had called Judge Mem
minger over the phone and was in
formed by him that he was not engag-
ed. Today Judge Jones read two tel
egrams which explain themselves, the
first one directed by himself yesterday
afternoon to Judge Memminger as
follows: with reference to Horny
court Governor Bfease stated in speech
today that you said you were disen-
you were too i'll to serve. Please wire
answer to Georgetown so I can correct
false impression"
Wire from Judge Memminger.
To this telegram, the reply as read
by Judge Jones was: Referring to
Horny court / wired you that under
orders Of DR.. Manning Simons I was
too Ill to hold that court and stated
ha 70 Iaoo In,
answer to his long distance inquiry
whether I had any other court to hold
then" This contradiction to the
statements made by the governor yes
terday was hailed with great ap-
plause.
Judge Jones succeeded In touching
upon all the subjects he has hereto
fore dealt with, in spite of the inter-
ruptions from the audience, and in
closing he said: II am rejoiced at the
.uccess Of this meeting in behalf Of
Jones; why, look al all these gentle
women gathered about who want to
see Jones triumph. And look at all
these noble, strong men, these manly
men Of Georgetown, this vast army Of
law loving, law-abiding men, at least
five to one, who want a square deal
and will have It," This was punctu
ated by repeated and increasing ap-
plause, which burst forth into widest
cheers and laughter when the speaker
added, pointing to the men in front Of
him, "and then look at this little
Blease crowd, like the fox said Of the
bell, great big mouth, h-ll Of a noise
and nothing done.'"
Thunderous Applause.
Judge Jones sat down and there was
thunderous applause for the space Of
almost three minutes; even then 1t
was stopped by Judge Jones. who
wished to acknowledge the gift Of
three handsome bouquets Of flowers,
two Of which were magnificent in size
and beauty. In thanking the people
for these tokens, Judge Jones said: II
want to tell you that I deeply appre
ciate these tokens Of esteem from the
good ladies Of Georgetown; 1t touches
me; but I ask that you please allow
me to decorate the political grave of
Governor Cole L. Blease with them"
