WILSON FOR LOCAL OPTION.
Sends Letter to Maine Where Whis.
key Is Issue.

Sea Girt. N. j.. Aug. 1I-Gov. Will
son today indirectly took a hand in
the political situation in Maine where
the gubernatorial election in Septem-
Der Is expected to reveal the trend
OF strength of the three presidential
nominees.
In response to numerous letters
from Democratic leaders in Maine
asking Gov. Wilson for his attitude on
the liquor question, which Is a promi-
nent issue in the gubernational cam
paign, the Democratic presidential
nominee has declared in favor of To-
cal option and against having the
question made an issue between poli-
tical parties. The governors views
originally were communicated to the
Rev. Thomas b. Shannon of Newark,
N. j.. as bearing on the issue in New
Jersey. but Gov. Wilson now is send
ing throughout Maine q copy Of the
same letter which says:
IL am in favor Of local option. 1
am thorough believer in local self
government and believe that every
self-governing community which con-
stitutes social unit should have the
right to control the matter Of regu-
lating or of the Withholding Of IL
censes.
But the questions involved are So
eial and moral and are not susceptible
of being made parts of a party pro-
gramme. Whenever they have been
the subject matter of party contests.
they have cut machine lines of party
organization and party action athwart
to the utter confusion of political
action I'm every other field. They have
thrown every other question. however
important, into the background and
have made constructive party action
impossible for long years together.
So far as 1 am myself concerned.
therefore. / can never consent to have
the question of local option made an
issue between political parties"
Respecting the call of Senator
Thomas Il. Gore of Oklahoma ut the
summer capital today Gov. Wilson
said:
1t was almost entirely a social call.
but We naturally wandered off into
n discussion of a number of ques-
tons Of organization and campaign
ing"
/. Senator Gore said:
The conditions Of the campaign
are very gratifying but consider it
Is never safe to- feel too safe and
for that reason We are going to con-
duct very vigorous and spirited
campaign. There are two blunders
which 1t is very easy to make. One
Is To overestimate our own strength
and the other is to underestimate the
strength of our opponents. We are
going To do neither

J. c., WEDNESDAY, AUGUST ID 1912

Tillmanism, or its best exponent.
Ihere are hundreds Of Tillmanites in
the State who are better exponents
of both than either Jones or Blease
or Duncan.
DO not see what that has to d.
with it anyway. The issue is. or
ought to be, integrity of purpose. pa
triotism and ability, cleanness of
character, high ideals. capacity to
lead the people and show them the
pest way to 60 courage to execute
the laws unf1inchingly and without
fear or favor.
Il have been made ashamed. as
every South CarOlinian must be at
the vulgarity. indecency and coward
ice that has been shown on the
stump. When my brother Senators
read about the passing of the lie in
every meeting in South Carolina, they
with a vailed sneer allude to it in
surprise. l have no word to say be-
cause 1 cannot. 1 resented the lie
with blow on the floor of the SEN
ate, and that has been regarded here
rs an illustration Of the States spirit.
1.-The people Of the State ought to
compel those who seek their votes for
high official positions to behave and
speak like gentlemen. The people
can do it and the people alone can
do 1T. One can speak boldly. ag-
gressively and truthfully, and not
finch from stating the facts and do
1t in parliamentary language, and
public opinion should demand this
and the people should enforce it, as
rule. Else for the States good
name we had better cease having
these State campaigns at all, and
they are too valuable to give up be-
cause Of the manner in which they
are being prosecuted. 1t is dis
grace to have them conducted in the
way they have been this year. 1t
would be little short of a calamity to
have them cease altogether.
"One word in conclusion, and the
most important word Of all. There are
men in the State who believe if Judge
Jones is not elected that the State
will go to the dogs. There are 9TH
ers equally honest and patriotic who
believe that if Blease is not elected
the Reform Government and princi-
Piles it stood for will be destroyed.
Both are wrong. The fabric Of our
Government is not built on such a
fiimsy foundation, but it is of vital
| mportance-and I say this with all
solemnity Of which am capable
Isat ;the Legislature r. soe. elected
this year is Of more importance than
the filling Of the Governors office. If
we have brave, true men, who are
honest and rot to be brow beaten or
bribed. or seduced into betraying
their constituents. no bad Govern
or can do us any irreparable injury.
and without them no good Governor
can do much good. SO I implore my
fellow citizers to see to it that the
very best men in each county are
sent to the House Of Representatives
ana the Senate. Then whether
Blease or Jones is elected we will he

In the letter to Mr.. Sims. Of
Orangeburg, TO which Senator Till
man refers in the statement publish
ed above, the Senator said concerning
Judge Jones:
II do not consider that Judge Jones
was an advocate of social equality
because he voted against that law
(Separate Car Act) and I believe he
would make good Governor, for he
IS eminently qualified. I say this
more willingly because it cannot be
construed as my taking sides as be-
tween the two men. I announced

thus far I have seen no reason why
