importations form Switzerland,
where the initiative and referendum
have been in force for half CEN
fury, the recall not so long.
The states and cities that have
adopted these Swiss innovations
have varied and altered them to suit
the local taste, so that a definition
of the referendum as it exists in
one state does not always describe
the same law in another. But the
fundamental principles are usually
the same and may be summed up rs
follows;
The Initiative-If certain per-
centage of voters wish certain law
adopted they can submit 1t to the
Legislature, which must in turn,
submit it to a referendum.
The Referendum-If a certain
number of voters demand an OPP
portunity to vote upon bill. the
Legislature must submit it to them,
and the people decide by vote
whether it shall or shall not be-
come law, just as in New York
State they vote upon an amend
ment to the State consultation. The
referendum can be demanded, not
only ON bills previously proposed
by the initiative, but upon bills
which have their origin in the Leg
stature itself.
The Recall-If certain per-
aentage of voters demand the right
10 decide whether public official
shall continue to hold office or must
retire to private life, the question
must be submitted TO the people at
an election. If they vote against him
he must give up his office, whether
he term for which he was elected
IS anywhere near its end or is just
beginning.
The Initiative" said Henry James
Ford. of Princeton University in an
address before the Economic Club
of Boston, means simply this
that sections of the people them
selves shall have the right to initi-
ate legislation and to solicit for it |
the approval of their fellow-citizens

before, who will support Jones this

1000 to 1900 votes In Spartanburg.

came to Spartanburg to attend the
Panama canal conference, yesterday
gave out for publication a letter from
Governor Cole l.. Blease, proving that
Blease told an untruth when he said
he believed that Mr. Grace had never
supported him.
Mr. Grace left for Charleston last
night. He said there was no doubt
that Judge Jones would carry Char
lesion and that a conservative esti-
mate was that his majority would be
1000.
Mayor Grace, together with the letter
referred to:
81 believe / have shot so many
holes in Bleases veracity that there
is hardly place left in 1t where l
might strike. But 1t is necessary for
me to do so in order to keep a prom
ise which / made in my first reply
to Blease in the controversy Which a
few weeks ago waged between us.
ut will be recalled that Blease
made this statement: 4 desire to
state that | have never made a con-
fidant Of John p. Grace in any man
ner, shape or form. l knew that he
opposed me in the first primary two
years ago. and l have never believed
that he supported me, or even voted
for me in the second primary
Replying to this. said: This, of
course, he knows is a lie and forty
nately for me the proof of it is in
writing. Not only did 1 support him
before and in the first primary, but
| wrote the strongest kind Of edito-
rials which were sent to him and
copied in some of the few state pa
pers that were supporting him. If /
mistake not, in the Newberry Herald
and News for one
"'I am at Glenn Springs and I
have not access to my letter files,
but remember distinctly receiving a
very appreciative letter from him,
banking me most cordially for this
support
"In his reply to this interview and
with the full opportunity on his part
to consult his letter files, he still
sticks to his original lie, reiterating
it in the following words: AS to
Grace's statement that he supported
me, he told me himself that he did
not support me in the first primary
and | was informed by those who had
charge of affairs for me in Charleston
that he was against me and for Nc
Leod, but that he claimed to be for
me in the second place
ITO which l again replied, as fol-
lows:
Il expressed great surprise in my
recent interview that Blease would 20
so far as to intimate at this time that
he ever had any doubt that / sup
ported him in both the first and sec
ond primaries, and he repeats these
doubhts in his recent interview, going
even so far as to say he (meaning
mel told me himself that he did not
support me in the first primary.
II would like to know where and
when / ever told him this. This is
the most mendacious lie that Blease
has ever uttered, because it carries
with it monstrous and manifest abb
surdity. ! would be in a very diff
cult position but that fortunately the
proof is clean not only that / did sup
port him in the first primary, but
that he and everybody else knew it..

Best Kind of Evidence.
1T would seem almost incredible
that in his second interview Blease
should have stuck to the lies so i'll
told in the first, because by that time
he had the advantage of my notice to
him of my documentary proof which
L thought l possessed against him.
But he had so little regard for his
own veracity that it did not seem to
bother him. How does he feel now.
when confronted with this letter: 1t
is a well-known principle of law that
the highest character of testimony is
the confession of the criminal him
self. Even verbal confessions, duly
witnessed by others, are Of very bind
ing character. And, of course, the
| strength of all confessions is that they
shall be voluntary and without any
compulsion, fear or dread or hope of
reward.
Here, therefore, we have Blease's
spontaneous, voluntary acknowledge
ment in writing Of my support of
him, both personally and through my
papers.
In all the other instances in which
| have proved that Blease was a liar
the proof was largely circumstantial,
corroborated, however, by easily de-
terminable facts. But in this in
stance l prove him to be guilty of a
deliberate lie, twice told, after due
warning, by his own documentary tes-
timony.
Il admit that ordinarily he would
not be creditable witness even
against himself, but as that would in
Volve the fact that he was lying
either in one instance or the other,
1T will hardly make any difference to
the public, and, fortunately in this
instance, his own testimony is borne
out by abounding facts. Whatever,
therefore, the people of South Caro-
lima may now think of their governor
this at least is certain, that over his
own signature they know he is a liar
and it seems to me that the day has
not yet come when man should be
elected governor OF South Carolina
the main plank of whose platform, is
that he knows how to lie not only
with his tongue but with his pen
