eIease Impudent.
Many thought that the revelations
would put Blease out of the running
for a second term and make victory
certain for Judge Jones, But they
reckoned without the impudence of
Blease He is turning the revelations
to account by proclaiming from every
stump that they are lies told by "aris-
tOcrats" to discredit the man whom
the common people" elected Govern
or. Some shrewd politicians are in
clined to think that Blease has prof
tied by the attacks on him.
AS to the character of campaigning
Blease is doing, his speech here re-
Gently is a typical example. He adj
dressed a conglomerate audience from
the State House steps. The crowd
was drawn very largely by the expec-
tation that he would denounce T, B.
Fielder, William J. Burns and others
behind the charges of corruption re-
Gently made against him. But he de-
liberately avoided them, except to de-
clare that the subject of Tom Fielder
is too indecent to discuss before

Attacking the cotton mill interests
in the State. BleaSe declared that he
would pay the fine or pardon any cot
ton mill worker who whips any man
threatening him about his vote.
Sample Of His Speech.
This is the way Blease attacks his
political enemies:
''If John Graham, who operates that
mill referring to the hosiery mill in
the State penitentiaryl were to die
tonight there is. not enough coal in
all the Clinchfie]d mine for the devil
to put on his dead body.
THAT mill, operated by Yankee,
who walks about the streets in Co
Iumbia, drinking his fine liquors, is an
incubator of tuberculosis and a dis
grace to civilization"
Blease's style of campaigning is un-
doubtedly effective. 1t is patterned
on the "pitchfork method" made ia
nous by Ben. Tillman and is popular
with the electorate of South Carolina.
Blease says that he will defeat Jones
in the primary of August q, and many
fear that his prediction will prove
true
Bleases paramount political princi-
pie, according to his own version, is
to stand by his friends.' he has
made that principle of Sticking by
my friends at any cost" the cry of
political campaign.
Blease from the beginning of his ca
reer has mixed politics with his prac-
tice of the law. That is why Judge
Jones is charging on the stump that
Blease, elected Governor of South
Carolina, pardoned his old client,
Wash Hunter, whom, as lawyer, he
could not acQuit of a mauslaughter
