Elected by Working People.
Governor Blease said he was elected
governor by the working people; the
men who turn the wheels in the manu-
featuring enterprises, the men who
run the steam engines, the men who
drive the plows and pull the hoes in
the fields, the men who keep the grass
from growing in the public streets of
the towns and cities.

Fight With Legislature.
"When your legislature met l wrote
them message and asked them to
do certain things for the people of
South Carolina-things which 1 had
promised you, if l was elected, l
would recommend and would favor
and fight for. What was the result?
Your legislature was, hostile to me,
and you had from my own county
l regret to say it, from my own coun-
ty-men in the senate and in the house
of representatives who would have
voted against me if l had sent them
message that God Almighty sent
Christ on earth to save mankind
they would have sent back and said,
No, there is some mistake, because
Blease said So Therefore, l had to
fight the whole legislature. Did I
ask them for quarter? No; l said,
l am making this fight for the people
of my State, for what l have promised
the people I would do, and I do not
propose to let you, the legislature,
dictate to me my policy or my course.
The Rural Police in Newberry.
''Now, gentlemen, they passed bill
to put on your county a rural police
system. l vetoed it, and why did l
veto it? Because I tell you today
that if you would pay your magis-
trates and your constables the money
that you are paying your rural po-
lice, and let your magistrates and con-
stables patrol their sections of the
county, to keep peace, you would be
in better position than you are in to-
day. l vetoed it because said then,
and l say it to you now, that the rural
police system as established for your
county is a farce, and simply makes
position for the pet of somebody
who wants to give out an Office.
''Now, gentlemen, I did my part. to
enforce the whiskey law in your
county. I helped wherever 1 could.
But since January it has been taken
out of my hands and today there is
more liquor being sold in Newberry
county than has ever been sold before
in an illegal and unlawful manner.
