Cole Blease Hurls Defiance at the
Constitution.

Richmond, Va, Dec. 5.-Half OF
the fifty women in attendance at the
Governors Conference here hurriedly
left the hall to-day when Governor
Cole L. Blease, of South Carolina.
for the second time defending his
doctrine of lynching negroes guilty
of criminal assault, without a trial,
shouted his platform "To/hell with
the Constitution"
This sentiment was in response to
question hurled at him by Governor
Joseph N. Carey, of Wyoming, who
desired to know IL Governor Blease
had not taken an oath TO uphold the
Constitution and laws of his State,
and IL these laws did not protect col
ored men as well as white men.
II will answer that question" re-
piled the South Carolinian. "And I
hope the newspaper men will get IL
right, for in my campaign In South
Carolina they found that / am a fight
er," he added, grinding the words be-
tween his teeth. when the Consti-
tuition steps between me and the de-
fense of the virtue of the white wo-
men of my State, I will resign my
commission and tear IL up and throw
1t to the breeZes. / have heretofore
said: To hell with the Constitu-
ton"
At this point fully twenty-five wo-
men, some Of them wives and daugh-
ters of Governors, left the hall. See
ing this, Governor Blease subsided.
Governor Albert w. Gilchrist, of
Florida, instantly uttered a singing
rebuke. ''The first thing" he said,
that indicates a manly man or a wo-
manly woman, is thoughtful consid-
Grafton for other people" He was
cheered. The greatest applause of
the session had previously greeted
Governor Carey's question.
Uniform Divorce Laws.

Oddie. of Nevada. and James H.
Hawley, OF Idaho, on uniformity I'm
laws governing divorce were under
consideration when Governor Blease
spoke. He defended the position of
South Carolina. where no divorce I'm
permitted in any cause. He proceed
ed to discuss the race problem, and
said that when an inferior race gets
the way Of a superior race, the
former is swept from the face of the
earth. He reverted again to his par
dc1 record, boasting that he had
pardoued and uaro1ed more ne1rosz
than all other Governors of his State
combined since 1875.
