already fully explained and my ex-
planatiol has met with universal ap-
proval. l had gone there to bear it,

IL was the mayor of Charleston
The entire police force was under my
supreme control. The hall was filled
with intense partisans and friends of
mine, and the slightest loss of self
possession on my part would have
meant riot and ruin. / could easily
say that / did not take those remarks
to myself because they were address,
ed to any one who said he was a
CRATER and one-half of the people of
South Carolina have already said so
and more than half will say so on
election day. But l am not evading
tie issue. While he was not man
enough in that instance to say spe-
cihcally that he meant me, con
structed it to mean that he meant me.
But to show that he is a coward and
that he is afraid to say it to me spe-
day. He saw me and / saw him and
he had absolutely nothing to say.
Grace Is Not Afraid.
Moreover, | have said about him,
and have proven it, as much as what
Fielder has said about him, even If
Fielder hasn't proven it. He makes a
great pretense of wanting to get
Fielder over in South Carolina, evil
IDENTIFY to do him some personal in
jury, because he coupled his offer of
81 900 reward with the statement
that when Fielder was brought on this
side of the Savannah river he must
be there. Now, | am in South Caro-
lima and | have seen him many times
since | have publicly said that [
thought he was a thief and a liar and
have seen absolutely no evidence
that he is dangerous man except
from his civici standpoint | expect to
see him again, many times, and am
absolutely unafraid, not only of him,
| MT of all the thugs and thieves and
assassins which are his boon compan-
ions.
Just one thing in conclusion about
his denials. What else would the
public expect? If he admits one
thousandth part of the things that
thousands of men are saying about
him he had as well retire from the
race He has got to deny these
things just as he denied long ago that
he stole that essay, for plagiarizing
which he was kicked out of the South
Carolina University
Other Denials.
But he is not the first criminal
who has denied his guilt Even to-
day there is behind the stone walls
of the Tombs prison another notorious
public CRATER, a lieutenant on a po-
lice force, who, in order to cover UP
his graft. conspired to have murder
committed. He also denies it. But
the net is tightening around him, as
Burns will tighten it around Blease
and he will sooner or later pay the
penalty of his grating.

MED their guilt, but they are now in

AS TO THE RECALL.

Editor Honolulu Star-Bulletin.
Sir Referring to your construc-

of a charter for Honolulu recently sub
mitted for discussion. We note that
an editorial position is taken by the
Honolulu StarBulletin advocating that
in order to make the recall effective.
a higher per cent OF signers to the
petition should be required than that
named in the outline The following
facts may be of interest in this con-
nection:
In 63 cities scattered all over Anne
RIGA, ranging in size from 5000 to
100000 population. from which stats
tics are readily obtainable. We find
that - cities definitely require -
per cent of the vote cast at the last
election; ten require more than %
per cent while six cities. all located
in Illinois, where state law requires
the petition to be signed by at least
seventy-fve per cent of the voters.
have charters so drawn. In eighteen
cities-usually the earlier ones to
