FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 10, 1912.

and the time Of the beginning Of the
same, but never has been to a full,
fair and honest investigation.
While calling your attention to the
matters above set forth, wish also to
correct the statement in your paper
reporting the meetings Of the execu-
tive committee on Friday, August 80.
Writing Of the investigation demand
ed by Secretary Christie Benet, your
reporter stated that went for Gov
ernor Blease, but that he war absent
from his Office" I did not go to the
governors Office for Governor Blease
and I do not see how your reporter
could have made such a mistake as
that.
What have written has been with
the desire to keep the record straight
and not with any purpose of engaging
In any newspaper controversy. I de-
plore newspaper controversies and
have always avoided them. Especial
ly now am I desirous Of keeping out
OF one, for I realize the unfairness
which has been dealt out to my
brother, Governor Blease, by most OF
the newspapers Of the state, and I
fear that the mere fact that happen
to be his brother is the reason why
some newspapers occasionally mis-
represent me. I am, sir,
Eugene s. Blease.

Anderson Intelligencer: Asking
that a bet of 500 be cancelled, a
Greenville concern made the request OF
an Anderson man who bet on Blease
that the wager on the recent primary
election be taken down." The Ander-
son man, who was banking on Cole L.
Blease (and still is) refused to consid-
er the proposition. The faith of the
publisher of the Intelligencer in the
election of Governor Blease was shown
in an open offer to take a $1,000 bet
prior to the first primary. 1t Is well
known throughout South Carolina that
large wagers were put up on the
Blease- Jones contest. 1t Is probable
that $4,000 was placed in this city. In
Spartanburg 1t Is asid that one man
lost $4,000 and the man who lost 1t is
not worth more than $4,000. In the
state there was bet probably $150,0O0.
In Anderson most Of the bets have
been paid over for 1t Is realized that
Governor Blease Is to be seated. Few
bets are still up. However, some have
refused to come across" until after
the executive committee declares the
result. The action of the Greenville
wagerer is taken to mean that the
Jones forces have given up. 1t was
generally believed here that campaign
funds were used in some Of the bets.

SMITH AND JACKSON.

Joseph w. Smith and White W.
Jackson are recommended for ap-
pointment as county commissioners, as
the result Of the second primary, held
last Tuesday. Such was the finding OF
the Democratic executive committee,
which tabulated the returns yesterday
The face Of the returns, according
to the first tabulation, showed the
nomination Of Smith by a majority of
something like 100 and the nomina-
tion Of Jackson by majority Of only
two votes. Because of the closepess of
the vote between Jackson and Aycock
it was deemed desirable to make q
complete recount, and as the result OF
this Jackson gained one vote, giving
him majority Of three votes. Smith
and Jackson were declared the win
ners. The official tabulation on the
basis of the recount, Is as follows:

SEN, BRISTOW
SAYS No DANGER
OF FREE SUGAR

WASHINGTON, D. c., Apr. 10
There Is not the slightest danger OF
the Senate concurring In the House
Tree sugar bin, unless the Standpat
Regular Republicans become stiffneck-
ed and refuse to accept some reason
able reduction In the duties on sugar.
The only possibility of favorable ac-
ton would arise from the Regulars
assuming AN attitude Of resistance to
any and all notifications"
This was the significant statement
made to the Blu lletin correspondent
by Senator Bristow of Kansas, the rec
ognlzed expert of the progressive Re-
publicans on all matters affecting the
tariff on sugar.
Il believe there should be some leg
islation lowering the existing rates on
sugar said Mr.. Bristow. THE people
expect action of this character. There
should be no radical revision which
would destroy or even damage either
the cane or beet industry. But the
enormous rronts now reaped each YEAR
| by the Sugar hust should be REDUCED
and divided among the consumers.i
No Free Sugar"
There Is no disposition whatever
TO remove all tariff duties from sugar
and place II on the free list. That
crisis will only arise II the regular
standpat Republicans refuse to ..ac-
cept any reduction.
AS the situation stands the Pro-
gressives will not vote for the House
free sugar bill. They will support the
substitute already introduced by me.
But If the Regu bars will not agree to
some modification | believe the Pro-
gresslves will Tote with the, Demo
Gratis for thajtree sugar bf1f lrdther
than have no legislation on the sub
| ject. | also believe the Progressive
votes for free sugar would be sutii-
cient to Offset the Democrats who
would oppose the House bill.
1T is too early to ascertain the pre-
else attitude OF the Regulars. but
believe now there will be perfected
legislation at this session of don
gress revising the sugar schedule of
the Payne Aldrich tariff bill"
Those who have made n careful can
vass of the Senate disagree with MIR
Bristow and do not think sufficient
number of Progrtssives viii vote for
free sugar to overcome the Democratic
detection. This is not even claimed
by the Democratic leaders and Is dis
puted by all the Republicans in c
position to count noses.

The Regulars are at the same time
taking cognizance of Mr. Bristow's po-
sition. Nearly all the representatives
of sugar interests here say there could
be a slight. modification of existing
rates without great detriment to the
industry. These have requested Sen
ator Smoot of Utah to prepare n sugar
revision bill based on the ideas set forth
by all those appearing as witnesses
before the Senate finance committee.
1t Is desired that he should make

pressed and arrange n bill which would
meet the opinions of all those engaged
in the sugar business, II IL desired
that this should become u permanent
