GOVERNOR BACK
FROM RICHMOND
GUEST OF FAMOUS JURIST
PRESIDENT TAFT TENDERS RE.
CEPTION TO GOVERNORS AT
WHITE HOUSE.

Little Rock, Dec. 11.-Governor G.
W. Donaghey returned yesterday from
his eastern trip, having attended a
conference of 80 governors at Rich
mond, Va, and a reception at the
white house, rendered by President
Taft At Richmond his hosts, special
ly assigned to him, We're Judge Chris
tian and Judge Watson, the latter be-
ing the jurist who sat in the Beattie
case. The conference was in session
four days, and many interesting ques-
tions were discussed.
Relative to the incident of Governor
Cole Biease, Governor Donaghey said
his speech was political and wholly
out of place in such conference, al
though no one objected to it at the
time it was made. What Blease really
said was: when the constitution Of
my state gets in my way from protect
ing white woman from the hands of
a black brute, then to hell with the
constitution"
Governor Donaghey say 5 that what
he said on the floor of the conference
on the resolution condemning Blease
was substantially as follows: My
standpoint as citizen and official has
always been in favor of law enforce
ment. But the passage of resolution
Of this nature at this time by this con-
ference is not justified. Governor
Blease has stood on the floor two days
and given expression to this matter
now objected to, and think the pas
sage of this resolution would be undig-
nified in this body. If the chairman
had called Governor Blease down on a
point of order, and had ruled the dis
cussion out of order, and such a oues-
tion had arisen, | would have voted to
sustain the chairman. But as it
stands, the tendency of the resolution
lls to condemn or expel Governor
Blease from this conference. which ac-
ton would be a reflection, not only up
on a member of this conference, but
upon the people of South Carolina,
which, in my judgment, this confer
ence has no right to cast.
Governor Blease is responsible to
his people and not to the governors
here assembled for what he says. | do
not agree with him in giving an ex-
preston the tendency of which is to
favor lynch law, but | shall not cast a
vote which would be virtually expel-
/ ling him from the conference and re-
ilecting upon the people of South Car
olina, after what he said met with nc
objections until the matter was given
publicity and seemingly public con-
demnation was had all over the coun.
try"
Governor Blease, himself, on the
floor of the conference, tod the mem.
bers to 90 on and pass the resolution
THAT is just what want you to do
and thank you"
Governor Donaghey said that wher
ever he went he found the eyes of the
people and the investors turned upor

Thursday, fair.
The Bennington evening banner. (Bennington, Vt.) 19??-1961, 1912-05-03

The Republican situation in Massa-
chusetts is most peculiar. With the
eight Roosevelt delegates at large,
chosen by a majority of eight thous-
and and a preferential vote for Taft
by four thousand, it is hard to say
what constitutes fair decision. The
situation is still further complicated
by the fact that two districts, which
elected Taft delegates, declared for
Roosevelt in the reference, vote. If
the moral obligation makes 1t incum-
bent on the Roosevelt delegates at
large to vote for Taft, then of course
the same obligation will compel the
Taft delegates from the eighth and
tenth districts to vote for Roosevelt.
Then, too, if the moral obligation, as
of the Massachusetts delegates at
large, is to vote for Taft, then 1t is
plain that the same argument should
bind the Indiana and Michigan dele
gates at large TO vote for Roosevelt
II adds to the interest of the situa-
ton to note that the Massachusetts
Democrats are in exactly the same
box with Foss delegates elected and
a preference majority for Clark
