Columbia, Sept. 23.-Askcd if he
had any comment to make on the
Supreme Courts decision, which sus-
tains Bank Examiner b. J. Rhamc,
whom he attempted to remove, Gov
ernor Blease dictated the following
statement:
Il have no comment to make; H.
O43 Democrats endorsed my posi-
ton; few lawyers, now Judges, dis
approved. ! am delighted. 1t points
clearly to the fact that the end of
our judicial oligarchy is near. The
court is fighting hard to save their
Attorney General in the second race
by ipiling up these decisions Just
now, and all in favor Of his conten-
tions, but, thank God, the people and
not the courts elect the Attorney
General"
