gerous to entrust the work of pri-
mary reform In the hands Of those
who would begin on the basis of ex-
clusion. I hate to say 1t, but you
know that there is a little coterie In
this state who would like to exclude
enough people from the primary to
insure their control. Why, my
friends. I have heard of one man who
said he would not decide whether he
would be a candidate for Office or not
until he saw whether these constitu-
tional restrictions were put into the
primary.
Instead OF exclusion, let our pol
Icy be participation. Let every white
man in, and then see that he does not
vote but once.
"All OF the political power in this
state is centered in the primary.
Disfranchise a man there, and you
rob him of all voice in government,
both state and national. 1t is the
only protection the poor and weak
have against oppression. Take his
vote away and the tenant or laborer

protect himself without vote, but
the weak or ignorant have no other
weapon of defence.
ed in the primary by property or ed
ucational restrictions, will follow as
sure as night follows day, loss of
| service on juries and justice in the
courts. Deprive any race or any class
of political power and financial op-
preston comes.
Talk about government, man is
more important than government.
Man is older than state, and lives
under law more sacred than any
written paper.
''No government, and surely no
political power, can hope to live in
these days, and dare to nullify divine
rights which antedate government
itself. THAT is not democracy; it is
despotism, which enables intelligence
and power to oppress poverty and
weakness.
What right has one man to say
that another man shall not vote? II
is the same old fight, the masses
seeking a wider voice in the affairs
of government and a class who re.
gard this as a menace to the common
wealth. The people will win, as they
have always won when aroused. Let
me tell you the great secret OF Till.
mans strength in 1890 and of Gov.
ernor Blease today. They made
privilege and poYer go hat IN hand
to poverty and weakness and beg its
vote, and privilege and power hated
Tillman then as they hate Blease
now"

found on arriving at church one Sun
day that only one worshipper had
braved the inclement weather. Mount
ing the pulpit the minister looked
down at John, who was more noted
for his gruff outspokenness than for
his piety, and said:
"Will l give you the sermon in
Gaelic or in English?"
"Gie's baith," grufiy answered
John; "ye're weel paid for't!"

politics.
"Our constitution is designed to
give each class and each individual
his proportionate power in govern
ment. Disaster followed them, and
it will follow any movement which
centers all power I'm any particular
class. This cannot be made a rich
mans government nor a poor mans
government. 1t must give every man
the same rights and protect him in
it.
A NEW ORDER OF THINGS.
"The abolition OF slavery was the
destruction of this system. The rich
and powerful OF the old, became the
poor and weak Of the new. The
shackles of caste were removed and
the artificial distinction of class
| abrogated. The plain farmer (not
the planter) the mechanic and labor
er claimed their given rights and
| boldly and defiantly entered the po-
| litical arena.
"This brought about an irrepressi-
| BILE conflict between the reconstruct
ed orders of society. For want of a
| better name the issue was called
after the Leader on one side or the
| other. Tillmanite and Haskellite; |;
| Bleaseite and Jonesite. This must
| be true. What were the so-called is
sues in 1890? An Agricultural Col
I ege. What an absurdity. Why
| lidn't the contest end with Clemson

tie cry for the moment, the flag
around which we rallied. 1 we'll re-
member, when little more than a
boy in my campaign for the legisla-
! ture, Air you in favor of the Glenn
son bequest?' Yes, 1 am in favor of
the Clemson bequest.' Air you in
favor of b. r. Tillman?' Yes, is
in favor Of b. r. Tillman.' Pass on,
brother, you'll do then a great
shout, 'Hurrah for Tillman.' Neither
side cared a cent about the Clemson
beQuest,' but way down underneath
| there was something in the souls of
men that make them ready to die
if need be. Fifty per cent didn't
know what the Clemson bequest
was: it took the supreme Court to
find out.
THE people were kept together
during reconstruction by the instinct
OF race preservation. After 1876 the
old time leaders resumed their sway
and inaugurated the ante-bellum
policy Just as much as changed con-
ditions would permit They were
glorious leaders, too, in the red shirt

Columbia Correspondence In Charles
ton News and Courier.
Standing out as prominent as the
March convention of 1890, which
nominated Capt. B. r. Tillman for
governor and inaugurated the Re-
form movement, and right up side
the convention of 1912 was the rank
which Senator John l.. McLaurin
) gave Ito the conference of the Blease
leaders last Tuesday night. In a
prepared speech before the confer
sence, Senator McLaurin reviewed the
causes which, in his opinion, brought
about the Reform movement of the
nineties and made B. r. Tillman gov
ernor.
"Tillmanism is the daddy of
Bleaseism," said the senator, and
then went on to review the factional
fight, tracing its origin way back to
John G.. Calhoun and notification.
Saving that he looked at the matter
calmly and without prejudice, the
former United States senator, and
now state senator, called on the peo-
pie, the sober thinking people of
both factions, to stop and consider
where they are headed.
The McLaurin speech is the talk OF
political circles. In his speech the
senator, telling what he thinks
Bleaseism is, said:
when "a man applies for life in
surance he is asked n string OF ques-
tions about his ancestry. Hereditary
tendencies are carefully noted Tor
several generations, and the general
average of the mortuary table is
mathematically correct.
POLITICAL HEREDITY.
"This doctrine of heredity applied
TO great political movements makes
what we call the history Of the hui
man race.
"To comprehend Bleaseism one
must first understand Tillmanism; 1t
is parent and child. Tillmanism is
the daddy; Bleaseism is the boy just
in long pants, finding out that he is a
man and anxious to try his strength.

MRS. TURNER ENDS
LIFE IN DENVER

Wtth a sad loss in tine death of tMy
wife. which occurred Monday at the
county hospital in Denver After bid
ding his wife goodbye at the sta
ton Sunday afternoon, he was shock
ed with the message after his arrival
at his home in Russell, that his wife
had attempted suicide ON his depart
ure for home and was in the county
hospital in Denver, suffering from her
injuries. Mr.. Turner at once engag-
ed a rig to carry him to Golden 80
that he could take the electric into
Denver. A. $3.50 p. m, hurried
drive was made DOWN the canyon
but he was five minutes too late to
catch the last electric car for DEN
YER. An automobile WAS chartered
at Golden to finish the journey.
Mrs. Turner had been in Denver
for the benefit of her health for the
past three months as her heart was
weak and the high altitude Of her
home was not favorable to her good
health The Denver papers of Mon
day had the following to say regard
ing her sad demise:
Mrs. Clara Turner, wife of a Cen
City mining man, leaped from the
Sixteenth street viaduct into the
railroad yards yesterday afternoon
Within ten minutes after she had
kissed her husband goodby at the
Union station. She is dying at the
County hospital.
Several men and women were
standing on the viaduct at the time
she took the plunge. They ran to
ward her when She climbed to the
guard rail, but she chose the high
est point on the arch and jumped
before they could reach her. Both
arms and legs We're broken She was
internally injured. Depression con-
cerning her health is supposed to
have caused her attempted suicide.
Thomas Turner, lae woman's hus-
band, is a miner employed at the
Frontenaac i'm Russell Gulch. He
had spent the day with her in Den
Yer and boarded his train to return
home. He was notified by telephone
and hurried to Denver last night af-
ter driving through Clear Greek
gulch to reach the Interurban line
at Golden ,....-..l !.
Mrs. Turner has been in Denver
for about three months suffering
from a nervous breakdown. Her
home has been with Mrs. Minnie Mel
low, 443O Columbine stret.
'At the train yesterday she beg
ged her husband to take her home
but on account of her health he re
fused. After the train left the sta
tion without her she went to the viar
duct, where she stood for several
moments. She then walked directly
over where the Colfax cars stor
at Wyankoop street. She stood there
for several moments and climbed
over the railng and leaped to the
ground, twenty feet below.
Several weeks ago Mrs. Turner
wrote letter to Mrs. Anna Douglas
1O14 Boulevard F, saying she thought
she was losing her mind. 1t is the
opinion OF her friends that after hel
husband left her yesterday the WON
am became temporarily insane
The remains of Mrs. Turner were
brought up from Denver this morn
ing and conveyed to Russell Gulch
from the Russell church.
