= Chester Reporter: Every day 1T Is
becoming more apparent that Ex-
United States Senator John L. Nc
Laurin, now state senator from MARI
boro county, isstoe bes the <Blease cam
didate for governor next year, though
Geo. r. Rembert, of Richland county,
Is swinging frantically to Coles coat-
tails and Is urging with all the might
and vehemence at his command his
right to the Blease vote. Years ago,
however, when McIaurin was running
for the United States senate, Mr..
EBlease was his campaign manager,
and a. close and Intimate relation no
doubt still exists between the two men
which makes 1t probable that IL Gov.
Blease actively espouses the cause Of
any candidate next year in the race
for governor, 1t will be that of Nc
Laurin and not Rembert. In the mean
time there are those who say that VII.
Ham Randolph Hearst, who published
an interesting and Illuminating series
Of letters that passed . between Mr..
McLaurin, then a member Of the
United States senate, and John d.
Archbold, who is high and mighty In
the councils Of the Standard on Octo-
pus, showed only a little Of his hand,
and will make some more interesting
contributions to political history when
the opportunity offers.
- Columbia, July II: In a dictated
statement, given out today, Gov. Cole
L. Blease took occasion to reiterate
his statement that ne thought Secre-
tary Of State Bryan should attend to
his official duties and not deliver
chautauqua lectures. He also took
lift at Senator Tillman for his inter-
view in which he criticised the chief
executive. .. The governors interview
follows: Yes, have noticed Senator
Tillman's interview. The first part Of
II is brought about by q statement
published In the newspapers which is
absolutely untrue, and II the senator
had read the News and Courier, Mr..
CaldwelPs report, he would have seen
the difference. I did not state, as
quoted by Senator Tillman, and as
published In the Columbia Record,
Senator Tillman ruined himself with
the people of South Carolina in 5ust
the same manner when he went about
lecturing instead Of remaining In
Washington and attending to the bus
mess In the senate What said and
now repeat, was. that Senator Tiilman
broke his health down and ruined his
usefulnes to the people of South Caro-
lima by running around over the coun-
try delivering lectures and over-work-
ing himself. / repeat that now. II was
also misquoted In the paper as to what
/ said about Secretary Of State Bryan.
I said nothing about him drawing two
salaries, because anybody with good
sense knows that matter of holding
a public Office and appearing on the
platform are not In conflict with each
other, so far as the salary is concern
ed: but what i said was that I did not
think that the secretary of state of
this great nation should be going
around a chautauqua circuit under the
management or some little fellow like
a circus rider under O ringmaster, and
I still think that 1t Is beneath the dig
nifty Of the position which Mr.. Bryan
holds for him to so act. So far as
money Is concerned, that, In my opin-
Ion, is not to be taken into considera-
tion In the matter at all. It is q ques-
tion Of dignity on his part AS for the
remaining part Of Senator Tiilman's
interview care to have nothing to
say. 1t shows what have long since
said and what repeated at Hender-
sonville-that the old man Is very
weak minded, he is now enfeebied
and I am satisfied that his past con-
duct Is his own elections Is working
on his enfeebled mind and no doubt
the loss Of life in the Darlington riot
is also playing its part In his refer
ence to the militia situation In this
state. and that he is more to be pitied
than to be blamed.
