The campaign up TO date proves
that my analysis was correct at first.
The Gubernatorial campaign is get
ting farther and farther away from
toe Senatorial, and is so iady-like and
mild, that it would seem grotesQue
to attempt to disturb the sweet
sIumbers Of the Gubernatorial
sleepers.
No. Governors speaking last
this time, but to be heard by even
the small crowds they ask to rotate
with the minor officers. Maybe If
John Duncan could speak last every
day h. could ho,G the crowd for
them.
Why not ask Richards why he
don't resign? Or whether he wants
to hold his Office to pay campaign
expenses with the salary and free
transportation? Or whether he
thinks he will need Il after the eiec-
ton?

think the second race will be be-
tween Mendel Smith, Cooper, Clink-
scales or Manning. in which case
Mendel Smith will be the next Gov
ernor. We Bleaseites have dropped
our candy as far the Chief Execu-
torship is concerned.
Even if Richards is elected, we
are still out of it, for he is support
ed by a combination OF Ben Tillman,
John Gary Evans, Charleston liquor
interests, the Columbia State ard
turn-coat minor Bleaseite leaders.

Mar Who Served as One Of Bleases Body Guards in the
Last Campaign Tells Why McLauin Got Gold
Feet An Interesting Story.

w 7 tbQ.! .dooSe) Beard. writing
under the ho", dc p.,ta' "SinGad",
had the following ,e.ter in The An
derson lnteliigencer Of Friday. and
as il is ne first expression from the
McLau"in camp since The former
Senator'S Withdrawal from the Gov
ernor's race. il w;N be read with IT.
tereS::
Editor ne ince,!ige-crr:
In giving this statement 70 the
press Il my purpose 20 Show why
Senator McLaurin should not and did
not aselessly enter the Guhernatorial
race as a vicarious sacrifice whereby
unworthy aspirants 10 high office
would benefit by the expenditure OF
his campaign fund and MS ability as
a campaigner. And also TO show
why ne true Blease man, when fully
informed, or anti. either, for that mat
ter. can afford TO vote for John G
Richards. unless. indeed, they are pre-
pared to honor the memory of Bene-
dict Arnold and defend the act of
Brutus.
First, twelve candidates for one
Office and the short time allowed
each, is ridiculous, for no man can
possibly discuss the issues, much less
make a defense of Governor Blease's
official record as a Blease candidate
should be able and willing to do, in
twelve or fourteen minutes.
Second, Blease leaders, for their
own selfish purposes, are supporting
one or more of the anti-Blease can
didateS. These conditions are more
or less in vogue all over the State
and all of the anti-Blease candidates
for Governor are the recipients of
this support, thus weakening the fac
tional candidate by at least one
fourth. if he had no factional oppo-
sition.
Third, there were three other
Blease candidates to divide this al
ready minority vote with, making it
impossible to get a straightout Blease
man in the second race.
Fourth, the one partisan candidate,
Mendel L Smith, will get as large
Blease vote as any of the Blease can
didates themselves, making assurance
doubly sure that no straightout
Blease man will be in the second |
race, even.
Fifth. not satisfied with allowing
their personal ambitions and greed
for office, envy, jealousy, incapacity
for intelligent leadership, and general
lack of harmony and good faith, to
demoralize the Blease faction as a
fighting force, number of inconsid-
crate leaders, intent only upon their
personal aggrandizement, left the
Blease ranks to seek candidate
whom they could exploit and manip-
ulate and slipped John G Richards in
under cover of night. after rescuing
him from the Anti discard.
McLaurin is too big man to run
as puppet for any set of dark Ian
tern ringsters masquerading as lead
ers of the cause of the masses, who
assemble themselves under the magic
name of ''Blease' and the common
people" to further their own ambi-
tious schemes, so he did not enter
the lists.
He could have run as an indepen-
dent Blease man like lrby, Sims and /
MuNalley, making q fourteen-minute .

and hewill obey his political masters,
if elected.
He was first a strong dispensary-
i.e. then. when that institution tot
tered, Statewide prohibitionist:
when Cole Blease won out on local
option he became convinced that To-
Cal option was ordained of God, and
now ne is a very strong and earnest
local-option-prohibition- county-d i S
penSaryite, depending altogether
upon the dominant sentiment Of the
section he happens to be in.
He has been on every side of every
question and in his eel-like political
course has always topped from one
question to another; from fiery fur
mace to frozen glacier, with the ease
and $aHg:troW of salamander-
but always fopped too late to land.
Mr. Richards sole claim to Blease-
ism is due to the fact that after
had fully 'Xposed his political dou-
/ ble-dealing and forced his hand and
the hands of his friends under great
stress of pressure from those hidden
| friends, he came into the Governors S
office and stated to those assembled
that as the Governors principles
are nearest to mine, if anyone asks
me whom | will vote for for Senat-
or, will say Blease.' Then after
wards, in answer to inquiry as to
how Senator Tillman would take it,
he replied in effect: i have written
to him explaining my position, and
it is satisfactory to him." Thus did
he and his friends dangle before the
eyes of Bleaseites the great prize of
Tillman's friendship and assistance,
basing the whole proposition upon
treason to one side or the other per
haps both.
| don't know but Tillman's friends
are talking that Richards gave TIL
man to understand that he was still
loyal to Tillman and only declared
for Blease TO get the vote" l be-
lieve that is entirely true, for Rich
ards was averse to making public
declaration and was evading it until
| published it on him and made him
come out in the open.
Bleaseites, | suppose, will be lad
to learn that Mr. Richards was the
author Of the act repeating the lien
law especially the poor farm rent
ers. And that in 1911, at barbecue
at his home, Liberty Hill, it is said
he refused to introduce the Governor
to the audience when requested to
do so. But in 1911 the Governor was
under a hot fire of brutal criticism
and socially ostracised as an official
bv the Ants, who are Mr. Richards
friends and relatives, and was sup
posed to be down and out as polit-
ical factor. Since that time ne has

makes big difference, and there

SHOTS SMASH TARGETS
Remarkable Gunnery at Honolulu
Puts Stop to Practice.

A remarkable proof OF big gun efficiency
was given at Fort Kamehameha, Homo
lulu. recently, when two targets were
blown out OF the water and utterly.
wrecked with three shots fired, at a range
of 1000 yards. The 18th Company, Cap
tain O. Jones, manning the l2-lnch gun
battery established this record for night
shooting, but as result OF this whole
sale destruction of targets the pra actice
had to be called Off TO be completed at a
later date.
The first shot fred struck squarely in
the centre OF the small pyramidal target
with a l6-foot base, that is used merely.
as an aiming point the hits being COM
puted by the proximity OF the splash to
the marker II was over an hour before
a new target was procured and practice
resumed The second shot struck the
water lust short OF the target and the
third again found its mark. ana blew the
frame out of the water No more targets
were available and practice was called
ON
