SOME DETERMINATIONS

The State convention of 1914 deter
mined to defeat Governor Blease In
his race for the senate. The main
thing the big majority of the members
OF that convention had against Blease
was the fact that he is backed by the
masses OF the people, the farmers, the
cotton mill operatives and other lab
oring men. The convention made rules
thnt It's leaers thought would de-
prive many Of these good people from
voting. 1t was provided that far
mer, a mill operative, railway en-
gineer. and all the laboring people
must reside In the state for two years
and In the county for six months be-
fore they can vote, and these men have
to lay down their work, sometimes ut
great Inconvenience, to go personally
to enroll.
The newspapers claimed two years
ago that all the preachers and school
teachers were against Blease. Tho
1914 convention believed what the
newspapers said. So. the convention
put In provision that school teachers
and preachers could vote II they came
into the state and into the county
by July 2Sth. 1914. within less than q
month bcfore the primary.
Now, we have nothing against
preachers and teachers. God bless
them for the good work they are do
ing. And We are glad to say that
many OF them are supporting Blcase
for the United States senate. But
we do think the farmer, the mill man,
the railroad man, the carpenter and
all other white citizens of South Caro-
lima are entitled to the came privi-
leges as the preachers and teachers
are entitled to have. A farmer who
has paid taxes In South Carolina to
support the government. and who has
helped to support the teachers and
preachers should have the same right
to vote that the teachers and preach
crs have, especially when that teacher
and preacher have not paid one cent
OF taxes.

SMITHS HELPERS

IN former political races in the state
the spectacle has been seen of some
entry in the race for the purpose of
defeating. il possible, some leading
candidate. The people of South Caro-
lima have never believed in such tao
tics and have always, in no uncertain
manner, placed the stamp Of their dis
approval upon them. For the first
TIME in the political history of the
state. however, there is n race today
"a race for the United States senate
lin which one OF the candidates has
two helpers. That candidate is Sena-
tor Smith. First one assistant came
out. He wasn't enough help. Then
came another. and the trouble now
with the Smith forces is that both of
these assistants together are not
help enough, even though they take up
their whole time each day attacking
the record of Governor Blease- rec-
ord which every school boy in South
Carolina knows; record which has
been made open and above board.
The anti-Blease forces realized that
they needed help. Now they realize
that all the help they could secure
avails them naught. for the reason
that the people know that Blease Is a
man Of the people and stands for the
people.

SOME "ANARCHIsTS"-KEEP cool

Two years ago we heard much about
Governor Blease's supporters being
"hoodlums" and anarchists" And
there has been some more of this kind
OF talk in this. campaign. A wealthy
banker of Crecnville on Saturday
made speech in that city, and, as
reported in the daily papers went so
far rs to say that any man with edu-
cation who supported Governor Blease
was skunk" Then one Of Senator
Smiths assistants said recently that
the "lawless" elected Blease In 1912.
or course, these christian, educated.
high-toned citizens" do not realize the
great SANDERS they are putting on
their own people when they say these
kind OF things about $4,000 white vot-
'ers of South Carolina.
But we have noticed that 80 far, in
no campaign, has any of these Blease
"hoodlums" or Blease anarchists"
made any effort to assault any Of the
governors opponents. .-'
And we must say that we fear Gov
ernor Blesse does not realize how
much he is hated by some people vino
are opposed to the best interests of
the masses. a certain class are aw-
fully desperate over their defeat on
two occasions. They are desperate
now at the prospect of Governor
Blease's election TO the senate by big
majority. Sope fanatic may attempt
to kill the governur-he may even sue
ceed. We hope that the leaders of the
opposition to the governor will use
their influence to keep their fanatical
lieutenants quiet. It would be an aw-
full thing for them to realize. when 1t
Is too late. that their words and works
had brought some poor. benighted fell
bowman to the point OF numbering
governor of their grand old state.
Let us all be cool and quiet.

T.aIMERMAN's GOOD WORK

George Bell Zimmerman of Lexing-
ton. Is admitted by all who know him
and his work to be q mighty good
solicitor nut the people may not gen.
erally know what fight he made for
their interests at the state convention
1t was he who tried To get in O pro-
vision that no negro should vote In tae
primary. While he failed. he desery es
credit for his fight.
But Solicitor Zimmerman succeed
ed In ono matter. The great men who
framed the rules for the management
OF the primary elections loft out any
provision that tho ballots were to be
counted In public. Rather strange
that honest men, seeking to have an
honest election. should not think Of
the importance Of having the votes
counted where he people could see.
But Zimmerman caught on oN,ct, and
when he let them know that - ,,ai
-csuEht on, they had to come
and two or three men cannot lock
themselves up in q little room aud
count the Votes Of the people. They
must count In the open. s,..s'
s George Bell Zimmerman deserves,
and will get the thanks Of the people
of South Carolina for his work and
wat atchfnlness In their interest.

The anti-Bleasc state convention
took every advantage 1t possibly could
of the governor and his friends in the
race for the United States senate.
Then the governors enemies have
taken other advantages since the con-
vention adjourned. Senator Smith has
been furnished with two assistants.
At the campaign meetings, on three
out of four days. Senator Smith or one
OF his assistants has the last speech
while the governor has the last speech
on all the bunch only one time in four.
Then at Greenwood. over the protest
Of the governor, Smith and ono Of his
assistants were allowed to change
places in the order OF speaking.
But the Blcase men have one big
advantage at the meeting. They have
to cheer only one man-the governor.
The Smitl-or anti-Blease-men have
to whoop up Smith, and two assistants
and they are getting tired, and their
thronts are sore.

IS THE STATE RUINED2

Certain people and newspapers in
South Carolina claimed in 1910 that
II Blease should be elected, South
Carolina would be ruined financially,
and that no capital from outside
would be in vested in the State. They
made the same claims In 1912, when
the governor asked recollection.
Look about you today. See the
thousands Of dollars in your communi-
ty invested since DIca3c has been gov
crnor. Just look at those big buildings
that have been erected in the city of
Columbia. And the state Is borrowing
all the money II wants at q rate of 3
l-2 per cent. Money has cost the

KEEING DOWN FRAUD

Under the rules made by the great
convention OF 1914, citizen OF York
or Lexington counties must have lived
In the state two years before he can
vote in the primary. If he has lived
in the state one year, and happens to
live In Charleston. he can cast q bal
lot, Yet the people, who made these
rules claimed at the time, and claim
now, that they wanted fair and hon
est election, and thai tac great thing
to do Is to keep down frauo IN Charles
ton. Now what do you think Of that?
In 1912 Blease carried York and
Lexington. In 1912 Bleasr lost
Charleston by 800 votes. Was the
convention trying to keep Charleston
against Blcase and attempting to cut
him out Of votes In York and Lexing-
ton? How does It look to you. Mr..
