SENATORIAL CAMPAIGNERS
Lively Times at Gaffney and Spartan
burq.

After leaving Yorkville, the sena-
torial campaigners went to Gaffney
and Spartanburg, and there were un-
usually lively meetings at both places.
After Spartanburg, the campaigners
took a rest for two days and the next
meeting is to be held at Union tomor-
row.
The Gaffney meeting was overwhel-
mingly in favor c. Governor Blease.
and showed but little disposition TO
submit to the abuse Of Messrs Jen-
nings and Pollock; but gave Senator
Smith a very respectable hearing.
Pollock was heckled numerically.
Governor Blease left the stand accord
ing to his custom after he had finish
ed his speech, and a large part OF the
crowd went with him. Very few OF
the governors friends remained to
hear what Mr. Jennings had to say.
When Mr.. Pollock took up the asy-
lum investigation, Mr.. n. w. Hardin,
a BleaSe member of the general as
sembly, who was on the committee
that unanimously eXhonerated Or.
Saunders, asked Mr.. Pollock: DO
YOU not know as a matter of fact, that
Governor Blease asserted the inno-
cence of DR.. Saunders all along?" Mr..
Pollock replied that while that was
true, the governor had nevertheless
cast reflection on DR.. Saunders by in
sinuation and inuendo.
Senator Smith made his usual speech
along the line of his efforts in behalf
of the farmer, and said that the farm
ers would again send him to the SEN
ate.
Governor Blease made about the
same speech as heretofore, but was
frequently interrupted by the anti
Blease people. He talked back at the
hecklers pretty vigorously, calling one
of them liar.
The crowd at Spartanburg was al
most as large as that Of two years ago,
and lust as much of a Blease crowd.
The Bleasites wore red badges, the
first to appear in the present campaign.
The meeting was held in the opera
house and only part of the tre-
mendous crowd was able to get in.
Senator Smith was the first speak
er. He was very hoarse. His voice
was almost gone when he was at
Yorkville. He was still hoarse at
Gaffney and at Spartanburg he could
hardly make himself heard. AS
soon as he began to speak, the crowd
began to guy him. Governor Blease
begged for a hearing for the senator,
but the crowd would not listen. Sena-
tor Smith was very angry, and shaking
with wrath, he asked. 'Is this an ex-
hibition of the proud spirit of South
Carolina?" There was chorus of
Noes" Senator Smith was permit
ted to say a part of what he had to
say, but between the interruptions
and his broken voice, he soon gave it
up. His closing declaration was: THE
farmers will send Ed Smith back to
the United States senate even If you
do not allow him to make a single
speech"
Governor Blease was the next speak
er. The crowd became quiet on his ap-
pearance, and listened to him with
close attention while he made about
the same speech he has been making
elsewhere After he left the stand, a
large part of the crowd left also, and
Messrs. Pollock and Jennings were
free to say all they wanted to say.

The Plan of Battle.

Some of the readers of this are for
Smith for the senate, some for Blease,
some for Jennings and some for Pol
lock, and there are some who are not
going to like what we are going to say
about the matter; but all the same we
are going to say at least a part of
what We think. We would say it all; ;
but that would require too much
space.
This fight for the United States
senate comprehends an interesting
political game. Some of the features
of this game are plain enough for any
body to see, and others are involved in
more or less mystery and doubt.
The real race is between Smith and
Blease-one standing for conservatism
and the other for reform, with Jen-
nings and Pollock, helping Smith in
accordance with plan carefully pre-
arranged.
Nobody expects Jennings or Pollock
TO get any considerable number of
votes. They are not expecting any
thing of the kind themselves. If eth
er of them should get into the second
race with either Smith or Blease, the
only man who would be more surpris-
ed than himself would be the other
one.
But Jennings and Pollock are not in
this thing without motive There is
no need for anybody to deceive them
selves on that score.
AS to just what the selfish interest
behind the motive of these two poll
ticians is, we do not know. Possibly
it is money-eXpenses paid from some
source. and Il good bonus in addition.
But we have no idea that that is the
whole motive. In case of success in
defeating Blease, whether they them
selves get any large vote or not; both
of these men will claim further re-
ward from the faction for which they
are working.
Everybody who has heard the sem
atorial campaigners and even thou
sands who have read the reports that
have been published in the papers,
have noticed several things that seem
quite peculiar. Among these things
are:
l. While at every meeting both Jen-
nings and Pollock rap Smith very
lightly. both score Governor Blease as
severely as the audience will permit.
,. While all the really hard knocks
that Smith is getting are coming from
Blease. Smith occasionally comes back
at Jennings and Pollock in a mild in
offensive kind of way; but never has
Il word to say about or against Blcase.
The whole thing looks like not only
a thorough understanding, but a very
comprehensive understanding.
Judge Jones. really an able and as
tute campaigner, who twenty years
ago had the reputation of being star
Of the hustings almost in the class Of
Ben Tillman. tried to assume the ag-
grcsSivo two years ago and put Gov
crnOr BlcaSc on the defensive. In the
second meeting of the campaign. Gov
"rnor BlcaSe became the aggressor,
and he kept Judge Jones on the de-
fcnSive on until the end of the cam
paign.
With the circumstance related in
mind ana also recognizing Governor
Bl"asc's unqucstioned ability as a cam
paigner, the opposition leaders this
year framed up the present plan of
campaign.
This plan is To have Jennings and

Remember that the time for enroll
ment will have expired before the reg
ular official canvass by the county
campaigners begins.
Some of the precincts already have
their enrolment figures pretty nearly
up to the vote Of two years ago. 9th
ers are still far below their figures.
Mr.. w. G. Turner of Sharon, reports
the Matching of chicken in his
yard the other day that had four legs,
four wings, two bodies and one head.
1t was dead.
Only three more weeks for enroll
ment. Those who fail to put their
full names on the club rolls on or be-
fore the last Tuesday in July, will not
be allowed to vote in the primary.
Why, If any secretary or member of
enrolment committee, allows anybody
to enroll except by signing his full
name, the secretary or member of the
enrolment committee so offending,
should be held responsible. That is
all.
Demonstration Agent John R. Blair
says that taking York county over,
the stand of cotton is the poorest in
twenty-seven years. A gentleman
who was in Yorkville yesterday, says
that he had passed over about four
miles Of the lower Hickory Grove and
Sharon road during the morning, and
estimates that he saw $50 acres Of cot
ton land that did not have stand
enough to give promise Of fifty bales.
1T may make more than that" he
said, but it certainly don't look like
it now"

The Florence correspondent Of the
Columbia State says that the poll
ticians Of that county are a little shy,
and are little slow about offering for
election. The trouble is, the folks who
want office over that way are just a
little doubtful as to whether the coun-
ty has a Blease or anti-Blease majori-
ty. If they were sure the majority was
for Blease, then they would know how
to manage. and if they were sure it was
against Blease, then likewise. And
Florence county is not altogether by
itself in this regard.

Discussing the South Carolina sena-

Charlotte Observer remarks:
LAS regards the present senatorial
race, our best observation at this
time is that Messrs Pollock and Jen-
nings, the two amateurs in a sort of
political contest where amateurs stand
no chance, will draw more votes from
Smith than from Blease. We do not
think there is any doubt that Blease
and Smith will be the two candidates
in the second primary. 1t is believed
by Blease's enemies that they will
then have fine chance to get his
scalp. But they have failed with
seemingly finer opportunities before"
