this stand to-day" He said he had
told the governor he was Feather
legged" and coward.
You have seen his face and
mine," said the speaker, "and God
Almighty never stamped such face
on an honest man"
He said the governor, bridleless
and riderless, romped over the State
two years ago and ''lied on Judge
JONES'" but now "I've got bride on
him with curD bit, am on his back,
popping the spurs to him and driving
him back to the livery stable in New

cracker, whom he turned loose" He
said he noticed that Portland Ned"
had been caught again, "and while
Uncle Sam has Portland Ned I have
my foot on Cole Blease's political
neck, which the people OF South Car.
DINA will break on August 25."
Mr.. Pollock brought the final
laughs Of the campaign by reading
the Charleston list and the parody
on "OId King Cole" When the
speaker denounced the governor as
a poor, dirty hypocrite.'' somebody
shouted, "Hit him again" Mr.. Pol

South Carolina and send him back
to that dirty livery stable in New

by the crowd to continue, although
his time had expired.
Mr.. Pollock concluded by saying
he was in the race in. response to a
call from his mother State to redeem
South Carolina; that he decided if
nobody else would 60 about and eX-
