GOVERNOR BLEASE STATES
HIS POSITION On ISSUES
CONTINUED FROM PAGE ~

the present secretary of State OF the
United States under President Wilson,
bolted the democratic ticket in Nebras-
ka in 1910 or 1911. None of these
papers that are now raising this howl
are now accusing him Of being an in
dependent or of not being democrat.
On the contrary, they followed his lead
in the Baltimore convention.
To SHOW you the utter inconsistency
of this sheet which now attempts TO
criticize me and to read me out OF the
democratic party because | was not a
Wilson man for the nomination, in
their issue of April 9Th, 1914, in speak
ing of the candidacy of Mr.. Under
wood for the United States senate,
they say:
within the last week Underwood
has done a thing that, under the cir
cumstances, proves his quality and
temper to our mind better than any
thing he has done in a long While, and
he has done many notable things. He
opposed the repeal of the tolls eXemp-
ton act, thereby aligning himself tor
the moment against the admins ra-
ton that he mas magnificently served.
Hence, you see, when it suits them
in defence of their man, it is all right
for him to fight agains. the adminlstra-
ton. or do anything else he wants 10
do but on the other hand, with their
usual inconsistency, no matter what
their opponent does, he does wrong.
| invite comparison OF my record
as a democrat and as one who mas
always been true to the democratic
party with the record OF any other
man in the Darts.
It is true that Mr. Wilson, under
certain recommendations from our State,
has seen fit so far not to give single
public office to a "Bleaseite, as some
call them. Every office that he has
given in South Carolina has been to
men who were against me and my
friends, and in some instances he has
given them to men who have voted
against the democratic nominees. L
have not complained If my friends
have asked for anything do not Know
it, and most assuredly have not asked
for anything for any Of them, and /
only mention this to show you that
Mr.. Wilson, either himself or through
his advisers in this State, has absolutely
ignored the present governor OF South
Carolina and his followers, and instead
of treating them with fairness and
any consideration at all. ne has turned
as deaf ear to them as he could have
turned il they had been Dol,er
In order to show you more fully the
kind Of people who are questioning my
democracy, 1 desire to call your atten-
ton not only to the editor, but to the
owners and managers Of this daily
newspaper in Columbia that is holding
itself up as the great guardian OF
South Cardinals democracy and as the
censor of the democratic party. |

] The platform of the Farmers Move
ment, held in March, 1890, in section
II, stated: "Believeing with Thomas

Il: Before the election in 1912, and

still favor that, and go further
and favor that candidates for the Unit
! ed States Senate, as included in the
amended constitution Of the demo-
cratic party, also go face to face be-
/ fore the people Of this STATE. The ef-
! fort to abolish the county-to-county
canvass is made by the newspaper ed
itors, who hope to keep the truth from
the voters and force the people 10 ac-
cept the newspaper accounts OF What
is being said and done by the candi-
dates, and thus, by lies and abuse, de-
ceive the voters in favor OF the news
paper favorites and against those
whom they oppose.
! Allow me to announce the principle
that should be the platform Of the can
didates this summer:
1st. An honest administration of all
laws, fairly and impartially to all citi-
zens alike.
2nd. Enforcing all laws upon all
subjects, and obedience to the con-
stitution of the United States and the
constitution of South Carolina
3rd. Keeping forever separate the
legislative, judicial and executive de-
partments Of the government, each,
however, doing its duty and endeaVor-
ing to uphold and support the other.
4th. Trial by jury for all persons
accused of crime, and enforcing the
judgments Of courts founded upon the
verdirts CT the juries.
If you should allow me further to
suggest, J would make the following
issues:
First. Competency.
+ Second. Honesty OF purpose.
Third. Education
Fourth. Taxation.
Fifth. The Fortner bill, or similar
measure that will prevent white people
from teaching negroes in any school
or college in this State.
Sixth. A flat rate of two cents per

Have they ever spoken a pleasant

Have they ever done one thing to up

condition they have ever been in.

only a short while until there will
not be any cry for compulsory educa-

kind of schools are located convenient
