The herald and news. [volume] (Newberry S.C.) 1903-1937, 1914-08-21

when the fire boys go of to their
tournaments. there our governor is 70
lelp and encourage the Newoerry
boys.
And although he has been living in
Columbia for nearly four years, Gov
.ernor Blease still stands by his peo-
pie here, and stays in touch with
taem. He hasn't moved MS church
membership, he hasn't moved his
membership in single secret der
he belongs to, although the Columbia
people would have been glad to get
him into theirs.
And Cole L. Blease will always stick
to old Newberry, where the people
hare IGNORED MIN and showed taeir
love for him. When he gets to Wash
ington, he will get more jobs for New
berry people. Of course, they will be
his friends. You don't expect him to
worry himself to death to get places
for people who run around curslng
him and fighting him, do you?
Oh. but some one will say, well, he
hasn't given me job" Perhaps that
is true. Friend, the reason he didn't
is because there were more people
than there were jobs. He hasn't gwen
me any. But l am not mad. l am
glad that he did give them to NeWber-
ry people though, to people who need
ed the Jobs worse than I did, | expect,
although I am pretty poor. l am glad
that ne let all these Newberry men
and boys have these jobs, for they
bring much of their money back to
Newberry to spend And I want to'se
every dollar l can spent in Newberry
Some of it may reach me. 1t won t
reach me if spent in a county way OH
from Newberry.
Some day Cole. Blease may get to
be president of the United States.
Now. some of you are laughing. |
see you. Yes, and you laughed when
he started to running for governor,
didn't you? And many man has be-
come president O" the United States
who was laughed at long before he got
there. I expect they laughed at Wood
row Wilson when he was young
man. have read how they laughed
at Abraham Lincoln and Andrew
Johnson. Anddf Collie gets to be pres
ident, as l believe he will, then just
watch out for the Newberry people
who will say, t'I helped him, He is
from Newberry, my home county, my
home town. When he is president
ne will sure have good Jobs to give
away. l am going to wait for one OF
them, and I believe Will get t. Yes
and every Blease man in Newberry
county who wants one.
Has Senator Smith helpeG New
berry men? Has any one else helped
them like Cole. Blease? Shouldn't
Newberry people help our home man
our Collie.
Now. another thing. If Cole. Blease
goes to Washington as senator, he
vii. 2e1p Newberry with its mail SER
ice and things like that. He will
know the county and know what the
1eople need and want. Before his
first term is out, Prosperity and Whit
mire will have government poStoffices,
nice buildings, am willing to bet, for
Cole can get whatever he goes after.
If Collie goes to Washington, you
won't mind writing him what you
want to say to him, it will be like
writing to a friend. to some one you
know, to a home boy. You can say,
Dear Collie" and he will like it. And
7:e will go right around and attend
TO what you want him to do for you.
And see how many government books
and public documents he will get p'ac-
ed in the public schools Of this coun-
ty. Has Senator Smith put any in
your school in the past six years? |
haven't heard of any.
There are some things I want New
berry voters to think about before
they vote against Collie next Tuesday.
Think about it Sunday, talk about it
to your wife and children.
am not smart man. l am only
plain cotton mill man, who has been
a farmer, but am writing how things
look to me.
