Pollock do all the aggressive work, and
have Smith assume he attitude of
being a Bleaseite as far as possible,
with Smith only fighting back enough
to keep down suspicion Of collusion.
1t is a noticeable fact that the per-
sonal vilifcation policy Of two years
ago has been abandoned. The sole OBJ
ject of that policy was to obscure the
old factional lines; but the policy hav-
ing defeated itself through it's own vi
ciousness, has been abandoned.
The principal reliance Of Governor
Blease to cripple the opposition is on
the carefully prepared speech he de-
livered at st. Matthews and copies of
which he is broadcasting over the
state. In this speech he reviews the
political record of Senator Smith from
the beginning, and absolutely proves
the active connection of that gentle
man with the Independent movement
led by Col A. c. Haskell, in 1890, and
makes clear number Of other points
on which he would vest his cause.
AS to how the game is going to work
out is still a matter for future deter
mination; but until it is clear that the
crisis has been reached and passed. in
terest in the tide of the battle will
steadily increase.
