Il will support the principles and
| policies Of the Democratic party dur
ing the term OF Office for which | may
be elected. and work in ACCORD
With my DEMOCRATIC ASSOCI-
| ATES III Congress on all party ques-

How would Governor Blcase, as
senator, make that old "anti-Blcase-
itc," Ben Tillnlan, Sweat and at the
same time keep his pledge?
How does it comport with the "Tin-
nantes" Of T'ir2ah and Lisbon and
other rural districts OF South Caro-
lima to send Mr.. Bleasc to Washington
to make Ben Tillman sweat?
II you "Bleascites" in Charleston
want Something done mt the White
house FOR your navy yard, or your
garrison ut Fort NIoultrie, or your
harhor, or your immigrant station,
would you ask Mr.. Hlcase or Mr.. TIL.
man to introduce you mt the White
House!
or, YOU "BleaSeiteS" of George.
Gown, ii YOU wanted to request the
War Department, Secretary GarrisOn's
department. to help You in some mat.
ter connected with the Santce river
or the dredging OF your hnrbOr, would
You rather have Il senator Smith or
Il Senator HlcnSc to speak a word in
Garrison's car for YOU.
You "Blcascitcs" are men OF com
mon sense. Vote for Bleasc, yell for
Blcase. split Your throats and burst
your lungs for Blcase as you like, but
answer in your own mind.
How much would II senator in
Washington giving time and thought
ior "tic next six years" to making
the i-E;cascitcS" in South Caro-
lima "SHcat" HELP Y0T!
Go ahead, "BlcascitGs." 80 right in.
the waters fine.
No. we don't want the Govcrno,,
elected senator. We want a senator
who in Washington has represented
all the people. who would work for
Charleston rs Tillman has worked
for Charleston though Charleston
voted against him. who would know
neither "Bleaseitc" nor "anti- -Blcase-
itc", who would find no pleasure in
making any South Carolina Democrat
sweat
And here and now, OH the respon-
sibility OF this newspaper. we pledge
for Il. ID. Smith, for l.. ID. Jennings
and w. =. Pollock, to you "Bleasc.
ites," that no one of them, If elected
senator, will make any Of YOU "swcat,"
but rather will work for you when
ever YOU have any fair proposition to
advance, as Il senator representing the
) Democratic people Of South Carolina
Should work for YOU.
To us, it does not seem generous
or fair or right that you "Blcaseites"
, should try to send senator to Wash
ington who says he wound punish us
would make us sweat for six years
because we prefer to vote for another
candidate, but YOU are entitled to your
, opinion, YOU arc free agents. and if
YOU think that is what a Democratic
senator should do, why, as your Gov
: ernor would say, I'VE can't help it,"
MI Smith is now a senator. The
writer nf these words voted against
him in 1908. But he has made no
: war on the "anti-Smithites" of that
year
lie stands in Washington for ali the
Democratic people OF South Carolina
and for the Woodrow Wilson Demo
f cratic party in the United States.
Some Of YOU "Bleaseitcs'' (miahty
few according to our information)
are cotton raiscrs. Suppose the great
, majority OF cotton raiscrs, The same
being -l}lcaseitcs" should ask
a Senator Blcasc to support bill
affecting the cotton market Don't
YOU think he would make 'cm
swcat?" And don't you think, if he
did, YOU "Blcaseitc' cotton raisers,
you would sweat" with 'cm?"
However what's the use? You know
YOU mustn't believe anything The
State says" Jump right in; the wa
ter's fine. Perhaps if you send your
man TO Washington he will have the
whole national Democratic admins
tration eating out Of his hand in less
than week, while the anti -Blcasc-
tics sweat The State.
Wake up your liver. a lazy liver
