Blease for Third Terml
In connection with the above ru-
NOR. Senator Allen Johnstone Of New
berry is quoted as saying: u know
| Cole Blease and his ways. II he
thinks he can't beat Smith. he will.
run for governor 70 save himself
again. and II looks to me like that js.
what he is fixing to do"
There may or may not be anything
In these rumors, | give them for,
what they are worth, but there un-i
doubtedly is a fratricidal strife being
waged by rival groups OF Bleaseites
supporting favOrlte for governor
And It is equally certain that the
governor cannot arbitrarily select a
candidate without losing the aupport
OF each Of the Others u.
4 Unless: these differences are liar
monized In come equitable manner, It
lss hard to conjecture what the result
VIII be. The rank and file OF Bleaes-
/ ties expect and want, straight

and a. fecogplzed. and s strong ing candi. as.
date for each office from senator
down; to coroner;. but viii the ,polii-
/, ,tic!nns lay. aside personal feelings and

like. a. cincii for CJlnkscales and Man
ming to- get into the second race to-
McLaurin for the Seinator7
i In that event ,how will. t affect the
senatorial race? Here Is the way
some politicians hope 1t will work.
and they may be right. who knows?
Suppose for instahce Senator. Nc
I.aurin should conclude that there
were too many Blease candidates for
i governor and au0nunced that he
'woonld make the race, as an indepan-:
i the platform. previously anhounGed?
4 He Ia ,l"rgely supported by men who
are Anti-Blease, and many strong and
i Influential, Blease men who. think the
state: ,government OF more important
TO- them than, the senator. Which is
the case among our people generally.
Il IN that case 1t is very reasonable
Ito conclude that the supporters of
McLnurin as an independent candi-
date would sacrifice the. senatorial
proposition to elect their man COVER,
