| There was no time to hear w. b. De-
Loach and D. w. Robinson against the
injunction; but they filed typewritten
arguments. Former Governor Blease

- Former Governor Blease has issued
an open letter in which he makes 1t
clear that there is nothing in common
| between himself and Solicitor Cooper.
| There is nothing in the report, he says,
| that he will support Cooper as against
| Manning, as under no circumstances
| could he be induced to support either
| Of these gentlemen. He says n
| while Cooper was not especially hos
| tile to Bleaseites on the stump, around
railroad stations, hotel and elsewhere,
he was more abusive than any or the
| other ~gubernatorial candidates, n
| that the idea that Cooper was friendly
to Blease was worked up on the quiet
by Cooper's friends with a view TO
landing BleaSe votes. The former
| governor says that he has had numer-
Gus letters from all parts Of the state
asking him to run for governor again,
| himself, and he not only expects to
heed the call, but he expects to make
the most vigorous campaign he has
ever made in his life. The only thing
| that will prevent him from running,
he a will be a general agreement
| Of the Blease party on a candidate
who will be considered more avail
| able, for which candidate the former
governor says he will put forth every
| effort. He desires it distinctly under
| stood, however, that he has not traded
| with anybody and that under no cir
| cumstances will he trade with any
body.
