DANGER SIGNAL OUT.
Bolt Is Fact, Newspaper of Piedmont
Asserts.

ASSCTtSs
Anderson Intelligencer.
Under the surface there is going on
over the State a quiet agitation among
many who participated in the Demo-
cratic primary TO defeat Gov. Man.
ming for reelection. In some quarters
there is coupled with this movement a
purpose to vote for Hughes, the Re-
publican candidate for the presidency,
in order to defeat Woodrow Wilson,
the great leader Of Democracy.
There is danger ahead. There is no
use to disguise the fact. Democrats
must not go to sleep and fail to vote
in the general election, thinking
themselves free from the possibility
of a bolt.
Whether the factional convention
called to meet in Columbia next week
puts out q. ticket or not, there are
going to be boilers. A quiet, in
sidious movement a bring out a
large vote without regular Demo-
Gratis being conscious Of it.
Is there a danger Of a bolt? It's
not a mere possibility. It's a fact.
An extract from The Scimitar, a
Blease paper published at Abbeville,
proves that a bolt is already a
reality.
1t will be noticed from the forego-
Ing article or utterance taken from
The Scimitar hat the name of Blease
is substituted for that of Gov. Man
ming. the regular nominee, and that
the rest of the ticket is composed of
the regular nominees for their re-
spective Offices.
In the same paper it is stated that
State, tickets will be printed for the
regular election with the names
above, and these will be scattered
over the State.
The nomination Of Gov. Manning
was made in a fair, square and honest
election, and those who will not ac-
cept him as the party nominee are
violating the oath they took at the
polls to support the result of the pri-
mary.
An Independent movement can no
succeed, but 1t can place the State in
the position of trying to break faith
with itself in Its elections, and If a
bolt develops any strength South
Carolina will suffer from it.
Dur people must stand together. A
bolt means an appeal to the negro,
1t is always the case.
1t seems to us that in the shape
things are. with a pronounced degree
of suspicion existing in the minds OF
the people. now is an excellent oppor.
t ssrnt 10 make
their positions cleaf
Do they endorse this movement?
Are they in sympathy with it in
any shape. form or fashion?
This is a time when speech. not
silence, Is golden. Let the Blease peo-
pie speak out and denounce this
movement to defeat the Democratic
nominee for governor.
What do o say, gentlemen?

Washington, Oct. 26.-At both the
