BLEAsE ANNOUNCES FOR 1918.
Says VIII Make Race for Governor
on Reform Platform.

Columbia, Jan. 13.--Former Gov
ernor Cole l.. Blease will again lead
the reform" party In the campaign
Of 1918 as a candidate for Governor.
After thorough consideration Of
the resolution adopted by the central
committee OF the party, urging him
to take the field, he has consented,
and he 50 states:
81 have discussed the proposition
to-day" said Mr.. Blease when asked
about the matter, with prominent
members Of our party from different
parts Of the State, and as result
of the dispatch in the papers this
morning I have received messages
from a large number of other mem
bers Of our party, who have through
that source learned Of the action
taken by the central committee.
While do not feel that I would care,
individually, to bear the burden OF
another State campaign, and while
feel that we have others that should
be put forward as leaders, have
come to the conclusion that 1t is my
duty to obey the dictates Of the COM
bined Judgment OF my party, and In
accordance Herewith | hereby an
nounce that will be candidate for
Governor, on the reform platform, in
the campaign Of 1918.
'The committee that met here was
empowered and instructed to make
such action as 1t believed to be for
the best interests Of the party, and
the members OF that committee have
assured me, not only by their reso-
luton, but personally, that they had
determined for the best interests OF
the party that l make the race for
Governor.
This states my position, when
taken in connection with the plat
form which have announced in pre-
vious races. I hope that the CAM
paign will be free Of bitterness and
that 1t will be conducted on such a
plane that It will have tendency to
promote the best interests of dlr the
people Of our State"

tutes Prohibition Victory.

In the most sweeping Of all deciS-
ions upholding prohibition laws, the
United States Supreme Court has up
held as constitutional and valid the
WebbKenyon law, prohibiting ship
ments Of liquor from "wet" to "dry"
ginia's recent amendment to her law
prohibiting importation in interstate
commerce Of liquor for personal USE
After having been vetoed by Presi-
dent Taft, who held it unconstitu-
tional, and having been repassed by
Congress over his veto, the law was
sustained by the Supreme Court by
vote Of to Q. Leaders of the pro-
hibitiOn movement declare it is to
their fight second only in Importance
to the proposed constitutional
amendment
Lawyers for liquor interests who
heard the decision admitted 1t upheld
and applied the law ain its fullest
sense"
Chief Justice White announced the
majority opinion, to which Justices
Holmes and Vandevanter dissented.
Justice Reynolds, while agreeing
with the majority decision, did not
concur in the opinion.
"The all-reaching power Of govern
ment over liquor is settled" said the
Chief Justice. "There was no inten-
tion of Congress to forbid individual
use of liquor. The purpose of this
act was to cut out by the roots the
practice Of permitting violation OF
State liquor laws.
