the Senate, and the Republicans A. No

LEVER DISCUSSES
RACE FOR SENATE
By P. H. MCGOWAN.

Washington, May 24.-When Con-
gresham Lever was shown the state
ment of Mr.. Blease that he would ig-
more the itinerary fixed by the Demo
cratic State committee for senatorial
candidates this summer, he said: 1T
is nothing more than I expected. 1t
is in line with his whole career. He
knows no laws save his own reckless
will and ambition. | am running for
the senate within the Democratic par
ty and in accordance with its rules
and regulations. The party has said
what my schedule of speaking dates
shall be and I shall stand by it.
"Blease's boiling of the rules and
regulations of the Democratic party
of the State will not alter my plans,
except it will deprive me of the
chance of exposing to his face his un-
Americanism, his disloyalty to the
Democratic administration, his wan
ton and malicious attacks upon Pres
ident Wilson and his reiterated lack
of sympathy for the war aims of his
government.
"Blease has always been in favor of
the county to county canvass. 1t is
significant that only after my en-
trance into the race that he suddenly
suffers a change of the heart on the
county to county campaign. His fail
ure to observe it now can be explain
ed by his fear of having to face his un
American utterances at Pomaria and
Filbert after the declaration Of war
by this government. He knows that
I shall not let him escape them and he
dares not meet me face to face be
fore the people of the State each day
in the campaign upon these issues.
''The people of South Carolina Will
not be fooled by any such political
sniping. He knows what the one is
sue in this campaign is going to be,
he dares not face it. My entrance in
this race has run him off the stump"
