A RED HOT POLITICAL SPEECH
South Carolina's Governor In a Set
Speech ReiteTates His Views
on Lynching.
Anderson, Nov. 13.?In a public
address Saturday Governor Cole L.
Blease flayed the ministers of Anderson,
who recently adopted a resolution
condemning his views on
lynching. The resolution was adopted
after the Honea Path lynching.
The Governor stated that he was
requested iby the solicitor to send
troops that night to protect the negro,
but that he would have resign-J

Path and lead the mob.
He stated that the State Farmers'
Union had requested him to issue a
proclamation urging the farmers to
hold their cotton and to a!;k the
Governors of all tthe cotton states
to issue similar proclamations*, but
he had refused to do so, exclaiming
that he is no farmer and does not
profess to know what the farmers
should do under the circumstances
He believes that the solution of lowpriced
cotton is with the fanners
and he urges the farmers to organize
and demand their prices like the doctors,
the lawyers, etc. He thinks the
cotton-mill mergers are responsible
for the low price of cotton and prophesies
that the mergers will begin
pulling down the wages of the mill
employees as soon as they get the
price of cotton down.
He urged the men to secure registration
certificates, stating that the
newspapers were attempting to disfranchise
a big portion of the voters
by securing legislation requiring registration
certificates to ?ote in the
primaries. He says he will veto any
bill of the Legislature making any
such requirement, but he expects the
Democratic convention next May to
adopt a resolution requiring the certificates.
Governor Blease defended his pardon
and parole record and reiterated
much of the speeches made elsewhere
in the State at different times.
