!" /ff . -
As the paramount ISHIM- in tim com
ing State campaign may be the pro
poned changes in the primary system
of elections, Governor DleaHe's posi
tion, as stated in his message to the
legislature, is or Interest. Follow
ing are his observations:
The Primary System.
Many years ago some of the coun
ties of South Csrolina adopted a
system of primary elections, which
system provided for the selection of
candidates among the white people
for the Democratic nominees, for the
purpose of avoiding a division among
the white people in order to keep the
negro vote from becoming a factor in
the politics of this State. Many
years before that the eight-box law
had been in use, and it had been suc
cessful in depriving the negro of
-participation even in the general elec
tions, except to a limited number.
To go through tho entire history of
this matter might be very Interesting
to those who know nothing or little of
lt, and yet It' might somewhat reveal
si condition of affairs which it might
be aa well to let be forgotten. Later
the State Democracy adopted this
primary election -system for the pur
pose of nominating candidates for all
State and county offices. Just a short
time afterwards the Democracy of
(State adopted it for the selection of
candidates for Congress and the Uni
ted States oi-iinir.
The last convention for the nomi
nation of a Governor and State offi
cials was when Governor John Peter
Richardson was nominated for his
secoad term. Then came the struggle
of the Reform party In 1890. The
history of this and campaigns from
then up to the present would b? very
interesting reading, but I pres?me It
ls unnecessary to give it here. How
ever, lt seems that this system was
perfectly satisfactory when Governors.
Tillman, Evans, Ellerbe And Mc
sweeney were elected, and it reached
lia height in the eyes of many people
-especially certain newspaper editors
-who are now condemning it, and
save moBt splendid satisfaction to
these distinguished gentlemen, when
Governor Heyward and Ansel woro
* elected.
Nothing wea heard of its being un
satisfactory to thia areal eleme it af
our pcop?ei"1 when ' Geo. Joseph II.
Earle was elected to the United
States, Senate, and when many COn
K, ?recamen and many State officials
?were choBeri. J "
But, alas, the campaign ** 1912
came nn.
When that campaign came along
the then Governor of South Carolina,
on the 8th day of July. 1912, Issued a
proclamation which read as *o?
(Thfs proclamation offered a re
word of $100 for tho drat five convic
tions of violation Of Mic State law
making it a misdemeanor to secure
votes by . threats, Intimidation; or
payment, delivery or promise of
money or other articles et Value.")
Attd In hin opening speech at Sum
ter, he sa td:
"After reading tho sections of thc
statute in regard to fraud In olcb
ttons, Governor Jilease Bald:
"And I call upon ul' of my friends
to see that any person who attempts
to buy votos In this primary, or who
Intimidates- votera by threats of
otherwlee, bo^Jmrnodlately prosecuted,
and ir rou n?e?l f^py assistance In the
?rosecution or tho case, 1 promise
>u, aa Governor of tni* State, to
tish iU because 1 believe hi fair,
dare election, and, propose So tay
,.n, in CS? f;?vu-r, io see that it is held
for nil the offices of our Stato. You,
my -rellcw citizens, vv??eh these two
things; we .sow h?vc .a! majority: we
have tho "nattle won, and all that we
have got to do ls to Bee that we get ?
fair and honest showing. I cannot
do lt all; can only do rn; part; lt is
up to you lo do yours. If tho people
are defeated, and tho corporations
and newspapers and the old ring take
charge of thia governmcnt. the people
will be the sufferers. The rault will
not be -lino. Let the cons?quences
be what *h6y may, the people ot my'
State will be forced to roy Cole L.?
Rioaso did his part."
But when this primary election
was held In August, 1012, great
charges of fraud were 'brought, and
'these "holler than thou" lords of j
T>omocr?cy. the'editora and some oth
ers- all "gr?at guardians" of South!
Carolina's primaries, who were de
feated and whipped out ot their boots,
with all their money and chicanery
and trickery, all at once discovered
\?Mt the primary was reeking with
fraud and ? ?kt ? corrupt system and
was horrible to ?entern pl ate. Yet it
wee the same prlniary . system mat
had nominated their Hey ward and
their Ansel-the same men partici
pated in tt-and' the same primary
system which had sent ffenater Earle
to Wnahlngteat Ini ..Senator Smith
to Washington against former GdVcC
nor r.vrcnr..
Why did it toc?me so thoroughly
corrupt all at once. aro. muh on Ini
quitous system? Was it simply bc
caure 'Bleibe had whipped the "aris
?>*raev" . .> who thought that
they owned the governtneftt, Or was lt

lng got up by? Why did Blease's op
ponent need Blieb a enormous cam-]
puign fund? Wes lt to pay his cam
paign expenses around over South|
Carolina? Was lt to pay his son's ex
penses in traveling with him and car
rying hlB books? Was lt to pay the
legitimate expenses of his campaign
manager? What was it for? Who
was to use lt, and for what purpose?
Why did the railroads make large
contributions to Blouse's opponents
campaign fund? Why did certain
cotton mill presidents make such
large contributions lo llleasc's op
ponents's campaign fun ,? Had any
candidate In South Carolina ever be
fore needed a campaign fund such as
was raised against Blease? Did Till
man use lt, or Evans, Ellerbe, Mc-1
Sweeney, Heyward, Ansel or Blease?
Did General Earle use lt? Then!
why this powerful compalgn contri
bution for the primary of 1912? It|
that primary was corrupt, who cor
rupted it? If men voted in it who
were not entitled to vote, who hauled
them from North Carolina und from
Georgia and paid their expenses?
It ls plain to any thinking man, and
it will be admitted by any honest
man, that these large sums of money
raised by contribution and handled
at a central bureau in Columbia and
by parties in other parts of the State,
are what corrupted it, if it was cor
rupt, and only by the true manhood
of the honest citizenship of South
Carolina rising in its might and re
fusing tc be bought ami debauched i
by this crowd, was South C?rollnaj
saved from a corrupt government
bought at the ballot hos.
Now, who ls jwajMynalble for this
great cry of fnwPtti the primaries?
The Governor jytbllcly stated on the
State House steW,' the night after the
election, that tbe other side had sto
len more votea and put th**n in the
the ballot box than they knew what
to do with. If'.liis statement was a
Blander, why'>WaBn't he prosecuted?
Iff hin statement was a slander, why
waa it that the committee of the State
Executive Committee, a large major
ity of whom were composed of his
bitterest opponents, after they had
gone to Spartantburg and to Greenville
and to Anderson and, tn Orangeburg,
disbanded* gave up their investiga
tion, and sneaked off quietly and went,
into their little; notas?
These charges-OT "fraud and c'orrun- "
tton are absolutely unworthy but in
Une with the sourco from which they
come rrhe man who introduced the
resolution in the State Executive
Committee charging the white people
of this State with fraud corrup
tion in that election, pulled then the j
rope which rang the bell sounding his]
death knell throughout the Democrat-'
le party of this State. The partisan |
majority of tue committee which took]
li ti"? f.Tii that it will take lh?ui I
years of bard, hone BI struggle to re
deem themselves in the eyes ot the
people of this State. Today tho peo
ple are alive to: the fact that these
charges of fraud and-perjury and cor
ruption have beeb made against them,
tho whft-; people cf South Carolina,
and when the time comes, if men with
the moral courage and the political
backbone get upon the rostrum in this
State and expose tho nefariousness of
those who mode and who took up
these charges, every one of thom will
be wi pod from the face of the politi
cal arena, and these who stood with
the majority in that election will
again stand with thc majority, ' for
fair dealing and for honesty.
No, it is not tho system that needs
I inproving; it is not the law that
needs amending-we have law enough
-but it ls the enforcement of tbe law
that we need prosecute ;ne men-who
handed put money and-.whiskey, or
who In the future hand out money
and whiskey.- P*o?ccuto tho men who
try to buy voters. Prosecute the peo
ple who hire men to travel through
out thc State, under the- guise of book
agents, newspaper reporters and
subscription list hunters, and under
other guises, and Instead ot following
thc vocations which they claim to
follow, go. around trying to buy vot
ers, trying to debauch tho clticenship
of the f?late, and '.cling (he most wil
ful and malici?os ?le?-upon the then
Governor of their Commonwealth
Such men and their accessories are
the man who attempted to corrupt
the primary, and it was only by
Blease exposing their schemes from
the public stump that they were
whipped-by his showing np that they
bad caused a shortage In the ballots,
that they had spent money and done
everything that could ho possibly
Chne, to defeat a man-ind then, when
they were whipped, all they could
holler was frmid. winn every man
In South Carolina Who ls hohen and
decent; knows jhcro.was more fraud
abd corruption' ?sod by them agatHst
the man who ^w?lpepd them than
contd possibly have been used for him.
Prosecute tho .men who vio.ate ths
election laws, prosecute the men who
try; to bribe voters, prosecute the mea
who commit perjury at the ballot toT.
and you have got raw enough, yob
bhve got all the law you need: and
Chm howl, gentlemen, is hypocrisy et
tbe meanest, 19j,est type: it is tba
hollering of "stop, thief", when th?
thief 's doing the hollering-un.1 **sn
know li. and they tnow lt. This cla
mor that the newspapers are* makins
is a slahder upp'a the white people
uf iii!? State, ?nu is bringing unjust
and unwarranted criticism upon the
people of South Carolina oy the peo
ple of other States.
Of course we want to prosecute the 1
bribe-giver and thc bribe-taker. And
why aur-h large contributions for
Blesses opponent'? campaign, once
again. I ask. If people think these
ron tr I but ion? were not asked for or?
not given, na inc, can be given. . j
Now, who had the control of the
State Democratic Convention? The
men opposed to Governor Blease.
Who had control of nearly every
County Executive Comimttce in the
State? Who. had the absolute control,
by a large majority, of the State Ex
ecutive Committee? Who appointed
tho manager? of election throughout
the Kt ate? When Governor Blease
wrote to thc Chairman of the State
Democratic Executive Committee and
asked to have one manager at each
precinct, his request was declined.
When similar requests were made of
the Chairmen cf the County Exccu
tlme Committees, il waa declined his
friends. The County Executive Com
mittee, nearly all of which were anti
Bknee, appointed anti-Blease mana*
gcrs ali over the counties, and these
anti-Blease managers were in the
large majority all over the State-a
majority of two-thirds or more were
anti-admlnistratlnr men The ballots
were put in the Loxes which the antl
adminlstratinn men had control of,
the anti-administration men took
them off to one side and counted
them and announced so many for
.Tones and so many for Blease. The
returns were sent to the County
Execu?'ve Committees, and the Coun
ty Executive Committees, composed
almost overwhelmingly of anti
Blease men, tabulated them and sent
them to the State Comimttce, and the
State Committee met and tabulated
them anti announced the result. Now,
how in the name of common sense,
with all the election machinery anti
Blease-hora' in the name of common
sense, I repeat, could the Blease
men have committed fraud? There
fore, if there was fraud, as these edi
tors and other are now loudly pro
claiming there was, who committed
lt? The answer is plain-the anti
Bleaee men, because they had all the
machinery In their hands. They say
there was fraud. Now, I say, letthut
be as lt may, if there was fraud who
committed lt, when they had the
managers, the county committees and
the State Commi'tee?
No. gentlemen, il is but the cry of
the defeated. Instead of being -brave,
true Carolinians, and saying. "We
have made our light and lost." they,
like the cowardB they are, crlage up
on their knees and holler fraud, for
getting that they were the ones who
were in charge of the election ma
chinery, and that if there was fraud
they aud their friends were the ones
who committed IL
Now, gentlemen, what wc want is
honest elections. Th% speak of us
ing money. God knows tho present
Governor bas never bad any to use.
He practiced law at the Newberry
bar, and, be is proud to say, had an
exceptionally fine practice on both
sides of the court. He made a good
living, and managed to save some
money; But not one nickle of it. bas
he ever used to corrupt a voter; not
one dollar of it has he ever used or
has .any of his friends ever done so,
to hie knowledge, and certainly lt,
tL?v have ever done so, "hey did not
consult him before, nor have they
informed him afterwards.
What we need is-io enforce ino
laws Wc have strictly to the idler.
Let every white man in Sooth Carp
Una, of legal age. vote In the prima
ges, and if one cosita ive m another
State Into this State and votes, or
goes from one county Into another
and votes ilegally. let the men whom
ho votes for, as well as tho men whom
he votes agaiast see to it that he is
prosecuted to the full extent of the
law. If one roan offers to buy thc
vote of another, let thc latter prose
cute to the tull extent of tho law
the mah who offers the bribe, and If
tho man takes tho bribe, pro.-cou te
him. Enforco tho laws wo have. Let
honesty and square dealing begin
with tho State Executive Committee,
and let it be followed by thc county
committees and kept up by the man
agers ot election. We have all thc
law Wo need; we have all thc honor
wo heed In South Carolina to enforce
thai law. And it comes with ?ll
grace from that cr. .1 Which had con
trol of all the election machinery, to
charge fraud, when they and their
feiend? were the only ones who - ould
have committed au" fraud.
1 am opposed to -my change In thc
primary system, i believe In honest
elections, and I 1 iove In letting ev
ery white man p i tlclphte In the pri
mary who is c Jblo to voto under
th? rules ot t* . Democratic party.
Whenever wo ??-prive the white peo
ple of the rit to vote, or any large
number of 1 n of their right to
vote, we wi! >reak up. tho primary
system, beer . .o those who are quali
fied want t . right to voto, and they
should har it, and they do ^ot pro
pose to br put, by any party of men,
on an eq" J footing with a. free ne
gro.

HIS RECOMMENDATIONS
I beg to reiterate the following
recommendations contained in my
annual message to you In 1913, in
which message you will find my views
fully expressed, with my reasons
thereof:
That you change thc name of Clem
son College to Calhoun University.
That you abolish the Hoard of Par
dons, or pay a sufficient salary for the
work to bc done.
That you take some action in re
gard to the cotton mill mergers in
this State, and the Carolina Public
Ebrvlce Corporation, and generally in
regard to truste and combinations.
That you take action to prohibit
any town, city or county, or the State,
from giving any exclusive rights,
privileges or franchises to any cor
poration or individual.
That you require all corporations
In this State using the water power
of the State to pay a tax or license
therefor.
That you pass an Act reducing the
legal rate or interest in this State to
six per cent. Figures recently com
piled by the Agricultural Depart
ment of the Government show the
enormous amount or Interest which
the South is paying, in comparison
with the rate .In the East and North,
steadily draining the pockets or our
people, and particularly the'farmers.
This is a.'matter, gentlemen, of vital
importance, and it demanda your at
tention. Securities in South Caro
lina-particularly farm lands-are
as good as can be had in the world,
and lt is. simply, oppression-no tiling
short of it-which takes from the
pockets of our people an average in
terest nf - mar* th"?* *!*ht per -cent:,
when other States are laying, some
of them, between flv? ?gtf als.
That you prohibit lanka from
charging customers exchange on
drafts or checks.
That you prohibit express com
panies from charging for returning
money collected on C. O. D. pack
ages
That you pass a flat two-cent pas
senger rate on all railroads in this
State.
That you take, some action in re
gard to the concealed weapon law.
That you make lt a misdemeanor
tor' any newspaper editor, reporter or
?corespondent to promulgate. ' make
r publish. .raise reports of the speech
of any person who is a,candidate for
soy county, State or National office,
and that you pass an act to the ef

fviouu inm IE laiurious, mat wusii
that person,;seada io the paper a cor

That you investigate our institu

That you look Into thc matter Of

That you investigate Into thc mat

such manner a? tb sec the lowe pr;c
