It ?as generally regarded here as Mfc-'lv that uymtu/iUion shipments would reach Tampico unmolested.

TodavV. develop ments threw little light on the sub ject, though in some quarters the view wa? experte! that tho American gov ernment would endeavor tn nrevent the delivery of arms to Carranza's forces to Influence him to incline a favorable ear toward peace proposals at Niagara Falls. . It is pointed out it would bo easy for Admiral Hadger to stop any ammu nition consignments from entering Mexican ports if he were order-d to do so, but while officials havo assert ed the right to stop much shipments at American ports, they have not yet made up their minds to extend their authority to thc high seas so as to prc vent delivery.

Dean and Rapp. According to his deposition thc detective follow ed Rapp many nights from his office In West Thirty-Fourth street to varloua places where he met Mrs. Dean. In cross examinations Mrs. Schu mann-Helnk frequently expostulated with her husband's attorney. Rapp charged In a cross bill that hts wife had been too friendly with other men. She dented thc accusa tions. She said that, she never hud any love for Edward McNamara, one. time policeman, who visited her In New Jersey.

Senator John L. McL.aui in comes hack in his old time style discussing the John G. Rich ards move in a characteristic man ner. He says: The report current that I have rc tired from the gubernatorial race; thia is not true, lt probably arose from the fact that the public sees that (in part) I have accomplished what I set out lo do, restore harmon g among our people. With peace and unity be tween Governor Bleace and Senator Tillman, I feel that 1 deserve the well done, thou good - ami faithful -servant. - V^?-tr^^fnator-Tillman, called, up on mc~?o "?lo penance?'

The idea of sacrifice, however, commends it self rpriritually. and it ls a grand thing to be in thc company nf the most illustrious of ali ages.

I believed that the only way to pre vent it was openly and boldly .sup port Governor Blease; to magnify his power and add to his strengt li, so that with all the election machinery in his hands, no convention would dare place the'poor and ignorant white man on thc same harts with the negro in the general election. Thc late convention went as far as it could without disrupting the party, und I have no apologies to make. I did what I thought was right. In 1912 and since there has been a systematic effort to defeat Governor Blease by destroyig him as a man, not as a politician. Every man sup porting him was written down eith er ar. a knave or as ignorant. There was a cry about money being paid for pardons. Burns raked the State with his detectives armed with a devilish dictograph. They dangled a $15.000 fee in front of a drunk law yer's , eyes and God knows they are greedy .enough .sober. What' did they get? Not a word of proof to confirm false and slanderous charges. Such a sentiment was worked up through the press and stories circu lated by word of mouth that thousands of people today really look upon Gov. Blease as thc lowest., meanest mun who ever trod 3outb Carolina. What is the result? A versatile and shrewd politician has taken advantage of these conditions to transform him J. G.

"Of course McLaurin is swinging on tt) Blouse's coat tail in a desperate hope that he will by this be pulled through and elected governor, but as I predicted some months ago. there is iio hope for bis ever recovering the confidence uf the people of South Carolina unless he bas expiated his past misdeeds uud sins. 1 am satis fied nov that if Senator Smith bears himself like a man. th is open alliance between Blease and McLaurin will only help to bury both of them. Hud McLaurin followed my advice and ex posed Bleusisni, its utter selfishness. ; its lack of catholicity of spirit s .d I statesmanship, he would have stood j some chance of 'coming back' in the . future, for he would have atoned for Iiis betrayal of the people of the state.
