Jennings or I \V. D. Pollock was on tho stage made' the accusation that these had beeu hired to enter thc campaign to help Senator Smith. I Like * a flash Mr. Jennings' leaped to his feet and denounced the governor BB a "liar," tho governor hitching his thumbs beneath his suspenders and walked away, while tho crowd threw their hats into thc air, and became frantic in their yells for Jennings. | The governor read a letter purport ing to have been written by ono anti-? Bleaoe man to another "supposed" tu be in the same cuiup but who was a1 Blcaseite, so tho governor said. In this the writer urged that Richard 1. Manning was thc logical candidate on whom the anti-Bloaso forces should unite. It was argued that Mr. Man ning ls the leading candidate, aa' in-, dlcated from the daily attacks made upon him. * '"The question was asked, "Did you evor hear of a working man hoing at tacked?" At this juncture the ' gov-, ernor made the caustic comment, "I, gu?sc that is -why they put Smith uv the" race, und hired two mon to hjip him." The words had hardly b,>en spoken before Mr. Jennings was at the speak er's side, and answered, "Governor, any man who : ava I was hired to help ' Smith ls a-dirty, contemptible liar." i Twice In the 8:itnc Place. Walting a minute j Mr. Jennings! again rcpeaed tho denunciation. The governor had his body guara on the stand with him, and .members 1 of the f.tate detective force.

"Isn't lt funny how big a cock can' crow on li le. own dunghill," the govei-' nor finally-asked wheh order had boen restored. j Senator Smith alco called tho gov-' ernor down for hts bold insinuations.1 This was when tho governor stated that his detectives bad discovered that money was going out from 'n certain office" In Columbia In Senator Smith's interest-.'. "Some bad already J gone," Blouse said,-"and more had to go Saturday." He had heard that one man ..yesterday "had been premired S 1.000 which they would novar get and' If the man sending lt' out isn't 'careful ho won't hold office long," the govor-. nor assertod.

At this juncture Senator Smith ad vanced to tho governor's, eldo and challenged that he furnish the names: of the men sending and receiving, the money and be would prosecute them1 himself. "Not one penny has been or ? will be used illegitimately," tho sena-, tor declared. I . Tho governor replied, "If Senator i Smith keops his'word,.!tl make him proser '.ito next Wednesday morning a man supposed to be one of the beat friends Smith ever bad." > Other features of the meeting ?were . the bitter denunciation of tho gover nor's record by h, D.
