'FACTIONALISM" IS NOT HIS CUE - / Mr. Manning Say? That Oppo nents Started lt-Gives the Lie To Elimination Charges Special to T-:?e Intelllgencer Greenville. August 20.-Jr h's cam paign speech here today referring to the Issues discut'ied hy some of the candidates, Richard I. Manning said: "What ls the use of talking matters till the main question ls settled? Thc race for governor ic tho most import ant une in the stuto, the senatorial race ls Important, but the governor's race is more so, because the imme diate future of the state depends on whether wo are to continue the poli cies of the present administration with ito lawlessness, or whether we are going to wipe 4out the condition . which is a disgrace to the state. "I am opposed to factionalism. 1 want harmony and peace restored. It has been charged by my opponents on both sides that I have injected fac tionalism into this campaign. I did. not cauro it. I announced early In 1913 that I would be a candidate this Bummer. I sa'.d tot one word about factionalism. "Fastionalism was started at the famous Hotel Jefferson dinner of the governor and his friends In November luci when the candidacy ol . Mr. C. fl. Simms wnB announced, he to run as a partisan of the governor. McLaurln further lined up the irsuo between Meuse and antl-Blease and both Mr. Irby and Mr. Richards an nounced before the campaign began that they were followers and . apport era of tho governor. "Under there circustanc.es lt was only fair and manly that I should let the voters of the state know where ? stood. I did so In no uncertain notes, and as I regarded the policies of the governor as injurious to the state, and that the question of whether these policies were to continue or hot war the biggest political Issue of the state. "I took this position without count ing what votes I might gain or lose, and I repeat now that the Issue of the campaign is whether tba policies* of Governor Blease arc to bc continued in South Curoli II a or whether we are to wipe out this disgrace from the state. I object to the word 'Blease lsm,' but is has come to be synony mous with disregard of law and order, with abuse of the pardoning power, and with lawlessness generally. "It means that thc idea prevails among tho lawlers that they can dis regard the law, that race track gam bling can flourish, that blind tigers can exist and that even if a man is killed the slayer's punishment will be dight and a pardon can be obtained for him if he is a friend of the gov ernor. ' "There has lr?** much talk about the elimination u< . -iti-Blease candi dates and centralising on one or more of them. 1 want tb gay emphatically that I had nothing whatever to do with the calling of any conference or convenlon, nor waa I consulted as to the calling. 'I . "When I was invited to attend a conference, I replied' tlSat J was will ing to make any sacrifico for the good af the state and would do' anything that war fair. It seems that the oth ers did not respond, ?nd I did not at tend the conference, and eb far as 1 was concerned the matter ended. "If other men from all over the state ore urging my candidacy, that is my good fortune and I am proud of having BO many friends, but that 1 was instrumental in calling the con ference is falso. I believe that In the coming elections these questions will ail bo settled by* the people In a way that will mean the future good of the state, and I call upon all voters to lay aside factional differences', personal preferences and centlmont, and voto ? for that man who will, restore respect for law an? order, who will gi va a clean business administration to the state affairs and who will unite our people once more tn .the work of up building the state. "If elected, 1 will b3 tho governor of all the - people and will know no past political dlffc. onces and all, whether high. or.low, rich or poor, every man will receive juKlco ana fair consideration at my bands.".
