Blease has not denied that he wrote the letter wherein he bragged on one J. W. Tolbert, and in that same letter denounced Woodrow Wil son and said he was glad that Mr. Harding vas elected; this being true, do you think he voted for Mr. Cox, the Democratic nominee for presi dent? Why should he, if he wanted Mr. Harding elected? Now he is ask ing the people of South Carolina, a purely Democratic state, to elect him governor, and yet he denounced the only real leader of democracy we have had in ages (Mr. Wilson) and he gloats over the election of Mr. Hard ing against Mr. Cox for the presi dency and I have wondered if our true Democrats can reconcile this and vote for him.
