2 CALL TO ALL DEMOCRATS BLKASF ASKS ALL TO REGISTER Governor Says He Will Fire Any Registration Hoards Refusing to Register White Men. Columbia Special to Charleston News and Courier, June 14.?A call to all Democratic voters to get registration certificates and thus qualify themselves to vote in any general election is contained in an address to the people issued today by Gov. Cole L. Blease. The governor says that he has information that an attempt to have Congress pass restrictions to the effect thut only those qualified to vote in a general election can participate in any preferential primary for United States senator and congressmen will be made since the ratification of the 17th amendment to the federal constitution providing for election of senators by direct cote of the people. He says that he does not believe either the legislature or the hext state convention will put any restriction on the primary, but that Congress will be asked to. He urges every white man to provide himself with a registration certificate and says that if any board of registration turns down a white applicant he will fire them and appoint a hoard which will give every white j man a certificate. His address follows: APPEAL TO WHITE VOTERS. "To the Democratic Voters of South Carolina: "I desire to call your attention to the fact that the amendment to the constitution of the United States providing for the direct election of j United States senators by the people i has been ratified by a sufficient number of states to put the amendment into effect, and that this ratification by a sufficient number of states has been announced by Hon. William J. Bryan, secretary of state of the United States. "Although South Carolina has not ratified this amendment, yet under the constitution of the United States I suppose she will be bound by it. "It is now rumored that certain South Carolinians?some native born and some by adoption without the state's consent?I reeret thev - O ?r I are South Carolinians?are endeavoring to have Congress place a provision in a law to be passed under the new amendment to the effect that in those states in which a primary is held by a party for its candidate, no person shall be allowed to vote in said primary except he be qualified to vote in the general election. This effort is being made in an underhanded manner. I now give you notice that it is being made, in order that you may go to your supervisors of registration and get your registration certificates and be fully prepared to protect yourselves when the time comes. The books of the supervisors of registration should be open 011 the first Monday of each month at your county seats, and your supervisors of registration should make proper arrangements to see that every man who is entitled to be registered is registered. The respective executive committees of each Democratic club should see that every member of every club has his name upon the registration books. No white man in the state should wait for somebody else to attend to it for him, but should get his certificate himself and be ready for the fray whey it comes. "I do not believe that your legislature is going to plaee any such restrictions upon your state primary, nor do I believe that your state convention will place any such restrictions around your state primary, but we can not tell what effect these underground, stab-in-the-baek, cheap politicians may bring about in Wiishington, in ordt r to deprive a certain element of thn whito of the South and of our state of par- 1 ticipating in the primary, particularly in South Carolina, because 1 they have heretofore been defeated ' or now see defeat staring them in 1 the face. 1 "I feel that it is proper that warn- ' ing should be given you. and that 1 it is iny duty as your governor to 1 give it, and I now do so. I can only 1 give the warning, as I feel it is my : duty to do If you fail to heed it and find yourself deprived of the right of suffrage, you will have no one to blame but yourselves, do to 1 the supervisors ol registration. If .they fall to register you, report them * to nte. If there is any hoard of registration in the state which refuses 1 to register the white voters 1 will ' relieve them from duty and put in a hoard that will "1 have sounded the warning. ? That is all I can do. i beg you to t heed it. t "Very respectfully, < "COLIC L.
