We i have not heard the views of Gover- J b- nor Manning and Solicitor Cooper r- on the subject. Ex-Governor Bleasj re | seems to be opposed to the plan, but n-| his statement with regard to the matter shows that, if adopted, the li plan will not hurt his chances of e-; election, nor interfere with his right in to address the people of the state, os .He says in effect that he can draw a le crowd any were he chooses to ^ d. j speak, and that his tongue cannot e-1 tie bridled. 1 v-1 An neither can the tongues of any i te other candidate be bridled. That 4 to | is just what we have been contenda ing?that abolishing the county to r-1 county campaign in no way intere teres with the right and opportunity 1 id ' of any candidate for an ollice, where ic public speaking is the order of tlie st day, to appear before the people uud discuss issues. We contend that it i- gives to a candidate a better opporin tunity for ttiis purpose, a real chance in to discuss ISSUES, and that it elitui&f | nates the charges and couuterii-| charges of former campaigns. Govto j ernor Blease lias contributed the r-1 best argument for abolisliing the to | campaign as conducted in former i", years which can be advanced. *' | Some of tlie candidates may not r,> be so fortunate as Mr. Blouse in hav'r ing an audience wherever they de'' sire to address the people, but that will be because they are not seriousis j ly considered in the running. Oi^r s* experience is that people like to hear to a good campaign speech, and that a man who is seriously considered hi the race ior an important office ,l"|like that of Governor, can always 111 I obtain a hearing. And with the means of getting over the country, "* which we now have, a man may address several audiences in a day. He can practically cover a county in a day and address all the voters ' in il. that is. H the people care to ' lieai liiin; ami if they do not, he had ' v as well be at home following a more remunerative occupation. Some of thost who have expressit . , cd opinions in the matter seem to id think that it would be unjust to Governor Manning to abolish the is I campaign at this time, that it would lie taken as an evidence that he eanj not meet his antagonists on the stump. Nothing, we believe, is further from the truth Governor Manning has already shown his ability as a campaigner, and nobody doubts his ability and willingness to meet 1S any of his opponents on the stump. Bt It will hurt neither Governor Manning nor Ex-Governor Itlease. be^ j eause both of them are well known. ( Solicitor Cooper will be the looser, if the county to county campaign ?s abolished, because he is the ablest SO campaign speaker of the three and I will make more friends in an audience than both of the others, but its we are willing to risk Mr. Cooper's chances on the new plan He will is he able to see the people and to let them set and hear him Alter all the plan, if adopted, n should be adopted for the good of the people oi the state. We advojs rate it been it si we believe it will brine about a more intelligent disci.ssion of tin- issues of the day, and that it will promote a better feeling among the people of the state. We .j. should not consider candidates in .( the matter. There are numbers of men in the state qualified to till tlio in other of Governor. The convention will not assemble for the purpose of legislating for any one of them and it should not do so. -Abbeville Press and Banner. m n?l NOTICE OF MSCIIARGE. IP.
