(Nows and Courier, Sont. 2) Governor Cole L. Blease, who came to Charleston yesterday to make a speech at the annual outing of Red Men at the Schuejzenplatz, gave lt as his opinion yesterday In conversation with a reporter for tho .Nows and Courier that he would re ceive a majority of tho votes in South Carolina In the first primary of tho next eletclon regardless bf who or how many ran against him. "What do you think of the reports that Chief Justice Ira B. Jones will be a candidato next year?" was ask ed Governor Blease. "In tho fli*st place," he said, "I don't think that Ira Bi Jones would give up his position as Chief Justice to run for that of Governor, lt ls the crowning ambition of every law yer to be tho Chief Justice of his State. "In tho,second place, I don't seo how he could make the race for Gov ernor consistently without giving up tho Chief Justiceship. "In the third place, If ho was to resign and make the raco, he would bo a statesman without a job, for no ono can beat me In this State. My friends will stand by mo, and no one can take, them away from me." Governor Blouse made these state ments In an 'emphatic tone, as If be meant every word he said. Ho had said earlier in the day that he was sure he could defeat any man that ran against him next year, making mention at the time of Justice Jones, Ex-Lloutenant Governor McLeod, Hon. R. I. Manning and others who have been mentioned nt Various times as likely to be candidates. From tho Governor's manner, there could bo no doubt that he was firmly convinced that he would succeed himself In 1912. He spoki of his election In most confident terms. As nu example of the friends be bad In this State, Governor Blease stated that during this past summer he had spoken to moro people than in any other ono season before. He placed the number of those to whom he had spoken at between fifty and sixty thousand. He said that from what he had observed in the crowds to which he had spoken, the senti ment seemed to be all his way. Local Notes from Bounty Land. Bounty Land.
