Senatorial Candidates. The ilrt sp-akers Saturday morning were the senatorial candidates. and M. )l e. L. Blease vwas the nrst tpeaker. Tie thanked the county ciairnian for being instrumemal in haviing made the campaign as pleas ant as it had b-en. An incompetent ofncer had never yet been born. said Mr. Blease. The people made incom petent oficers. Therefore it behooved zhe people to consider carefully the merits of all the candidates and to elect the best men. The speaker iavored b:ennial ses ZOP1 an(d amendiiig the labor con tract law so that the farmers could -ontrol "free nigger" labor. He fav ored better common schools, good road, and was unqualifiedly opposed to con1ulsorv education. He was opposed to white people's money be ing taken to educate "free niggers." As to the dispensary question, the dispensary would be shut up when the people quit patronizing it. Some thing like this had struck him: "A little rye. corn and gin. Is loved by all men. And drank by most of them.'' The speaker then took up a dis cussion of the Brice bill. He opposed the bill. If the people wanted pro hibition. the way to get it was to let the first half hour of the morning in the schools be devoted to the study of the Bible. Let the children be bro'nght t:p prohibitionmistS, and then th people wo:uld have prohibition, but mtorais e..uld never he legislated into -nen. Prohibition could not be enforced. The speaker favored tem perance in all things. The dispensary law was the best s' lution of the wvhis key qluestio:n. Mlr. Blease then took up the ques tion of taxation. calling attention to the deniciency in the state treasury created by the last legislature having appropriated! more than the income andl to mistakes in bills by which the state wtas this year deprived of St68, ooo which it was intended she should receive this year. WVhat was becom ing of the money? The county levy was a half mill higher this year. If elected. he would vote to cut down appropriations to state colleges. to cut down the expenses of the gov ernment. he would vote against creat ing new offices. By the time Mr. Blease finished his address the court house was filled. with an att entive audience, numbering more than three hundred voters. Mr. Arthur Kib1er. !irst took up a discussion of the liquor que .... r years ago he asked the excutive committee to place boxes at all the precincts to get an expres-ion ionm thle people on the liquor question. The dlispensary wVon hr .2 t. and the Newberry dlelega tion had pleded themselves to adide the decision of the people. and had done so. And now he believed the peo were of the same opinion, and if elect ed he would abide their decision and until the verdict of four y-ears ago was changed he would feel it his duity to vote for the ditspensary. But if a general camp)aign against liquor should come, everybody,.would know wvhere he stoodl. The speaker took up and explained the Brice bill. He didn't see how any reasonable man.

Then Mr. Kihler tackled Mr. Blease on his p isitioni on thle edchtation of the negro with white peophle's money. saying 'Mr. blease had promised the people of Pomaria that he would change the ateenth amendment of the constitutton of the United States it ected to the state senate. This statenent tr. lease denied. sayinig he had promised to (10 that when he got to conigress. The little tilts between Mfr. Blease and M\r. Kibler provoked some laugh ter and some applause for each of the candidates, and injected life into he meeting. The Legislative Candidates. The legislative candidates were then introduced and began their speeches to an audience ovhich crowd ed the court house. Mr. WV. H. Sanders. who would have been the first speaker. was not present on account of illness. MIr. John 31. Taylor was the first speaker. lie said he felt protid that the last legislature had vindlicated his udgment on the question of child abior and good roads. He claimed to be the first man who had advocat ed taxation for road building. HeI op poised such an enormous amount be ing spent upon the state colleges to the neglect of the country schools. \any a good y-oung man had been ruined by being rocked in the cradle of the state and fed from the public rib. Mr. Taylor then took tip a dis cnssion of the liquor qtuestion and spoke of the horror which alwvays followed in the wake of the use of whiskey. He believed the reason the rice bill was introdticed was that Mr. Price saw in the legislative halls the corruption of the dispensary, what effect it was having-men rep resenting the people being led tip to the hotel register and their names regitered and their hills paid-and by this having their hands tied when questions came up. Mr. Price intro dutcedi his hill in order that these rep resentativ es with their hands tied might free themselves. He would rather have blind tigers than tigers with their eyes open. As for him ~-elf he didn't touch whiskey. He opp" sedl compl)lsory education. If eected lie would cast every ballot for economy. The state was tip heavy in the matter oft appropriations5. Col. E. HI. .\ull wxas next intro duced. lie did not believe the main c insideration in select ig a represen tat ive sh'uld he that he agreedl with certain people on certain questions. There were 16o other men in the leg islature who had viewvs. Put the peo pe wanted a man of intelligence and character and breachh of view. The candidates were practically agreed on the varioas q[uetionls and it was to be a vote on men rather than mneas \s to biennial sessiins. he did not believe there would be that saving (rontinned on Sixth Page.)
