And elsewhere, this shrewd politicitn, whose chief pride is that lie is a sherewd politician studies his crowd, and makes them re member him. His speeqhes vary more than any of the others. In the low country he attacked Manning. In the uip-country he will attack Ansel. It is -did to be a soie point with Blease, who is the only former Till manife in the bunch, that Ben Till man is supporting Manning. This is why Blease so dramatically pictures Manning, and along with him Sloan. as two) opponents of the dispensary having a dream in which they saw a star marked ''Way to the Governor's Mansion.'' And on the spot, says Blease, always throwing back his head and holding ill) a drinking glass to his lips, they cry ''From now on I consecrate My all to thee. 0 Ben Tillman's State dispensaree. Blease says lie is the only original dispensary man in the race, the only Driginal ''reformer,'' arid he stands now where he did in 1890. He tells them, if they do not vote for him the )nly logical man for them to vote for is -Joel E. Brunson, prohibitionist. 'hiese other fellows are all fakes. His id Brunson's, lie says, are the only two clear-cut. straightforward plat Corms. One of Blease's stock argu nents against Ansel's county dispen -ary plan is this: ''If you can't con :rol three men in Columbia how are 6on lroing to control 120'scattered all wer the State?'' Nobody makes re d that ''Vou''-meaning the people 1o whim lie is immediately taking would have not hii-u wlatever to do with iontrolliiiz the 120 men all over le State.
