Mayor Grace. With much difficulty
he succeeded.
Greeted lVith Howls.
Mayor Grace was met with howls.
"Gentlemen," he said, "when the
governor of South Carolina went to

U1V V/ICJ VI ? -
dience and saw that he had a respect- J
ful hearing."
The jeers and yells of "Hurrah for
Blease!" prevented Mr. Grace from
being heard further. He said something
abcut the r'ght to free speech
being one of the cardinal principles
of liberty upon which the republic was
founded.
Mr. Grace quietly paced back and
forth upon the stage, waiting for the
uproar to cease.
"Where are the police?" cried many
in the audience, while many persons
moved forward with a plea to be allowed
to act as officers.
V Postmaster W. M. Floyd mounted
the stage and made an earnest appeal
for a respectful hearing for Mr. Grace.
His words were almost drowned in the
rrnsp hnf- in fhA lulls Tuith 'hnnrt n-n- !
raised, he ^entreated the audience to i

allow Mr. Grace to speak.
"Whether you are for Blease or j
Jones," said Mr. Floyd, "be a man |
/ and don't disgrace our city."
"I realize," said Mr. Grace, when
temporary calm had been restored,
"that I am standing tonight within
the sanctuary of American liberty. If

"We don't need you," shouted a disturber.
"We have a mayor of our!.

"Why did you come here if you did j *

"You are governed by the same anar-1 ^

man of the meeting. "When he finally'

deputies to clear the gallery of the 1
"hoodlums." j,
Somebody yelled at Mr. Jones to ^
sit down, that he was drur.k. "The
man who said that is a dirty liar," said j
Mr. Jones, and offered to fight him. A !
j i
pistol was displayed, and Mr. Jones i
folded his arms and called, "Shoot i
me, you coward."
All this time others in the audience i.
-who wanted order were denouncing
the mayor and the police with sneers.
Julius L. Carson, Ralph K. Carson and
a number of others called on the police i
to do their duty and eject the disturbers.
Solicitor J. C. Otts advanced to the
6tage and called upon those who were
willing to act as special policemen to
restore order to come and stand with
him. The^e was a quick response, one
of the first to come forward being a
grav-bearded man well up in years.
Arch B. Calvert, Dr. C. R. Gaillard,
Aug. W. Smith advanced and were
followed by perhaps 50 others.
Solicitor Otts then called upon all
those who believed in law and order
to leave the balcony and come to the
first floor. All but about 75 persons
left the balcony. Sheriff White, amid
cheers, then ascended to the balconv
and took a seat among the leaders of
the disturbance.
Mr. Grace continued.
His attempts to speak were continually
interrupted. There were incessant
shouts for Blease by a howl mob,
both in the theatre and without. He
concluded with the solemn prediction j
that Blease would be overwhelmingly
defeated August 27.
Mayor Johnson was roundly denounced
and a petition was at once
drawn up, calling upon him to resign.

Grace Speaks in Gaffney.
Gaffney, Aug. 3.?With the S. R. 0.
sign exhibited at the court house this
afternoon Mayor John P. Grace, of
Charleston, spoke to a tremendous
crowd of Cherokee voters. The mayor
was met at the station by a reception
committee and a brass band and escorted
directly to the court house. Ed.
H. DeCamp presided over the meeting,
and in a short and happy speech introduced
the speaker. WTien the
speaker arose he was greeted by an
ovation. For several minutes the
house echoed with the cheers of the
throng.
The speaker concluded by saying
that it was a fight of independence
against anarchy. Xot once was the
speaker interrupted during the course
of his speech and at the conclusion he
was given great applause. The best
of order prevailed.
BLEASE MAKES A TALK
TO BROOKLAND VOTERS
Declares He Will be Reelected Gorernor?Pays
Tribute to "Newberry
Cotton Mill Boys"
Brookland, Aug. 3.?"I will beat Ira
B. Jones by 18,000 or 20,000 votes as
certain as God Almighty lets the 27th
of August come," declared Cole. L.
Blease, addressing an audience of possibly
800 people at the Lexington
county campaign meeting here today.
The meeting was composed largely of
mill people, many of whom were ladies.
The governor was escorted to
the stand by his admirers, and a bevy j
of girls carried a large bouquet of;
roses bearing the inscription, "Wei
r>r>mo Wa, oro vmir friends, find hleSS !
Wiuv* T? V Uri V J V v?, ? ?
you. Presented by the mill overseers
and operatives."
Gov. Blease said at the outset that
it was a pleasure to get an opportunity
to speak to the people when he
could have an opportunity to discuss
the issues; that not a single issue had
been discussed during the State campaign;
that it had been a campaign
of "vituperation, abuse and slander;"
and that the people had not had the
opportunity to judge who was the \
best man for governor. He said that;
those "tfho had come to the meeting !
for the purpose of hearing him assail !
bis opponents would be disappointed; I
that he never spoke of his adversaries
behind their backs.
The governor declared that if "it j
had not been for the cotton mill boys
i
at Newberry that he would never have I
been elected to the legislature; that j
if it had not been for the cotton mill
Doys of Newberry hs would have never
been sent to the State senate; that if
it had not been for the^mill boys of
dewberry he would never have been j
elected mayor, and that if it had not j
)een for the mill boys he would nevp i
lave been elected governor of South j
Carolina."
He urged the mill people to turn j
-n election day and see that he j
eceived a fair count. He said that j
nstead of "counting him out," it was
i scheme of the opposition to send
in insufficient number of tickets to
;he strong Blease boxes so that the
Deople would be deprived of the right'
:o vote.
Gov. Blease is evidently anxious to .
lave a senate aud legislature elected J
:his year th.it will be in sympathy j
crith him, for he made a vigorous at- !
:ack on State Senator Crosson, who is I
seeking re-election. At one time dur- j

no need to elect me governor and reflect
your State senator."
The governor received an ovation
when he sat down, and was carried
from the stand to his automobile on
the shoulders of his admirers.
It was a Blease crowd, it being esti- ;
mated that 7a per cent, of the audience |
were his followers, it being a meeting I
for Blease.

JONES IS CHEERED
AT HEATH SPRING
Candidate for Governor Given Ovation.
Business Was Suspended.
Lancaster, Aug. &.?in response tu
an invitation from Heath Spring to
address a mass meeting of citizens of
that place today, Judge Ira B. JOnes,
though seriously handicapped by reason
of a bad throat, spoke enthusiastically
and with telling effect there this
afternoon to a great crowd of voters
besides several hundred cheering WOrn
on onrl r-hildrori
This was a gala day in Heath Spring, j
Business of every kind was temporarily
suspended in honor of South Caro- j
lina's distinguished candidate for gov- j
ernor and probably no public servant!
in Lancaster county has ever been ac- :
corded so great an ovation or been re- i
ceived with greater wormth of hospi- J
tality and feeling than was Judge
Jones today by the good and law abiding
citizens of Heath Sprins.
Banners were in evidence all over
town bearing the slogans: "Heath
Sprins: for Jones," "God save our
State," "Jones is the right man and we
will stand by him."
At the conclusion of Judge Jones'
address the stand upon which he
spoke was literally covered with floral
tributes to him of unusual beauty and
design, while the school girls and
women, with great gusto, sang several
Jones songs of their own composition,
and the men and boys gave many hurrahs
for Jones.
This was primarily a great Jones
day and be it said the crowd of 700
f
i people was easily a Jones crowd. If
j Blease's name was mentioned here today,
except by Judge Jones, who stated
to the audience that in the absence
of his adversary he would not criticise
his administration, this correspondent
did not hear it.

Ladies Hear Speech.
The ceremony itself was short and!
simple. The president apd Senator j
Root, who delivered the address for- j
mally notifying the president of the j
nomination, spoke from a platform j
raised a few feet above the floor of j
the East Room with the treasury and
the east terrace or tne wnne nouse ;
i
with its blooming scarlet geraniums j
and its tall waving green palms, as a '
background. Mrs. Taft, Mrs. Leonard
Wood, wife of the chief of staff of the j
army; Mrs. Beekman Winthrop, wife-:
of the assistant secretary of the navy,'
and Mrs. G. A. McClintock, the only i
women present, sat just below the 1
platform, while around tnem in a nair;
circle were grouped the members of
the committee, senators and congressmen
and other invited guests.
The affair was informal. Most of
the committee and congressmen appeared
in conventional dress, but former
Speaker Cannon who was told
yesterday he could attend in his "shirt
sleeves" ana De comioriaDie, was one
of the few to wear a frock coat.
Taft as a Waiter.
The president apparently enjoyed
the occasion immensely. After his
speech he disappeared in his private
apartments for a few minutes, returning
wearing a silk house coat instead
of his formal dress and acted as waiter
for Mrs. Taft and the other women
and mingled among the guests asked
to luncheon in the State dining room.
After the last visitor had departed,
he motored to Chevy Chase to play golf

$1,000 for Taft Campaign.
With several hundred politicians
present there was plenty discussion
about political subjects. Senator New
ell Sanders, of Tennessee, contributed
to the excitement by announcing that
he had contributed $1,000 to the Taft
campaign fund. The announcement
brought forth the information that so
far no treasurer of the committee had
been named, and Mr. Hilles predicted
that a choice would not be made for
uajo.
Taft's Speech.
Although Mr. Taft defined in detail
the issues of the campaign as he saw
them, he reserved the right to amplify
his statement in a letter as the campaign
develops.
