"I propose to deal with the City Charleston for the next two years ju as I have done for the past ninete< or twenty months, and to let Charle ton do as Charleston pleases." These words were spoken by Go ternor Cole. L. Blease last night fro an open-air platform at the Schuetze: platz to a crowd of about 1,000 peop who cheered the statement lustily, few minutes later, the governor sait "I \>,? w w<j you and to all < South Carolina that there will be r change so far as the State governmei is concerned in the officials inxChars of Charleston, and there will be notl ing done than can make any man fee that his home will not be inviolate an safe from forced entrance." The friends of Governor Blease i this city took advantage of the occ< sion last night to present to the goy ernor a handsome diamond ring as token of their regard, and there wei several speeches in addition to the of the governor. Mr. J. V. Wallac< president of the Charleston Count Blease club, presided. There wei many prominent Charlestonians o the platform. The first speaker was Mr. Georg Lunz, who introduced Governc Blease. Mr. Lunz spoke briefly, tel ing the people how glad he was to ir troduce Governor Blease as the go-* iernor-elect, as lie had done on thi date two years before. He said h knew* all the people would obey an respect Cole. L. Blease as governor c the State, "as good a governor as an; in" South Carolina for many years. Mr. Lunz spoke of the difficulties un der which Governor Blease made hi campaign. He said that Governo: Blease was the only governor sine* the war thpt harf <rivp<r> nha-rloctrrr home rule. Governor Blease was greeted wit! loud cheering. After expressing his pleasure at being in Charleston, h said: Blease and Charleston. "I have always felt that you should have the right and the privilege of caring for yourselves as you thought fcest. While I was in the legislature, I always voted for and stood for the interests of Charleston. Now there are some people in Charleston who ' think that they are particularly IT.' I propose to show them during the next two years that as far as the governor's office is concerned they are particularly Nit." He added that there were some people in Charleston who thought- that any one who came from above TenMile Hill was a countryman. He said that this element was not fit to appreciate the advantages of home rule properly. He then made the fctate ment that he proposed to let Charleston do as Charleston pleased, and added that he did not say this because he wanted the people here to do anything lawless or not to obey the laws of the State, but because he felt that this city was peculiarly situated and laws which might be just and good for other sections of the State might he hardships for Charleston. Charleston has' great opportunities ahead of her, said Governor Blease. In a short time the city would have the greatest military display that had ever been seen in this section of th2* nation. Council had invited the State militia to take part and, as commander-in-chief of the National Guard of the State, he proposed to do everything in his power to have all the men of the militia come here and enjoy themselves and help in entertaining the men of the United States fleet. When the Panama Canal is opened, he said, the people of Charleston should lay aside a]l personal feeling and ambition and unite in an effort to bring prosperity to Charleston. There were great things in store for the city if the people would do this. Governor Blease spoke oi the big increase in the city's real estate during the last two years and said that Charleston was ?nore prosperous now than two years ago. He said that one of the things which had aided to bring this about was the feeling of security of the people coming into the city that they would be allowed real home government. All conditions were favorable for the city's prosperity. He said tliot mon TVVI r> attPTidPrl tVlP R P/l Men's convention here had gone back to their homes with very favorable reports and had told their people that Charleston was a city well worth their attention. K;k No Wish for Revcjisre. He then said that there would be no change in Charleston during th? next two years, as far as he was concerned, r I AFuU So Shoes of All ?'

Blac Prosperity, So I t and added that some people had remarked that he had threatened Charleston and that because Charleston had not given him a majority he would do various things to the city. He said: I "I thank God that I am too much of i a man to allow such petty feelings to I enter my breast and to strike my l fripn^c hpMnse of the ingratitude of some people for whom I have done ! more than for many of those who sup- j ported me in this campaign." Governor Blease then dealt with the ! 1 general election and urged every man j j'to get out and vote for George S. Le-j | gare, saying that they had a congress- ' i man who deserved every vote in the j district. He warned them that in the ' peculiar political situation in the j country there might be a contest for | I Mr. Legare's seat, and that it, by' ! chance, a Republican congress were | j elected, they would have an excuse to j I i ^ i i f U oV?/-?TI'n t O f" VlP I i UllStJilt mill XJL 1L V> <T-i !C wunu iuuv uv received only a handful of votes in his district. He also urged every man to get out and vote for Wilson, although, be said, he believed that In nominating Wilson 'bv? Democrats had chosen their weakest man, and that Harmon would have hid an overwhelming victory. He said tr.at as a Democrat he was earnest in 'lis support of Wilson and ;?sked eveiyj r?f,n tn cm to the n.i'k and v0te fOl* j.~ ~ "" I j Woodrow Wilson for President. I Vote for Peeples, Says Blease. j ;In answer to a question from some-; | one in the crowd Governor Blea-se said: "I take- it for granted that every one 'in Charleston is going to vote for Tom Peeples, so that I haven't said anything about it. If you want injunctions vote for the man who has been landing them out." "I want every man in Charleston to [ tnnu- ho said "that- he ran rest easv I and rest assured of the fact that his "home is his castle- and that as long as I am governor no man can invade it." A little later he said: "When there are any offices to he given out down here, they are going 'strictly to Blease Tien. And if any :'one is recommended to me and he is i not a Blease man, he will never carry | ! a commission with my name on it." But, he said, he wanted it understood that when it was a question of j j'duty he would judge fairly between | ' friend and enemy and if his enemy was : | right and his friend wrong, he would ; i uphold his enemy.

He then spoke of the things he had; to overcome in his campaign and said that though much money had been furnished to debauch the voters and that even some of the preachers fought against him, J2,000 people had desig nated mm as tneir choice. He said he wanted every man to feel that he was protected by the law and that, as a citizen of South Carolina the governor's office -was wide open to him. If any one had any complaint to make or favor to ask, he should j come in person to ask it, and not ask some one else to see- the governor for Mm. He said he considered it a fac tor in nis success tnat ne naa gone j down, among the people of the State i and had found out what the people I wanted. In conclusion he said he wanted to j thank the people of Charleston for j giving him enough honest men on the legislative delegation to "hold that gang in check," and that if they couldn't do it, "Cole. L. Blease will see to it that it is done." Presented With Bing. After the applause had subsided, Mr. Joseph Fromberg presented Governor Blease with a very handsome diamond ring, speaking in part as follows: "You governor, started your campaign for re-election almost alone, as Xapoleon was when he first landed on ; that memorable occasion, but no soon- j er was your voice heard on the hust- j nigs; no souner uiu you start yum- ag- j gressive campaign, beginning with the) famous Bishopville speech; no sooner i did the people of South Carolina have j the opportunity of listening to your \ golden-tongued oratory and of beholding your captivating personality then ] they flocked to your standard of victory and swept all obstacles from their path.
