SON OF SOUTH BRINGS GREETING FROM NORTH i / OBLITERATION OF ALL SECTION- j A LISM. i j Speaking ;;t His Birthplace in Virginia President elect Suggests A (Med * Significance to Celebration. t Staunton, Ya.. Dec. L'$.?President- ' ? elect Wood row Wilscn, by birth a Vir- j ginian, but by adoption a .son of New j Jersey, proclaimed today the hope that1 his administration might mean the fin-; al obliteration of everything that may! ^ have in the past divided the North and i the South. "I suggest an added significance to the occasion," said Gov. Wilson in pre- i senting the gre< tings of New Jersey to' Virginia, "because it is a son of tlu> South who brings the greetings of the North." : . I Standing on the porch of .Mary j Baldwin seminary, in the chapel of which lie was baptized, ihe pr-.sident / -elect spoke to a great crowd gathered : from far and wide on'the occasion of J his return to his native town on the j 56Ji anniversary of his birth. But while Mr. Wilson speke with! feeling of his hopes for a spirit of re- j union that would recognize "neither region nor section, nor North nor South," he talked significantly of his future course in politics with particular relation to the conduct of business. tw ^residency, the governor said, | y he regarded "as an office in which a man must put on his war pain:," but iy he added that his visage was such that he "did not mind marring it for j "a man can keep his manners and still j fight.'" I I A great many men who have taken ! the narrow view of legislating for sectional advantage would have to be mastered, the governor pointed out, in order "that they may be the instruments of justice and mercy." I To tfie business men of the country I he held out also the appeal that s r-i vice to the nation meant giving full j value received and remarked that in | past decades too much of the fortune I making had "consisted, of getting some- ! nnthins:." The governor said ' IJLUlig lUi w he had no quarrel with the free exerr c;se of brains in business, but he objected to brains that established "an air-tight isolation," or monopoly into which no competition could enter. I Spoke Out in Open. / The president-elect spoke out of doors. He intended to talk for only j a few minutes but his voice came back i T'l tn him in such strong tones that his j V ? speech lasted 35 minutes. He had not proceeded far with it, however, when Mrs. Wilson, who stood behind him, cautionca audibly: "Put 011 your hat." Voices1 in the crowd interrupted, too, j with the; remark: "Put on your hat,: governor " The president-elect smiled \ as he covered his head in the cold air j and remarked. "I thank you for the,1 ^ suggestion. That was a suggestion J from in front end a command from be- j hind." The crowd laughed and ap-, ^ plauded. j "I can no: forget at this happy mo- j ment," continued the governor, "the ' confidence that has been reposed in me and the privilege of service that has been accorded me by the great State of New Jersey, and I want to give myself j ~ - --?t in the ereat i the pleasure 01 Driugmt, ^ ? State of Virginia the greetings of the great State of New Jersey, and I believe that in doing so, I suggest an added significance to this occasion, be-j # cause a son of the South brings the J greetings of the North. I would fain ? believe that my selection as president! by the people of the United States means the final obliteration of everything that may have divided the great sections of this. countr>. j 44A great Northern State did not hesitate to put the executive responp sibilities of the commonwealth in the j hands of a Southerner and the United to nut,in tj States nas h<jl iiwiLu.w. place of chief power in the country itself a native of Virginia, i would be j indeed happy if I should be permitted ^ to deem myself in some degree- the instrument in drawing together the hearts of all men in the United States for. the service of a nation that has neither region, nor section, nor North nor South." The presidentelect here spoke reminiscently of his visits to Staunton in his youth, told of how he courted 'a, young girls at the seminary and picked flowers in a garden nearby. Miss Janet Woods, a girl of 12 when woourow Wilson was but 14, was his playmate at that time. Today she stood a few feet away listening to his speech. The governor soon turned from recollections, however, to a discourse on elasticity in interpreting the institutions set up by the fathers of the country.

A. ; Editor The State, Columbia, S. C. Dear Sir: Since the address of Govrnor B!ea-*e before the Conference of; Governors in Richmond recently, you have been running in The State from day to day, pro ninentlv displayed, comments of various n-w;-papers' throughout the country adverse to the' governor and to the sentiments which he expressed?some of these comm nrs bein.u unusually vitriolic in tone and ex pre-.-ion. In view of the publii cation oi these adverse eritcisms 1.1 yoirr paper. I be.^ to hand you herewith, with thr request for publication, an editorial clipping from the Austin (Texas) Statesman of December 12, sent to this office. Governor Blease has1 received many newspapers and nfwsM ner articles commending his stand, and hundreds of letters and tele- ; grams of congratulation from all over the country; but this particular edi-1 torial comment is sent to you with; the desire to call particular attention j to this paragraph, which is, of course, j best und rstood when read in connec- j tion with the entire editoiial herewith I enclosed: "We merely meant to say that if fatal blunder has to be made we prefer .the blunder of Blease to the blunder of Illinois. We prefer the mob to miscegenation; we prefer a white race ~ 1 ??

And feeling as we do we are not sorry to learn that Governor Blease will go to the senate as he boasted he would." In the interest of fair play, publication of the entire editorial is respectfully requested, in the- manner m which you have been reproducing many adverse criticisms of the press. Respectfully, Jjio. K. Aull. Secretary to the Governor. (Editorial clipping from Austin, Texas, Statesman of December 12, 1912): "BL-EASE IS SURE OF SEX ATE." The condemnation of Governor Blease of South Carolina for his declaration at the Conference of Governors to the effect that he would never call out the militia to protect a rapist has been, we think, as intemperate in its severity a?- was the governor's outburst, "To hell with the Constitution." We have already stated that the objection to the position of Governor '? *v ~ ~ t art or>/? /->r?n_ DltJtiSt; is LIlcH, cl IIUJ.11 aii\.Bivu ouu ? ~ fined oil' a, charge of crime is not necessarily guilty, even though his skin be black. Mob law prevents getting the right man. But even after saying Governor Blease is wrong we can not help feeling the keenest sympathy for him as he tried to explain something to those Northern governors that they don't know anything about and never will know anything about until they move South. And the pity of it all is that they assume they know more about it than the Southerners. The writer of these lines has tried to discuss the race problem with Northern men and final| ly quit because he knew that in another five minutes he would have the very air blue with profanity and smellI kag with sulphur. No man who has never lived in the South will ever believe that a negro is not a white man whose skin happened to be black. As j long as they are so dense and so stub! born in their ignorance it is just as ! well not to try to tell them anything. ; Let u-y go our way as best we can and j Let them go their way?the way of Illi! nois, for instance, which for lack of a law long on the statute books of Texas, has to be the shame of the white race in witnessing tie marriage of Jack Johnson to a white woman. Unfortunately the mistakes th.e Nortn I makes in dealing with the race problem | the South also has to pay penalty for I while for our gins we alone suffer. | This was not\neant, however, to be j a discussion of that dangerous topic, j We merely meant to say that if fatal j blunder has- to be made we prefer the j blunder of Blease to the blunder of 1 Illinois. We prefer the mob to mis'cegenation; we prefer a white race ! whose hands are red with blood than j a white race whose blood is tainted | with that of a race we can not in such manner help?while we kill ourselves. And feeling as we do we are not sorry to learn that Governor Blease will go to the senate as he boasted he would. in ? hat c ' >. !: * <>' 11 ii:.iioin S*>aa*>i;i S C . to i!i<I'ir.Iavlclj iiia k*t >rci. tdii-.j; oi' the ijoiitica! situation in Soiitn Carolina is oi iut<. rest: "Govti!:or UIease\s boast that lie will i:o to th- I nitt-d States senate in 191.", as the successor of S-en.
