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

hesitate to put the executive responp
sibilities of the commonwealth in the j
hands of a Southerner and the United

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.

State. On Saturday morning the State
carried an editorial commenting on
one paragraph in the editorial?the
paragraph quoted in the letter. I have
seen nothing further of the matter in !
the Sta:^. .J. K. 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 ?? J V* tVlon
wnose nanas arc itni >vnu uiwu ^nuu
a white race whose blood is tainted
with that of a race we can not in such
maimer 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 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.
