Sevtn Announced for (Joyernorshio and a Score More Expected to Enter the Lists. ? i Columbia, S. C., March 20.?Al- j +Vii-vncr>, ,+ 4C o vpflr and a nuarter be-i tUVU^U IV C4. J wv. ^ fore the next campaign in South Carolina, the candidates to be chosen in the democratic primary in 1914 for thej various offices are already beginning to announce, making true the asserrtion that the people of the Palmetto State just can't exist without politics. There is reaHy no such thing as an ^ ' "off year" in South Carolina for just as soon as one election is over the campaign for the next two years begins. By reason of the bittre fight waged on Governor Cole. L. Blease in his reelection last summer and the chief executive's capacity for staying in thj ^ tima nnlifirs in lilll? llgut HH cut; iuv this State have never cooled off. Out of the boiling, seething political caldron last summer, emerged Cole. L. > Bleas-e triumphant over the hardest fought campaign ever staged in any State. With the governorship tucked away for two more years he at once announced his intention of entering iw? fTTnitp/i States senator in liiU JLXOWO *-^2. _ 1914 for the seat now held by E. D. Smith, "Cotton Ed." as he is known ' in Carolina. Blease and Smith. t The senatorship fight will head the list in 1914. With Governor Blease j; pitted against Senator Smith a renewral of the vitriolic Blease-Jones joint canvas* of the State in 1912 is expect r ed. With a prospect of former Governor John Gary Evans entering this race the chances for an extremely bitter struggle are increased. Mr. Evans is so objectionable to Governor Bieat> that the latter has frequently declared that he would not! speak to him and would not stay in a! room in a meeting over which he presided. Mr. Evans is equally as comTkiim*vntarv to the erovernor and both * . ware past masters in the art of backhanded rhetoric, sarcastic flings, and those "graces" of speech, which delight the multitudes. Although four times defeated for United States sen-! ator, former Governor Evans is a fac- i tor in the State and a joint debate j between him and Governor Blease' would be interesting. <2cmi?tnr Smith is a stump speaker of no mean proportions himself and: can hold his own in a joint debate ' with the governor. He has always i been strong with the farmers and it was this element which elected him to 1908 over former Governor John Gary Evans. Governor Blease is recognized as heins- without a peer as a stump j speaker, unless Senator Tillman is ex-1 Aft cepted. He can stir an audience as few ' Wr- men can and has the knack of being able to gauge his crowd as soon as ! ^ > he ris-es to his feet. He is quick as a flash in repartee and a debator of ability. Probably better than any other public man in the State the Palmetto governor is acquainted with the poli- ( tical records of practically every pub-1 lie official from the tim-e they first en... ,.j tered the areno until tfte present uay. i He will have the record of Senator Smith at his finger tips and will probably launch one of his famous "broadsides" when he first meets him j on the stump which was so effective in his race against Judge Jones last' summer. j Three-Cornered State, k There may be other candidates forj BL thi<R Dlace, but if so, they are not let- j ting it be known. Few men in public life today in South Carolina care to T face Cole. L. Blease on the public stump and run the gauntlet of a pub-; lie debate with him. His strength! JUVrf* R "with the cotton mill operatives and the poorer classes of people have given him a militant following which will follow him blindly and which it is practically impossible to take from him. This the politicians know and as huntine that same iliVOl/ \JX. M* N/ ? ^ rote they think it the part of wisdom j to wait until Blease im out of the way before entering. However, John Gary Evans and E. D. Smitk will meet h?? without fear and a three-cornered bat-1* tie royal is promised for the junior | senatorial toga in 1914. With Blease grasping for the senatorial toga, there is a veritable scram-' lile for the office of governor to sue-'Lceed him. Already Lieutenant Gover-1 nor Smith, Speaker M. L. Smith, of the house: Railroad Commissioner John j v G. Richards, Attorney General Pee- j pies, rormer senator n.. 1. actuumg, j Prof. John G. Clinkscales, of Woffordj college; Solicitor R. A. Cooper hare definitely announced their candicacies for governor in 1914. Representative* eor*? H. Rwabert, of Richland, titu- j lar leader of the administration forces' in the hous-e; form, r I nited States Senator John L. McLaurinJ former Lieutenant Gov*'lnor Thomas G. McJ^eod and a score of others are expect-1 ed to be in the race. Every man who has any idea or hope of b^ing the chief executive of the Palmetto common-! wealth will likely run next year. Never was there such a scramble for this position. It is apparent that several of th-e candidates already announced are counting in the majority of the Blease vote. Attorney General Peeples is an I out and out Blea^ advocate, stated so publicly on the stump last summer j and it is admitted that was the only reason why he won the election and j defeated J. Fraser Lyon. Representative Rembert, who stuck to the governor during the story ses- j sions of the legislature and fought for! him on 'he stump last summer in the heated campaign in the capital city, naturally expects to fall heir to the Blease vote. v Railroad Commissioner John G.' Richards has long been a personal1 ^~J ^ A ?? 4 /^Anlin n/f iritnu oi uic gu?ei nui axiu ucwiucu ^ to take sides last summer and probably looks for a considerable vote from the Blease faction. Solicitor' t Cooper hails from Laurens, which has always been a hotbed of Bleaseism! and justly looks for considerable j Blease votes. None of the candidates ! are pronounced anti-Blease men, and' none have been noted for their fac- j tionalism. It's an open field and with j the picking of a probable winner impossible at this far off date. Candidates will be plentiful. Even the lieutenant governorship is going to be in demand a,nd there will be! an over supply offering for railroad |j commissioner, announcements for this ' nosition already being made. A Uni- : ted States Senator, governor, complete State and county officers, a j house of representatives and half of' the State senate will be elected next year so that there will be plenty of politics from now until after the election even for South Carolina.
