(t.ird From Hon. Jos. L. Ikeitt. Editor of The Herald and News. Hr In your issue of today you publish W Gov. i.leuse's tirade o:' fault finding against everybody except himself, and whA ^till nh?;)in thpir own ll\J V-Ctii OUil w-^-4 ? -consent ty vote for him. 1 will take notice of on'y twj points. # Without the least solicitation or tiesire on my part I was elected county chairman 1 appreciate the honor and will endeavor to give full and impartial service. 1 regard the statement that the county convention was "packed," if 1 understand the meaning of the word, as utterly silly. The contention was overwhelmingly anti-1 Please irom tie county ciuus, ana Gov. Blease himself is responsible for f raising the issue. Under the circum- t stance, if the people of Newberry I should prefer a populists or republiP can to Blease they should not be cen-' sured, the blame should attach to him. The assertion that years ago I left the Democratic party, and became he leader of the populists in this State j j'.nd was a candidate for office on the populist ticket is an error. I have never been a member of any political party except the dem c-ratic party. 1 have voted m every primary election 01 me i democratic party that has been held in the State, and have almost continuously represented my club on the! executive committee. i Years ago when the low price of cotton was driving our farmers almost jj to despair I took an active part in the jj farmers alliance?I did my utmost to contribute to our relief?I was a member of the State convention that sent; 'jeiegaies uit: i;uu?cui:uu j at Chicago. The State convention adopted the following resolutions: | "We see with displeasure and apprehension t'.iat the money changers of wall street have invaded the sacred temple of democracy/' * * "We assert that Grover Cleveland does not represent the principles of democracy ; - i e ..-U A ^ o. i as xauglll uy our lOi tJiauitri s, anu as we understand them. We shall look upon the nomination of Ex-President Cleveland if forced upon our party by the Chicago convention as a prostitu- j tion of the principles of democracy, i as a repudiation of the demands of the farmers alliance and a surrender of j the rights o: tlie people to the finan- j cial kings of the country." When Cleveland received the nomination I j \ refused to support him and with oth ers organized an electoral ticket for I Weaver and Field who truly repre- ' seated the farmers alliance and the democracy of South Carolina. My narfie was on the ticket. The executive committee o? New-i berry cotnuy considered the status of those wao opposed Cleveland with re- j spect to t'-.e primary anJ tv.is resolu-1 tion was adopted by a vote of 15 to 5: Resolved, T.:at any white man : who subscribes to the constitution o: the democratic party and signs a club roll be entitled t; vote in the primary: to be held on tne uytn June, ? Gov Blease wa.s one of the fiftee'.? A short time afterwards I was elected I \ in the democratic primary convention i as a member of the constitutional convention. And now it appears remarkable that Mr. Blease sh'uld then .".lave submitted to such a heinous offense ; wit-out saying a word against it. Jos. L. Keitt. June 19, 1914. Cotton Blooms.
