such t;'.:at everybody seemed to enjoy
his striking words.
Dr. J. A. Sligh, former pastor of
t'.is church for 48 years was pres#
ent and to the delight of his many
friends he was able to stand before
his old congregation orfce more and j
utter a few words of advice. Though
his voice was so weak he could be
heard only by those nearest him, but
while he attempted to speak the whole
congregation listened with eagerness j
to hear his forcible remarks. May God j
"bless nim in his declining years in
such a way that his last days on earth
"may be but his best ever.

John T. Duncan's Speech at Xe wherry.; hi
Wednesday. Aug. 12th, 1914. | u
j ir
We see the dawn of the new day i
when reason is to take the place of' ^
passion, when knowledge is to enable
faith to arrive at correct conclusions.
IThe professions and promises of /
faithrless public servants no longer go .
unchallenged.
On every hand the demand is "You ^
must show me."
aj
I see the result of my labors.
In 1910 I showed the farce oi proST
hibition as an issue with an advocate ^
^ liJo nrrtfoccirvrie wlli!#* i
VtfLIU UCHCtCU lll& ?Ji
serving the system, he being used to Qt
a!
sidetrack a candidate who practiced ^
what he preached. ' p{
All agreed that to let liquor alone
as I did, was the better way. j0
All admitted that the tippler and
the toper, with habits formed would at
nevertheless join hands with us in { S?
having taught in our public schools, p(
tihe effect of alcohol on the human
system and thus join with us in sav- ?
ing tb^ rising generation. re
Whatever else may . be done or at- ei
tempted here is the road to a final p*
settlement. ec
"Compulsory education" should be w
sidetracked by "A bill to assist" and st
herein might be written every require- Fi
ment necessary. Si
The law is a dead letter that ~e- c*
quires impossibilities.
There are helpless parents who can ki
neither clothe, .feed nor buy books for to
their children, and tfae State must
supply this need or compulsion would fo
be a farce as it is today in Mexico.
The Crazy Quilt platforms of the ai
various candidates hardly deserve at- R
tention, (for since the eliminators' con- pi
vention the newspapers have ordered sa
them to confine their discussions to liJ
two issues, education and law enforce
ment. a,\
'Meekly the favored ones submit, ca
while vainly the kickers talk tibeir vx
pet hobbies to the winds. m
Not a man among them but knows ra
that Duncan's proposition to put a hi
public service commisssion of the best tq
experts to work out all matteis af leg- Je
islation and reform, not a ma:i among j
the candidates for governor but knows J fo
that such a commission to study tfce ai
needs of the times and to whom the st
people can come with their needs D
can far better serve all interest that m
thrive in the light. th
Light on dark places may jere be p*
had. rs
Though every corporation or secret tb
interest may oppose, yet here is of- fo
fered protection for the people.
iC-orporations have for years been bi
most ably and cunningly represented
in all matters of legislation while t?
the people have been without method D
among tneir represeuxauves.
The consequence is that today the H
people are paying the penalty. pi
When I uncover to you tte system,
the agents of the system, their newsl si
papers refuse to tell you of teh revlations.
ai
When I point out to you tfce special p<
privileges they ahve taken unto o1
themselves j and the enormous graft- ti
ing going on, these papers are as
silent as the tomb. W
Graft is reduced to a science oy me u
cunning leaders of both, factions who v<
understand each the otter and with a c*i
"gentleman's agreem( ' they fool the d<
people all the time.
The masses, the rank and file of' n<
both parties, are honest and earnest 11
but mislead as often on one side as c(
the other, and while passion rules , it
reason is cast o tee winds.
I show to you the system in the c<
United States having a representative bi
in each State, a district boss in each !
judicial district, a county boss in each , tl
county and two bosses in each club, J
these two* pitted against each other ( ei
to nlav both ends of the line but so 1 c(
innocent as never to suspect that both J S:
are handled by a man higher up. Then ! s*
with the voters parceled out in blocks ! fc
of five are led or driven without ever j a]
suspecting the influences controling bi
you. hi
Imagine Gen. Bratton's surprise to si
find Tillman backed up by Bratton's ) fi]
sworn backer in the campaign o~ 1S90. ' c:
\
\
-J \
T.e system then played both ends
f ti/.e line.
I showed on every stump in 1912
lat it differed little which was electd.
.lones or Blease. for the boss held
ie strings to both.
I have shown it and proven it to the
atisfaction of honest men and to the
istress of crooks that among the ten
len coaxed into the race against me
)r governor, t e system ;'.::id its favrities
in both factions. It prefers
ny man of the ten. to Duncan, for
is believed that any man can be
andled easier than Duncan.
Neither temptation nor punishment
as seduced Duncan and today, he
smains steadfast to his people, a
lartyr for conscience sake.
He bears his punishment and sor
dws alone, nor. makes display for
itv's sake.
The cause of the people deserves
better champion, but these feeble
ands shall never ihang idly at my side
-ile there is yet so muc'.i to be done
i behalf of equal justice to'all men.
On the first day of this campiagn
pointed out the two end men, Mendel
. Smith on the one side and John
icliards on the other, each man havig
long been in training utted to
lay eituer end of the line.
This pair of Camden twins were
ivorites in the house of our master
ad in 'higher circles.
I hand but to mention "coatail
vinging" when Richards grabbed the
30k and could never let go.
Day by day he advertised himself
5 the best coattail swinger of the
inch and he was laughed into fais
)litcal grave. '
M. L. Smith the first choice then
'omed large on the horizon.
I pointed him out as deserving most
; the hands of the boss, for having
ived the old seminole chief iform the
jnitentiary where he deserves to be.
I showd too that Smith had aided
:e exploiters in the:r attempt to
^surrect that asylum job with six or
ght million dollars of graft in prosjct.
His private explanations involvl
him worse and worse. Then Irby
ho fought the job on Duncan's inructions
added some knockout blows.
' 1"* ? ? ^ A4- rimvi/lAn
many pressing ami a.L ^ajuucii,
nith was stripped of cover and deared
against Blease.
His record killed ihim and the party
ssed him good bye and laid him
i rest.
Blease was caught lining up his
rces for M. L. Smith acro?>s the line.
At the burial of Smith, Mr. Blease
id his first lieutenants dug up Mr.
ichards, poured water in his tface,1
imped air into him, used smelling!
ilts to revive him, but all still looks
xe a dead man to me.
Seeing that Duncan was running
vay with the bunah the old boss beime
alarmed with the prospect otf the
)tes so evenly * divided between ten
en as to let Duncan into the second
ice and winning the second race, a
isty call was made for fcbe eliminairs'
convention to meet July 31 at the
ifferson.
The boss rushed a call by telegraph
r July 25th and there with Cooper
id Manning on hand, tihe self confuted
eliminators knowing that
uncan dared them to riam.3 their end
en and the people would wipe clean
e slate, and also dared any man to
irmit himseif to be pulled out of the
ice, thus admitting he had a boss,
.ey decided to concentrate when they
>una they could not eliminate.
'Manning was the favorite substitute
it Cooper was used as a blind.
On second thought they decided
:at an other brush was needed and
r. Clinkscales was used.
Cooper is unconscious and happy,
e doesn't know enough to be aprehensive.
Manning is hopeful but, appreh -nve.
Neither of the two is wise but botii
re kicked enough to deny their purDse
at that conference, and thit each
i tb.em was personally in consultaon
with the boss.
BotJh softly denying the charge at
finnsboro, I challenged them, to name

The eliminated do not love the con?nt

The four Bleaseites fared worse at
le ha mis of their leader.
Blease caught delivering his follow*s
to M. L. Smith and deserting his
cattail swinger, when facing that
mith declaration against him and
;eing he could not control his sincere
llo-wers (though one of his lieutenits
expressed his regret at Smith's
