When I former Governor Blease declared tnac he was opposed to "cmmming down the throats of the people any law they did not like" he was lustily applauded by a part of the audience. On the oiher hand, Governor Manning was loudly cheered every time he referred I to the work done during his adminis\ traticn toward improving conditions iiere and elsewhere in the State by closing the blind tigers and gambling Dlaces, with the help and backing of the law-abiding citizens of these communities. (The Minor Offices. When Mr. Albert S. Fant, candidate for railroad commissioner, began speaking, about 3:30 o'clock, there "were about two hundred persons in tue hall. Chairman Moore, in introducing Mr. Fant as the first speaker of the afternoon, asked that the crown hear each speaker attentively. " JJJ-i? e?. ,J I me nve cauuiuaies tui uuiimu commissioner outlined the duties of the cf&ce, and each told of how he thought hifself best fitted for the office. They spoke in the following order: Mr. Albert S. Fant, Mr. McDuffle Hampton, Mr. W. H. Kelly, Mr. "W. T. Thrower and Mr. James Cansler. There was considerable bantering among the speakers. Mr. Cansler received the heaviest applause. TVi? "5? jT T. lArJnmi! a-nrt rftp nrpspnl incumbent, Mr. Andrew J. Beth.ea,< r candidates for Lieutenant Governor, ' spoke in the order named. Dr. Adams attacked the character and fitness of Mr. Bethea. He said little as to his ^ -own qualifications ror the office. Mr. Bethea was greeted with much applause on the statement that he was - ~ i nrw f ??/\r? wus^ructiug ms cauipai^u ucc iiiuxi t personalities. He answered the char- j ges.put forwaidby his opponent, gave ; liis platform and referred to his re-1 cord. Mr. W. B. Dove and Mr. George W. ^ Wightman spoke next, and in the orW der namel. They are candidates for J? ^ Secretary cf State. The meeting -became a little warm on the appearance of the candidates for State Treasurer, Mr. S. T. Carter > - T-v TTT Af.T MT- ?? ?aiiu ifii - ?s.

"How do you expect him to have any money after he bought an automobile " called a fellow in the audience. m Mr. McLaurin was interrupted fre Iquently and had trouble in completing his talk. Former Crovernor Blease. Former Governor Blease was greeted with an ovation when he came into the 3ia!l and made his way to the stagb throu-gh the crowd of persons jammed in the centre aisle. Hurrahs for Blease were heard on the outside before he made his appearance in the meeting hall. He entered as Mr. Bethea was speaking. He was the first of the Gubernatorial candidates to speak 'and on being introduced was presented with five floral offerings and a large and beautiful basket of fruit, the gift of S. P. Shiadaressi, of this city. Younk ladies I carried the flowers. He was given a second ovation. Throughout his remarks he was frequently interrupted i)y tremendous applause, which continued at length. "I do not believe in cramming or attempting to cram down the throats of any community any law that the people do not want/' he said, and there was thunderous applause. The speaker delivered one of his r typical campaign speeches, in which .Governor Manning was bitterly attacked. Declaring that he believed the right o? the people to enjoy liberty as they pleased, without being told what to -do, he added that at present there isj ^ more extr vagance and lawlessness ir. r the State ai present than ever before, j Vaxes have L>ce:: increased an.: va..v: useless boar'Is ere 'eel. hv as The heard 01 char;..:es and - tin ion. the : : . k-:i a i .

He claimed that under Gov. | ernor Manning there had been vio- i lence and lawlessness throughout the State. Predicting that next January would j find him Governor of the State once j more, he pledged the same kind of administration he had given before. He was greeted with heavy applause from his supporters as he concluded and between one and two hundred people immediately left the hall-. Mr. R. A. Coooer. Tae Hfon. Robert A. Cooper, the next candidate for Governor to spe!ak, was liberally applauded when he was introduced by Chairman (Moore. Mr. Cooper refrained from criticising an* of is opponents and devoted his time to an enunciation of his platfom. He particularly stressed the educational plank and explained his plan for making it easier for the yo'ng people of the State to acquire an education. Mr. Cooper declared that he never j. intended to win an office by pulling down the character of an opponent' and having only to offer something better than that. Should he be elected, he said, he promised to be Governor of every man, woman and chila in the State. At this stage Mr. Cooper was presented with a large wreath of flowers. "Any man who enters office to award friends or to punish his ene mies breaks his oath, and if he is not true to himself he will not be true to i others," the speaker said. Mr. Cooper referred to his campaign of two years ago, when on the . stump he adbocated law and order, and declared that he stood for the same I principles now as then. He dechred that the State was not dependent upon any one man for the administration of it* laws, that if there were only one man in South Carolina fit to be Governor n 1/^ i A 4- V* { c A! ^ a Liu lie suuuiu u:u, iino s1 anu uiu Commonwealth would be in a mighty bad fix. He did not claim that he was the only man qualified to be Governor of South Carolina, he said, bait he pledged his best efforts to the State and its people if elected. A modifi- .

In South Caro- ; lina at a time when troops are having j to be sent to Mexico to deal with the ! stormy and distressful conditions which factionalism has wrought in that country, "i am," he concluded, "for one citizenship, one flag and one United States." , JoTin T. Duncan, Esq., also brought roars of laughter from the crowo with is witticisms at the expense of the other candidates. He made his usual attack on "the system" and again predicted his election. Governor R. I. Manning. Tl*e last of the Gubernatorial candidates to be presented to the audience was Governor Manning, who was compelled to wait a short while before beginning his . speech, so extended was the applause given by his supporters. A few men in the crowd undertook to hiss, but their hisses were, drowned in the vociferous cheering; that greeted the Governor. Most of Governor Manning's address was in reference to conditions in Charleston before and during his administration. He declared that he had promised two years ago, if elected, to enforce t-he laws here and elsewhere to tlw best of his ability, under his oath, and that he had endeavored to keep this pledge. He called on the audience to say whether or not conditions liere in reference to gambling and liquor selling had improved since he became j Governor. He also stated that while j he had done his best, he realized that j he could have accomplished much. ha.l j it not been for the wholesome senti-1 ment in favor of law-enforement on the p-urt of the "good people of Charleston." This was loudly applauded. The Governor dwelt briefly on other matters pertaining to his administration, including former and \ nrpspnt conditions at the State Hos pital for the Insane. He told of hi* visit to and inspection of that institution and the conditions that he found needing immediate correction. This was a dark picture, and In contrast he outlined the present improved situation surrounding the unfortunate inmates of that institution. This portion of the Governor's speech was given close attention and hearty applause was given his recital of the j transformation wrought at the Asylum, where the inmates are "no longer treated as prisoners." He explained that the increased compensation paid Superintendent Williams last year, about which so much had been said, was out of his own pocket and that he had sought no reimbursement and expected none. The check in this case which the Governor paid amounted to $2,700. Governor Manniug stated that at Barnwell he had called upon Mr. Cooper to explain why he was in the race for the Governorship this year. "Two -years ago," he said, "Mr. Cooper stood on the same platform practicaly that I did. I have carried out rr>v pledges. Now Mr. 'Cooper is in the race to defeat me and I want to ask t-t-Vi?f tt.'/miIH Tiavo Hnnp "with LillLI Y> XX CLi* * ?'vuiu um > v v* v .. . law-enforcement in Charleston and I other places-, what if elected he woula do about the tax commission, the board of charities and other measures passed as Administration measures, and what he would have done as to the Asylum Mr. Cooper has not seen fit to answer what I asked of trim at Barnwell. Nevertheless, i think he owes it, not simply to me, but to the people of the State, to clear :hese matters up." The Governor was roundly applauded as he concluded and, the meeting being over, groups of people crowded ibout him, and for some time he wat. kept busy shtiqing hands and answering questions.

I It was suggested that the signing might await the return of Secretary Lansing from his vacation early in August. The exact provisions of the agree- J ment are being closely guarded in the ; belief that publicity at this time miglu place the negotiators at a disadvantage. Officials reluctantly confirmed that tlie purchase virtually had been consummated and betrayed ciispleas ure that reports of the advanced stat. us of the negotiations had been circulated in last night's press dispatches. Their chief concern is understood to be the possibility that some third nation, might bring pressure to bear to defeat the project. , In general terms the treaty is understood to follow one negotiated in 1902 by the two governments, which lapsed when the Danish parliament failed to ratify it after the United States senate had acted favorably. It is said to contemplate complete I lAmerican acquisition of the group which, lies east of Puerto Rico and is regarded as of great strategic mili- 1 tary value. Relinquishment of undefined American claims through right . of discovery in Greenland, a Danisft colony, also is said to be included. The treaty of 1902 provided t.aat the islands should not be transferred until their inhabitants had voted ap 1 tx 1 i.1 ? i. ! yrovai. it is presumeu iue yrtroeu;. treaty bears such a provision but the possigility of an unfavorable vote b> the islanders is considered very remote. Whether the Danish parliament might again defeat ratification is understood to be a matter of some speculation among officials here. General I confidence in favorable action is felt. | but diplomatists are sensitive to the I fact that Denmark might feel strong- i lv nm.- nre<;?iirp hpr npip-hhnr<? hrnn^hf : / r* ~ "?o? o to bear to prevent the sale. It is re- 1 caled that failure of the 1902 treaty ! was attributed to German influences. | Xo difficulty is anticipated on the j other hand in securing ratification oi i a purchase treaty by the United States ; senate. An effort probably -will be! made to secure favorable action before the present session ends.
