I and former Governor Blease.
> were vociferously cheered by their
supporters. So also as to the senti-!
ments which eacii expressed. 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

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

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

rin attacked Mr. Carter for having
L signed affidavits so as to secure scholR
arships for his daughters at Winthrop,
while he was drawing the salary 01
State Treasurer, the salary as president
of a bank and had a short time
before p&id more than $1,000 for an
H automobile.
"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

were : eld at the heads of the peo1
pie of this city to rob a fan of his '
office. 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

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- .

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

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 :

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.
