Fully 25,{H>0 reo-i pie were addressed iyy Former Gov- i ernor Blease in 'Stpartanburg Green-: ' i ville and Laurens counties today and J tonight, and Blease enthusiam is run-j nin riot in the Piedmont. The meeting at Dukeland park, near the city of Greenville, was pronounced by those conversant with the political history of the State, as the largest political gathering ever held in South Carolina. Sheriff Rector, who presided, said at the conclusion of Mr. b Blease's speech that there were news papers in South Carolina which would I probably lomoro?-.? morning try to (make it appear tliat there were fesBlease supporters in the crowd, and jrhen he asked for a hand primary, Between 10,000 and 20,00l> hands of men and women from Greenville and pther counties in South Carolina were peld up for Blease. r Holding in his arms the little daughter of Oscar Bramlett, of Greenville, who 'was among the many who j presented the former governor wifh ai F great mass of flowers, Mr. Blease said: | "The good book says, and a little child j shall lead them. I pray God that I may, liKe this little child, l^ad my people for truth, for justice and> for right" Wild Enthusiasm. If Scenes of wildest enthusiasm mark& ed the appearance of Mr. Blease as I he drove into Greenville from SparH -ton/Killer he hari addressed a I_ ^ rr mw. crowd of probably 3,000 people, mainly fanners. , In beginning his Spartanburg address Mr. Blease referred to the opening campaign meeting at Spartanburg, at which he baa promised to make a clean campaign upon principles and said that he had carried out that promise. "I regret to say, however," lie con tinued, "that I hoped m vain that there I would "be no attempted corruption by V those opposed to me, but I have the proof that my present opponents have I committees out today taking up collections of money from whatever source they c^n get it, in order to try to j buy the votes of the pepople of this ; state.*' He told the people to take ! 'Vonnino- monpv and get it in cir- j eolation and vote for Blease. Mr. j Cooper and his friends had felt what j IElease had suffered since he had been J ir. politics, he said, and Cooper had! been given a cowardly deal by in*; newspapers. Had the second race been with Cooper, he said, there would fcave been the dirty, cowardly work going on ttat is now going on, be-1 cause the Cooper people would not I StOOp XO 1110 utfpuua iu nutvu m>v ? ning crowd had stooped. Reviews Record. Mr. Blease stated iis platform and reviewed the record of Governor Man- j ning, which he said had been the worst in the history of the state. He showed that Manning had voted as a member of the -general assembly against the measures for the relief of the cotton mill employes ror which he was now trying to tpKe the <y*eait. He paid a tribute to W. S. Rogerst a : member of the legislature from Spar- , ? ?*?-? -"l-" n-oa <notril. p tanDurg, 3rS II1C IIlan W iiu nao auova ?* | mental in securng^ the passage of the j f weekly pay bill. I <Mr. Blease said that he stood for j i the^equal enforcement of the law and I equal justice to rich and poor alike. The cashier of Manning's bank stole r $31,000, he said, from the bank and [ banning had refused to allow him to) ' be prosecuted, yet was boasting of I putting a man on theychangang fori f gelling a half pint of liquor. / "I did not come here," he said, "for the purpose of making votes. I came 1 1 here to assure you that, on next Tues-) day, if you watch the count, I will j be elected governor of your state by fifteen to twenty thousand majority; j but they are going to try to buy the j vote. If they can't bay it, they are 1 i going to try to steal it. Yestlrdav a P prominent man, calling himself a law and order man, said publicily on j the streets of Columbia that he hai ! been in one of Manning's caucuses and j that they proposed to have this elec- j I tinn if thev had to huy or steal it; j I that they were going to have it by i fair means or foul. I am not stirring f up factionalism. I have tried' in thi3 I campaign to bring the people of my I state back together. When I tm-adb j f this fight I did not make it for myself.! f I have made it for the great principles for which we stand which have been rfer foot bv the admnistra-1 VUUVU uaavw. ? tion now in power.'* Amid cheering which rang through the business part of the city of Sparr tanburg, he closed with anl eloquent peroration in which he said that was going to be governor of all the people oi his state. * At Dukeland Park. Further carrying out this thought in l-iio oHrfroce at Dllk'P int; CUIiCiUOlun ut 1UO auuivoo w ? . land park, in -Greenville, he said tha: he would receive between 75,000 ana 80,000 votes on next Tuesday, and "when I go into office I expect to bt g-cvernor of all the people of South Carolina. I have satisfied my person.il ambition. I have be^n governor for lour years. 1 have made this race foi my party and by my actions will, my party be judged in the ruture, iv%ui years from now, and in the future] when the reform party, which I stand here today as the representative of, puts a candidate in the race for offic*. they are going to judge my party by my course during the next two years and I propose to write that record in such a manner that any man in Soutii Carolina, who is honest, will be ob. liged to say that one sticking to the principles of the reform party as laid down by Blease will be working for the upbuil^in^ and uplift of ail, the people of South Carolina." A Late Slander. Governor Blease denounced in I strong terms an advertisement whicn had been circulated in Greenvlllt. ctunty against him to the effect that the "mill presidents and camp followers fought Manning in the first primary and are still fighting him because Manning refused to order thr * - * J ft-vil-ino ! militia out to snoot ao* U LUC 0l.im>u0 , workers at Brogon mills, and that Manning refused to veto the docking law, and that Blease would have vetoed these laws, and if elected woul! have them repealed." This was the substance of the advertisement. Mr. Blease cited the record of Manning against these measures when ht *?as a member of the general assembly, sayng thr.t Manning had simply J signed them when he knew tnai a. vcm | by him would be overridden, and ci^d Lit own record as a friend of th; 1: boring people, and said that tho^c present would know what kind of a dirty liar and "other things'' the author of this circular was. The thousands who, were eagerly waiting for every word which he said, yelled their knowledge that the circular was a lie and that they knew Blease was their real friend and that novt I they were going to maKe mm me ucAi, I governor. It took tnirty minutes for Governor Blease to make; his way through the crowd to catch his waiting automobile for Laurens, where h? was scheduled for another speech at I 6 o'clock in the afternoon. Men and women crowded around him so that it was feared the pavilion would give way under the strain. Coming down to Laurens^ he stopped ; a* Fountain Inn, and delivered an ad - ( -*?? mrmtes. He was given j U'css yi ? a cordial reception along the road, although his coming was unheraldeu except in the places where he was scheduled for speeches. Breaks Record. There were some 500 people gathered at the little vilage of Fountain Inn to stop him on his waiy to Laurens. When he reached Laurens tonight he found that in order for him to meet j the demand here he would have to deliver two addresses and he spoke to a big crowd in front of the courthouse and to another big crowd at the IWVitts mill. Governor Blease left here tonight for Columbia. He hast addressed more people today than have ever heen spoken to by any one man in the history of the state in a single day. The Piedmont is solidly with him. John K. Aull. OH- Hell! The Liquid Bottler. , They say sometimes "It's cold as hell." Sometimes they say "It's hot as hell." JWIhen it rains hard it is dry.

I STANDING FIRMLY ON iSAFE GROUND Members Felicitated on Interest He Hi.^ Taken in Canse of j Feminists. . ' Atlantic Qity, X. J., Sept. 9.?The National Uimerican Woman Suffrage association convention in its final business session today, adopted a declaration of principles in which it reitI erated its adherence to the policy ot non-partisanship. Adherence or nostilitity to any party, the declaration said, is to be condemned. The most significant result of thb recent work of the association, the declaration remarks,.is that every political party has put woman suffrage ir. its platform and that every presi dential candidate has expressed himj self in favor of it. One of the resolutions v accompanying the declarations of principles, ah of which were adopted, felicitated the j suffragists "that for the first time a I president of the United States has publicily declared' his belief in woman j suffrage." Delegates questioned the j accuracy of this statement and asked ; if John Quincy Adams, Abraham Lincoln and Theodore Roosevelt had not endorsed suffrage, but the historians among the delegates agreed' that they made no such public indorsements Ty-hile they were president. Other resolutions urged upon the Democratic and Republican parties that, in as much as their platform Indorse suffrage, they pass through congress the federal amendment and also support suffrage legislation in the States of thorough and comprehensive corrupt practice acts. A direct appeal to:the woman suffragists of the country to support the ! Republican candidate for- president in ; return for the service he h^s rendered the cause of equal rights was made j bj Herbert Parsons, Republican nai tional committetman from (New York, I i at the night session. I When Mr. Parsons had concluded Dr. Anna Howard Shaw, who/-pre (sided rose ana saia: I ' I "The one non-partisan thing I can i ray is that which, ever party brings us success^ of that party we will not bt unmindful." ; Mr. Parsons was one of several speakers including Raymond Robins of Chicago, chairman of the last Progressive national convention, who strongly urged votes for women.
