Not only is the idea of former Governor Blease I for a convention cc the Reform pariy ! to nominate candidates from United, States senator on down meeting witli omfiTUT f Vl O RftfftmiPPS a Li n i \ ci Jscii ia> vi aiuuut, -T but the anti-Reform party is taking ; up the suggestion and some of il3 ' members are urging that it do like- j * wise, thus having two straight tick- ! ets in the Democratic primary. This ' would really mean .two white men's 1 parties in South Carolina recognized ( by the Democratic party, and within j the party, just as there are now two t parties in fact.' and it would amount j simply to a recognition of conditions i as they are. The York News, a straight-out an-! ti-Reform newspaper says: "Governor Blease and the so-called ^ Reform party have thrown down the' F gauntlet for the campaign of 19IS. ' p 14r.

Governor Manning has stated that he will not be a candidate for any office and Senator Till- j L man is entirely noncommunieatlre a? ||i| to his plans. In the meantime, it is ' I practically certain that Mr. Blease ^ will be a candidate for the United States senate, and a convention or caucus of reformers will practically . nominate a full ticket, as they did ( In the March convention of 1S90. We think those opposed to Blease and ! Bleas-ilsm should recognize the fact' that there are two distinct factions in this state and govern themselves accordingly. We believe that the an ti-Blease crowd should have coun?y J J J-1.- X t^uveutjuus auu. sena aeiegai.es 10 Columbia and nominate a full ticket from United States senator to coro- 1 irer to oppose Blease and Bleaseism. ' The convention ought to write a strong, progressive platform and ;se-; lect its strongest and best men to represent the anti-Blease faction. N \ statft twr? narHac! T%o present state of politcal degeneracy in South Carolina is largely due to the fact that it is a one-party state. If each faction nominated its own aadidates aad fought out the polit:-, cal issues in a Democratic primary. ; we would practically have two par- \ tie* in tiie state instead of one. If , a candidate were defeated as tne I *ominee of his party or faction, it I i would not bring him the same humilietion as it now lea-; *hen he is i I representing tm w* hut himself an<* j | responsible to no .fp"t-'on or party ror ! k the views exnres?.Gl ani advocated by him upon th? stomp. fo The Xaws j Wp advocates the plan proposed by for: mer Governor Blease nnd hones that " his onponents w;ll accent the char- ; T lenge. meet in Colombia, rominate a | full ticket for .ill stato ar?d county i offices to oppose Blease and Blease- j ism. The state executive committee ' find the convention "which meets in Columbia should put every safeguard around the ele?f,!on so far as to in ure a free ballot and a fair count. If a majority of the white voters or ^ Sohth Carolina want Blease ancr , Bleaseism it is the duty of the minor- j itr to submit to the w'U of the people j ftar\ it f V?<"? J ?- ' ?- ov, u wo liinjvi ilj i? vpyoaeu to j Blease and Bleaseism. they ought to j ubmit without .''owliiuj about fraud ^ and the purchase of votes." The York New.-? editorial is exactly i fn line with the interview of forme? ! Governor Blease. published In Trie ' Charleston American, upon which the j -News bases its suggestion. Carried! . out it would mean, in reality, that In j many instances better men could T>e j ^ obtained for office than can be under j the present system?and it would ( y clarify the issues. For instance. vit j A is a substantial business or prorcs- j ' sional man and von id make an ?xcel- j lent member of the general assembly, ; ' . tut he will not file his pledge ana go j \ into a hurdle race, because personally j &is desires do not run in the line or j politics, though he would be willing j to serve his people in the house or j senate if they really wanted his ser- j vices, and if he was called upon as | the candidate of his faction he would j be willing to take his chances of j election in order to be of such ser- j vice as he could. The same principle 1 would apply to the filling of state j 1 offices, and if the two factions should j r meet in convention each could put j forward its venr best men. who would : > " ' into the primary as candidates j of their factions fnd not in their In- j "dividual capacities. |??( It has been suggested also that ; th's plan would go a Ion? ways to- j wards allaying much of the bitterness " wards allaying much of the bitterness which now is engendered by a state ] camnaisn. because personalities; I would be overshadowed'by issues. For] instance, such abusive campaigns as' m .iave been made against Mr. Biease^J would probably be eliminated. j u . j \T U'Jiis plan would alco ,eliminate : what is known as the "undesirable.1' candidate" without sufficient follow-'a ?ing to justify his making a race, for it is hardly probable, after the twoj m factions had met in a proper consti-1 r,? tuted convention and nominated their j v> tickets, that any man would run as! an independent because it is to Ueim presumed that each faction would inline up solidly behind its own ticket, j111 Much time on the stump would also; be saved, because there would fceMn only two candidates for each office j M and every one would have an oppor- j ^ tunity properly to present his claims | a( tr> tho nennlp j bl tv r ( Us showing the good faith of the I w former governor in the matter, he re- j 1 plied as follows several days ago to j *n a very close friend of a prominent 1U gentleman who is now mentioned as a j candidate for governor on the Reform ticket. The gentleman to whom Mr. j Blease wrote is also a close personal i friend of Mr Blease. "I expect to j0 take no part in the * pernor's raca ^ until after the Reformers have spok-! g( ? *? - - "onr) rr*Vi ftn thftV ; iL en. JMir. DlCdSrC oaiu, auu muuu v--wV , shall hav^e spoken I shall fight to the! t0 last ditch for the man that they agres' upon. As between several aspirants on our side, it -would be impossible t0 for me to be honest with them and 113 -with myself and work for any one to _ receive the nomination of the party. ~ I have already stated this to four prospective candidates for governor on our side, and each of them seems to be satisfied with my statement to that effect, and I shall so act." This position will be strictly , adhered to by former Governor biease. It may be possible, in order to carry out the suggestion, that it would be advisable to amend the present; rules of the party, as, under the con-1 struction placed upon them by some, j a ticket within the party nominated j vtt <1 rivonHnn would be barred, j The rules, however, could easily be j changed to meet the situation, and -even if they were not, they would be technically complied with, and two straight tickets put into the field, rt would be far better, however, to make the rules conform, and to give each faction representation on the board of managers of election at each precinct?two members each. This would nn^ ryf frAUd. i pre VCUl 11 a uu auu ? , and the people vrould be satisfied as to the honesty of the election. As a matter of fact, the anti-reform j party, at its famous "elimination** j roeet;ng, at the Jefferson hotel in the campaign of 1914, in response to the 'demand of the anti-reform press, put most^ of its gubernatorial candidates out of the running. This was simply the convention idea in a negative form, and really resulted in the election of Mr. Manning as governor. ThA riiios should be amended so as to allow the Reform party, the anti reform party, the prohibitionists, anti-prohibitionists or any other party to nominate ? ticket within the democratic primary. Tvhere the differences could be threshed out, and then a united front put in the general election* thus continuing to keep out the negro vote as a factor in political contests between white voters. 'That the Reform party, at least, is j going to agree upon a straight tick- j et. there seems to be little doubt, j The members of the party are demanding it, and a convention will be held to determine the course of the party.
