SoE BLEASE URGES LIBERTY LOAa Former Governor Assists in Bringing Bond Issue Up to Quota Charleston American. Columbia, Oct. 21.?Former Gover-1 nor Blease today issued an appeal to the reformers of South Carolina to; come to the rescue of the state in subscribing her quota of the Libertvj bond issue. While in war matters, he says, the Reform party in South Carolna has been ignored and discriminated against by the civil authorities of the state, notwithstanding the pa.-. tj's loyalty as conclusively shown by the personnel of the South Carolina! troops, yet in this Liberty bond campaign, so important to the nation, the' members of the party should, as they| bare always dene, do their full duty *ad see t It that the state fully sub- ' scribes its apportionment. The formers governor's statement follows; "Long since it was seen that South terolina's place in the war was to De overshadowed by the ignorance and improper management of those tem porarily in civil power in the stato. Through the manner of forming th9 National Guard, the refusal to permit a third regiment to be organized, ana the method of the appointment of officers, the individuality of the South f Carolina organizations has been lost; one of our regiments has been brigaded with a regiment from another state. i;nder a brigadier from another state, another regiment has been disin-l tegrated, and the various commands are scattered everywhere. It was this bad management in the beginning which caused South Carolina to fall short in raising a brigade of National A a.rrar\ +n fill the ranks of her Vrlliuu, vi Ejbu w two regiments, and the result is that it has been necessary to fill the ranks * of these regiments with conscripts, j We would never have had what we did go into the with, however, had notsh the Reform party come to the rescua of those who were 'clamoring for war' j and a poll will show that a large ma- j jority of those now compsing what ; were nee the South Carolina organiza j tions are members of our party, an3 j if we had not been ignored and dis - j criminated against?if we had been permitted to give the state a third, regiment?the Palmetto brigade would have m'arched into France, ner filled with volunteers, with her full' asmber of commissioned and non-j commissioned officers, with privates i left at home begging to be admitted, j the Palmetto flag waving side by side, -with the Stars and Stripes, and a South Carolina brigadier in command? and South Carolina standing as she stood at Cherubusco and at Manassas, and as she has ever stood in the do- j ' fepse of the rights and liberties of ?ur, homes and our people. But prejudice! and ignorance here at home, displayea j ?-? * ? K/VMino' VnVh state office, have] By IUWSC Alv/iUiiij, ?-o ? "barred her sons from this grand priv-j ilege?not, however, from the privilege j of doing their full duty as South Car- j linians wherever they may be placed. | "Now, again, through ignorance and; Prejudice, failure stares the antiReform party of South Carolina in the face. Their sneakers and their ^ewp-^arrrs, with their pleadings anfl their prayers, have failed to raise this1 state's quota of subscriptions to the Liberty bond issue.
