PORT MILL. 8. C.. SEPTEMBER 22. 1910.
Mr. Blaase's Victory.
In many respects the most
remarkable political campaign in
the history of South Carolina
closed last Tuesday, when Cole
L. Blease won the governorship
over C. C. Featherstone by a
majority of 5,645 votes. If any
public man in the State ever had
to battle against adverse conditions,
in the face of what
seemed overwhelming odds, that
man was Mr. Blease. With
practically no newspaper support,
without a single man of
State-wide prominence espousing
his cause, with stories circulated
against him which if true
were enough to bury any man in
a political grave so deep that he
could never be disinterred, Mr.
Blease has fought his way almost
unaided to the pinnacle of the
State's public life.
However much one may have
dissented from certain of Mr.
? Blease's political doctrines, no
fair minded man can withhold
admiration for the unequal battle
which he has fought?and won.
Four years ago Mr. Blease was a
candidate for the governorship.
He lost. Two years ago he
entered the race against Governor
Ansel, and lost again, though he
received 40-odd thousand votes
in a total of 105,000.- Nothing
daunted, Mr. Blease became a
candidate for the governorship
this year;' for the third time.
Little attention was paid his
candidacy by the press until two
weeks before the first primary.
Then the fact that he was a
candidate to be reckoned with
was partially recognized. In the
first primary, surprise of surprises,
he led the promised leader, Mr.
Featherstone, by more than 3,000
votes. At last the press fully
recognized his strength and at
once began a bombardment of
his private character and public
acts such as South Carolina had
never before known. Through
it all, Mr. Blease continued to
press his candidacy and spent
i! i a j.i
iiitit.' unit-* replying to me assaults
made upon him. Finally the day
of the second primary arrived.
Not a great many of Mr. Blease's
warmest supporters seemed confident
that he would win, hut all
were hopeful. When the votes
were in he again led his opponent.
A majority of .nearly 6.000 South
Carolina Democrats had disregarded
the newspaper predictions
of the direful things they said
would happen to the Commonwealth,
and Cole L. Blease was
elected governor of the grandest
State in the American Union.
Mr. Blease goes into the
governorship with the good will
and support of a substantial
majority of his constituents.
Other thousands who aided his
opponent will wish him well,
and if he makes the governor
his friends say he will make many
of those who voted against him
will become his friends. So far
as this paper's attitude toward
Governor Blease is concerned, he
is a Democrat, this paper is
Democratic?so there is enough
said. We are glad The Times
has been fair to Mr. Blease, that
it had no part in the severe
criticism heaped upon him b>
nearly all the papers of the State.
In its issue of July 7, The Times
said: "The Times thinks thai
Mr. Blease should be treated
fairly. He is a Democrat; he
has paid the assessment of the
executive committee to enter the
race; in the canvass he is conducting
himself as becomes s
*
gentleman, and he is entitled to
; fair treatment, both by the
writers for the press and the
public."
Room for Revision.
An educational publication is
authority for the statement that
| "the commission to revise the
1 school laws of South Carolina is
! making commendable progress."
i Let us hope so; there is room for
' revision?of the right sort?and
! the entire State will be under
; tasting obligations to the commission
if it suggests changes in
the law to remove the defects
which are apparent to practically
every patron of the public schools.
One feature of the present system
which should demand the attention
of the commission is the
method of "teaching" the little
fellows in the primary grade.
The fault in this grade, however,
does not lie with the teachers,
but is due to the action of
the State board in adopting a
; senseless text book. The method
here in vogue of attempting to
teach the child to read before it
has learned the alphabet is a rattled-brain
innovation that should
be relegated to the limbo of things
that were. It is humbuggery and
injustice to the child.
