first speech. '
Candidates were to speak in alpha
betical order.
“I favor allowing the iieople,"
Blease said, “to settle that que.stio’n
(prohibition) at the ballot box. I do
not believe in leaving it to a c-onven-1
tion. I do not l*e!ieve in leaving it to
legislators. I favor letting the proper

Harris rapped government expendi-
tuie.s, which, he said, had grown enor
mously. He also criticized the senate
for refu.sing- to cut federal salaries

“I am in favor of abolis(iing the
tariff except for re\enue only. I am
opp»)sed to the present tariff.”
Blease said he was "liberal” but not
extravagant in his views on appro
priations on slate institutions. “I
am opfM>.st*<l to higher education of the
negn>^ race and favor taxes on white
people going only to education of

.Senator K. D. Smith, the incumbent,
fired a broadside at the federal gov
ei nment.
“We have been for the pa^^ GO
years,” he said, "a conquered^terri
tory (the south). It’s a pretty past
to go up and tell the--pFesident and
the senate what to ^do. Those dog-
