1 supporter yf Coleman Livingston Blease, the present governor of South Carolina. During the major portii>*i of his speeches he attacks the personal and*public records of his competitors. John G. Richards Is a strong supporter of the governor in the senatorial race that is now being waged. He is strongly opposed to the rules of the Democratic party that were passed at the last meeting of the smte convention for the purpose of safeguarding the primary. He stales that these rules will disfranchise from ir, oon to Ih.ono white Democrats of I the state ?.nd that he foueht acainst j the adoption of such rules in the Ker- i shav.- tounty convention. Hp promises a safe and constructive administra-1 tion. Mr. Richards has been twitted by ' other candidates for his chancing at- j tltrnle towards the liquor question. Tie i says: "In the campaign of 1910 1 i stood for stete-'vide prohibition. I am still n prohobiti" -ist in practice and j from principle but I believe in the j rule of the p op!*. They have declared for local option since 1910 and j 1 sbah. therefore, stand for county lo- j cal option." In the matter of education Mr. j Richards is a stronc antagonist of ; onlinnl n 1 fin H !1 II C O ill flnV 1 ujii}*ui^ui j r?. huv/i uv?vm?v...vv r . form, stating that ii is "repulsive to ; the Anglo-Saxon intelligence to be forced into school by means of a war* j rant." He upholds that compulsory i education will militate against the I white race of the state in favor of the neero, and that in 20 years under , such a law that there would be more : negroes than w&ite people qualified to vote. He is very bitter in his de- j nunciation of this campaign issue. j Charles Carroll Sininis claims that j the platforms and promises of the oth- ! er candidates are "angelic" and that | he shall base his candidacy as a "hu- j man being with the love of the labor- j ing people ever uppermost in bis j heart." He appeals for sympathy to- j ward this great class of farmers, mill i workers and wage earners. Mr. Simms Is opposed to the primary rules of the state Democratic party, upholding that the recent con- j vent ion treated the poor white man with the same medicine given the negroes in 1S7C. He denounces the rules as "an attempt to steal the right of suffrage from the illiterate white men." He brings out the light he made before t.ie courts on the question whether a farmer could he declared a bankrupt. Charles A. Smith is the advocate of ' I'm n.g ! ? fore the legislature the matter of submitting to the people in an crti c . ti ;.'i of outlawing tlio sale of intoxicants in the state. Mr. Smith is at present lieutenant govern-; I ! >Ms tip for inspection his administration in that office. Mr. Smith is also in favor of submitting to the people of each county tho nooction of cnniruilsorv school at tendance. as well r.s any law that will a fleet all people. In eaeli county lie speaks of the per capita amount that county expends In the furtherance of education and asks tlie rhetorical j question whether the people are will- j ing to Increase their taxes for the sake , of making a state-wide law. lie ; upholds also on this issue that South ' Carolina is not prepared to take care of all its children in the mater of education because of lack of ":-*cilities. lie states that the percentage of illiteracy is decreasing through other [ methods. Mr. Smith is in favor of economy j in the state administration and prom-1 ises a conservative government, in J which he will see to it that the laws ! are enforced. Mendel L. Smith, speaker of the; house of representatives, has been ; dubbed the "silver tongued orator" j among the candidates for governor. Day after day he bitterly denounces I the lawlessness in the state and con- i aeimis ine iuuim i iimiiiin- mitnun.; ?>i i pardons. Hp assails t!)P arts and wiles of crafty politicians, who "proinisp ip- i lief to the poor man and who are the last to hrin? relief or lighten the , burden of the poor man." and each clay he delivers a phfllipc against the "blatant demagogue" "Wholesale, ill-considered pardons." Mr. Smith says, "are the greatest 1 curse to the state because they tend , to tea rdown the judiciary, to do away j wiili a wholesome foil/* of punishment | and to turn the minds of people | against the decisions of the juries." Mr. Smith is in favor of local option compulsory education. Tie stands for full train crew legislation, for protection of public health throuch the state hoard of health and a tuberculosis hospital and for good roads. Mr. Smith is a strong defender of the press. In the race for lieutenant governor among the quartette of candidates, Andrew J. Ilethea of Richland county, William M. Hamer of Dillon county. James A. Hunter of Raniberg and R. .Frank Keller of Lee county, there has been a marked tendency of late of heated controvrsy on the public life of fellow candidates Mr. Bethea claims that the four years as private secretary to Governor Ansel of South Carolina and his present position as code commissioner make him familiar with the various departments and the parliamentary rules of state government. Mr. Bethea stands for the education of the people. for law and order and for social democracy. He l as been a farmer, school teacher, state official, lawyer and business man. Mr. Hamer promises an efficient and business-like administration, law and order and education" and anything else that will rive us better conditions in South Carolina than we have today." Mr. Hunter holds up for inspection bis record in the house of representatives from Baniberr for the last two terms. He is in favor of a primary, in which every white man could vote and vote only once?the purpose of the new priyiarv rules. He advocates Ihe prom dion of duration <and aerl culture. nnerai supporr ior rural schools, tho enforcement of law and biennial sessions of the legislature. Mr. Hunter looks on the press as did Thomas Jefferson. Mr. K el ley tells of his election as a member of the house and later as a member of the state senate from I.re county. He declares that South CV.ro Una is now spending too much money for higher education. He has taken his opponent. Mr. Hunter, to task for )' 's vote on questions that came up in ? ceneral assembly, all of which Mr. Hunter has answered, preferring counter charges, to which Mr. Kelley has not hern gl en a chance to reply cither because of absence or the rotation of speecb.es. The race between the two candidates for adb'tant general. \\*. W. Moore rf r> timen, incumbent, and M. C. Willis of York county, flared up /luring last week on account of aV tacks and counter attacks, but has now settled down to a sober disucsion of atack and defense of the present administration of Gen. Moore. Gen. Moore upholds that the National Guard is in better condition than it has been for 20 years, while ("apt. Willis charges that 23 of the companies have been declared below the standard by officials. Items of account in the report of Gen. Moore are criticised and defended. Charges of the loss of equipment have been preferred by Capt. Willis and Gen. Moore answers that subordinates arc under bond end responsible for any ..t. A/.niit* ront Willis: sruriiime IU<IL IIRIV IA I UI. \ ???*?.. declares that the- loss of the Angus', encampment Is chargeable to Gen Moore, who states that this matter was in the hands of the governor. The candidates for attorney general are A. G. lirice of Chester and Thomas H. Peoples of Barnwell, incumbent. Mr. lirice criticises his opponct for "inefficiency and inactivity" in oflicef with more especial reference to the attitude of Mr. Peoples in the disbarment proceedings against C. P. Sims o? Spartanburg before the supreme court. For the office of attorney generalship Mr. Price says that it is merely a question of deciding on a man who can dis barge the duties of the office most efficiently and with the greatest courage. Mr. Peoples says that his record during his two year* as attorney tenoral is an open book. He claims that there have been a greater percentage of convictions for crimes during the past four years than any time previous. II" declares that he lias tried to conduct liis office economically. He asks for re-election, al>o, on the grounds that he has held the office but one term. There are six candidates for railroad commissioner, as follows: James Pansier of York County. George \V. Fa i rev of Calhoun county, ('. I). Conner of Spartanburg. Frank W. Sln-aley of Lexington county, John H. Wharton of Laurens and W. I. Witherspoon of York county. The candidates for comptroller general are A. W. Jones of Abbeville, incumbent, and James A. Summersett of Richland county. Mr. Jones has held the office for the past 12 years and the main plank of ?>Ir. Summersett's platform is "rotation in office," as the true Hemmmtic prineipie. R. M. McCown of Florence county is unopposed for reelection as secretary of stale. S. T. t'nrtpr or Uicniaiiu nmmv is unopposed for re-election as state superintendent of education. E. J. Watson of Richland county is unopposed for re-election as secretary of the department of agriculture, commerce and industries.
