CANDIDATES NOW MCK BLEASEISM RICHARD I. MANNING EJECTS QUESTION IN RACE AT ORANGEBURG. URE OF PARDONING POWER Law Enforcement Comes to Front In Discussions?Education is Not so Prominent in Recent Meetings. The trip last week of the State campaign party completed the circuit of the low country, where it has been for the last seven weeks. From now ?n until August 20 th8 candidates for state offices will make their pleas for suffrage in the Piedmont section and because of the much larger number of voters they must face it is expected that attacks on the public records of candidates will play an important role in electioneering. The meetings last week were at St. George, Orangeburg and St. Matthews on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday, respectively. At each meeting where statements bearing on the senatorial race wer6 made it was very evident that the sentiments of the audience were in favor of E. D. Emtth, candidate for re-election as United States senator. In striking contrast, however, was the political meeting and picnic at Filbert on Friday, when friends of the governor were far in the majority. The meeting at Filbert in York oounty was not a scheduled meeting of the c&nuidates and there were onl^ a few present. R. I. Manning Ejects Bleaseism. Richard I. Manning of Sumter, candidate for governor, furnished the sensation of the week when at the Orangeburg meeting he injected the question of Bleaseism into the race. It came unexpectedly as Mr. Manning had constantly pleaded that factionalism be laid as'de, and for this very reason he was taken to account at the meeting at St. Matthews by W. C. Irby, Jr., and Charles Carroll Simms, candidates for eovernor. and friends of the governor. "The one tremendous issue before the people of Stfuth Carolina In this campaign,"..Mr. Manning in part, wn The condition of demoralization brought about by Gov. Blease's administration, or wh.ei.her a man stands with these wishing the perpetuation of the policies of the present administration with its lawlessness or whether he stands at the head of that other element which thinks the present administration is a disgrace to the state." Mr. Manning went on to say that he was not attacking the pereonal record of Mr. Blease. "I am here to tela you," continued Mr. Manning in his denueiation, "that Gov. Blease's administration has been a disgrace to South Carolina. Our state is held up before the eyes of the civilized world as a state disgraced. She cannot show her face amcyag her sister states without blushes of deepest shame She has been humiliated; Hhe has been dragged in the mire. Will you allow this thing to continue?" he cried aloud, - - ? ? J M? ana many voice* unswereu ?>u. .?i?. Manning had the audience with him throughout this exoriation and when he finished a storm of applause buret forth that outdistanced the impersonal attacks of other candidates. Mentioned For First Time. Except by the friends of Blease this was the first time that his name had teen mentioned by the gubernatorial candidates. The attacks hitherto have been directed against the abuse of the pardoning power and the noa-eaforcenaent of law, with eepecialy reference to race-track gambling In Charleston and the presence of "blind-tigers" in Oofambla, Charleston and other cities of the elate. These attacks have almost to variably been commended by a large majority ef each audience. Rleharda Makes Statement The Orangeburg mooting brought out interesting features In the race Cor governor on the aide of the administration candidates. John O. Bicharda made this statement: "I aba 11 stand for a strict enforcement of tbe law with fairness to all our people and without partiality to an?. I believe, however, that Justice should be tempered with merer." W. C. Irbjr, Jr., and Charles Carroll Slmma, candidates for governor, who hare been friends of Gov. Blease for many years, stated that they were making their race on their own platforms and that their friendship for Mr. Blease was based en personal opinion. "If elected governor," said Mr. Slmma at Orangeburg, "Blease ie not going to control me." Earlier In the mec'.I.ng Mr. Irby, In reply to the question of an auditor, stated that he b had often refused to sign petitions ^ for paroles and pardons, though he ? thought at the time that it would have ai been within reason to do so. Mr. Simms, in addition, has continued to bi attack .Mr. Richards for his friendship b to so many administrations that have D ! been at variance with each other. He sl ; has als<? taken Mr. Richards to account for his varying stands on the ri liquor question. w With the issues of law enforcement fr ar.d the judicious use of pardoning | power coining so strongly to the front I the question of compulsory education has not been so prominent in the last T G week as earlier in the campaign. It F Is still discussed on every stump anr W I by nearly all the speakers, with widely n< variant atltudes. All are in favor of w I expanding education among the white people, but the question of the eduea- A ! tlon of the negro, who are in a ma- S ' jorky in this state of almost a quarter fr ! of a million, continues to bob up as cl i an argument against compulsory edui cation. ei ! Clinkscale8 Decries "Nigger Scare." b< John Q. Clinkscales, candidate for m governor, is the sole advocate of a is statemide compulsory school attend- b; ance law and continually decries the ly "nigger scare" advanced by some of ti his opponents as an argument against , the education of the whites. Robert j A. Cooper advocates "provision and | ample school facili'ies," with especI ial care that the chi.dren of the coun- cc ' try districts be as well piepared to go at J to school as the children in the cities, ^ . before the enactment of a law that J would force all children into school. He stated also that a statewide school attendance law at this time could not be enforced. 2." Against Compulsory Education. In As against these positions on compulsory education are the statements w of Mendel L. Smith and Richard I. pc Manning, who advocate local option in the questions of education and liquor. Lowndes J. Browning of Union, can- ;a , didate for governor, has not advocated *n any general system or plan of educa- w' tion, but has stated that a statewide G< compulsory education law would in- is crease the tax levy five mills, which n< the people of the state are not pre- se pared to stand. Charles A. Smith has I said that he was in favor of any step g( I that would advance the cause of edu01 cation in this state. Directly opposed to these view3 of the compulsory education issue is that of John G. Richards, who states that he le fundamentally opposed to compelling education on Anglo-Saxon people. Mr. Richards \ argues that it will elevate the negro child at the expense of the white child. Against this argument is the prediotion of Mr. Clinkscales that if the present conditions are allowed to , 111 continue for 15 yea-s that there will | be more negroes than white people I (|uannea 10 vote cu iuw cA|inaui/u vi i I that time. i ni Advocate Rural Credits. i ( Lowndes J. Browning and W. C.. I Irby, Jr., aro strong advocates of the | enactment of a rural credits law, j which will enable farmers to own n< their farms and homes. Mr. Browning i and Mr. Irby would like to see the , 1:1 ; state loan money at a low rate of ! interest to prospective white farmers J,( ' and to the present farmers, so that sj | they can remain in the country as \\ | producers instead of going to the cities v. and becoming consumers. They potnt ll: out that the general exodus of fami-) I lies from the country to the city and . j the large number of tenant white I j, i farmers should be decreased by aid ;\i from the state treasury, as these who j C develop the farms of South Carolina ? represent the backbone and material | prosperity of all people in the state. : "We need more white farmers on ! small farms," pleads Mr. Browning. 1 in Wants Demonstration School. Mr. Cooper In the field of agricul- te tural development advocates that a ?f farm demonstration school under the ly direction of Clemson Agricultural yi College be placed in each county. >(]i This s<^ool by pract'cal demonstration ! y< can show the farmers the lateet aids i m la farming. As an Immediate good of such schools Mr. Cooper calls attention to the production of scientists that ths J( boll weevil will reach South Carolina ni in about five years and that all farm- el era should be made acquainted with P the best meaos of hampering the ad- P ranee of this pest that has put many to farmers in Texas, Louisiana, Mississippi and Alabama into bankruptcy. Mr. Cooper maintains that South Carolina is essentially an agricultural * state and that aid should be given in ; all ways practicable to help the oon-! dttions of the farmers. The races for minor offices have { waned In interest as the campaign I draws near to its end, and as the question of the selection of a chief executive on August 25 must be made from eleven aspirants to that position. The quartette of candidates for lieutenant governor, Andrew J. Bethea, William M. Hamer, J. A. Hunter and fl B. Frank Kelley, have confined themselves lately to gentle prods at the records of each other and the sallies >r the most part have been accepted j the audiences i nthe best of humor tr. Bethea bases his plea for suffrage n his work as Gov. Ansel's secretary nd his present position as code corm ilssioner; Mr.* Hamer, not having E'en in public life before, holds up is record as a business man in illon; Mr. Hunter and Mr. Kelley jeak of tlveir work in the legislature, le former l>eing a representative from amberg county and the latter a rep 'sentatlve and later a state senator om Lee county. The candidates for railroad comrais oner, six in number, vary little in le presentation of their platforms, he candidates are James Cansler, eorge \V. Fairey, C. D. Fortner, rank W. Shealey, J. H. Wharton and J. I. Witherspoon. Mr. Cansler has ot been with the party for many eeks on account of sickness. The race for comptroller general, . W. Jones, incumbent, and James A. ummersett. opposing him, continues cm day-to day with the same larees. Thomas H. Peeples, attorney gen al and candidate for re-election, has ?en absent from a majority of the eetings in the past few weeks. He opposed by A. G. Brice, who day v day prefers the charge of "masterinactivity" against the administraon of Mr. Peeploa.
