The necessity of the nntl-ltloaso vot ers of the Slate to center on one can didate In the governors' race Is readily apparent. NVlth four openly known Itloaso 'candidates on tho eoattall plan, and seven anil Please a ml miscellane ous oandldat'es dividing the nnti Please, vole. It Is easy to s??e that tho Itloaso side, though' In the minority, might win ? out. Messrs. John <!. Richards, \\ II 1 la m <\ Irby, Jr., Charles Carrol Sims. J. It. A. Mul lally are openly announced supporters of (ioveruor Itlease and would no doubt ordinarily divide up tho Itlease voters, who. whether their numbers be largo or small, will vote according to the itlease plan and dic tation, without regard to individual preferences or minor dlflcreuees of platform. Composing the Held opposed to these and mnde up of known and distinctly antl Itlease candidates, with other miscellaneous candidates who have not boon strongly Identlllod with either the Itloaso or ant 1 Please side, are Messrs. Kichard 1. Manning. John U. Cllnkscales, Mendel L. Smith, Rob ert A. Cooper, C. A. Smith, I/nvndos J. Hrownlng. John T. Duncan. Here are four candidates to divide the vote on one side and seven to divide the vote on the other. t In addition to this, it is now dis closed that Governor Itlease has a se cret campaign organization at work I which i* said to lie bending its efforts] to center the Please supporters on John ! (j. Richards, the "four week* old Please baby" candidate. Just how accurate, this may lie we don t pretend to know.j but we should think it would l?e tbe j obvious plan of governor Itloaso s or gaulzatlon to eeiitor tho Itloaso sup porters 4n the tlrst primary on two of their candidates. Messrs. Richards and Irby. for instance. w?th a view of get ting two Please candidates in the sec ond primary and thus excluding the antl.ltlea^ side from the race after tho tlrst primary. There might ho fair hope for obtaining thi^ result against seven other candidates dividing the an tl-ltleaso vote, providing, of course, the anti-ltloiiso side should not adopt the same tactics and center on one or two men as the case might bo. The situation presented, It seems to us, dictates the advisability of tho pa triotic voters who are convinced of the necessity for saving tho State from the blighting pestilence of ltloasclsm cen tering their votes on one, and certain ly not more than two candidates. Why not. in fact, center on one can didate and end the agony with the tlrst primary? The thief object, tlrst last and all tho time, of the anti Rlease side Is to put an end to ltloaseism once and for all. All minor issues and dif ferences of platform arc insignltioant compared with this one overshadowing issue and every other interest should l>e subordinated to the defeat and per manent burial of ltloaseism. Wo confess we hail fondly hoi>odj that with the defeat of Governor Itlease himself the State would be rid of ltloaseism, which spells nothing .1MB than anarchy and '-perpetual factional twin it ml strife among i lie Whoever should Im elected governor we < 1 1?

In discussing the ugly affair at the Senatorial meeting at (Jreenvllle last Saturday, t lie Daily Piedmont of that ' " - . -v*. * city say a in part: "lint, regardless of any impropriety in the way in which Mr. Norwood's question was asked, Governor Bleasc Was unjustified in his response, no mat ter how much that reply may have been In keeping with the ' custom so many public speakers indulge in of in suiting those who ask them questions. \Ve preHiiine that Governor ltlease did not know who asked the question as Mf. Sonvooil was sitting to the ajdc and rear o? the shaker. But the ask ing of the question did not make the man, as JUeasc vailed' him, "a dirty contemptible coward." lie could have replied in a more dignified and effective way and a way less ca leu la tiki to start something which might end in blood shed and death. '?'Again, the blame shifts. Mr. Nor wood could have afforded to tempor arily or permanently ignored the in sult, but he was not Justified in using, nor is" any man. ever justified in using, the epithet that he applied to the gov ernor. Had what he said been heard by others than the few closest to him, his curse being drowned in the uproar, bloodshed would have been inevitable. lUea.se. may be . even U worse coward than his bitterest enemies aver they believe him, but he would have had to have been held had he heard it. Had hands been laid on him, the crowd would have torn the stand down and there would have been promiscuous lighting and shooting. "Greenville should thank God that the incident passed off with no worse features than attended It." ? Kvery voter should remember that If he casts his ballot for a lawless man he becomes responsible for law lessness. The man who winks at the violation of one law will soon wink at the violation of another. Charleston has been allowed for the past three years to violate the liquor law of the I State with Impunity, and, now that city is also allowed to violate the race track gambling law with the same im punity. and the infection is spreading to other cities and communities. All voters believe or profess to believe In the divine law of' Clod that "A ruler should be a terror to evil doers," and,' when with your ballot you uphold any J one for any otllee who Is not only not a terror to evil doers but a true and tried friend of criminals, you are en couraging crime, you are opj>osing the highest and best Interests of your conn* ty and state, and you are fighting against the eternal principles of Al mighty (iod, and, sooner or later a just retribution will be visited upon you, and, the poor and needy man, who lias only bis one vote and who actually needs protection, will suffer- at the hands of the political boss who can control several dozen votes. ?

He was urged to do ao by many of his friends. lie haa proven since to l>e a good citizen, and the peo ple of Kershaw County should not hold this against him, and forget the past. I deem him one of the beat men run ning for county Treasurer, and I hope that on the 2&th day of August the voters will all use their better Judg ment and cast their ballots for II. II. Williams for county treasurer. No one will have cause to regret having done so as I have known Mr. Williams for the past 28 years, and have always found him a good faithful officer and worthy of any public trust intrusted to him.
