CKNTFK ON C'AtyDIDATKS.
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

Yft Appelt Supported Bleaw,
There Is one thing we admire ahout
Hon. Charles A. Smyth, eamlidute for
governor, and the gentleman we ex
peet to vote for. It 1h his manly
speeches, There Is none of the dema
gogue in what he says, nothing of the
glittering halt to catch votes but there
Is a frank statement, and throughout
Ids speeches Char lea A. Smith gives
his hearers the impression that he is
prompted by patriotic motives In Hwk
Ing the high olllec of governor. He ap
proaches It as one who has served in
the ranks and is entitled, on merit, to
promotion. ? Manning Times.

TIIK GRKKNVILLK AFFAIR.
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. ? York

Kratltudo la duo to Mr. Williams for
the faithful aervloe ho rendered while
serving in the capacity of Sheriff of
the county. It Ih true that Mr. Wil

general election, but he entered it at*

election*. He was urged to do ao by
many of his friends. lie haa proven
since to l>e a good citizen, and the peo

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.
