Mease's Chance <?oiie.
( I toa ufort < Iilitel to. t
.Mm.ii has been said sitae Tuesday'*
(>rluuiry election ahout the Governor's
into. There are those of Mr. mease's
supporters who have expressed the
opinion < | ? i 1 1> fret I y that because their
ca 1 1 ? 1 1 ? I iir 'ends .Mr. Manning hy twen
ty 'nhl I honsa od \ote.-'. Manning will
he imaMo to o\ e 'eoine the lead ill the
seeoml primary.
i'rohanly the wish Is father to the
tliaight. Hut we oaunot see It that
way. Tin re are a certain number of
people In South Carolina who arc sat
isfied with that Kind of a Governor ?
some who prefer hiui. Hut they are
not in a majority. All who wanted a
man of Hloase's stamp voted for Hlease
last Tuesday. They are not In a ma
jority. Why then should any one think
that they will he in a majority two
weeks later?
Compare Hloase's vote on the 29th
with that which his supinators cast
two years ago. It amounts to ahout
the same tiling. Yet Hlease was heat
en hy- ahout twenty thousand votes
then, about 'the same number that he
haul .Manning hist Tuesday. That his
vote has not increased materially In
two years Is very apparent from the re
turns. ( >f course. II looks hlg, because
It is all concent rated on one man. while
tiie op|M?slt ion- Is divided between two.
It may he said that all of the Coop
er vote will not go to Manning. Hut
there are very few that will not. How
ever.' it is not only the Cooper vote that
Manning has to depend on. There are
the thousands of apathetic voters, who
t bought It was a toss up between Man
niug and Cooper. and did not care
which would .win, hut felt contidclit
that Hlease was a hack number. That
Ire stood little or no chance. These
men are aroused from their dream of
safety. They see that there Is a dan
ger If they do not make their wishes
known. They will turn out the next
time in a way that will pile up no in
significant majority for law and order.
The only possible chance that Hlease
ever laid was that he might slip in
while the thinking, intelligent voters,
with the I test interest of their Com
monwealth al heart, were lulled into a >
false sense of security Now til-It the
da Hirer has hecn seen his opportunity
i- gone.

The otlieial return-. f? ? c Spartanburg
eoiinty show that there were polled in
the Governor's ia?v votes, and
1 I of these were anti Hlea.se Votes,
so that the ? ??tint \ went 77'J against
the former governor. Mr. Hlease's vote
was l.ol'J. The enrollment in this
county is more than eleven thousand,
which shows that pra?-t h-all.v twelve
hundred -voters 'did not < n^t their bal
lots last Tuesday.
It Is well to have these faets in mind
for in the second priniarx. if those cit

If all the voters In I he State who
