hoard Monday by about 1,(KK) voter?,
the audience was attentive, and while
not very demonstrative, aoeorded the
speaker* close attention. The major*
ify remained ui;til the two women1 .can

had completed fchoir addresses. Wiu.

isinoe the first meeting. The only ab
sentees were J. J. Cantey, candidate
for Governor, and Samuel M. Wolfe,
Attorney General. The weather was
very warm.
dole T/. Blease was the first s]>eaker
In the Governor's division. Ho de
clared thatthe State wasted efficien
cy in the administration of its af
fairs, hut It also wanted eeonemy. He
cited figures showing the increase in
(be appropriation IblMs since 1914,
when lie was Governor, and declared
that money for new offices made up
about one-third of the total. He de
srribod tHe tax commission as being
a fifth wheel made and put under the
body of the State government, he
claimed people who be had pardoned
had made good citizens, and those who
had Im'cii crying for law and order
"had essayed hell."
John T. Duncan declared that "we
Hewed crime and we are reaping it.''
Hp recited the letter which Blease is
credited with having written to Joe
Tolbret and declared Blease to be jeal
ous of Republicans getting to the pie
counter before he could. He said Mo
I .cod was Edward W. Robertson's
choice for Governor and Tjwney sec
ond choice.
(Jeo. K. T.ane.v was preseented with
several bunches of flowers at the con
clusion of his speech. Ho opened l>y
stating that he was an optimist, and
if elected, would lead the people out
of the wilderness of their present trou
bles. ITn asked If the fathers And moth-"
ers wanted to go back to 1014 with
iJieir school system and a little boy
about six years old called out, "no,
we don't," this "brontfrtit forth the
prediction from the speaker that the
youngster would some day l>o Gov
ernor. Tie declared that he was for
economy, hut not for false economy,
and that if the appropriatfon were
<nt in tlie saving would amount to no
more "them a puff of a cigarette in
:i. hailstorm." his remedy for the sit
uation is to shift, the burden of taxa
tion ami tax other sources. He would
relieve property of all taxes.
Thomas G. MeTycod declared there

indirect taxation. Education is the

as a political organisation in su import
of her candidacy hut declared that
she-was glad to say that .she had the
endorsement of tfhese organizations and
was proud of it.
The issue- between Mr. I!o]>e ami
Mr. Swearingen was raised by tibe for
mer who spoke abend of the present
Superintendent of Education. Charg
ing that the Hoard of Education lmd
changed over half of the text books
for the coming session. Mr. Ilajx'
claimed that the list of text l?ook
adoptions had been withheld from the
proag and public and was being with
held until after the election.
In reply to the charge of Mr. Hope,
Mr. Swearingon said that 20,000 copies
of the text book adoption had l>eei)
"printed arid the most of them were
distributed. Anyone can get a copy
of tlie adoptiou upon request, he wild.
Mr. Swearingon said that the manu
script of the adoption list was for
warded to the daily papers immedi
ately after l>eing adopted and that Jt'hc
News and Courier promptly repro
duced it. while The State published it
early in June. All rounty and daily
newspapers were requested to publish
it, he stated. Mr. Swearingen said
the 14,000 additional copies of the
adoption will be included in the teach
ers' registers.
Mr. Hope did not con-fine his at
tacks 011 the present methods of the
Board of Education alone. He told
the voters of Kershaw county that
th'ey owed over .$13,000 that the State
owed them, the State falling short that
amount in (laying the county of Ker
shaw what it promised to pay in sujv
porting the public school* of -the
county. "They returned to you 74 j
cents of each dollar yon turned in,"
he said. "That is the kind of busi
ness they did with you last year and
you will have to go down in your
pockets to pay it. They guaranteed
you seven months school terms and
you did not Ret t.liem. I have been
culled a 'sore headed book agent' and
even n 'kaiser'. Thrat is just a smoke
?? '
barrage they have been tryine to lay
down to conceal the facts." He said
that the Hoard of Education had de
cided to change the text book adoption
even after the county superintendents
had advised against If. and in the face
of the fact that text hooks were from
100 to 200 per cent higher than was
previously the case, lie declared that
there wrts a great duplication of books,
there l>eing duplicated sets of troogra
phys, algebras, geometry* ami other
text books, with the result that a
teacher may choose any set lie or she
desires which brings about extra ex
cuse to parents, especially when the
child moves from one school to anoth
er.
Mr. Ho|?e promises to remedy the ex
ist ing situation, as described by him,
if elected.

olina. rejoices at the victor of War
ren <!. Harding over James >1. Cox,
Democrat, and over the downfall of
"idealism."
The <-opy in full follows:
Yours of May 10, asking for certalu
information, received. 1 will answer
you frankly.
As to C. C. Ca'm|<il>eH of Columltfa,
S. the common remark I hear
around here, and have heard parties
make from oilier parts of the state i s:
"Some jHHvple in South Carolina nmy
want to ?o into a new party, but they
are nol going in as followers of Cauip
hell, who is a Yankee; for you remem
ber thai it wa s the Northern rene
grades ami scalawags who took the
nigger and used him that gave us all
of our (rotates from TSGT> to. lftTfl.*'
Therefore, you will see that his lear
ershiip Will not go far in South Caro
lina.
As to J. T,. McLaurln, 1 presume it j
is unnecessary for me to make any
remarks. His record in 1lie senate of
the United States, the Archbold loiters,
his attempted deal of 1012. his com
plete breakdown as a candidate for
governor in the state recently, and hia
general political record, are as well
known to the people in Washington as
(bey are to the people of south Caro
lina. It would be absolutely impossi
ble for him to build up any following
in this state of any considerable pro-1
portions.
If the patronage in this state shou'd
l?e given to Campbell or McLaurln, or
Campbell and MeLfluriu, they could
not build up a corporal's guard, that,
would go outside of the Democratic
primaries, where they would be de
prived of voting for their county offi-.
cers as well as their United States
senftfbrs and congreswnen and their
state officers to follow those people
into the Republican (party. Conse
quently. as far as 1 have been able to
learn, very little credence is given to
the CampbeH'Mlur/aurin talk; in faet,
It is look?Ml ujKm as a joke by those
who have any influence and who know
that these "men can not breik iroto the
Democratic ranks.
I certain Kv can state that yon have I
boon n lifelong Republican; that you j
have gone through Atronunus times
a n<l that yoiir life has oft on Jkmmi nt
stake, an<l that through it all you
have Ik'ou tried and true; and if, after;
all these-years of service and devo- j
tion to your party the Republicans,
would now kick you out, T (*an hardly |
think that* they would harp much of
an opportunity to ??ot any one hero to (
foMow them, because the people here"
would realize that no matter how do-'
voted the service they might render,
their labors would not ho appreciated.
I can hardly see how, aftor n thorough
investigation, It could he possible for
you to he turned down a* the leader
of the Republican party in this' state,
and as for the forming of a new party,
with Oamjrfboll or McLaurin, or both,
such talk is n myth, a farce and plain
dammed foolishness.
You are at liberty to road this let
ter to whom you please, or publish it
if you wish, as T presume everybody
know* that I speak what I think re
gardless of oonsequonops. T have writ
ten you freely as you requested mo to
do. I am a Democrat ; not a Wilson
socalled Democrat, but a Jefforsonian
I7emoerat, who rejoiced at Harding'*
election and the downfall of idealism,
which its nothing but fresh-made
graves, widows, orphan* and billions
of dollars taxes, under the gui??o of
liberty. We have less liberty now
than we have over had and fewer prlv
ileges as n result Wil-?on and hi*
lienohmen.
If you see my friend, Jim Davis, sec
rotary of lal>or, (jive him my love, and
tell him that, if Cob* Rlease fan do
anything for him, to "holler" and ho
wi'J bear and answer.
Very ros|>ecf.fully,
('Signed) Cole TRleasc.
