C., Feb. 18, 1911. Hon. Cole L. Blease, Columbia, S. C. My Dear Governor: As you will see from the enclosed clipping from The News and Courier of this date, you are reported to have stated Infer- entlally that you Intend appointing constables lu Charleston, and that, at an early date. Now, governor, as ono of your very good friends, I want to talk to you frankly and In writing about this subject, and will proceed on the old proverb: ‘‘An ounce of prevention Is bettor than a pound of cure.” Jt were useless for me to wait until the thfngTs done and then complain. I do not believe in autopsies. Cou pled with this newspaper report, I can cite you specific instances coming straight from the sheriff of Charles ton, that you not only Intend to ap point constables in Charleston, but men; tented voters of the country. But it foremost Democrat of his-'time by j j s n ocoKanry for the Democratic party, his Intellectual limitations, hut a man |f it is to win against him, to keep Grace’s Charlewton Organ Says It Has Practically Traced Graft Up to the Governor Himself. Under the heading of "Graft and Grafters” Common Sense, the organ of the Grace faction in Charleston, published the following editorial ifl the Issue of May 25: We are publishing on this page a letter written to Governor Blease by Mr. Grace about eighteen months ago. It is the first chapter explanatory of the relations which have grown up between these gentlemen. We ask our readers to weigh every word of it, because it touches the vital question of their self-government. Before Mr. Grace agreed to support Mr. Blease, he asked but one question; and that was what did the governor If elected intend to do toward restoring to Charleston control over her purely domestic affairs? His promise was to give us the lar- g'st possible measure of freedom: and upon this assurance Mr. Grace exerted every effort toward his elec tion and toward the defeat of Mr. Featherstone, who had in the most wanton manner in a speech at Hiber nian hall during the campaign insult ed the people of Charleston by telling them that he did not want their votes that he was a prohibitionist, and if elected that he would do everything in iiis power to take from Charleston WENT DOWN WITH SHIP Classified Column Purr-bred White Rock CockereU—12 to $5 each.

Think for a minute. Tho dispensary law has been on the statute hooka for eighteen years. It has been the football of politics in Charleston during that time. There are more retail licenses here now thaa when it comnienced. The man who is sheriff now was time, and has ever since been, vest al-d, and although h« was at that time .and lias ever since been, vest ed. not only with authority but charg ed with the duty, to enforce it, he has Captain Lord, of Californian, Held Responsible for Great Loss of Life in not Lending Aid and English Board of Trade and White Star Une Severely Criteis d. Blame for the disaster Is charge able directly to the failure of Captain Smith to heed repeated warnings of icebergs ahead, but responsibility for unnecessary loss of life must be shared by Capt. Lord, of the steam ship California, through his disre gard of distress signals. This is tho finding of the Senate committee which investigated the sinking of the Titanic, as prepared ,n a comprehensive speech delivered by William Aldeu Smith, of Michi gan, chairman of the committee. Senator Smith declared that re sponsibility also rests upon the Uril- Isn board of trade, "to whose laxity of regulation, and hasty inspection, the world is largely Indebted for the awful fatality.” In denouncing Capt. Lord, of the Californian, the Senator said the Ti tanic's distress signals were plainly seen from the deck of his vessel, a short distance away. America will leave to England the 1 chastisement of those guilty, assert- ; ed the Senator, and he quoted British i law to show that Capt. Lord might he prosecuted for a misdemeanor. ! Other conclusions presented, In brief, were as follows: i Before th** Titanic departed on her maiden voyage there were no sulli- 11 lent tests of boiler, bulkheads, equipment or signal devices. Officers and crew were strangers j to each other and not familiar with (the ship's Implements or tools, and no drill or station practice took place J and no helpful discipline prevailed. The speed of tile Titantie was .'4 1-2 miles an hour at th*- time of the , accident, although the officers of the Titanic had been advised of the pres ence of icebergs by the steamships Baltic, Acerira and Californian. Passengers were not advised of danger, although President Ismay. of the White Star Dine, who was taking} the vessel's maid* n voyage, was in-, formed. No general alarm was given nor any organized system of safety un dertakt-n. Of the 1,32 4 passengers and 599 members of the crew- on board. th**r*- was room in the lifeboats for only , 1,1 71> persons and because of lark of ly up to the governor hunself. and ordt^y/TUscIpline the boats took off that Is a shameless situation, and <>nfy 794 persons. 12 being rescued back of It all, Is w ho’’ Read and re-, f rnm the water. read the published letter and judg-| officers of the White Star Dine for yourself. \\ ho represents decen- "battled with tho truth” after re- ry an 1 honesty in government In reiving information from their Mon- Charfi-stoti — Martin or Grace? j treal office Monday morning follow ing the accident. Senator Smith condemned "antiq uated shipping laws and overripe ad ministrative boards' and asked that all nations act together in shipping reforms ' New laws,” he said, "will best testify our affection for the dead.” Captain Rostron, of the rescue ship Carpathla, was praised by Sen ator Smith, and he urged that Con gress recognize his valor.

Just one word more. Constables, with hut one exception, in my experi ence, have been inseparable from graft. When you were elected, peo ple who realized that you would be under a great debt of gratitude to me, if you will pardon me for saying so, actually came to me and showed me how I could become rich by con trolling the constables. Of course they did not understand me. My answer waa that I would fight to the lasrttttch to keep the grafting con stables out of Charleston. They have never suppressed the sale of liquor, and they have never seriously tried, but, on the contrary, have aided and abetted Its sale, pro vided that sale brought profits to thetn.
