Mr. Whal ey then made the following state ment: “The people of South Carolina and the city of Charleston know this to be a fact, if for no other reason, tht^l that the allegations are fathered by Mayor Grace, whose reputation as a character thief, and whose vile oppo sition tu me, politically and personal ly, is well known to the people of the State ana district.

He kills this rumor with the foregoing statement. It was said that he would be physically unable to make the campaign be cause of ill health. Dr. Clinkscalea stated that he had been campaigning for the past fourteen years flgr Wof ford college and as an apostle of edu cation and that “a little thing” like a canvas for gubernatorial honors would not deter him. Dr. Clinkecales said because he had indiscreetly exposed himself in all kinds of inclement weather thia summer in making his educational speeches, he had contracted a severe cold and had to he confined to hi* r >om for about a week.

Th* se in cluded f>2 persons mentioned as drawer* of Sulzer checks, in the ac count of Louis A. Sareeky, the gov ernor’s campaign secretary, in the Mutual Allianc* Trsst company. This accosnt showed, with checks and cakh, that deposits of 11 4,400 had been made between September 10, 1911, and th* date of the governor’s inauguration. Decision on the question as to whether Sulzer’* alleged misuse of checks given him without restriction as to their use constituted larceny was reserved to give the court an op portunity to investigate the authori ties. The question to the admissibility of the evidence on campaign contribu tions not cited In the articles of im peachment precipitated a heated wrangle among the attorneys. “These transactions—a hundred or more in number,” aserted John lb Stanrhfield, counsel for the proaecu- tion, “constituted a common scheme, a design on the part of the respon dent to display certain contribution? and conceal others. I can see that the failure to report one might have been an accident; two a coincidence, but to fall to account for a bun ired is a crime.’’ Attorneys for the gov*‘rnf>r protest ed that the articles should be treated as an Indictment and that the gov ernor iouM not he tried for offences not alleged In such Indictment.
