An old man desiifs to thank you for your gener ous support all this long while. May he nbt, without boasting, but in sin cerity and earnestness, say that he has done his very best for both South Carolina and the nation? Constituted as I am, I could not have done oth erwise. ‘One of the first lessons my good and noble mother taught me was, “if a thing is worth doing at all, it is worth doing well.’ While I was Gov ernor, therefore, I was Governor, as everyonfe in South Carolina knows, not of thfiTillmanltes alone, but of all the people.

Blease as a leader and a states man to be very seriously considered. It seems to have been lost sight of up to this time. He has been in public life since 1890. He came to the front the same year I did. If he Is such a great leader now, more worthy to be followed than Tillman, more worthy of admiration and trust, how has he succeeded all these years in hldiag it?

From the very start I won the love and confidence of a large ma jority of my fellow-citizens; and it was because of the genuineness of mg. Democracy that I was co hated and bitterly opposed. Many good men be lieved I was an office-seeking dema gogue, and could find no language strong enough to express their hatred and contempt. “Two years ago when a test of my patriotism came. I demonstrated to those who had always opposed me that I was not the selfish politician they had judged me to be. No one knew better than 1 the risk I ran in making the Ferguson letter public. I knew it jeopardized my re-election, than to have remained silent. “My frankness, straightforward openness of speech and honesty of purpose—I despise hypocrisy above all other vicee—have thrown me Into many a briar patch, which a more cautious man would have avoided; but I have never lost sight of the Ideals which opened before me at garchy which had ruled the tSate for right to question his moti v e than he has to question yours.

When the demagogue comes | appear until you do learn it along and blinds the people by the glamour of his arts and instills dev iltry and poison into their minds, good citizens must not despair, but redouble their efforts; for the truth is more powerful than falsehood and must prevail in the long run “Again I reaffirm my faith in the people. The battle between privilege and freedom, between equality and favoritism is worldwide and ages old. It baa brought the cataclysm which we are witnessing In Europe today. The people of that continent are struggling to free themselves from the shackles of autocracy and the Di vine right of Kings. It Is a battle be> tween autocracy and republicanism. The contest In South Carolina in 1890 was to overthrow an aristocra cy which had come down to us from colonial days. It was a real revolu tion. in which families were divided, father- against son, and brother against brother, showing that prin ciple and principle alone, moved the people to action. It was my high privilege to lead that movement which emancipated South Carolin- against him and you have no more thoBe who wer ^ former i y T1 n manlte ; wounded during the three houra’ Unjust Dealings. “Then, too, a certain class of our fellow tltlzens have been very unjust and unreasonable in their dealing with the poorer people, treat ing them with no consideration what- eved and shoeing a contempt for them. This is especially true with regard tn those who work in the cot ton mills. In many communities the people in the mill villages are a class apart, looked down upon and not as sociated with. No wonder Socialism and the I. W. W. are getting a foot hold among these citizens of ours. It did not used to be so. and it ought not to be ao now. We all should ad dress ourselves to the remedy lest It bring dire disaster upon the com monwealth; for in the last analysis white unity Is absolutely essential for the continuation of good govern ment. If these poor men are tram pled under foot as they have been taught to believe they are, they will join with any movement, no matter how radical and ultra, to get re venge. This is the secret of Blease's but now Blease shouters, show what Blease has done of a similar char acter. They can not do it, and they owe it to themselves to pause ang analyze things and recover their rea son—if they can They can undo some of the wrongs they have perpe trated and restore the State’s good name, which Blease has made a by word and a hissing. The 25th of August will tell the story, and I watch the result with confidence. (Signed) “B. R. Tillman.” Me. McIntosh and W. R. Richey Have Talk Over Affidavit.

If I life to March 4, 191k, 1 shall die out ond not in harness, as I have always wanted to do. But I shall not worry. Death awaits us all and is Inevitable. I go the way of all my fathers, jand I try to say in all humility and sincerity, ‘Lord, Thy will be done.’ ‘For four years at least manv men in South Carolina have had their eyes on the seat I hold. This is natural be cause of my illness and the expecta tion of my early death. There has been some discussion of it in the newspapers, which was to be expect ed. How curious, fantastic and cruel is human selfishness! But withal how natural a thing it is. It is the only element of human nature which Is universal. I do not complain at it, and I earnestly hope that the man who is chosen will serve the people as faithfully as I have. You may find a man with more ability than I pos sess; you cannot find one who wiH bring to his work ffreater earnest- ' ness and honesty of purpose. , Present Situation. “Under the peculiar circumstances which now exist In Sonth Carolina I hope I may be permitted to say a few words about the present situation in our state without being mlsunler- stood.

That was my greatest work. I taught South Carolinians to know their rights and how to obtain those rights, and the State has made marvellous progress in every way. In education, in some of its aspects, it has progressed more than any of ita sister states: for we have ciem- son and Winthrop as model schools the best of their kind, and, if there were less selfishness and more pub lic spirit, throughout the State, the lamentable ignorance now existing in some sections would soon disappear Rut our common schools in many counties are sadly deficient, and must be improved. A democracy without adequate means for eduoat ing its citizens is bound to be ship wrecked. We can not afford to let our children grow up like weeds. If we do they will choke out all that hold by showing the same respect and consideration for them that we do for others “As for those who compare Blease the man with Tillman the man, they are, for want of a better term, what 1 may call maliciously ignorant. Blease and Tillman were both pdpu lar idols, and there the resemblance ends. 1 had definite ends accom plisli; my personal eharaetei\md pri vate life were always above, re proach; and my integrity was never questioned, save by a few slanderers, who merely asserted without at tempting to prove.
