My attention has bech rjtlled to the
fad that tickets for the general elec- 1
Hon are being dit-tributed to voters
In the counties with the name of Cole .
L. Blouse printed thereon in place of
U I. Manning, the regular nominee
for governor of the Democratic party
of tbi* State. In a speech before a
convention of i\ik friends in Colum
bia tin October 2 4. the defeated can
didate in the primary stated that
neither he nor his. friends were
hound by the result o f tli- lute prt-,
nmrv'election in which he was a can- ,
flifSHe. .
Twus man fih'd a pledge to support
•the nominees. State and national, of
the Democratic party and when ho
voted took an-oath to abide the re
sult o’f the jyiniary election and to
support the nominees thereof. When
the State committee met to tabulate
the Teturns and declare the reault
not a protest or contest written oy
verbal was made •on behalf of any,
candidate. «
TUI- flimsy, pretense of fraud with
out offering evidence thereof of the
committee or to the courts of the
State is simply an excuse to. make a
cowardly and covert attack on tha
regular nominees of .the party. These
ballots'that are being distributed will
bo voted by some or they vtoul^ not
be handled in the various-counties of
the State. There are-between 12,000
and 15,000 negroes registered. Un
less the believers in a white man’s
government go to the polls apd-vote
the regular ticket on election day
■ there is danger of its defeat or at
