WalhaUa, Aug. 21.—Candidates for
governor at the state campaign meet
ing here today were given the op
portunity to declare their allegiance
to the Democratic party when the
question, “In the general election of
1920 did you vote for Cox for presi
dent and the Democratic ticket?”

chairman, to each of the candidates.
All, with the exception of Cole L.
Blease, hastened to declare their
fealty to the party and to leave no
doubt in the minds of the voters as
to the soundness of their faith in the
tenets of the party. Mr. Brown first
read the question to the audience an ]

ire he gi»t to makt* answer to the
questions, but he managed to get, in
enough to let the audience know that
he nas n Democrat and wa? anxious
that no wrong tmprcs-*ion go abroad.
He could answer both questions in
the affirmative, he assured the vot
ers. #
J. J. Cantey took occasion to say
r that-the man who was di srt)?tfi to the
ideals of Woodrow Wilson was a
traitor to the state, the nation aud
the world.
\ “Traitor to State.”
“It's an insult to a riouth Carolina
gentleman to ask if he voted the
Democratlecticket,” Mr. Cantey said.
“I voted for th^Cox presidential elec
tors and never dodge> or scratched a
Democratic ticket in my life. Wood-
row Wilson is the greatest Democrat
who ever sat in the White House, and
_ he. was crucified by Democrats. Any
man who. is a traitor to the ideals of
Woodrow Wilson is a traitor to your
- state, your nation and the world.”
The reply of Cole L. Blease to the
- question as to the appropriation for
Confederate veterans was made in
response to this question from the
audience as he came to the close of
his speech.
