And yet some folks foolishly ask, "What’s in a name?” dudRo Cawrly’s sentence of life im prisonment in the Leopold-1.oob mur- <ier case has aroused a storm of pro test thmuRhout the country and the charRo is made that then* is a law for the rich and another for the j»«H*r. Many are of the opinion thr.c this sentence will do much towatds hIh lishinR capital pwuahment. _ A Texas Uhl Re has ruled that he can find no* law that bar* a woman from holdinR oflTUv, so the Lone Star State will have ‘Twttieoat govern ment.”' We s^e no. objection to that.

Sev eral other stronR Blcaseites were in the RubcmatoriiiJ race that year and it is Whispered that Mr. Blease asked his followers to support Mr. Richards in the first primary. Richards went into the second primary, us per schedule, but failed to Ret the nomi nation—in fact, did not poll as many votes as his thief, who, we believe, was running for the United States Senate that year. This same Rich ards is amonR those mentioned as a possible candidate in 11)2(1, While Mr. Blease will always be a stronR factor in South Carolina jmlitic.-. we do not believe that he ecu dominate th’’ State’s politic- from Washinpton. Senator Tillman, we nVlieve, tried it for a year or two after he was elected to the Senate and the voters of the State politely t. Id him to mind his own business. At least, that is what we have been told, as we were too yotuiR in tho-e days to know anything; about p d\t ies. Any attempt to elect a “Blease ticket” will probably resurrect tin old factional foelinR, which wo ha 1 hoped was a thir.R of the past. The State cannot propress as it should when factionalism is the-paramount issue. FeelitiR runs hiph and often the voters are duped into oleotinp b'.- etTicient men t.o office, wbert'as if fiietionnlism were allow<xl to die the death that it de-erves. reason and not prejudice nor passion would gov ern men and women in the selection of their officials.
