CALL UPON VOTE DEF Anti-Biease Men Meetence Members That ed Alr< Columbia. July 31.?The confer- : enee of Anti-Bleaseites here today I gathered from all parts of the State i did not feel that it was necessary to t take any further steps towards elimi- t nation of any of the six Anti-Blease a candidates for Governor, but adopted r resolutions offered by the Aiken dele- I: gation calling "upon the manhood of t South Carolina to join with us in t going to the polls and laying aside, t if necessary, their personal prefer- t ences and casting their votes for the t honor and good of our State and for r the candidates who appear to be most ? available to overwhelmingly defeat 1< Bleaseism on August So. i Reports from delegates from all s sections of South Carolina were coin- r cident in that they believed Bleaseism t is already dead and that the probabil- i ities are that two Anti-Blease men s will get into the second race for \ Governor. The conference was com- i posed of patriotic men, inspired only 1 by a desire to work for the common i 1 good, and it was never the intention I to have any "convention" or to interfere with the free choice of the people of the State, stating that "we have absolute confidence in the good sense and patriotism of the Democra- ^ cy of South Carolina to select as the g party's candidate for Governor a man . who 6tands for decency, law and orJ :- O?., V, anH QjrainQt Ut?r iu OUUtU vai vnua , the reign of lawlessness which has 1 disgraced South Carolina for the past three and one-half years." j . None of the candidates for Gover- i ^ nor, who are ranked as opposed to the Administration, L. J. Browning, : John G. Clinkscales, Mendel L. Smith, C. A. Smith, R. I. Manning. R. A. f Cooper, attended. The conference { was held in the ball room of the Jefferson Hotel and there was absolute unanmity v Resolutions Adopted. i ? The following resolutions offered t ( by Geo. W. Croft, member of the Aiken delegation, were adopted with- ( out a dissenting voice: 1 "Whereas, we, the delegates to the recent State convention from Aiken j county, recently issued a call for a t conference of delegates form the va- ? ?" rious counties of the. State, request- ? ing the Anti-Blease forces to confer ? as to what action, if any, should be taken prior to the holding of a primary election; and . , "Whereas, representatives from! the various sections of the State met in the city of Columbia this day and , made report on the situation; and ^ "Whereas, it was never the intention of the conference and of the callers thereof to interfere with the free c choice of the people of the State in ^ the primary election to be held Au- ^ gust 25, we having absolute confi- ^ dence in the good sense and patriotism of the Democracy of South Caro- ^ lina to select as the party candidate ^ for Governor a man who stands for decency, law and order in South Carolina, and against the reign of law- ' lessness which has disgraced South t Carolina for the past three and one- t half years; therefore be it "Resolved by the delegates to the ? recent State Convention from Aiken c County, that we do not deem it neces- ^ oor-w ovno^iont tn taVp anv further D?i J VI VA|/VU*VUV ?v v?? step toward a selection of a proper and suitable candidate for Governor; s but we call upon the manhood of South Carolina to join with us in going to the polls, and laying aside, if necessary, their personal preferences and in casting their votes for the honor and good of our State and for j the candidates who appear to be the most available to overwhelmingly , defeat Bleaseism August 25." i . Pollock's Message. < Responding to cries of "Pollock," ! c Mr. W. P. Polock, of Cheraw, whose | t name is now well known throughout j t South Carolina from the fight he is ; f making in the race for the United ! States Senate, brought the conference a message of good cheer. "I , ? have been in thirty counties, along | c the coast and extending to the foot > i of the mountains, and my positively belief is that Cole Blease will not j carry a single one of them," he said ] amid cheers. Telling of his ambition r to represent South Carolina in the c United States Senate, Mr. Pollock i said he had been actuated by a high- a er motive than this in entering the ( race and that motive is "to do a j man's part in redeeming South Caro- ? lina from the reign of lawlessness i z which has disgraced her for the last t three and one-half years and to j bring her again to that place she for-; ] merlv occupied and to re-enthrone c righteousness, law and order in the i State." ; i Saying he appreciated the privilege , of addressing such a patriotic assem- j f blage. the Cheraw man said that' \ when the senatorial party was in the ! i ;Rs to if 'eat bleaseism -Agree With ConferBleaseism is Doom- j sady. 11 ower part o: the State and Governor II Mease was getting such cold comfort. 11 ie kept saying, "wait till we reach II he Piedmont." When the party got 11 here .Mr. Pollock said the revolt II .gainst Bleaseism was still more pro- |> lounced. "At Newberry I saw forty || ladges of Socialism and Nihilism IJ orn from the breasts of men after 11 hey had heard Blease's record and II ramped in the dust." he stated amid II umultous cheering. Saying when II hey penetrated further into the Pied- I uont section the sentiment continued || ;rowing against Bleaseism. .Mr. Pol- l| jck stated that he did not believe the I najoruy iur me vju>cmui iU , on county this year would be as I nuch as 25b. "And it disgraced itself wo years ago by giving him a major- . ty of over 2.000," and Mr Pollock laid he did not believe Anderson vould go for him at all. He said his nformation was that "Blease would ose Laurens county," and gave it as lis opinion that the sweep against Measeism would be complete. His Privilege. "I have had the privilege of telling he people what Blease is and what ie stands for," he continued, saying hat the people could be trusted now, is always, and their "eyes were beng opened." Showing how he had carried the fight straight to the peo>le the Cheraw man told the confer>nce that the masses of the people vere stirred and that "the great maority of them will never again record heir vote for Blease and what he itands Tor." Mr. Pollock said that knew that housands in South Carolina had ' learts who beat in unison wi h nis | )ut he understood the situation and I "that they were going to vote for an- I )ther man for Senator. God speed I hem in their good work for the I state." He said he would have the I 'onsciousness of duty well done in I ! 'playing a man's part in helping re- | leem South Carolina, and that would I )e compensation enough." "Not with the air of a braggart," I ie continued, "do I tell you that I I >elieve that on August 25 Cole Blease I md all he stands for will be swept I iside by a majority of 20,000 votes I md the majority may be 30,000." I Actuated by Patriotism. Taking up the Governor's criticism | md remarks about the conference, I vhich were delivered at Aiken, Mr. I 3ollock said that the call for the con- I erence was actuated only by the I lighest motives and patriotic desire I >f serving the State and was not an | ittempt to get any certain candidates j yma "Vn II 1,-nrtW it T I /Ul, KJL uac 1UVV. * wv* .. _ enow it and Cole Blease knows it," II le emphasized amid cheers. He said If vere his friends to tell him that his t withdrawal would help to defeat == 31ease "I would get out of the race >efore sundown." He said that he believejd he still lad a purpose and that was to carry wo> he truth to the fourteen counties in he eastern part of the State still to > >e visited and that, "as soon as they / jet the light they are going to fall I n behind the rest of the counties in 1 >outh Carolina for law and order, de- J ency and good government." He praised the conference as patriae men of patriotic purpose and aid he believed the people were like hem, willing to lay aside personal (references for the common good, ind said he believed the candidates rw xf the Anti-Rlease faction in the | ace for Governor were of the same nould. "South Carolinians will do the ight thing at the right time and on August 25 you are going to see at east one man in the second race for Jovernor whom law-abiding people :an support," he exclaimed, adding hat he did not believe there would >e any Bleaseite in the second race or Governor. Men Enough to I)o It. He said of the men of the confer;nce that if there was service to be lone "they were men enough to do t regardless of any criticism of a ;entiment of a demagogue," but reoiced that the sentiment against 3Iease is so strong that there was no leed for the conference to take any lefinite steps towards elimination. He { irged his hearers to "go back home, md keep up the good work and South j * ""arolina will be redeemed." .Mr. j ^ollock's optimistic reports of the stirring of the masses of the people tnd his statement that they were so j irnnspd aeainst Governor Blease that | | uiyji 'they were going to wipe Blease and ^ Measeism from the face of the earth ^ >n August 25" drew prolonged cheer- ^ ng. He was given an ovation when ext< le finished.
