R PARDON RECORDS OF GOVERNORS To the Editor of The State: Some of us have gotten into an argument as to the pardoning records of Governor Blease and Governor Cooper, some contending that Cooler pardoned nearly as many as BleAse. As it might be of peculiar interest to some of your readers to have their memory refreshed as to some of our past history I would appreciate your giving us the pardoning records of both governors and ask also, that you quote the proper authorities in order to settle our controversy. "A Voter." The State has obtained the desired information from the records at the secretary of state's office and from other reliable sources. The records snow tnat Governor Blease granted 1,708 pardons, paroles and commutations of sentences during his four years as governor against 303 par. dons, paroles and commutations of sentences and restorations of citizenship by Governor Cooper during the three years and four months he was governor. These figures may contain a few duplications, but they are very nearly accurate, coming within a few cases of being absolutely accurate. In the 1,708 granted by Governor Blease are not included a large number of pardons granted to same-persons he had already paroled under his "blanket pardon" granted a short time before he went out of office. In thi3 "blanket pardon" Governor Blease restored all the persons he had paroled during good behavior to citizenship. Governor Cooper's record was 203 paroles during good behavior, 12 parl dons, 63 restorations of citizenship and 25 commutations of sentences. Governor Manning granted 217 par. dons, paroles, restorations of citizenship and commutations of sentences druing his four years, divided as follows: 157 paroles during good behavior, seven pardons, 20 commutations of sentences and 24 restorations 9i citizenship.?The State.
