WEDNESDAY APRIL 8 1914 THE GOVERNOR * VISIT On Saturday next. Governor Colo L. Blease will visit Colleton t’oumy and will deliver an address at the Courthouse. This is a source of much delight to his political sun porters, and one of much anxiety to those who oppose hm. Rut In real! ty, it should be neither/' Ah Cover nor of the State, Colleton should feel proud'to entertain him and a large crowd should be present to pay him honor. Regardlesa of the political difference,, which will *e» manifest this summer, a large audience ahonld assemble at the courthouse Saturday to hear the ..public address. it is seldom that this county.is visited by the Governor, aint^the occasion de mands that all turnout to fcid him welcome^ Hundred,, '**11 probably "Attend, and the crovfrvL. can not be too large. club me tlngf and the county con t remlojiF, an.d frein what the writer can find out about public neat’moiu over the statu, those will do nothin:; with the proposition.

The demand for primary reform originated as the aftermath of rr very bitter state campaign, and to this alone can it be traced. Thu reaction has set in. nothing will be done, and the people are satisfic'd. REUNION'S CHIEF SPONSOR has been a wide agitation in labor of primary reform. The citizens in their club meetings should decide this question. It Is theirs: let thorn speak. And many other matters of great importance .Van be properly' httehded to In the club meetings.

Ther® wl! be many who will attempt to use either their professed friendship for the Governo* 1 or their opposition to him as strong vote getting arguments. It now appears that none In state politics will fear to make known his views on this proposition, and in most of the contests there will be Blease men and antis. , The recent announcement of ih« platform of former Senator John L McLaurln was a distinct surprise to many. He announces that he will be in the race for Governor, and of course he Sill discuss his pet theme. H^wsrohcuse question. He stated dunng the legislature that ibis Issue might force him before the people. It is very easjy for a candidate to hav<y view vhteh in Ills opinion mukc^hiur rtin for'an efflec which/as h» r ni«v express it. he would not otherws.* btive. But the most surprising thing from Senator McLaurln is th-j fact that he will vote for BJease for the Senate. . Many people thought that after the„ment Rl* a- e * oafer- ence, when Scutitor M. La :rln an- nouitced that he woulU bavo^,nU/:v further to do with Blea-e s:.i. th* Benator would bncijae of the position: But tfli,»v he»on;*.i strong for ‘Bloaar. Thus, it get s from o.ie, t > nthe^. and. at best, it upper „ that the main issue this summer will be Bloaseism.. It will, like TMImani m Ip the nineties, when Tlilm.in ha I just finished his tern cf effive a- Goveruor, have Its defend »rs v and those who wpuld destroy if.

Do they know that they are furnish ing at the flub meetings the very men who will conduct the elections? Their delegates in the county convent tlon vote for the selection of a county chairman; this officer has in chSrgc the appointment of managers over the entire county. The member of the county executive committee chosen from each club will pass upon issues w hich arise bet w een candidates and decide contests and protests. Their delegates in the county conven tlon help to select delegates tv the state Convention and also to elect a member of the State Executive Com mittee. The delegates in the State Convention makes rhanges in the rules governing elections, and the member of the State Executive Com- r ‘ce. selected by delegates from the different clubs, rfite* for a State chairman.
