WEDNESDAY APRIL 15. 1914. * • 4 THE GOVERNOR'S KPKErH. The epeeeh of Governor (!ole. L. Rleaae here on Saturday wa* ‘ one of the Htronaest wer delivered 'at Walterboro. "A tone of dignity and earneiitne*8 pervaded hi* every re mark, and doubt lea* there ar? many who wenr there to crltlrire but r- mained to pralre. .Many' people beleive that the Governor rannot apeak without turnlnR loose a lot of “flrework*." His address Saturday If it rould have been heard by all who believe that, would have «’.l»- abused many mind*. In the beginning, the Governor ex plained hia absence here on the two occasions when he wa* Invited In the phut. Hi* reasons were good and satisfactory. On one occasion, he wa* detained by tho work of th" 1 State, to do which he had been elect ed} On the rther, a death in his family prevented him from coming Certainly th -se reasons are such that no one could criticise him for remaining away. Governor Hlease took occaeion to review^ the principal n< ts of his ad ministration, nnd- to announce his platform for the summer'a campn ign. , His aiid!tinijj^re«o'ived him with 'great aftehtlon. and often in- terupted to give applause. As a whole, the address «bm Judicious an.l that will make for the Governor many friends. encourage the agricultural develop ment of her people and assist in any way* possible.' He .favor* a two- cent rata bn he trunk line railroad* and th«(r brinch line*, desire* a strong, wellequipped militia to as sist Jn the enforcement of law, be leive* in a rigid admlnlatratlon of law. and favors working convicts on changanga rather than in the*pen- tlentlary, but oppo«es working whit< and negro coda li t* together. Air - . Richard* show* that he I* close.-to the people in hi* planks re garding liquor. In 1910. Mr. Rich ard* ran for Governor on the prohi bition platform, hut *lnce that, time all of the countie* have expressed themselves on this question, and Mr. Richards i» willing to take the wi-he' of thb veofrtfe into consideration •Therefore, he now advocate* the present system of each /county de ciding this question for itself, ttie democratic principal of local .option. Mr. Richards beleives hi honest elections but wants every ‘/hite de- tnocrat to be allowed 4c vote in the primaries. He presents afjftments for bi-«nnial sea dons of the legisla ture, and want* liberal pensions given to’ old soldiers-and their widows. If elated Governor, Mr Richards will Ini-ist on economy in government and oppose reckless ap propriations. The following on taxa tion is very Interesting;” I shall ad vocate a complete revision and read- jusement of the tax law* of the state and the adoption of a system of as sessment th«xt Will make all property bear Its hpn >st and jus: proportion of the burdens of taxation.” His closing psragnph is as fol lows: “In making the race for gov ernor it is my purpose to make the issues plain and to the point. 1 will go before the people upon a plat form evefy plank of which shall stand for what I bblelvl to be the people’s good and for the development and upbuilding of our state in all her Interest*. I will go before thorn vith the full determination thaVtf I an elected 1 will be the Governor of the whole people.” Mr} Richards ha* a strong'plat form, andjrom our knowledge of the man he is made of the stuff necessary to put It Into effect. It is to be hoped this summer that personal abuse will he absent In th^eatnpaikn. and tuat all of the can.iifhifes will discuss the issues which MA Rich ards has raised. : APRIL 15,1914 4 TERRY & SHAFFER . • *• • / ' • 1 •: \ ' - ' - * 40th YE^R.
