Mayor L. D. Jennings, of Sumter, was the first speaker today. In saying a word for newspapers and reporters, and defending them from the frequent attacks of Governor Blease, Mr. Jennings declared that when a man charges that newspa pers and reporter* i»re liara he should be able to back his assertion with proof. Tbe speaker said he knew nothing about reports of pre vious campaigns, but that he did know that thq newspaper men with this esmpaign party had given ac curate reports of the meetinfls Asking, “Why this abuse of the newspapers?” Mr. Jennings answer ed his question by declaring it was because tbe newspaers are educat ing the people and causing them to stop following demagogues. Re ferring to the atta'ks he xr.d Mr Polio'k have made c u the ro* «rn- or. Mr. Jennings said that, although the executive had repeatedly de nounced the newspapers, "we’ve shown up his record and he’s never said we’ve lied.” He declared that if all the people were properly edu- < ate.l "Blease would not last any longer than a one-ounce snowball in hell.” Turning to the governor's pardon record Mr. Jennings asked why v.a: “Portland Ned,” when paroled, ta ken to the governor's office ir.s-ead of liberated from the penitentiary, ns was the case witn undreds of other convicts. He declared that practically no pardons veie granted by the governor unless the poll'ions went through the hands of “pardon brokers,” who, said the speaker, "got money out of it." He referred to the liberation of R. A. Richey, declaring that hte Abbeville con 'let, despite his alleged phvsiial condition, should have remained in the penitentiary, “until he .otted and died ” He declared the gov ernor read certificates purporting to have bee n signed by Drd Know tot. and McIntosh, which Dr.oMclntosh has declared he did not sign. hu*. sa'Rfa^the speaker, tr.qr g nernor did not mead the certificate o: Drs. Reb eck and Pope wl ich opposed he liberation of Richey, “and the gov ernor says Dr. McIntosh would not lie," said Mr Jennings, w ho, asked if anybody 'blamed the governor for not trying to explain such acts to an intelligent audience. Mr. Jennings also cited a case in which, he said, the governor had refused to grant a pardon, although he received a " petition signed by two thousand five hundred persons, ’’Two years sgo ray wife vised two bottles, .j * your Remedy for indigestion anil w es cur- : ‘ TThdy it will do wi,at you claim for wonderful tonic.”—Claude c „ IVt'per.

Asked "What you get ting for this?” the speaker replied, that he was paying his campaign expenses with his own money, fcon- *tlv earned,” and yeur friend. Cole Blease can’t say that much." Mr. Pollock added that the governor had the lawless element of the state, blind tigers, etc., contributing Ho his campaign, along with the poor deluded beings wh ©don’t know any better." Mr. Pollock then paid his re spects to Josh Kirven, who is con sidered the Blease leader In Dar Hngton county, the candidate de claring that he had seen a letter from Governor Biease to Kirven. virtually making the latter the dls penser of pardon* In Darlington county.

Mr. Pollock read his “Old King Cole” parody, the “Charleeton Nat” and made his usual reference to tbe trio of staff appointments, for which he regularly criticises the governor. While Mr. Pollock was speaking the city clock struck the hour of 12, tbe speaker in solemn tones, declar ing, “Yon clock is tolling the death knell of Cole L. BRffese."
