WHY MCLAURIN QUIT
GUBERNATORIAL RACE
"Sinbad'' Writes of the Conditi ons in the Faction, one- Say? That
He Lacks a Whole Lot cf A drniring Captain Richards
bailor The Intelligencer:
In giving this statement to the press, lt is my purpose to show why
Senator McLaurin should not and did not uselessly enter the gubernatorial
race as a vicarious sacrifice ?hereby unworthy aspirants to high office would
I'eneflt' by the expenditure of his campaigu fund, and his ability as a cam
paigner. And also to, show why no true Bleasc man when fully informed, or
anti, either for that matter, can afford to vote for John Q. Richards unless,
indeed, the are prepared to honor the memory of Benedict. Arnold and defend
thc act of Brutus.
First, twelve candidates for one office and thc short time allowed
(.ach, 1B ridiculous, for no man can possibly diseuse thc issue, much less make
a defense of Governor Blcascs' official record as a Bleasc candidate should bc
able and willing to do in twelve or fourteen minutes.
Second, Bleusc leaders, for their own selfish purposes aro supporting
one or more of tho aoti-Blcase candidates. Th?se conditions are moire or
If 38 in vogue all over the state and all of thc antl-Blcasc candidates for gover
nor are tho recipient of this support thus weakening th'c factional candidato
by at least one-fou rt fi if he had" no factional opposition.
Third, tl?ere were three other Blease candidates to divide this already
minority vote, with, making it impossible to get a straightoui Bleasc man in
thc second race.
Fourth, the one partisan candidate, Meridel L Smith will get as large
a Bleaee vote as any pf thc Bleasc candidates themselves, making assurance
doubly sure that no etralghout Blease man will be in thc second race even.
,Flfth, not satisfied with allowing their personal ambitions and greed
for office, envy, Jealousy, Incapacity for Intelligent leadership, and general
lack of harmony and good faith, to demoralize, thc Blease faction as a fighting
force, a number of inconsiderate leaders Intent only upon their personal ag
grandizement, left the B?easo ranks to seek a candidate whom they could
exploit and manipulate, and slipped John G. Richards in under cover of night,
after rescuing him from the anti discard. '
McLaurin is too big a man to run us a puppet for any set of dark lantern
ringsterB mosqeu'rading as leaders of tho cause of the masses, who assemble
themselves under the magic name of "Blease" and the "common people"
to further their own ambitious schemes, so he did not enter the lists.
He could have run as an independent Blease man like Irby, Sims and
Mullally, making a fourteen minute bid for the support of a faction already
defeated by thc new and iniquitous enrolling rules-a plethora of candidates
and the postitution of secondary leadership-but what was thc usc?
,Now I havo nothing personal against Mr. Richards-but hore are thc
reasons why Bleasites should repudiate him. Ho is not a Bleasc man, he
has never affiliated with the Blease movement, except candestincly during
tho last campaign in his race for railroad commissioner, when he played
both sides for thc suckers, telling, it is stated, Bleasites how he slept in thc
name bet wtih the governor at Monck's Corner and then denying it as a cam
paign ca lard when questioned by thc antis. In that race he was quietly
backed by Ben Tillman whoso protege ho is, and the Gonzales, who are re
lated to him. He is Ben Tillman's political "Trojan Horse." A card slipped
from John Gary Evans' sleeve, coming from the enemies' camp as the "Greeks
bearing gifts" and will obey his political masters If elected.
He was first a strong dlspcnsarylte, then when that Institution to
terrcd, a state-wide prohibitionist, when Golo Blease won out on local option,
he became convinced that local option was ordained of God. And now he is a
very strong and earnest local option-prohlblttonlst-county-dlspesarylte, de
pending altogether upon the dominant sentiment of the section he happens
to be .lr.
He has been on every side of every question, and in his eelike political
course has always flopped from one question to another: from fiery furnace to
frozen glacier, with the ease and sang-froid of a Salamander-but always
flopped too late to land.
Mr. Richards,' sole claim to Bleasism ia due to tho fact that after I had
fully exposed his political double dealing and forced his hand and the bands
of his friends under great stress of pressure from those hidden friends he
came into the governor's office and stated to those', assembled that "as the
governor's principles are nearest to mine if any one asks mc who I will vote
for for senator, I will say Blease." Then afterwards'in answer to inquiry
as to bow Senator Tillman would take lt ho replied in effect: "I have written
tn him explaining my position, and it ls satisfactory to bim." Thus did he and
bis friends dangle before the eyes of Bleasites, the great prize of Tillman's
frlond?hlp and assistance basing the whole proposition upon treason to one
. side or the other, perhaps both.
I don't know, but Tillman's friends are talking that Richards gave
Tillman to understand that he was still loyal to Tillman and only declared
for Blease to get the vote." I believe that is entirely true,, for Richards was
averse to making a public declaration and was evadlng.lt until I published lt
on him and made him come put in tho open.
. Bleasites, I suppose, will be glad to learn tnat Mr. Richards was thc
author of thc act repealing tho Hen law-especially tho poor farm renters.
And that In 1911 at a barbecue at his home. Liberty Hill, it is Bald he refused
to introduco thc governor to thcaudlenco, whon requested to do so. But
in 1911 tho governor was under a bot fire of brutal criticism and socially os
tracised as an official by the antis, who are Mr. Richards* friends and rela
n, tl vc a, and was supposed to bc down arid' out as. ? political factor. Since ??**l
time, he has been elected governor again, which makes a big difference, aaa
therefore this rev ?ra?ble d?uble-back-actlon-shnrt-eircutingpol itlcal acrobat
ia now wildly in love with his excellency.
Certain aspiring demagogues and dictators realizing ?bat normal con
ditions would* blast their hopes of election to congress and other high offices,
and not wanting a strong man tn, .the executive chair, who would stand between
them arid their eventual senatorial aspirations sought from the graveyard of
the enemy a skeleton to dangle before the eyes of a sensible people., They
wanted a.spineless incompetent u\?on whom to pull the strings as with a ma
rionette., .Well,'they found bim and are td be congratulated upon the wisdom
of their choice. _
When'these Incompetent minor leaders, J neon B kl erat o of; th? dubious
'. senatorial race and not realizing that to Jeopardize their leader was to throw
the fight, broug'it. John G. Richards In under coy qr of night, .to make h(a death
bed confession, of faith, and declared him "born again" they served notice
Upon all tn tho gubernatorial rape that 'hero was no factional fight-so now
let them nurse their puling Infant.
Tho vc nm pig n up to date proves that tny analysis was correct at first.

(senatorial-, and HO lady-like and mild, that lt would ceo m grotcaquo to at

No "governors" speaking last tilla time, but to be heard by even the
small crowds; tit cy: o?k tp fpt?tp, with the toibor officers. Maybe if John
Duncan could speak last every day lie could hold the crowd for them.
Why'not ask Richards why ho. don't, resign? Or whether, he wants
to hold bis office to pay campaign expenses with the salary and free trans
