MR. POLLOCK ADVISES THAT
ALL THE VOTERS GET
THEM
THE DAY IN SALUDA
Gov. Blenee Had a Lot of Friend?
In the County of His
Kinsmen
Special to tho Intelligencer.
Saluda. July 25.?Approximately 1,
>00 voters attended the senatorial
meeting here today. Though Intense,
ly noisy, there were no particular fea
tures, harring the spirited demonstra
tion for the .governor, and the most
cordial reception Which W. P. Pollock
received.
. 'When the governor had finished
speaking, he left the stand, as is his
dally custom. As he stepped to the
?round the chief executive was picked
up and lifted to tho shoulders of swel
tering, shouting and excited partisans
and borne away in triumph. About
one-fourth of tho audience left with
him.
Senator Smith was (he first speaker.
Only thirty minutes of ills nlloted
time was consumed. He then left Im
mediately for Columbia in an auto.
He made his usual speech, dealing
largely with his efforts to create a
better market f?r cotton.
In answering tho charge that a
largo portion of Congressman Lover's
bill had been embodied in and substi
tuted for the Smith measure to curb
cotton exchanges. Senator Smith said
that he had started tho work. Ho Il
lustrated the point by telling tho joke
of a woman's prayer which ? was an
swered, and her comment war. "God
sent the gift if the devil did bring It."
Again today the governor affirmed
that he would take no hand, in the
gubernatorial contest, so long as there
were two of bis friends in the contest.
There i were f tf??ff 1 e ase hied running,
he explained, to vote ? for either -Of
these, he said, would please, the chief
executive.
By next Wednesday noon Governor
Blease said he would be able to t.,1
approximately how many. Blcasoites
and how many antl-Bleaseites had en
rolled.
. Francis , Weston, United S tate ?
district attorney, was attacked today
frot? another -angle: Tho governor
said he would like to know Mr. Wes
ton's relation with the Seaboard rail
road. Also what he got out of the
Southern merger suit, and what he
was paid for. Bleaseltos were warned
today to beware of onti-Bleasltee bet
ting scheme. "Now they are wanting
to bet that Blease will not be in the
second race eo if Blease is elected in
the first primary they'll still have your
?0/>ney."
. Mr. Pollock, in referring to the train
of trumpeters that, bore the governor
away, said that it was the first fonerai
procession he ever caw with all th?
pallbearers shouting. This provoked
much cheering.
! . This speaker said thai he was in
this campaign to give the people the
truth. "The assaesin'b bullet fired at
Dr. Mclntosh and which may be fired
at me will not deter me from giving
the people this," Mr. Pollock explain,
ed. . ' <'-;.:
'The Issue In this campaign, the man
from Cheraw said, is not whether
Smith, Blease, Pollock or Jennings
I should be elected to the United States
j senate. It was, he explained, whether
the reign of lawlessness which ' Is
spreading over Sora*h Carolina, and
which is making tho state a stench in
the noses of decent people, shall be
stayed.
Mr. Pollock Issued a solemn warn
ing that ?ll voters look up their regis
tration certificates or got new ones
that-they may be ready for any con
tingency. He was making no charges,
he added.
Mr. Jennings 'did not attend the
meeting today being detained at home
on account! of sickness.
The nest meeting of the campaign
Is at Edgeficid next Wednesday.

Was Displeased With Paper
That He Signed
(Special to The Intelligencer.)
Columbia, July 25.?In u signed
Btatement issued today from the Iiob
pltal, Dr. James H. Mclntoeb, the Co
lumbia physician who was shot by an
unknown man early Thursday morn
ing, denied that bo signed the state
ment read by Governor Blease at tbc
campaign meeting libre Thursday.
"I did not sigh it, and any signature
thereto purporting to be mine Is not
'genuine," says the statement of Dr.
|McIntooh. In sum and substance Dr.
Mclntosh declares that the governor
I read a forged statement. Dr. James
H. MclntoEh today gave out the fol
lowing signed etatement:
"The Knowlton Hospital,
"Columbia, S. C, July 25th, 1914.
'On Thurpday, July 23, 1914, I was
still so much under the influence of
the anaesthetic and of anodynes from
the operation of night previous that I
did not eee the afternoon paper and
consequently did not know .un"i Fri
day morning what had been said at
the campaign meeting on Thursday.
As soon as I saw on Friday morning
the certificate set out In The State
newspaper purporting to have been
read from the platform by Governor
Blease, I immediately sent my father,
Dr. James Mclntosh. and a friend to
the governor's office to request that he
r.cnd the ' certificate to the Knowlton
hospital hy his private secretary, Mr.
Aull, that I might have an opportunity
of seeing and Inspecting it, Mr. Aull
toldathass., gentlemen, that the c?rUflr
cate''w?g not. In the onice,;, hut that
Governor Blenee had It in. his pock?t
ht th? L?x?i?g??n. campaign meeting
but that he would obtain it and that it
would be In the governor's office on
Saturday morning.
"On Saturday morning on applica
tion at the governor's office Mr. Aull
told my father, Dr. James Mclntohh,
that Governor Blosse had come to the
City Friday night but had not come to
the cap?tol and. consequently .he had
not secured the original certificato.
"The only certificate I signed in this 1
case bears date of January '?, 11*12, 1
that being the date of our visit to the '
South Carolina penitentiary nnd of
our examination of R. A. Ricbny. It
was prepared and signed In the office 1
of the South Carolina penitentiary 1m- '
mediately after our examination. 'It :
wag written with pen and ink and is
on one of the letterheads of the South ,
Carolina penitentiary. It Is in my ,
handwriting and it contains no recom.
mendatlou of pardon or parole. It was
signed both by Dr. Knowlton nnd my
self and I understand it was turned
over by Dr. Knowlton to Mr. W. R.
Richey.
"When this true certificate is pro
duced I wilt Identify it and will etr-.nd
by its statement And this Is the only
certificate that I have ever signed In
the Fjichey case. Unfortunately there
is no copy of this certificate in exist
ence to my knowledge.' We made no
copy of it that afternoon and I have
not seen the original since.
W. IL Klebe) Was Dissatisfied.
"This certificate as written by us
was not satisfactory to Mr. W. R. !
Richey and on several days subse- 1
quent to our examination various '
typewritten modifications of our cor- !
liticate were submitted to Dr. Knowl- 1
ton and myself for our aprpoval and
signature. Each of these, after read- '
ing carefully, 1 returned unsigned, as 1
in my opinion they did hot cover the 1
case properly.
"The certificate published in the
newspapers as having been read - by
Governor Blease, purports to be writ- ]
ten on the letter paper, of the Knowl
ton Hospital and toare date of Jan
uary 19, 1912, whereas the only certifi
cate I signed was written on letter
paper! ot the penitentiary and bears
the date of January 9, 1912. i
