'FACTIONALISM"
IS NOT HIS CUE
- /
Mr. Manning Say? That Oppo
nents Started lt-Gives the Lie
To Elimination Charges
Special to T-:?e Intelllgencer
Greenville. August 20.-Jr h's cam
paign speech here today referring to
the Issues discut'ied hy some of the
candidates, Richard I. Manning said:
"What ls the use of talking matters
till the main question ls settled? Thc
race for governor ic tho most import
ant une in the stuto, the senatorial
race ls Important, but the governor's
race is more so, because the imme
diate future of the state depends on
whether wo are to continue the poli
cies of the present administration
with ito lawlessness, or whether we
are going to wipe 4out the condition
. which is a disgrace to the state.
"I am opposed to factionalism. 1
want harmony and peace restored. It
has been charged by my opponents
on both sides that I have injected fac
tionalism into this campaign. I did.
not cauro it. I announced early In
1913 that I would be a candidate this
Bummer. I sa'.d tot one word about
factionalism.
"Fastionalism was started at the
famous Hotel Jefferson dinner
of the governor and his friends In
November luci when the candidacy ol
. Mr. C. fl. Simms wnB announced, he
to run as a partisan of the governor.
McLaurln further lined up the irsuo
between Meuse and antl-Blease and
both Mr. Irby and Mr. Richards an
nounced before the campaign began
that they were followers and . apport
era of tho governor.
"Under there circustanc.es lt was
only fair and manly that I should let
the voters of the state know where ?
stood. I did so In no uncertain notes,
and as I regarded the policies of the
governor as injurious to the state,
and that the question of whether
these policies were to continue or hot
war the biggest political Issue of the
state.
"I took this position without count
ing what votes I might gain or lose,
and I repeat now that the Issue of the
campaign is whether tba policies* of
Governor Blease arc to bc continued
in South Curoli II a or whether we are
to wipe out this disgrace from the
state. I object to the word 'Blease
lsm,' but is has come to be synony
mous with disregard of law and order,
with abuse of the pardoning power,
and with lawlessness generally.
"It means that thc idea prevails
among tho lawlers that they can dis
regard the law, that race track gam
bling can flourish, that blind tigers
can exist and that even if a man is
killed the slayer's punishment will be
dight and a pardon can be obtained
for him if he is a friend of the gov
ernor. '
"There has lr?** much talk about
the elimination u< . -iti-Blease candi
dates and centralising on one or more
of them. 1 want tb gay emphatically
that I had nothing whatever to do
with the calling of any conference or
convenlon, nor waa I consulted as to
the calling. 'I .
"When I was invited to attend a
conference, I replied' tlSat J was will
ing to make any sacrifico for the good
af the state and would do' anything
that war fair. It seems that the oth
ers did not respond, ?nd I did not at
tend the conference, and eb far as 1
was concerned the matter ended.
"If other men from all over the
state ore urging my candidacy, that is
my good fortune and I am proud of
having BO many friends, but that 1
was instrumental in calling the con
ference is falso. I believe that In the
coming elections these questions will
ail bo settled by* the people In a way
that will mean the future good of the
state, and I call upon all voters to lay
aside factional differences', personal
preferences and centlmont, and voto
? for that man who will, restore respect
for law an? order, who will gi va a
clean business administration to the
state affairs and who will unite our
people once more tn .the work of up
building the state.
"If elected, 1 will b3 tho governor
of all the - people and will know no
past political dlffc. onces and all,
whether high. or.low, rich or poor,
every man will receive juKlco ana
fair consideration at my bands.".

PHILIPPINES TO
BE SELF-GOVERNED
Bill Favorably Reported in the
House To Give Islands Their
Independence
(By Associated ProBB.)
Washington, August 20 -Another
step toward giving the PMUipines in
dependence was taken in congress to
day when the house committee on in
sulur affairs reported the Jones' hill
which would declare definitely for the
first time the purposes of tho Ameri
can people as to the future political
status of the islands.
Representative Jones of Virginia,
chairman of the committee, announc
ed his purpose to press the measure
for consideration at this session.
A ne? feature of the bill ls designed
to meet the commercial paralysis of
the archipelago resulting from the Eu
ropeau war. At present all tariff und
internal revenue ta? laws for the
Philippines aro enacted by congress.
The proposed tax laws would ex
pressly confer on tho Philippine leg
islature the right to enact all tariff
laws, except those affecting trade re
lations lit tween the tinted States and
the Philippines.
"The bill declares the purposes of
the people of the United States to
grant tho Philippines complete Inde. I
pendeuce as soon as they establsb
a stable government," Representative
Jones Bald today "To better flt them I
to govern themselves, the bill gives
them a large measure of. participa
tion in the governmental affairs of the
Island. It abolishes the Philippine
commission OB such, which is now
appointive by the prescient, and sub
stitutes for lt an elective senate."

Richard I. Manning.
Richard I. Manning Bald thut he had
been the victim of several false re
ports that have been circulated. He
clashed as "rldulous" the charge that
he is a "capitalist ?nd corporation
lawyer?' He warned the audience
againr.t hslng too credulous Ct reports
that will be sent out between now nnu
the first primary. He said rurther
that he had had nothing to do with
supposed decision.' of the elimination
conferences.
Mr. Manning said that he could not
promise a reduction in taxes. He fav
ored compulsory education with thc
local option feature.
"I would not veto ii ctate-wlde law,"
he Bald, "if it was pasced by the legis
lature with feasll:>e plans of enforce
ment." Mr. Manning Raid that he did
not inject- the factional issue. But at
u meeting held last November at a
Columbia .hotel, according to press
reports, the Bleats people had center
ed on Mr. Simms as the "partisan
candidate." He said further that
John L. Mel.auria had also mentioned
the Issue of Bleaseism. and that Mr.

department to that of agriculture,
commerce and industries. Mr. Irby
has not stated the facts as they

"Do you deny having voted for the
' Immigration bureau?" asked Mr. Irby
who was on the stand.
"I introduced a bill," he replied, "lo

"Yes," caid Mr. Irby, "we had lo
cut it all to pieces to get the immi-j

"I have never Interrupted a candi

Mr. Simms at tho Laurens meeting.
If I didn't Introduce and 'fight for a
bill to cut down immigration I will
withdraw from the race for gover
