He was content that this be judged by whatever the lawyers of Charleston or any other county would say about it. His assertion that ho was free, un pledged, unbought and unhuyabie brought forth hearty and general che/srs. He had understood, he said, that VV. H. Andrews, the "big boss'* and the "logroller" of the Atlantic Coast Lumber corporation, had prom-1 lsed Oov. Bleaso to deliver to him the vote of Georgetown county, but L. S. Ehrlch, called by enemies "the un scrupulous Jew," was teaching Mr. Andrews a lesson and he would find it not so easy to deliver Georgetown's vote to anybody. Gov. Blease had excused his possession of a free rail road pass while serving In the State senate by saying he paid for it by services as a railroad attorney, but the point was that he could not carry such a pasB In those circumstances without violating the Taw. I "In the last State convention," said Judge Jones, "when tho Democrats of South Carolina wanted that splendid man, Gov. Wilson of New Jersey, to be nominated as a man not subser vient to the money power, and while the friends of Jones were doing all they could to bring about this result, Gov. Blease and his friends to a man voted against Wilson, who was the standard bearer of the Democrats of the State." The speaker was discussing the governor's revocation of all commis sions of notaries public when a voice on the boor Interjected tho remark: "Well, he got rid of niggers." "Yes," said Judge Jones, "there Is a nigger In the woodpile In nearly everything that Gov. Blease does. Why could he not have dismissed the negroes and let the white notaries alone?" Judge Jones redtculed the constant references by the governor to "news paper lies." "Oh," he said, "how these crooks and criminals do hate newspapers. What honest man fears the press?" Judge Jones concluded by saying he wanted the support of the people of Charleston. He believed he would have their help, their good will and their friendship. He held out his hand to every man who loved his State, whether he were ligh or low. and who was willing to Join him In his fight for good government. He stood, he said, for county local option on the liquor question with due enforcement of the law. "Help me," he said, "to a decent administration of the law which 1 will have sworn te enforce, and you will get from me tho highest mo,tsi.re of local self government. Paid for Favor. Gov. Blease started out by making a statement, regarding the graft charges against his chief constable In Charleston, Ben. H. Stothart. The governor said ho had sought the votes of Charlestonians for a State olllcc in the campaign of 1900, 1902, 1906. 1908 and 1910, and in all these he owed much of what support be got in Charleston to the Influence and labors of one man?Stothart. So in 1910 when he was elected governor he bestowed on Stothart the best posi tion it was In his power to give him. He had stood by Stothart because Stothart had stood by hime. He was standing by him yet and proposed to continue In that course. Those who ; did not like it couldn't help it. Ho was governor of South Carolina and intended to bo governor the rest ol this year, and the next two ye;.rs. Gov. Blease said that as a legislator ' ho had opposed an effort In which Judge Jones joined to put Charleston Into "a black belt." He had made a 1 speech for the Citadel at the age of 122, wohn it was feared Ben Tlllman would ruin the "dude factory." This speech, he said, saved the institution at its most perilous moment, acced ing to members of board of visitors. He bad also allowed an Appropria tion to enlarge the Citadel, though he had vetoed appropriations for oth er State colleges. He credited Rep resentative F, M. Bryan and A. \V. Todd of Charleston with doing good work for the Citadel in this matter. Judge Jones, the governor declared, had forgotten to tell of some votes by him??which were Important to Charleston. He said he believed in local self government, yot he had voted to Im pose on Charleston the metropolitan police system; he had opposed an amendment offered by Mr. Patton of Rlchland 'when they wanted to search private homes, strike out the In junction feature and guarantee trial by Jury In tho criminal courts.' "Since he had been on the supreme court," said tho governor, "Injunction after Injunction had been put on you. Is that local self government? But I have given Charleston liberty of thought and freedom of action. Since I have been governor how many In junctions have been issued, how many ! women's trunks have been broken \ open ?" "What about high license?'" some body shouted. Favors IIluIt License. "That's what you ought to have," said Gov. Hlease. He explained that he had told the legislature in a mes sage that the dispensary law ought not to be forced on Charleston for conditions here were peculiar. .Judge Jones, ho said, had been reading a telegram from Judge Memlmnger which he had hoped would be read at this meeting. It said Judge Mein* minger was sick at the time of th*> Horry court Incident. "I hope," said the governor, "that Judge Memmlng er read that telegram before bo sign ed It. He signed one paper that he did not read and It kept him off the supreme court bench." ? The governor said that at the time j of the Horry court Incident Judge Memmlngcr In person talked with him over tho telephone and said he I had no court to hold that week or tho next, but said not a word about be ing sick. It was, however, mighty easy for him to get a sick certificate and fall back on the pet excuse of the trickster lawyer. "Judge Jones," exclaimed the gov ernor, "says he never represented a railroad. What then was he doing with a free pass when he was speaker of the house?" The familiar charge by Gov. Hlease was made that Judge Jones by his votes on the Jim Crow car bills bad shown himself to be in favor of social equality between whites and blacks. "What about the races?" Inquired a voice. "Why I used to ride in horse races when I was a boy and if 1 hadn't been governor I would have come down here and helped you run some. 1 did come down and look at your race track and 1 found It the best man aged track I ever saw." "Hut how about the races next year?" "Why, do like you did last year. He men enough to do as your please." The Grace Mutter. Gov. Hlease took up then the Grace matter. When elected governor, he said, he came to Charleston and of fered a position on Iiis staff to ills friend. I.. C. A. Koessler of this city. Mr. Roessler said: "No, I don't want the position." Hut the governor in sisted he must take it. Mr. Koessler 'urged him to give the place to John P. Grace. The governor said: "I can't do It. because Grace has never been my friend:" Mr. Koessler said Mr. (Since had supported the gov ernor In bis second race. Mr. Koess ler said he himself had a particular reason for asking thai Mr. Grace lie appointed. Later Mr. Grace and Mr. Koosslei' had a conversation with the governor at the St. John hotel, (he upshot of which was that Mr. Grace was made a lieutenant colonel on the governor's staff. Afterwards, Mr. I Grace showed the governor several, social attentions. Introducing him at banquets and other affairs, and this, , the governor said, he appreciated. In February 1911, however, the gov-, Crnor received a letter from Mr. ('?race urging him to make an excep- ? tlon on his request and commission a negro, S. W. Bennett, as notary pub lic. This was after the general diu* missal of notaries public, The gov ernor replied that it was his policy not to appoint negroes and ho ex pected to stand by this policy. Me said tonight that perhaps the break between Mr. Grace and himself be gan with this exchange of letters. GOV. Hlease said "the i.'iit t ei snipe commlsion that have been crawling on their bellies in tho filth," were >^o ln go vor to Georgia "to take the tes timony of a man who lias attempted to buy South Carolina olliclals, for whom a reward of $300 is outstanding and who is afraid to come into this Slate. If T. H. Folder is brought be fore an honest jury in any county In South Carolina and I don't furnish the evidence to convict him of con spiring to bribe state officials, l will resign as governor.'' ?mihi Howard, 9100.
