C (NOTARIES PUBLIC SHORN OF POWER Governor Blease Depriving his "En emies" of Commissions -a Notaries .Starts Id at Columbia. Columbia, Jan. 3.?Governor Blease has revoked the coraiolslsons is no taries public of tbe following: Hen*r J. Hardy, pressman for them Columbia State; Cape DIbert Jack son, affiliated with the reportorial staff of the State: Col. August Kofan. head of The News and Couriers' Co lumbia Bureau; Alva M. Lumpkin. Representative-elect from this county; A. J. Beathea, private secretary to Governor M. F. Ansel during his term of office; David Harper Means, clerk of the State sinking fund commission, and of George Powell Miller, Walter Taylor Love, William D. Love and William Stephen Hough, all of Colum bia. Commissions to notaries public are Issued during the governor's pleasure and can be revoked at will. Noticing the revoking of cimmlsslon8 of so many notaries public, Governor Blease was asked this morning why it was being done or what it meant, an I in reply made the following statement: Governor's Statement. "You remember when I first came into office I revoked the commissions of all notaries public, mf reason for so doing being explained at the time; also on the stump during the recent campaign, at which time one of my opponents would yell, every day, 'He cut off tbe heads of all the notaries public' His protests had no effect upon the people, for they realized that I was right in the step that I bad taken. I said tuen, and repeat now, th.v. under the Constitution, the com missioners of tvery appointive officer should be made to expire with the term ! of the Governor who makes the ap pointment. I still believe that, and in carrying out that policy I have called in the comm.;3-<T;M3 of al> detectives and constables working under me, January 1, 1913, bnd am revoking the commissions of many notaries public along the same line. "I would have issued a general or der, but two years ago this was very much objected to, and I was asked not to enforce the order because It would Interfere with the banking institutions and others in handling their business affairs. Will Let Some Stand. "There are some -sommSsslons throughout the State that I shall not revoke, and I a msatisfied that there revoke, and I am satisfied that there I commissions are revoked, because 1 have heard of them saying that they did not want to have any commission signed by Blease; that they were ashamed of them, but that they had to have them on account of their bus Ines affairs-; therefore, as far as I can, I am trying to relieve them of their shame. "Furthermore, I do not think any man should hold a commission under the State Government who openly vio lated the laws of the State last year by betting on the result of the primary election. I know of no better way to stop such gambling than to carry mi; the law and deprive those of their commissions who were guilty of that offence, as provided for under our Con stitution and statute laws. Therefore, when I have the positive proof, I shall revoke commissions for this cause. This, in short, is what it means, and this is all it means. Believes in Spoils System. "I furthermore state that no man need apply to me for a position unless he he a Blecse man; I mean that. I was censured for It, yet now some of the same newspapers who condemned me so severely for my position, are hollering 'to the victor belongs the spoils' when it comes to the appoint . ments to he made by the President 'eet of the United States, Woodrow Wilson. If the 'spoils' belong to Wil ->n and his crowd, why should not the Blease men reap the rewards or the 'spoils' from their victory. Yet they praise Wilson for sticking to his friends, and condemn Blease for stick ing to his. Truly It ran be said, 'Oh! consistency, thou art a jewel,' and I beg to add, 'A clear-cut diamond.' "Of course, where appointive offices were submitted to the primary and elections wero held by the people, the will of the people should and must be carried out, unless some good cause is j shown why it should not be, but when I it cornea to appointments in my dis cretion, I shall stick to the man who stuck to me! because, standing by my old motto, 'Of what shall a man he proud if he is not proud of his friends?'" Forty-Klirht More Dismissed. Columbia, Jan. 4.?The notaries public In South Carolina who are not friends of the governor might as well prepare to give up their commis sions.
