It does not nl4essarlly follow that the strongest man in tho first p'imary would prove'the stron est in the sec ond primary. in fact, it is tiuite pos sibl0 that a stropg candidate in the first primary,.stroi'g because of a cor talin plnk in' I136 platform, would prove verly weak in the second pri nary because oftiat platform. The canaidIate of a cllque weakens him self because of his cliquishliess, be cause a clique generally has uevere o)positioiflven3 within the party. In this connection, the vital point to be considered is the queston of holding in the second primwary the strength gained since 1912: grmtuing that there has been such a gain.

George A. 'Browning, who acted as chairman in the absence of W. C. Trhv, who isa c andidataen .. r.,er..l. said that those were also strangers- to him. Gov. ~Blease was the first speaker today, and began with the quotatioii: ' "Those whom the gods would de stroy they first made mad." He said the anti-Blease forces were dlefeated, and In substantiation cited three cases where mno101 have recontly become enraged. One, he said, at Whit mire, when a mill president invited the governor "to go below;" another at Anderson, "when another man with a gun climbed on the stand," and a third at Greenville last Saturday, when .1. W. Norwood attempted to get to the governor after having been de nounced as a. coward by the chief executive. No Ilease man, the governor con tinued, had yet tried to assassinate Senator Smith. If any one of the ti~lree he went. on, had been a Blense iman, the cry of anarchy would have been tll and tihe man would have been put in jail. In discussing assassination the gov ei'nor Said that lie had no fears of being kille(d, and added that though a .\lethodist lie wias a fatalist to the ex tent of helieving that. there is a cer tain way and a definite time for every m11an to die. whicb enll not he evaded by- th' iachinations of Inan.

In concluding. Mr. Jennings said that if the governor should go to the United 9tates senate, tile flrst resolu tion bie would introduco would be a Incasure to compel the president to rplease all negroes from the fedeprl prisons.
