There is one of the greatest troubles with the present government.

For Law Enforeeniejit "I stand now as I have always stood for the strict enforcenient of all laws beginning with ite requirement that those in authority themselves obey the law because no mant it this country is so high that he is above the law an(i no oficer of the law should be it.. lowed to set the law aside. "What about the women voters?" "I am glad you mentioned that," said '\Ir. Illease, "because I have a message for all the women of South Carolina that I would like them to have. -1 sincerely hope that all the white( twomenl of South Carolina will put their na'mes on the cilb rolls. While I have always opposed woman suffrage we now have it and as law abiding citizens we itust support it. IEvery woman should register and see that her natme is put on the club roll. Su1ppose that only one class of women shoild register andl place their names ott the (lu) rolls. The littie might come when OWe would be in a ba(l con dition ott account of it. Therefore, ev'ry W0oma1,11n should ltput herself in 1)0 sitlotn to cast her ballot whether she %ver (oes east it or not. "There is nothing like precaution and looking aheal of you. F'or in stance, every white woman should keep Iln her home a well oiled, properly loaded pistol at the same time hoping and prayftig that she might never have occasion to use it. ,But if* the neces sity to use it should arise she would have it ready. So should 'she be in '::osition to vote. If she doesn't want to vote she loesn't have to; but she would hurt nothing by being prepared. No Chance at Convent loun "No, there is not. the slightest chance of my friends capturing the State Democratic convention," replied :Mr. Blease In answer to a question. "They simply awon't go to their precincet meet ings and to the county conventions where the (elegates to the State coi vention are elected. If they would do so it would be an easy inatter for th'em to capture the State convention but ex perience of past years has proved con cluSively that they simply won't take the time off from their duties to do It.
