JliiM JONES' SfEEi;H AT COLUMBIA JULY 13 1NDISPU FABLE ARRAY OF FACTS CONCERNING BLEASE'S RECORD AS GOVERNOR. South Carolina, the Stat" \??u call yours, the State for which y? ur faxi in +\kn?' u'orc ic on UieiS llct\C H'U^UI Hi ivui V. trial. You are to decide her fate. What I say .nay help you to decide right. Think it over. We are to elect a Governor. A Governor to represent you and your chih^ren.to make laws and to enforce them. Do you want a friend of the people.an enemy of the criminal a: d grafter - or one who has pardoned more criminals than any other Governor South Carolina ever had? A man who has acted in defiance of law and order? Whose message to the Legislature was so vile and vulgar that that body by an overwhelming vote struck it from the record-something that has never been done l\a f i\ra in historv* of the State? cases (?f diphtheria and smallpox. He favored putting- a burden ofj on the taxpayers to improve I the State House, which everybody knows is one of the finest State | Houses in the country. Is he the poor man's friend*' He will tell you so, but does his record show it? J IS HE OPPOSED TO THE CORPORATIONS? In 1892 he voted for free passes, and for free express and free telegraph franks to Legislators. (House Journal, 1892, page tei). | k . . gate the Ansel board, ine Legisiature passed the bill but gave the committee power to investigate charges against anyone. That was just what Blease did not want, so he vetoed the bill. The Legislature passed it over his head?and that is the same committee that has been hearing charges in Charleston about the blind tigers paying three thousand dollars a month to the chief constable of the Governor and the Governor still stands by the chief constable. Do you wonder that he vetoed the bill? Only one grafter, John Black, has been convicted, and Blease pardoned him before he ever got in sight of the penitentiary. Oh, yes, he stands by his friends. Hasn't he stood by the grafters? IS GOVERNOR DLEASE A FRIEND OF THE POOH MAN? He voted not to tax the income of the rich man. (Senate Journal, 1907, page 452). He voted to shut the school house door in the face of the child of the man who is too poor to pay his poll tax. (Senate Journal, page 4b3) He voted against the hill providing for Federal help in road building. which would have made the road tax lighter on the poor man. (Senate Journal, 1907, page 337). He is in favor of abolishing the office of bank examiner,thus leaving it easy for an unscrupulous and dishonest banker to rob the small depositor. He vetoed the appropriation of >4,133.b4 to pay for medicine furnished for the poor man's child in a man who poses as a friend of the poor man and an enemy of lawless corporations, but whose votes and whose acts show he cares nothing for the poor man and has only protected the criminal and the grafter. BLEASE AND THE DISPENSARY (IRAFTi EKS. He voted not to investigate the dispensary. (Senate Journal, 1907, pages 66 and 69). He voted not to take up and consider the bill supplying money to nrnconntp thp crraffprs. Then he voted to kill the bili supplying money to prosecute the grafters. (Senate Journal, 1908. page 573). He voted against a bill to help the State in the federal court in her desperate fight with the grafters. (Senate Journal, 1908, page 253). The State finally won and recovered back many thousands of dollars stolen by the grafters. If the other Legislators had voted with Blease would the State have ever gotten this money'.' The echo answers when and how? Finally,when he became Governor, he asked for a committee to investi? ? * mi r i Ill in- V >te : to let the laiii* ;. keep it -vcvt ".! were carrying1 free passes (Senate Journal, 1!'07. jKiire :?11 . !n 1 i?iiT he vol i against the hill r < pairing the raiiroa< is to reduce pass nger rates a:- they were doing in other States. He told President Finley, of the Southern railway, that he tvould have a friend in the mansion wnen lie (Please) became Governor. When he got to be Governor whom did he take to live with him? He took Hen Abney. the chief counsel of the Southern Railway company, the beil w 'ther of the whole tlock of corporations. Please brags about P?-n Abney having made a million and ?t half dollars, and says he is the smartest man in the State. Wasn't it smart ot' him to go and live with the Governor? Xo wonder Blease tells you the railroads gave Abnev a raise. , * He had to select a private secre; tary and a clerk. Did he get a farmer's hoy or a pour man's son? No, he went to the railroad offices and j got two railroad clerks, Rowland, ! disbursing auditor for the C, X & L i railway,ard Blackburn, a clerk from the Southern railway. So the raili roads have friends both at the Governor's office and at the Governor's i mansion. Does he ever get away ; from the intluence of the railroads? ' Do these clerks and Ben Abney ever | whisper in Blease's ear when the 1 railroads want favors? ! HI-- HAS PARDONED CROOK'S AND puill,) ruiu auuuiu ut" |iuuiouru' viit of these pardoned criminals may shoot down you 01 your brother or your son in the hojx* that even if he is convicted his friend. Governor Blease, will pardon nim. Did th" soft-hearted Governor stop to thirkj of the widows and the fatherless; children of the men who have been murdered, when he released th?se men? Did he stop to fhink of law and order and the pood name of his State? Has he not brought the good name of his State into disre pute? He insulted the Governor of Georgia and said that he did not have sense enough to raise watermelons. He has stigmatized Wood CRIMINALS No Governor has ever pardoned so many crooks and criminals. He has pardoned and paroled nearly four hundred. He pardoned Rudolph Rabens, convicted of receiving stolen goods, as the friend and ally of the yegg man and safe cracker. He pardoned Wash Hunter,whom he had defended and who hail killed a crippled man. He paroled Slobo Young, convicted of being a grafter in the Seminole Securities company. The parole is till October. For whom will Young work for Governor? He pardoned Glenn, who killed Rhoden at Batesburg. Glenn says lie paid Mr Rembert $500. Rembert says $300. Rembert is Blease's floor leader in the House. Did that $500 pay Rembert to explain how Glenn was innocent, or did it pay for Mr Rembert's influence on Governor Blease to liberate a criminal? He released the Davis brothers and Sumter, three negroes who beat and robbed a white man and left him tied to a tree. He pardoned a negro in Lexington county who burned Dr Crosson's barn. Dr Crosson had opposed the Governor. He pardoned Miller, who wantonly shot into the house of John Head in Lexington county in 1910 and wounded Mrs Head. He paroled Beckwith and Schultz, two Yankee pickpockets who had tried to bribe a deputy Sheriff with ?200 to let them escape. The Governor turned them out on the eve of the State fair. He pardoned another Yankee named Flemming who had shot down without excuse the s.ns of two Confederate veterans in the town of Springfield, and yet he excused his pardon of Hasty because he said he had shot two Yankees, who the jury by their verdict said were protecting two defenseless girls in a hotel at Gaffney. Remember?all of these criminals he has pardoned and paroled, and hundreds of others. Twelve South Carolina jurors and an honorable Judge have said that they were ?:u.. --.l ..u~?i,i i,., r?r,a row Wilson,the Democratic nominee ! for President, as th^ tool of eorpor-1 aii"n>. He has made the citizens of ; his State ashamed when they po, abroad in the land, and now he is j askinjr you by your votes to indorse i his administration. Can you do it i and be fair to yourselves? Think it: over. COVEKXOR UREASE'S ATTACK. A violent attack has been made by [Governor Iilease on my political rec1 /-,? /-! Aftur a corvir>o h? T^(rislator I equality oeiween tne races, una ia too absurd a falsehood to notice. Why. of course he does not believe that himself, for after knowing my record fully he voted for me for Speaker of the House (see House Journal. 1890, page 474), for Associate Justice (see House Journal, 1893, page 87), and in 1908 for United States Senator (see Senate Journal, 1908, page 950). If he believed about me what he says, then he is unworthy to fill the lowest office in the gift of the people; for no man with a scintilla of decency or : manhood in his make-up would vote j for a man who he believed favored i social equality between the races. ! Does any man doubt that I would be Governor of the whole people? Does any man doubt that I would be just to all alike, whether my friends or my enemies? Does any man believe that it would be necessary to pay a lawyer big fees in order to get pardons from me if I am elected Governor? No doubt Governor ! Blease and some of his friends would be unwilling for you to have the facts and information which I have given you; and if you went to the campaign meeting in your county you are aware how difficult it was for me to get any facts before you so you could judge for yourself as to the qualifications or disqualifications of Governor Blease or myself. Have you any doubt that Governor Blease is supported by the lawless element? Mind you, he has good people supporting him who are not in possession of all the facts, but if you have any doubt that the lawless i element is supporting him, go to the nearest blind tiger and habitual violators of the law and see whom they are supporting, Jones or Blease. i Before you vote, remember this: ' You and your people, your brothers ' / 1 I ! 1 i anu sisters?your wire and cnnuren, are to live in this State. If you are the right kind of man you want good government, law and order, honesty and fair dealing.so that you and your children will live the right kind of lives and be the right kind of i*?ople. You want a Governor who is honest, fearless and upright and whom you can respect. Don't vote for a man because you think j he is one of the boys, or because he makes a good stump speech, or because he says he will take care of his friends, but vote for the best \ man and the man who will make the \ best Governor. i I n Receipt Books, Blank Notes, Mortgages and j? all Legal Blanks in demand, for sale at u The Record office.

H t * and Speaker of the House, Associate and Chief Justice of the supreme | court, all together covering a peiiod of twenty-one years, I invite the j closest scrutiny of every act of mine! during that period, and I feel posi, tive that no fair or just man will impugn my motives relative to the discharge of any official duties that have devolved upon me. I have never represented a railroad company I or cotton mill, and no corporation has ever exerted or attempted to exjetton me any influence in the disi charge of my duties. Mr Blease, as I i bitter as he has been toward me, I i has failed to find anything: in my ; record that he can attack successfuli ly before a thinking: and indepen| dent man.
