STATE PRESS OPINIONS. South Carolina's Demagogue on the Wane. Mullins Enterprise. if the times did not demand a serious attitude on the part of South ) Carolina's citizenship, some people i could find something: to smile at in . the e;T'?rts of South Carolina's peer-: less demagogue's efforts to make j the poor man think he cares for them.1 c South Carolina today, more than: i ever in her history, needs mt-n who j: are willing to live for her. She s | needs no.one to die for her, but all . to live for her. There is not a Car-, oiinian living today, but who would j ^ die for his State were it necessary. | f The proud old State is having to j p trail in the dust because of the bad j a citizenship of good men. Wake up!: ? good men, and part with your bad ; citizenship. ; ^ Charleston Post. a As the end of the State campaign i p j approaches and the hour of popular i judgment draws near, Governor [a i Blease is showing the dread he has | ^ every reason to fear of the verdict! that will be rendered upon his case j h by the people of South Carolina. He j j is not only beginning to realize that1. 1 he is a beaten man, but he is seeing I J spooks. At Gaffney he said he had !() been warned of a plot to assassinate ! b ' him at that place. Such disordered j ; imagination can be the result only j v of a breaking down of the brazen j front he has presented and has en- j _ deavored to maintain before the peo- j1 pie. It was too big a contract even 11 for one as hardened as Blease, and | j the strain has been too severe. 1 Hardly a. day passes now, as the j campaign is winding up, that the jv Governor doesn't refer to some reck- j oning or retribution that ma}- be in ! v I store for nim. Several times since ' p | the last stage of the campaign began . he has referred to the prospect of j his defeat, accompanying it with n : threats of what he intended to do to ^ ; "the gang" that would defeat him? v i "the gang" being no other than the 1 g majority of the white people of South Carolina, for they are the ones: who are going to compass his defeat. | Tne assassination talk is merely a j P variation and an exaggeration of the j t political doom that P.lease faces. He ; h ; is at the end of his political career, ? i but those who have been outraged .. ! by his acts as Governor of South j * Carolina are not seeking his life.. a 1 After he is defeated and deposed as t i Governor, the State of South Caro-1 derson county, who may not be worth j ' more than $100,000 and is possibly ] worth not more than $50,000.
