Spake at Governors* Convention Richmond,Va,December 5:?Governor Cole L Blease, of South Carolina, bawled out, "To h?1 with the Constitution," in language so strong,1 at the afternoon session of the Governors' Conference today, that most of the women in attendance, including nearly a dozen suffragettes, left the hall and did not return until he had resumed his seat. Governor Blease was elaborating hi3 views on the negro in conjunction with the divorce question and had just paid his respects,in characteri^fc style,to Jack Johnson for 'mating a white girl recently,when Govenior Carey, of Wyoming, evidently provokeP by the South Caro * * * L - J * J i.

He also requested that they refrain from stating that he was excited. "For," he said, "I 1 ? * Ldnnrn in Qnilth IliiAVC IUC IC^Ubauuu uv/nu lu v??u | Carolina of being a fighter, and a j cold-blooded fighter, at that." Again facing the audience, he J yelled out to Governor Carey: "Yes, I took an oath when I became Governor, but I say, to h?1 with the Constitution if it stands in the way of me and protection of the white women of South Carolina." No sooner had he uttered these words than the women began to file out, among them being Mrs B B Valentine, president of the Equal Suffrage league of Virginia, and also Miss Mary Johnston, one of the fading suffragettes. Undaunted, Governor Blease went! Hprlarini? that he would! BWeven tear the Constitution to shreds < M if it failed to afford white women ffinprote^tion.

Speaking on the divorce question, he said he was proud of the fact that no divorces were allowed in South Carolina. He was also proud that a negro could not marry a white woman in South Carolina, as Jack Johnson had done in Chicago.

"For fifty years," says the New Fork World, referring with contemptuous pity to the spectacle at Richmond, "for fifty years Soutn Carolina has been prostrate. By *; :hoice it remains prostrate, and Cole Blease is its Governor." In part The World is wrong. It is true, as it suggests, that the close of the War between the States was followed by an era of corruption and lawlessness and misrule, but if South Carolina was prostrate then, it was inly physically so and that because the heel of the invader was upon her. It was at the point of the bayonet that she was plundered. Her people were crushed and humiliated, but their spirit was not broken, their Ideals had not been shattered. Dire as was their poverty, overwhelming as were their afflictions and alluring as were the temptations offered to many of them, they preserved their ntegrity unblemished. They were lot to be terrified, they cculd not be seduced, and in due time they threw )tt the galling alien yone anu, even imid the wreck and ruins of the ;hings that were, reasserted sonneting of their fbrmer greatness. If South Carolina has been before ;oday the congregating place for the , . rooks of a continent it was not upon :he invitation or with the consent of South Carolinians, nor could any South Carolinian who ventured to join forces with the invaders dare onger to claim kindred with the neople of his birth.
