??????ooooooooooo ? ? ? ABO IT Tili; CANDIDATES. 0 ? ? ? ???OOpOOOOOOOOOO (The following review of the sen? atorial race situation by the York vllle Enquirer, a Blease organ, and by tho Oreenville Plodmont, un antl Hle*?*e paper, respectively, will no doubt prove of general Interest): A Plot Against Menne? Some of the readers of thin sre for Smith for the senate, some for Bleasc. some for Jennings and somo for Pol? lock, and there are some who are not going to like what wo are going to say ?bout the matter; but all the same we are going to wiy at least a part of what we think. We would say it all, but that Would requlro too much Thle fight for tho United Staten senate comprehends an Interesting political tame. Home of tho features of thin h?mo are plain enough for any? body to aee. and others arc Involved In more or lees mystery and doubt. The real race Is between Smith and Bleaae?one standing for coneerva ttoam and the other for reform, with ?Jen.tb.gs and Pollock, helping Smith In accordance with a plan carefully prearranged. Nobody expects Jennings or Pollock to get any considerable number of votes. They are not expecting any? thing of the kind thoinaelves. If eith? er of them should get into tho eec esid race with either Smith or Blesse, the only man who would be more surprised than himself would be the ?other one But Jennings and Pollock are not In this thing without motive. There I? do need for anybody to deceive themselves on that score. As to Just what the selfish Inter? est behind the motlvo of theno two politicians Is, we do not know. Pos stbly It la money?expenses paid from I some source, and a good bonus in ad? dition. But we have no idea that that Is the whole motive. In case of success In defeating Blease. whether they themselves get any large vote or not; both of these men will claim further reward from the faction-for Which they are working. everybody who has heard tho sen? atorial campaigners and even thou? sands who have read the reports thut have been published in tho papers, have noticed several things thut seem quite peculiar. Among these things 1. While at every meeting both Jennings and Pollock rap Smith very lightly, both score Oov. Blease as severely aa the uudlcnco will permit. 2. While all the reuly bard knock* that Smith Is getting aro com? ing from Blease. Smith occasionally cornea back at Jennings and Pollock In a mild Inoffensive kind of way; but never has a word to say about or against Bleaae. The whole thing looks like not only a thorough understanding, but a very comprehensive understanding. Judge Jones, really un able and as tute campaigner, who twenty years ago had the reputation of being u star of the hustings almost in the claaa of Ben Tlllman. tried to ussume the sggrealve two ycura ago and BtjH Qov. Bleaae on tho defensive. In the second meeting of the campaign. Oov. lileane became the aggressor, and he kept Judge Jones on the defensive on until the end of the campaign. With the clrcumatances related in find, and also recognising Oov. Bleaae'n unquestioned ability an u campaigner, the opposition leaders thla year framed up the present plan of campaign. Thla plan is to have Jennings and Polpw g do all he agrgessl\e work, and have SmlUi assume the attlude of being a Bleaselte an far as possible, with Smith only fighting back enough to keep down suspicion of collusion It In a noticeable fact that the pernonal vilification policy of two yearn ago bus been abandoned The nob- object of thai policy was to ob? scure the old factional lines; but the I policy having defeated ItntN through' Its own vlclousnenn. han been aband? oned. The principal reliant.? of Uovcrnof Blens? to cripple tho opposition Is on the carefullv prepared speech he de? livered at St. Matthews and copies of which he In broadcasting oxer the State. In this speech he reviews the political record of Senator Smith from the beginning, and absolutely proves the active connection of that gentle? man with the Independent moscmcnt led by Col. A. C. llaakcll, In Ilia, and makes clenr a numl>er of other points on win he would vest Ins cause. As to how the game Is going to work out In mill a matter for fUtUtfl determination. Put until It Is (bat that tho crisis bus been reached Stsd panned, Interest In the tide of the bat? tle will steadih I ae reuse Yutravllh Enquirer. the Senatorial ITglil. If Miiy newspaper* of t?ds fehth were to say the thingn ghgui Uovet nor bleaae that Jennlngr ami I'd p.. k ns> 10 his pres. n< . il v aflei I 1 on the otump, he would Invent new epithets to apply to them, but he has called neither Jennings nor Pollock a liar nor in any other way attempt? ed to resent their strong denunciation of his otneial record. This is a new kind of lighting for Blouse, who attacks Smith, but never his other two opponents. Smith attacks no? body, but contlnes himself to telling the voters what he has done in the senate and hopcu to do there if re elected. This might be shrewd politics by both Blease and Smith, if Jennings and Pollock weie weaker men. It seems that Blease and Smith figured that the real race at the start was between them and they could keep it that way by ignoring the other two contestants. !f Jennings ar.d Pollock wore wci '.cr men such a scheme might work, it might result In a choice of either Smith or Blease In the tlrst primary, or ensure the second race being between Ih m. But Jennings und Pollock arc not ordinary men and arc not conducting an ordinary campaign. Their speoches arc strong and direct. Even if un swered they would be to some ex? tent elective. Such speeches ignorod however, arc more effective, he cause the failure to answer leads to strung suspicion of inability to an? swer. The situation in the senatorial race has undoubtedly changed since its opening. At that time nobody really believed the entrance of Jennings and Pollock would materially change things. It was then thought possible for Blease or Smith to win out on the tlrst ballot, but probably neither Blease nor Smith believes such un outcome possible now. The conviction Is steadily growing and fust becom? ing State-wide that the senatorial nominee will not ? be chosen in the first primary. When this conviction tlrst began to make itself felt, there was little doubt that a second race, if one should become necessary, would be between Blease and Smith. However, not a few are beginning to believe that the aggressive, un? answered light of Jennings and Pol? lock Is having an effect .that it is de tuchlng voters from both Blease and Smith. At the outset there were not a few voters opposed to both Blease* and Smith, who welcomed the en? trance of other candidates as giving them an opportunity to vote against both Bleuse and Smith. If the light by Jennings und j.'olloek on both Smith und Blease has mateiiuly in? creased this number und this entire support should be concentrated Upon cither Jennings or Pollock, It may be sufficient to put the one so centered upcm in a second race with either Blease or Smith. The Conviction Is growing among those opposed to both Please und Smith that their votes arc insuffi? cient if divided to make a second race between Jennings and Pollock or to put either of them in a second race with one of the other two con? testants. As this conviction gains strength, it may result in a concen? tration of support, by opponents of both Bleuse and Smith upon either Jennings or Pollock, us one of the latter two develops a strength which would leud to the belief that lie rather than the other, has the best chance of getting In the second race. The indirect effect of the fight made by Jennings and Pollock has probably been greater on Smith than the direct effect has been upon Blease, though it has undoubtedly taken some votes from both. Many people, espec? ially farmers, who voted for Blease two years ago, preferred Smith for the senate, some because they thought him better equipped for service In Washington than the governor and others because they thought he had d?nie well enough to deserve the en? dorsement of a second term. Not a few voters, however, do not beliove, If the race had been be* tween Smith and Blease alone and Smith under such circumstances had made the kind of campaign he is making, that Smith could have been re-elected They say that the chance of defeating Pdeaso Is due to the fight Jennings and Pollock have made and that the reward for that light should be support of whb hever of the two seems stronger by an de? inen? id < lti/.cnship that considered the defeat >>( Blease of prime Im? portance. It is a muddled situation and Olli) one thing appeals to have been UtUlle clear by the campaign to dale, and that Is that there is no lunger a possibility of eitler |Ileus? or Smith being elected In I he inst primary, though the probability is still thai the see,,ml race will be between them. There are those who claim that if Please does not win out In the first race hi cannot go to the senate. I? is probably true thai no man who rates fof Jennings or Pollock could be induced to vote for Blease as Ion. sm I hare were anybody else ihej eoubl vol.- for. but Some men win vatf for Mmth In ihe lirst race will V?tC for HleiMM If the second line should come between him ami either Jennings or Pollock.?Qrccnvllle Pled munt.
