A year ago he was telbng his andient es i ha blootl of every American soldier killed on foreign soil would be charg? ed against President Wilson and the members of congress wno voted for war "as an unwarranted sacrifice !fl the sight of Almighty Cod. of fresh \<ung American manhood." lCven a few weeks ago he was saying that he took buck not a single word he had uttered wih reference to the war.

We are eertous to see what he will have to any when his former supporters be? gin to ask him how it is that he h < never had a word to say against the K dser. although bitterly uFsaildlk President Wilson.

July 19, Candidate! for the United, States senate got a splen? did hearing here today, Tho meet? ing was attended by nearly loo voters, comprising a crowd of enthusiastic supporters of Wood row Wilson and men whose loyalty lias not been brought In question. The boldest at? tacks yet made on Cole L. Blease dur? ing the campaign were turned loose today in a continuous hail of powerful explosives, and If any man in th;' crowd would oast Iiis vote for Men so when the barrage was lifted be failed to stand when called for a show o: colors. In every county visited by senato? rial party this week the crowds have been called on for a show of hands or other tangible evidence of prevail? ing sentiment. 1 Jesuits have been most reassuring, and the enthusiasm of the voters In taking a positive stand against Blease as to easting their ballots would indicate that Blenselsm is being hammered out as li i> were a malignant and Infectious disease, The erudition in the trail of the senatoral party seems com? plete. The ?mallness of the crowdo attend? ing the met tings in the Pee Dee may be attributed in a measure to the busy season in curing and marketing the highest priced tobacco crop the State has ever grown. The crowd today was far in SXCOSS of what was e\ pe< ted. as there was a heavy down pout of rain just at the time the meet? ing was scheduled to begin. Mr, Rico has attached to himself tin soubriquet "Bobtail," by using his own candidacy OS a striking parallel to the race made by "Cohtail," th ? horse little known, but the winner Of the highest stakes. He expects to surprise dhe people in the same man i ' ner as they were swept into the reale s of wonderland by the unheralded race result, Blease, the Anderson county candidate says, is giving a great ex? hibition Of ^t:i!1 In calling himself a Democrat and "bobbing up In tho bushes here and there, pulling off ir? regular political tricks." If the pen pie ol South Carolina are not all good, loyal Americans, it is high time. Ger? man sympathizers were becoming fewer day by day, he was pleased to say, and it was up to the people to see thai pro-Oerman sentiment was stamped out wherever it appeared. Mr. Rloe not a round . of applause : when he quoted Ambassador Cerard's reply tO the kaiser, reminding the Prussian war lord that there were as many lamp posts in America as there were German symp.1thi7.ers. X. B, Dial believes that President Wilson, is h great man and the Marion audience joined in heartily with him today when he cited the negro's esti? mate of the president to substantiate his belief. Tin- negro*s arguments that Mr. Wilson was the greatest pres? ident the country eve r had were that he had added an hour to the day and had taken all the railroads from the companies and given them to his son in-law. In answer to Mr. Blea8C*l assertion thai he Is the leader of the Reformers, the Old following of Senator Tillman in South Carolina, Mr. Dial today re? minded tin voters that prior to his death, the late senator had written t.> even count:/ chairman saying that it would l<c a 'national calamity for Blease to be elected to the United State senate. There were only two kinds of peo? ple in the United states, those for President Wilson and those for Bill Kaiser. Mr. Dial said he had nothing to explain to the voters here today as to Iiis attitude on the war, neither would he have to explain to President Wilson if he w<re sent to the United states senate. The president wou.d know he had his support without Mr. Dial having lo say so and tho presi? dent would also know that be was a thorough American senator without being told. w. p, Pollock of Chernw told the voters they COUld get rid of partisan strife by standing four square to tho world ami for Americanism and Chris? tlanlty, Bui Ihey could not stand for that and VOte for Cole I.. Cleave. Qood men in the past had been prejudiced ami misled by BICUSO, Some of these wore as :.1 as the Chernw candidate "from now on you can not afford to vote for Colo Ii. I.base and ha\e it aid yoU were a tltsloyitl mall." Tim hoys iu Krance were sacrificing Iheh li\es. Could the voters do less than their duty back home'.' "Your boys in FTance will shoot right, will you vote right? If you vote for n disloyal man yoU .hist as well slip UP behind tlie boya In khaki and Btab them in their backs with a knife, ff you send I such men as Core U Blease and Thos K Pesples, who by his .silence prove) hs is for Blease, you stab your own boy i;i tlu back, ussussinute tb? sen of your neighbor, und you're not worthy to be called an American clt l?en," Mr. Pollock eaid. The Cheraw candidate wants to see Kaiser Kill banished to some forlorn region when the war conies to in end. that the peace of the world may never no disturbed again, tie also would like to seo Cole U BleaaO handcuffed to the kaiser, he says, that South Car? olina also may be at peace for a while at least. 13lease was denounced as a "poor, miserable, dirty, cowardly liar" for his -tat.?ment that he would be set on by thugs wer,? he to attempt to follow the senatorial campaign. Air. Pollock never knew of "any such South Car? olina degenerate COWard Who found it necessary to hire a hunch of gun? men to protect him and do his dirty work until Cole I* Please inaugurate I the system." Bleose had w. 1?. Beard for Iiis gunman si?; years ago and Frank Hammond and others four years ago. At the conclusion of his speech, Mr. Pollock again today called for the man to stand who would sun port such a man as Cole L. Pleas '. Xo man got up, practically the entire audience to the man jumped to his feet when called on to take a posi? tive stand against the sentiments as expressed by Cole P. please and to vote against Please. , Senator Penet told the voters of Marion county that "you yourself can not be loyal and vole for a disloyal man. Loyalty is not a matter of frac? tions; you can not stand by PresP dent Wilson and your hoys in France and cast your ballot for a man whose loyalty has been brought in question.*' It was "brazen cheek" now for Please to say In' would support President W ilson for a third term, after he hai l Vilified and abused him from the time before his nomination In 1 12 until months alter the war had been de? clared. The only reason he had trim? med his political rails now was be cause the sentiment was against him. hut he could ?switch" a dozen times between now and next March, when the long term in the senate is to la gin. Bleaee never had "stayed put" on anything, hut changed any principle t - catch ?he sensitive ear of the voters. Me was out of tin1 campaign now be? cause ho did not have the nerve i< face 1 he people. Senator ?enet diil not know wheth? er Blease would come hack into the campaign or not, hut "1 tell yOU Pi" going to stick and if Please wants to come hack I'll lie glad to discuss with him before any South Carolina crowd the question of his loyatly as raised by his own utterances. "Kvery candidate ought to he made to tell the voters exactly where he I I stands in relation to the war. The vo? ters ought to ask and demand at an? swer on such questions, 'Are you fof Woodrow Wilson or for Kaiser Pill.' Are you for America or for Ger? many V " CANTONMENT AT WEST POINT.
