Moncks Corner, July 23. "We were
unanimous when we began und we ore!
.till iftia nimous."
These were the closing, words ol
the chairman at the campaign meet?
ing in Berkel? y county today, when
Messrs Pollock, Dial and Rice ad
dressed morv than .'too voters.
The concise statement is an apt
analysis of the situation it the lower
11:111 of the State as supported i>v the
observations oi those besl qualified to
judge In every community. And if re?
ports coming in from remote territory
are to be accepted, a storm of hate
has broken agalnsl Cole L.* Blease for
ids loose war talk, which is sweeping
him Into hopeless disaster.
it was emphasised in Qeorgetowi
yesterday that the beat men ol that
section, who had formerly supported
Blease, had shaken all allegiance and
w? re fighting as zealously against him
as tiny had labored for him i" pre
#
vious campaigns, Blease was to hav<
ppoken in Andrews last Saturdn i
night, in conformity with custom?
ary procedure in arousing commun?
ity Interest the territory bad been cir?
cuit ridden and the community h
tercd with circulars advertising the
meeting. The story in Georgetown
yesterday was that only one store ii
Andrews WOUld allow tin- placards to
be placed in ih" windows. The una-;
Ing was postponed.
A similar condition was found In
Berkeley county today. Blease's nor
teal vote in this county lias ? been
around 500, One who has been at.
ardent supporter of \ Blease in th
past said today he did not thin;
Dlease could possibly get more than
150 votes in the county. Anothet
who had been equally loyal to Bleasi
in past years said ,'|'.lease's /diance
have been sind so full of holes thai
there is 110 more space to hit." Char
l< ton Is confident that it w n be cat
rled by N. B. Dial
The most striking aspect of th<
campaign is the question of leader
hip. Bleaae Is in the perplexing di
lemma of a chief of staff, with hi
staff In mutiny. Bleaseites of the bei
ter quality of leadership and Influ
I'Uce are fuming upon him abruptl;
ill *>\? r the State, a number of th.es?
'<? Ing clb l in every county the cam
paign party visits.
Another group, the absence o
ivhl ii Is equally conspicuous and as
? i.'lining to the Bleaae forces, is that
?udy of men who seek always to In
? a the popular or winning side as ..
matter ol policy, that due considers
ion may he accorded when political
pie is to be distributed, bul whosi
work on election day is no ess effe<
live, a fact emphasized by man) i>
liscussing leaders, Is that *??> n can no.
lh*Ord tO la-come over /clous in til
interests of a man. whose utterance
lour months after war was declar
d have brought him Into such ill re
l>Ute.
An interesting phase of the meeting
?1 Moncks Corner was w. p. Pollock'i
i newer to the assertion by Blease
eaders and newspapers that Bleasi
v..is the 'logical successor to Senatoi
ritlman, thai tho two stood for the
? ame things, in contradicting the
tlateim ni by one ( i these prgaria that
Acre Senator Tillman alive he doubt
less would advise the voters to casi
heir ballots for Blease, Mr, Pollock
read a letter from Senator Tillman
written two weeks before he died i
which he said it "would be an mi
speakable disgrace" for Blojisc to b<
dected to the United states senate
I he letter was wrlten June 22 ti
?'. O. Alien of Qneenville. Tho e?
crpt read by Mr .Pollock was: '
?ii is not for mysi n thai I 1,11
easy. It is for South Carolina's gOO

lYnshlngton I am working. Beside
