An Explanation.
Newberry, S. C., Aug. 14th 1905.
Dear Senator: In my Union
speech, the 12th inst., I said: "I
eame here upon the invitation of
some of your citizens to me through
your Senator Douglass."
I notice the papers say that I
said, "Senator Douglass invited me
to come here." I said it as al>ove. j
Hoping that the dispensary will
win out, and l>est wishes to you,
I am as nvnr
CoLK.
The above letter was written to
Senator J. T. Douglass by Senator
Cole L. Blease without solicitation .
from Senator Douglass. Senator (
Douglass wants it distinctly undcrstood
that he is not trying to shirk
any responsibility, but that be did
not assume the entire responsibility of
having Senator lllease here, as ^
lie was requested to invite Senator
Blease. That he told Senator
Blease the he (Douglass) would not
be in the city Saturday afternoon.
