URGES McLAURIN TO TAKE STUMP (Continued from page 1) both of thenv in the eyes of the people. But Blease had too much political sense to make such a blunder as that, and McLaurin is wise in withdrawing once for all" into private life." Senator Tillman here goes into some detail in denying that Bleaseism is the honest child of Tillmanism and goes on to say that the governor has stolen-much of the old time Tillman thunder. "What McLaurin. says about 'factionalism making South Carolina a little Mexico' is all too true," the senator continues, " and I agree fully with what l\e says about the necessity for the good and true men of l)oth factions getting together and electing a governor who will be governor of all the people and not governor of 'his friends' only. "McLaurin. has always been a shrewd politician, and he realizes fully as all thoughtful men must realize, that the loud-mouthed shouters at the Blease banquet are 'officeseekers' and nothing more. Might Be Better. , "The statement?'I don't suit them; they don't suit me, so I had itlflt qc iirnll Kn tl re U n ^ I jv?>v MO wvii uv a man. mat as UCf ter than being: governor'?is very, very admirable. But I would have liked it better in this form: 'I don't suit them. They do not suit me, so I will be a man hereafter and my own master?not a slave to ambition. That is better than being governor.' "McLaurin has such great abiiily that it is a pity his brains can be of no service to the people in a public career now that he has come to his senses. I agree with him that his political career is ended, but he is still a citizen of South Carolina, and there are many avenues open to him for doing the people service. He should seek out the one which he likes best and work for the betterment of the State and its citizens. He has no equal in the State as a stump ynnalf Of T l/nnur Kn/I onn/\ T 4- i? 1 wrvw..v> A n.iv/n, Mcvauor X 1>I auicu him, as he himself will acknowledge. "If McLaurin will run for the United States senate in order to be permitted to speak at the meetings?the rules of the party would bar him if he were not a candidate?he can analyze and thus destroy Bleaseism far better than any other man I know of. He can do what my health will i,rv longer permit me to do, and make \ amends for his past sins and blunders. "If I had been able to make even three speeches in South Carolina last year, I do not believe Blease would ever have been elected governor, and if I were able now or dared to make speeches he could not be elected to the senate. Because I have faith in my own honesty of purpose and patriotism and think I could show beyond possibility of doubt that he is unfit to come to Washington as a neuavor irom ooutn Carolina and is no more to be trusted than was McLaurin. I would undertake to do this anyway had not the physicians, all of them, warned me that it would result in my death while speaking. I am willing to die for the State if necessary, but I realize only too sadly that my strength now is not equal to the task and I can no longer play the role of the gladiator on the hustings. It may be that the good God will restore my strength so that I will be able to take the risk. But if McLaurin, as a penance, will undertake the work, there will be no need whatever for me to speak a word. All , the moral force I possess?and I realize 1 have a great deal of it among my fellow citizens?will be exerted in this fight for decency in State politics."
