Governor Blease says he will, if elected to the United States senate, undertake to put out the negro mail carriers. We feel sure he can do no such thing. But it must not be forgotten that he has turned loose sevei*al hundred negro criminals upon the community of this State. "Failures are not meant to be filial; they are simply experiments; they point to a better way of achieving the desired end. Probably no one ever accomplished anything for mankind without first having had a dismal experience with what he thought at the time was failure. Out of such thought comes success." Governor Blease says the new primary laws were gotten up to defraud the poor man of his vote. That the poor man and laborer will have to c quit his work to go and be enrolled, t So also will the rich man have to ero. ^ r leaving his business. If there is any fault to be found with the require- r ments, we fail to see it. All, rich d and poor, learned and illiterate, will 'I - ?fifcve* to go up and enroll. This is Democratic and it is fair. If one can- ^ not write he may have the clerk write y in the book for him. What's the matter with the requirements, anyway? s Governor Blease says his followers, J bless God, are enrolling. Why need g he get so wrought up, if he is correct c in his statement. s c There is a certain disease that some li time afflicts dogs. We spy of such an ? afflicted dog, "It is niad.'* There is ^ such a thing as a man becoming so K wrought up, obsessed, so rabid, that t he might truthfully say of him, "He e is mad." Such cases arise every election year, particularly. The biggest, ^ loudest talker often does not know j, what it is that stirs him. He has not o stopped long enough to ponder any e question; he is striking in the lark Jj and it is little wonder that he sometime strikes the friendly hand that stretched out to save him. There is -i line of reasoning that will help everv 1 man to reach a saner, truer view. T.et. ^ one say of these questions, "Is this rj true, just, kind?" To do this will help v one to a surer, saner view of every ' question. 11 The Hon. Cole L. Blease honors us 0 in the notice he deijrns to bestow. Thi writer was called upon by the chair- f man to make the prayer at the campaijrn meeting here Wednesday. In the prayer was the sentence: "Teach us to love one another." The Governor in his speech, after ridiculing the ^ preachers who prayed for his defeat two years apo, said: "I hope God will t answer that prayer and pour some of s it in his own heart." The writer has no objection to the fervently uttered desire of the Honorable Governor, a Indeed, it is a prayer that the writer often makes himself. If we could feel that the Governor's prayer was ? the utterance of a sincere desire for our spiritual improvement, we would L feel grateful. Nevertheless, we can- I not endorse him for the senate: nor 51 hi did we endorse him for the governor s office. But we have zealously refrain- a ed from abusing him at any time. We a have been slow to criticize him. In v fact, he has been fairly treated by c The Times. It is our policy to lean ^ to mercy. But in the matter of ex- j ercising the franchise we feel it a s sacred duty to cast a ballot against the Governor in this senatorial race. ? f For this we have no apology to make. ^ We are perfectly willing that every a citizen of the county use his own discretion in the matter of voting. That's what we expect to do, and unless there is a decided "change of heart s the ballot we cast will be AGAINST Cole L. Blease. c \ Nothing to Explain. The refusal of the Governor to if apologize or explain any of his acts i s an entirely consistent policy. The if Jovernor doubtless understands that i he issues are clearly drawn in the An ampaign and he is discreet and right ' n that he does not insult the intelli- Ju. :ence of the people by trying to make t lis record plainer than it is. Some twelve hundred and fifty per- Fu ons, about nine hundred being ne- J :roes, have been pardoned or paroled Th rom the penitentiary. If that policy s to be continued?and it naturally Sn vill be continued should it be indorsed 1 it the polls?there will be little use Ju: or a penitentiary, jails, courts and uries. That, one supposes, is perfecty plain to all except the feeblemind- 1" id. If the majority of the white peo- ' >le of South Carolina are ready to Wl 'ote for the virtual abolition of pun- ' shnient for crime, all the talk in the : vorld is not going to prevent it. The jeople of South Carolina will have the cind of government that they want ind if they want anarchy, or no government, they will, in time, get it. To explain or defend the policy >f wholesale pardoning and paroling s to explain a policy of substantial il<olition of thp work of tho inrips. at ;olicitors and judges. If the people th< vant that work abolished, they want t. Let the people rule. wil Wherever the people want open in )ar-rooms in South Carolina in these so< lays, they have them. Formerly we sy: lad licensed bar-rooms, then came wil he State dispensary, then local option of >etween the county dispensaries and ati ounty prohibition, and NOW we have an ocal option between dispensaries, an irohibition and UNLICENSED, pr< LAWLESS BAR-ROOMS. If the people in Columbia can have bar- wi ooms, so the people in Elloree, Whit- bu mire, Holly Grove, Sandy Run or ph Iteedv Creek can have them. If the as leople of South Carolina are pleased be ,vith the lawless but open local option )ar-room system, they will vote for m< t and sustain it in the primaries. Sh There isn't anything to explain or m< .0 apologize for. Sc If Browning or Manning or C. A. Smith were Governor and stood by wi . onsenting to the race track gamblers eu carrying on a "meet" and a bar-room tel n connection with it in a rural dis- vil trict outside of Charleston so long as the sheriff of Charleston did not ask ar< for assistance in driving out the gam- va filers, it would not be to the credit of th< Browning, Manning or C. A. Smith to an ipologize for it. If one of them at- ar< ;empted to apologize in the face of po< he facts he would merely look foolish se< >efore the people. soi In 1912 the legislature passed a law mc lesigned to drive out the race-track mc ramblers. But the gamblers came usi vith their racing outfit in 1913 and of igain in 1914. They went from Char- gei eston to a place near Norfolk and to Governor Stuart promptly ran them Ho >ut of Virginia. Governor Cruce drove dri hem out of Oklahoma. Joi There isn't anything to explain, hin 'acts are facts. by If the people want their law against rui ace-track gambling spat upon and ha. lefied, let tnem say so at the polls, his ^et them indorse it in the primaries att It 18 the people of 0O?4V.' OmrolinB' t?U vho are being tested. It is their laws, syi heir civilization, their morality that wh vill be measured in the primary. a i If the people are prepared to de- ten troy practically the office of the to ourts and the jury, if they want a mo awless local option bar-room system wh ind if they are willing that the race- hoi ourse gamblers, thugs and fakers 1 isscmbled from the |aw observing as ities and States out of which they No lave been whipped run rough-shod < iver South Carolina law, making the in State by a by-word and a reproach in do his Republic, then there is not the lightest danger that they will fail is i o elect a Governor and a Senator in minently fit to represent them. ma It is the people who are on trial, me Ve are confident that they are going 1 o vote by an overwhelmingly major- gU' tv for law and order and if they are tel f that mind they will choose for Gov- J rnor and Senator men who stand for col aw and order.
