' "i BLFISE CHANGES TACTICS: DOESN'T ASSAIL JONES Latter Makes Strong Speech at Pickens and Claims Many Votes. (By Staff Correspondent) PICKENS, S. C.. Aug. 31.—Governor Blease's speech here today was differ ent from any he has delivered on the • campaign. He only mentioned Judge i Jones’ name a few times, and he did not at all assail the 'private or public record of the former chief Justice. The i governor did say that he had put so much pepper in the former chief jus tice's office that he had jumped down from the supreme bench and into pri vate life; "that Judge Jones is being supported by the editor of the Columbia State; that the former chief Justice got mad when the governor ignored his recommendations for appointment as special judges, and that Judge Jones had been educated in a denominational college."* *y These were the governor’s only refer ences to his leading opponent. He never touched his old “social equality” charge and other charges. JONES CHANGES CROWD. Judge Jones delivered a telling speech, adn a crowd that was at first of Blease sentiment was, at the end meeting, a Jones crowd. Replying to the governor’s statement that he had made Judge Jones jump out of the chief Justice's seat. Judge Jones said: “Not all of Governor Blease's salt and pepper, be it red or black, and all his cohorts, will keep me out of the governor's chair.” The campaign ends tomorrow, five days before the election, and Judge Jones, referring to this fact, said: "Gov ernor Blease sees-the handwriting on the wall. He is getting scared, and I'll prove it-\. He gave as his first reason for this belief the fact that Governor Blease, at Gaffney and other places, spoke of what ho said was a report that he was to be assassinated. He said that he had nc weapon with which a man. could be as sassinated, his only weapon being a corkscrew, and he had “pulled this out Just to keep him (Blease) from trem bling to death." Judge Jones’ second reaaon for be lieving that the governor is afraid for his election was that Governor Blease has been talking of fear that "some rascal will steal all the ballots.” Judge Jones said: "He needn’t worry about 2,000 ballots a place. He won't need half that number.” BLEASE'S ALLEGATION. Governor Blease has gone a step further in his allegation that his opponents would count him out. He said he had received a letter from J. Manly Smith, ex-sheriff >of Lee county, stating that Chairman John Gary Evans, of the state executive committee, had sent to tha chairman of Lee county 2,000 election tickets, whereas there are 3,000 names on the club rolls of that county. The governor also said that the state chairman had sent to the Pickens county chairman 2,000 tickets less than had been asked for. He said: "This shows they are trying to count us out” Governor Blease brought United States Senator B. R. Tillman's name into the campaign again today, and. Im read another letter from the senator, In which Tillman said he is "hands off" in the gubernatorial race. The governor said the newspapers are to blame for his having had to mention Senator Tillman’s name so often. He said that P. H. McGowan, a news paper correspondent in Washington, had recently sent out an article In which he said that Blease had "promised to throw his influence for W .Jasper Tal bert'in the senatorial race.” Governor Blease said he had never mentioned either the gubernatorial or the senatorial race to Talbert, and he thought McGowan "ought to be named 'P. H. Liar.’” w The governor read a letter which he said he received from Tillman bearing date of August Is. From this he read: “I did not think I ought to try to dic tate to the people as to whom they shall vote for, for I have done my best to remain 'hands off as between the can didates for governor, and shall continue to do so. lam not responsible because tbe newspapers are deceiving the people by putting lies in the headlines." A crowd of about 1,500 people heard the aspirants for the governorship, and of this the larger part at first appeared to be,of Blease sentiment Many husky mountaineers were In the crowd, and other counties were represented. There were a few attempts- to howl Judge* Jones down, but these were han dled well and overcome. The crowd, which at first shouted for Biease, broke up with Jones men in the majority. Governor Blease frequently refers to Judge Jones' age, and thia he repeated today. Answering this. Judge Jones asked: "Is there any shame in being an old man? Does he mean to say I am 1 decrepit? Why, I could whip either of them in a fair fight,” the reference I being to his two opponents. The gov ! ernor took his usual hand primary. LEAVES HOSPITAL AND LEARNS OF WIFE’S DEATH MACON.

Cranford, who was badly shocked by a bolt of lightning Sun day afternoon, lias beer, allowed to leave i the city hospital.

Espe cially did Dr.'Adams go after the record of the governor, saying: "Foul speeches and the advocacy of lawlessness and murder most surely can do no good for our people or for any other people. We have a rrsn in the state who has done all in his power t« disrupt the peace and good morals of this state. He has hurled insult upon insult into the face of decency, and, drunk with powl!?, has gone so far as to sneer at Senator Tillman. He defies and threatens him.” Dr. Adams refers to the threat of the governor that, if defeated, he will make them f'sweat blood,” and says "he is treading upon very dangerous ground." Continuing, the speaker said: "Among us are many men and sons of men who brought this state out of darkness and filth of carpet-bag and nigger rule in 1576, and we are the men who are fight ing to redeem the good name of South Carolina at the present time. We will wrest her from the hands of Blease and tbose things for which he stands and onoe more place her upon a pedestal of honor.” ENEMY OF THE POOR. Dr. Adams calls Governor Blease the enemy of the poor and weak, and scores him for having vetoed an appropriation which was intended to place medical remedies witbih the reach of the poor through the state board-of health. “Think of a weeping mother, of a poor, heart-broken father, who turns to the state and finds written there, in the governor's handwriting, no word of help or comfort, but the cruel words, 'l’ll make you sweat blood.’ ’’ He concluded, charging that the record of his administration is a glar ing symposium on how Blease had be trayed the people's interests. Mr. McMahan, a former state super intendent of education, and running for the legislature, made a ringing speech denouncing Governor Blease and calling upon the people to rise and redeem south Carolina. The Jones and Blease forces are both making desperate efforts to carry Columbia, and the lines are strictly drawn in the race for the minor offices. DENIES TALBERT REPORT. Manager F. H. Dominick, of Governor Blease's campaign, in a statement here today, denied tile report that W. Jasper Talbert, who is opposing Senator B. R. Tillman for re-election, was getting the support of the Bleaseites. He says there is no truth in the charge that there is a frame-up be tween Talbert and Blease. Mr. Dom inick also issued a statement attacking the Jones publicity bureau for circulat ing certain statements in reference to some of the pardons Governor Bleaee has granted and charging that only part of tjie record is being used and that the facts are being distorted. The Jones bureau denies this, and charge and counter charge ie featuring the closing days of the heated campaign between the respective headquarters. The members of the G. C. U. 8., as sembled at the annual audit of the com mittee on finance in Chicago, today wired Governor Blease wishing him suc cess in his race for re-election and con cluding: "May success be yours, and your vindication complete.” JOHN D.’S HILLS ARE NOW INFESTED BY BLACK HAND (By Associated Press.) TARRYTOWN, N. Y., Aug. 21.—The 500 • Italian workmen who are employed on the Pocantico Hills estate of John D. Rockefeller are in a state bordering on panic as a result of the holding up of nine of their number by black hand operators at Tower Hill.
