BLEASE DECLARES HE HAS BEEN MALICIOUSLY LIED ON IN RECENT CAMPAIGN South Carolina’s Executive Makes Public a Letter to United States Senator Benjamin THlman and Declines Latter's Proffer of Aid in Passing on Pardon Petitions - Criticises Press for Its Abuse (By Staff Correspondent! COLUMBIA. S. C.. Sept. 2.-Telling Senator Tillman that it was not because the people lor® Tillman lees, but that they trust Blease more, asserting that he has never received a cent of money except from his salary, that he has been abused and misrepresented by the news papers. that his election is the greatest victory in the state's history, and that it’s a vindication of his administration and declining the proffer of the sen ator’s assistance in passing on petitions of pardon. Governor Cole L. Blease last night made public a copy of a letter which he addressed to United States Senator B. R. Tillman, replying to a let ter Tillman wrote Blease and published Sunday morning. The governor says that ho will be governor of all the peo ple. but when it comes to handing out patronage “none but a Blease need ap ply." His full reply to the senator fol lows: , “Hon B. R. TBlman. Trenton. S. C.: "Dear Sir—Tour letter, in this morn ing’s News and Courier and the County State, has been carefully read, and it but adds to the efforts which have already been made by the newspapers and others to discredit the people of South Carolina by charging them with dishonesty anti injuring them by holding them up to the world that her govern ment is selfish and corrupt However. 1 shall say nothing harsh in reply thereto. CRITICISES PRESS. “The newspapers have abused me most willfully and maliciously, and after my inauguration they had a bill introduced which gave to them unlimited power in their abuse of canddates for public of fice. I vetoed that bill and succeeded, in having ft rejected. Since then no act of mine has met with the approval of the editors, bvt on the contrary, every suggestion of mine, whether it bore the best interest of the state or not, has been fought and sneered at. The result has been that great injury has been done to the state by the newspapers, the people inside the state knowing that the newspapers were publishing what was untrue and that they were unfair, have been made stronger for me. “During this campaign I have been most maliciously lied on. My speeches Lave been mi«''onstrued. distorted and parts of sentences which I used have been published which have made It ap pear that I said things which I did not say. for instance: ’to hell with the con stitutlonJ was used by me In this way. Jones said that the separate coach bill was unconstitutional. I said that If there was anything in the constitution which forced the white ladles of South Carolina to associate with negro men then to hell with the constitution." and every honest white man in South Car olina whose mind is not diseased, will thoroughly agree with me In this state ment. “I said at another time that if I was defeated for re-election by the old Has kelllte crowd that I would make them sweat political blood. I meant that when I said it and I mean it now by pardoning criminals, which you seem to have declared with your eyes open, or by any other maladministration of the office of governor, but strictly in a po litical way. NO RIGHT TO COMPLAIN. “Now, you see. sir. If these two sen tences had been published in full none would Lave had a right to have com plained. The last session of the legislature fought me .bitterly and unjustly. Jones having been brought out for governor Smoke of Herbs Cures Catarrh A Simple, Safe. Reliable Way and It Costs Nothing to Try. This preparation of herbs, leaves, flowers and berries (containing no to bacco or,habit-forming drugs) is either smoked in an ordinary clean pipe or smoking tube, and by drawing the medi cated smoke into the mouth and inhal ing into the lungs or sending it out throtfch the nostrils in a perfectly nat ural way. the worst case of Catarrh can be eradicated. < B CONTAINS MQ TOBACCO pUDE MAM WtGtS'TFMd eeptlc smoking remedy goes to all the affected parts of the air passages of the'bead. nose, throat and lungs.

Jones charged me and my friends with being anarchists and charged me with being a crook by protecting criminals and otherwise. I. too, made many speeches before the opening of the campaign, but never re ferred to Mr. Jones at all. At Sumter in my opening speech. I did not. He followed and his harangue was bitter against me. and from that day until the close of the campaign he never pre sented a single reason why he should be governor of South Carolina, but took his time abusing me and my friends and trying to explain the miserable rec ord he made as legislator and judge. “At Bishopville I exposed his record, and after that speech was read by the people of South Carolina. Jones might as well have retired from the race, for he never had a look in from that time on. “I conducted my campaign on a high plane, but having been most severely criticised, lied on and abused. I struck back, and in no uncertain terms. HELD HIS TEMPER. “When the Augusta slush came for ward and the John Grace filth was poured forth when dirty and filthy cir culars, unsigned, were slipped under the doors of the people at night and broad casted through the state, when the min isters and preachers were praying against me. and when the newspapers, every issue, were heralding slanders, vi tuperation and abuse against me. I con tinued to hold my temper, did not get mad as they hoped I would do. and even when Jones insulted me I had too much respect for his gray hairs and old age to even slap him with my open hand. Some mady call this cowardice, just as some called it cowardice when General Butler gave you a general curs ing on a railroad train, when you gave as your excuse for not resenting it, that he had qnly one leg. “I had every reason to believe, having stood by you in 1890 at Helena, when I stepped between you and a man who had a pistol drawn to kill you. and when the crowd rushed forward and broke down the platform. I had you picked up by your admirers and carried you into’ my father-in-law’s home (which was in a few yards of where you were speak ing). DON'T WEAR ANOTHER'S COLLAR. Tn the legislature I differed with you sometimes and did not vote according to your dictation, but, senator, I have never worn any man's political collar, have never been bossed or dictated to by any man, and I never expect to, for I have been elected governor of South Carolina by the people and I recognize no boss but the people. and the people have shown, last Tuesday, that they recognize no boss at alt “In addition to my political support of you, the position I took as lawyer and witness in saving the name of your distinguished brother's son from being written upon the pages of the South Carolina penitentiary records, while my position was true and the correct one, incurred for me the hatred of the Co lumbia State, and from that day to this nothing too mean or bitter could have been said by them about me; and why, because I stood by a Tillman. Certainly, then, I bad the right to expect that you would not take any part in the run for governor, but on the contrary that you were friendly, and that if you were not friendly, most asuredly that you would be neutral, particularly, senator, when my defeat would not only have ruined me politically but blasted my personal character for all time; and yet. through out the entire race I spoke kindly of you, and after your letter was when friends phoned me and wired me what to do in regard to you, I said that I was willing for the people of South Carolina to pass between us and say which one they wanted or if they wanted both. / DON'T DRAG IN NAMES OF LADIES. “In Washington Mrs. Blease and Mrs. Tillman were both present when tlje conversation I referred to took place. You may say Mrs.- Tillmhn could not remember, but I wish to say to you, sir, that the veracity of ladies should not be involved on such mattera You may speak of it, but I shall certainly not bring either Mrs. Tillman or Mrs. Blease into this controversy. “The charges which you have seen fit to refer to in your latter have been ab solutely and flatly refuted (see reply to Augusta x slush and replies which I have put forward during this campaign) I have never received one cent for granting a pardon nor have I ever received one cent for any official action since I have been governor ex cept my salary from the state of South Carolina. / “You did not come/ to me or my friends for explanations, you took the newspaper articles for-it. When you, yourselves, say that they lied most ma liciously on you. HOW ABOUA IT? “My dear sir, what about the charges against you, when they claimed that Hubbell sent you 120.000 which Lyon and Christenses had the Rev. Mr. Tur nipseed brought before them, to prove that he delivered you tne package, while he was express agent at Columbia? What about the piano they claimed you received? What about the Hubbell money they say you received? What about the article which they say were sent you by Neill from the penitentiary? What about the Oregon land deal, which Mr. Roosevelt laid at your door? You said they were untrue. I believe you, senator, as your other friends believed i you. If you want some further infor mation as to some of the investigations I which were made against you by Lyon and Christensen I will be pleased to furnish you with copies of Pinkerton detective agencq's reports which yere filed with some members of that com mittee, but which were never known to the full committee and never made pub lic. and which I have been only able to -yget since I have been governor of my | state.

MONROE COUNTY IS STRONG FOR WILSON (Special Dispatch to The Journal.) JULIETTE, Ga., Sept. 2. —An effective aggressive campaign is being organized in this county in behalf of the candidacy of Gov. Woodrow Wilson, of New Jer sey, for the presidency of the United States. Although in the presidential pri mary on May 1. this year, Monroe county was carried by Congressman Oscar Un derwood, of Alabama, by a safe major ity. all factions will now unite solidly on Governor Wilson, and It is safe to predict in view of the preparations that are under way to boost his cause as the Democratic presidential nominee that he will carry Monroe county in the ap proaching presidential election by one of the most overwhelming majorities ever received by a candidate for president. Governor Wilson is popular among the voters, a variety of causes being respon sible for his popularity and strength. In the first place, each voter feels a pe culiar attachment for the New Jersey governor because of his southern birth and connection, and in the second place, each knows that he is one of the lead ing statesmen of the country, and that if elected president of the United States he will discharge the duties* and respon sibilities of this position in away that will meet with the approval of all classes of citizens. Even the opponents of Governor Wil son in this county, those who cast their ballots for Congressman Underwood, of Alabama, in the late presidential pri mary, were never prejudiced against Governor Wilson, but their antagonism to him was of the good-natured kind, and they supported Congressman Underwood because they felt, as stressed by many of the newspapers, that he w’as more of a southerner than Wilson and would stand a better chance of being elected president on tKe Democratic ticket. friends and you should have stood by me. HIS AMBITION. "You charge me with ambition. I had no ambition, senator, but to be governor of my people, the only ambition that I and my peoiple fairly and impartially, and my people fairly and impartialy, honorably and straightforward, and to stand by my friends. "In closing my speech on the state house steps, a few night ago, I said: ‘My friends, disperse, and go to your homes without a parade and without boisterousness; try and forget and for give the bitterness and hatred of the campaign; let’s all join hands with our fellowmen, both our opponents and our friends, and work together in one com mon cause for the uplift and upbuild of the people, the peace, happiness and prosperity of our state, and of ourselves and may God, in his all-wise Providence direct me that I may serve my people better, and that I may serve Him bet ter in the future than I have in the past and may we all sing, with one glo rious acclaim, "Praise God From Whom All Blessings Flow.’ ” "I repeat that now, senator. Will you join with me and help me, or will you join with those who are endeavoring to show that white South Carolianians have stolen from each other at the ballot box and further endeavoring to show to all the natibns ot the earth that your fa ther and mine (and you) are raising your children ,to steal from each other and defraud at (be ballot-box? ■ ELECTED FAIRLY ANIJ SQUARELY. "I believe that I have been elected fairly and squarely for, so far as every recount that has been made, shows a gain for me in the votes cast. The people have risen, they have Indorsed me in my administration, giving me a victory ..the greatest the state has ever known, and we propose to have it stand. “You speak of Dr. Babcock. To this I need make no reply, for, you yourself, have admitted enough. “As to helping me grant pardon® or giving me advise, I thank you very much. If your services are needed, you will be called, but you need no\fear be ing disturbed from any of your regular duties along that line. You also say that < have stolen the affection of your people from you. Not true, senator; in this contest and crisis of political affairs, it is not that they love Tillman less, but that they trust Cole L. Blease more. "Very respectfuly, . "COLE L. BLEASE." Alabama in Drydock (By Associated Press.) NEW YORK. Sept. 2.—The battle ship Alabama, is at the Brooklyn navy yard today, preparing to go into dry dock. The Alabama's officers said that there is trouble with t’ae ship's ma chinery and she may be laid up for MEN ON SOUTHERN OOMS MU GO OUT ON STRIKE Demands of the Southern Association of Railway Conductors and Trainmen for increased pay and better working condi tions will be presented to representatives of the railroads at a conference to be held in Washington, D. C., Monday. The association includes practically every railroad of Importance in the south, among them being the Southern, Central of Georgia, Seaboard Air Line, Atlantic Coast Line, Mobile and Ohio, Queen and Crescent and Norfolk and Southern. The men wifi be represented in the conference by A. B. Garretson of Cedar Rapids, lowa, president of the Order of Railway Conductors, and Vai Fitz patrick, of Cleveland, Ohio, vice presi dent of the Order of Railway Trainmen. It is understood the demands differ according to local conditions on the dif ferent roads. The average pay increase which the men demand is said to be 15 per cent. The men have voted on whether or not they will strike if the railroads refuse their demands. How the vote stands is not known, but the impression prevails among the men that a majority voted to strike. The ballot boxes have been sent to the representatives of the men at Washington and will be opened there. WILSON IS ACCLAIMED BY THOUSANDS OF LABORITES Continued From Page One. th e governor’s personal aide, who died yesterday at Hoboken of typhoid fever. Governor Wilson will not return to Seagirt from Hoboken, but will spend the balance of the day in seclusion lit New York, preparatory to leaving for Buffalo at 10:30. WILSON’S PLANS. The governor announced tonight that he would spend next Wednesday in New York, filling two engagements. At 5 o’clock in the afternoon he wilt meet the editors of the foreign lan guage newspapers, and at 3 o'clock he will be the guest of honor at a dollar dinner to be given by the Wilson-Mar shall Workmen’s club, in the Yorkville casino. He was to have met the sai lors of foreign language newspaper? today, but the appointment waa post poned. Concerning his conference today with Vice Chairman McAdoo, Governor Wil son declared that nothing definite han been decided about further speaking appointments. The whole question is being carefully gone over by the cam paign committee, and a number of ad ditional speaking dates are under con sideration, said the governor.

DepL Chicago ■ BULL MOOSE IS A PIEBLD ANIMAL, DECLARES WILSON (Continued from Page 1.) general taxpayer and put into the pocket of /particular classes of protected manufacturers, but that his concern is that so little of this money gets into the pockets of the employes. I have searched his program very thoroughly for an indication of what he expecta to see to it that a larger proportion of this •prize’ money gets into the pay envelope, and I have found only one suggestion. "There is a plank in the program which speaks of establishing minimum, or living, wages for woman workers, and I suppose that we may assume that the principle is not in the long run meant to be confined to women only. Perhaps we are justified in assuming that the third party looks forward to the general estab lishment by law of a minimum wage. It is very likely, ,1 take it for granted, that if a minimum wage were established by law. the great majority of employers would take occasion to bring their wage scale as nearly as might be down to the level of that minimum, and It would be very awkward for the workingman to resist that process successfully be cause it would be dangerous to strike against the authority of the federal gov ernment. However, most of his employers, at any rate practically all of the most powerful of his employers, would be wards and proteges of that very govern ment which is the master of us all. The government is to set up a commis sion whose duty it will be, not to check or defeat it, but merely to regulate it tinder rules which it is itself to frame and develop. So that the chief employ ers will have this tremendous authori ty behind them; what they do they will have the license of the federal gov ernment to do, including the right to pay the wages approved by the gov ernment. "And it is worth the while of the working men of the country to recall what the attitude toward organized la bor has been of the masters of consol idated interests whgm the federal gov ernment is to take under its patronage as well as under its control. They have always been the stout opponent of organized labor and they have tried to undermine it in a great many ways "Some of the ways they have adopted have worn the guise of philanthropy and good will, and have no doubt been used, for all I know, ta perfect good faith. Some of them have set up sys tems of profit-sharing, of compensation for injuries and of bonuses and even pensions, but every one of these plans has rarelv bound their working men more tightly to ttiemselves. Their rights under these various arrange ments are not legal rights. They are mere# privileges which they enjoy so long as they remain in the employment and observe the rules of the great in dustry which employs them. If they refuse to be weaned away from their Independence, they cannot continue- to enjoy the benefits extended to them. LEGALIZES MONOPOLIES. “When you have thought the whole thing out. therefore, you will find that the program of the new party legalizes monopolies and systematically subordi nates workingmen to them and to plans made by the government both with re gard to employment and with regard to wages. By what means, except upon revolt, could we ever break the crufet of our life again and become freemen, breathing an air of our own choosing and living that wrought out for our selves? Perhaps this new and all-con quering combination between money and government would be benevolent to us. perhaps it would carry out the noble program of social betterment which so many credulously expect of it; but who can assure us of that? Who will give bond that it will be general and gracious and pitiful and righteous? What man or set of men can make us secure under it by theix empty promise and assurance that it will take care of us and be good? "It is like coming out of a close and stifling air into the open, where we can breathe fully again and see the free spaces of the heavens above us, to turn away from such a program, the Identical program suggested to committees of con gress by Mr. Gary and Mr. Perkins. Democratic leaders turn away from any plan to legalize monopoly and give a fed eral commission leave to say how much of it there should be, because they know exactly what that would mean. What they purpose is the restoration of free dom. What we need is the regulation of competition and the prosecution of what has created monopoly. When you havfe regulated it, you have in effect restored it." •r ■ TurmgSeed f Send us 25c. for 7-ozs. \ I of the best Turnip Seeds \ you ever planted.
