THC STATE CAMPAIGN.
lt Looks ns if it Was Going to Bc tho Santo
Old Hot Stuff.
Tho first mooting of tho Stato oanv
paign was hold at Orangoburg last Th?rs?
day morning. Il oponod up quietly, hut
foro its ul080 grow rathol warm. Tho
principal surprise was the entry of Mr.
A. C. .tones, former Prohibition chair
man, as a candidato for thc Tinted
States .sonate, ti. Walt Whitmnn failed
to ante with his $r>(> because of his ina
bility lo raise the money, and conse
quently was not allowed to outer the
race.
Qovornor McSwoouoy was tho first
speaker. He reviewed bis record ns
Governor, discussed the Impracticability
of prohibition and defended bis admin
istration of the dispensary law. The
Qovornor was well roooived und ut che
conclusion of his speech was e.hoorcd
heartily.
Go) on ol Hoyt was roooived with warm
applause, but was not allowed lo make
his speech without continuous interrup
tions. Ile followed the general line of
his recent address to thc Prohibitionists
of the Stato, arguing against tho princi
ple of lin- State's engaging in the bqttor
business. Whoil bc closed be wns the
recipient of Howers and various pledges
of support.
Mi. A. ll. Patterson told bow be had
formerly hoon fl Prohibitionist : but had
boon convinced of the impracticability
of prohibition in the light of further ex
perience and had reformed, tlc charged
Gololiol Hoyt with favoring a coalatioa
between thc Prohibitionists and thc high
license crowd, and cited the position of
thc Columbia State on the question ns
proof. Ile then jumped on Qovornor
McSwooncy, charging him with d?robe
hm, nf duty in nol attempting to sur
press thc blind tiger business in (maries
t,m Inn actually conniving at violations
,,' :ltc lav. Ile repealed a nowspapoi
charge to thc effect that thc Qovornor is
a patron ot blind tigers, and claimed
?hat Hie Governoi was irving to suits!
tl i KO tin State press bj an unlawful use
ot the contingent fund for tho paynton!
ol subscriptions to countrypapors. The
(tovernoi denied that he was a patron of
blind tigers. Ile tohi Mr. Patterson
that ever j Qovornor from tlngood down
had subscribed for the county papors,
ami ?hal if Patterson would read these
papers he would he much bettor in
formed.
Mi I", li. Gary delivered n straight fm
Wan i \pression of his views on various
mailers without indulging in person
alities ol nnj objectionable nature. His
dispensing views arc as have already
licet published in thc KKOWKI COI UIKK,
Iii maintained ?hal it was neither II
written liol an unwritten law that the
Govornoi should have a second term bj
reason ol a clean administration ni the
Inst. When Hampton went to thc

declared wai against the world when the
'Pukli forts opened upon the international
