B lease hooted at the idea. He could not understand why a man should give up the highest honor in South Carolina to become a candidate for governor, and dev clared with much gust that he could beat Ira Jones or anybody else." , The record of Gov. Hleuso is cer tainly assailable, From tho moment he was inaugurated until the pres ent time, he lias broker, precedents violated the constitution and brought reproach on his Slate. He has a following. ol about 3H.000 voters out ot 110,000 voters, and his election' was made possible in 1910 by tha refusal ot the majority of voters to accept prohibition lor the whole Stale.
