Old timers In the political game
In South Carolina cannot unite
reconcile themselves to the amai
illg spectacle of Cole 1,. Hleaao
conducting a campaign on such a
basis and without a single deroga
tory remark spoken a lain t Ilia op
ponents. For this is the same
Rlease who hud an Inexhaustible
fund of doiiuiiclatlon fur his riv
als. the same lllense who shocked
many persons by the freedom with
which he exercised his pardoning
power while governor from 1911
to Hi 15. the Hlease who was al
ways regarded. at* "one. of thp_
boy a" and favored things being
more or less wide open, the Itlcaae
who bitterly opposed America 'a
entrance into tin- World War and
laid the blood of American sol
diers on I he head of Woodrow
Wilson.
This apparent nn tiimorphosla

say, represents not bin? more than
a new political strategy. If it
