6 s. cm m ID BE SETTLED kui State Executive Committee to Hear Charges of Fraud in Recent Primary. COLIMBIA. S Sept. 9 With fix meeting nf the sub-committee of seven of the state < xecutive committee on Wednesday at noot tn the state library will rest in larg, part the fat' of the South Carolina primary. an institution created by Hon. R. R. Tillman when governor of the state in 1890. and also the decision as to whether Cole L. Rlea.se is re-elected governor or wheth er he and Judge Ira R Jones win enter the general election as candidates for tjie same office, both representing the Demecra.de party. The committee is investigating election fraud and it may be that it will find enough illegal vot«; to cause the defeat for renomtnation of Governor Hlea.se. It is generally conceded that there are four courses open to the committee •—Io find illegal votes and throw them out, in which case a sufficient number may be thrown out to cause the elec tion of Judge Jones and the overthrow of the apparent nomination of Govern or Blease; to take cognizance of the many filed protests and allegations of fraud and declare the first primary void sttd-ordeir it to be held again, in which case a second primary would follow two weeks later; to declare Governor Rlease the nominee in spite of the many pro tests against tha recent primary, or rise refuse to set aside the party con (rtHucion and to order that the two can didates enter the general election, the party having no nominee, and there battle for the governorship. The last seems 1 n ev 1 table. Likely to Spilt State. South t'arolina is in the midst of a greet political reformation. There is much speculation to the effect that the settlement of the present situation will divide the state into two political par ties The committee which meets Wednes day will make a thorough investigation of the charges that have been made against the recent primary and will de termine whether there were enough le gal vote east for Governor Biease to dei lare him renominated. If the com mittee finds this to he the ease. It will de. lare Blea.se the party nominee. There is much speculation as to the authority the committee has and as to whether or not the probe will mean that there will he no second primary and that the candidates will have to enter Independently into the general election, rhe rules of the Democratic party state that "a second primary, when necessa ry. shall be held two weeks after the first." and there is a general belief that the investigation for fraud, which will not begin till Wednesday, the day aft er lhe second primary date, a** pro vided in the party constitution, will mean that theme will be no seentid pri mary this year. To Reform Primary System The primary system of South Caro lina Is such that fraud is easily prac ticed and often impossible of detec tion. Reports of fraud have been made from many counties and the county committees are making investigations tn assist the work of the state com mittee. hYtr the past, ten days there twis been such an outcry against the primary system that it is almost Cer tain that there will never again be held another along tlie same line as that of two woks ago. The committee Which hae in hand the election probe will likely make suggestions to the state cotrveartian lie to the abolition or. what is more likely, the restriction of the primary. 30 Who Were Not On Rolls Voted ANDERSON, F.
