State Executive Committee to
Hear Charges of Fraud in
Recent Primary.
COLUMBIA, S. C„ Sept. 9. With the
meeting of the sub-committee of seven
of the state executive committee on
Wednesday at noon in the state library'
will rest in large part the fate of the
South Carolina primary, an institution
created by Hon H K Tillman when
governor of the state in 1890, and also
the decision an to whether Cole L M
BJease 1s re-elected governor or whTls
er-tie and Judge Ira B. Jones will enber
the general election ns candtontea for
the name office, both represmtingrthe
Democratic party. The committee Is
Investigating election fraud and 1t may
be that It ■will find enough Illegal votes
to catrae the dcfea.t for renoinlnatlon
of fJcnsemor Blemae.
It 1e generally conceded that there
are tour courses open to the committer
—<o find Illegal votes and throw them
oat. In which esse a sufficient number
may be thrown out to cause the elec
tion of Judge Jones end the overthrow
of the apparent nomination of Govern
or Bleeee, to take cognizance of the
ranrry filed protests and allegations of
fraud end dochwr The first primary void
snAorfsr tt to bo held again. 1n which
casee seoortd primary would follow two
wwfts later; to fieclare Governor Blease

tests against the recent primary, or
etee refuse to set aside the party con
stMutJcn and to order that the two can
ffldatee enter the general election, the
party having no nomtnea. end th-re
battle for the governorship. The last,
seomsTn evitable. e
Likely to Split State.
Routh Clarollna 1s 1n 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 tho charges that have been made
against the recent primary and will de
termine whether there wore enough le
gal vots cast for Governor Bleaao to
ci-clare him renominated If tho com
mittee finds thia to he the case, it will
de .are Bleaso tho party nominee..
There is much speculation as to the
authority the committee has and as to
v. helht r or not the probe will mean that
there will be no second primary and
that ti e candidates will have to enter
independently into the general election.
The 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 the second primary date, as pro
vided In tho party constitution, will
mean ttiat there will be no second pri
mary this year.
