State Executive Committee to
Hear Charges of Fraud in
Recent Primary.
COLUMBIA, S. C„ Sept. 9 With the
meeting of the stub-committee of .even
of the state executive committee on
Wednesday at noon in the state tbrnry
will rest in large part the fate of the
South Carolina primary, an Institution
created by Hon. B R. Tilhuan whan
governor of the state in 1890, and also
the decision as to wheClier Colo L.
Bl ease is re-elected governor or wheth
er he and Judge Ira. B. Jones win enter
the general election as candidates for
the name office both representing the
Democraftc party. The committee Is
investigating election fraud and it may
be that it will find enough Illegal vote®
tn cainse the deft*.* for renomtnatlon
of Goaeemor Biens®
It Is generally conceded that theme.
*r® four courses open to the conrmlrtee
—<o find illegal votes and throw them
out, in which case a suffii’leart number
may be thrown out to cause the elec
tion of Judge Jones and the overthrow
of the srppeiw.t nenninatioo of Govern
or B lease; to take cognizance of the
tzmny filed protests and allegations of
fraud and declare the first primary void
and.order it to be held again. In which
case a second primary would folkrw two
weeks later; tofieclare Governor Bloase
the nominee in spite of the many jtto
fests against the recent primary, or
else refuse to eet eside the party enn
•tttutlon and to order that the two cara
didates enter the general election, the
party haying no nominee, and there
battle for the governorship. The last
seems in evitable.
Likely to Split State.
South Carolina 1« In the midst of a
greet political reformation There 1s
much speculation to the affect 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 w hether there were enough hw
gal vots cast for Governor Biease to
declare him renominated. If the coffn
mittee finds this to be the case, it twill
deciare Blease the party nominee
There is much speculation as tt> the
authority the committee has and as to
w hether or not the probe will mean that
there will be no second primary and
that the candidates will have to enter
Tndependently 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 the party constitution, will
mean that the.no will bo.no second x<rl
- 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
tkm. Reports of fraud have been made
from many counties and the county
committee® are making Investigations
to assist the work of the state com
mittee. Fwr the past ten days there
hwiß been Btsfix an outcry against the
jjrfanary system that ft is almost cer
tain that there will never again be
beM another aTong the nemo line as
tlnst of two week® ago, The committee
Which ha® in hand the election probe
wUJ likely make suggestions to the
state ocntvwxrtlcai as to the abolition or.
what is more likely. the restriction of
the primary.

this county 30 men whose names were
