Wednesday Mr. Crenshaw came down from his mountain home at Holly Springs, Cherokee county, and made a peremptory demand t^pon Secretary of State Phil Cook to have his name put upon the election blank as a candidate for that office. At first. Secretary Cook declined, ns the blanks were then In the hands of the printer, and furthermore, It had been his Invariable custom In the past to put only the names of the nominees of parties thereon. He explained to the. former railroad commissioner that the Democratic par ty had furnished the names of Its nom inees and that the Socialist party had done likewise nnd the names of the candidates'of these two parties were an the blanks. Had the Republicans or Populists made nominations, their names would have gone on also. Mr. Crenshaw Insisted that ho had the right to have hla name inserted In the blanks, as he was a candidate, nnd had as much right to have It there as Mr. Mt-Lepdon or Hoke Smith, or uny other man. Referred to Attorney General, Secretary Cook then asked him to file a written demand. Thla Mr. Cren shaw- did. The former then referred tills demand to Attorney General Hart. The nttorney general held that It was question of practicability and the secretary of state muJt determine that for himself.
