Pleas by Richard I.

Charles A. Smith appealed- for the unification of the people and urged them to work together for construc tive measures to benefit the various interests of the citizenry. The advocacy here of compulsory education by John G. Cltnkscales was received without the customary ap plause, though the diminishing crowd quietly listened to his argument for a statewide law. Lawlessness In. Columbia, and In Charleston was denounced'by Robt. A. Cooper, candidate for governor, who emphatically urged rigid enforce ment of the laws. Indications of a possibly "warm" meeting came early In the meeting when Jas. A. Summerset, candidate for comptroller general, opposing Comptroller Gent. Jones for re-elec tion, became Involved with his op ponent in a wordy war. After Summerset had severely crltl slscd his opponent's official acts Jones Inquired "who pays your campaign expenses?''
