"'I WiW Be Governor of All The People" Official Statement Itoued by Richard I. Manning In Columbia Wednesday Afternoon Special to The Intelligencer Columbia. Sept. 9.?The state demo cratic executive committee has been called to meet in Columbia at noon next Tuesday in the library of the state iiouse to canvass the returns and declare the result of the second primary election. "I will be governor of all the peo ple," said Richard I. Manning, gover nor.nominate of South Carolina, in a statement issued Wednesday while in Columbia. Mr. Manning came over from his home in Sumter and was greeted by hundreds of Columbians as he walked along Main street to his headquarters. The following state ment was' given out by Mr. Manning: "1 wish to express my thanks to the whole people of South Carolina for the tremendous vote I received means but one thing?that the principles I advocate, law and order, peace and harmony, struck a responsive chord in the hearts' of our people. "I cannot single out any set of men to whom the result of this election is due, since so many men in so many places worked so steadfastly and so earnestly for our cause. To the farm ers, the merchants, the mechanics, the textile workers, the traveling and pro fessional men, and to all others' who contributed to the wonderful result, my profound thanks are due and are hereby given. Except in this state ment to the public it will be physical ly Impossible for me to express my heartfelt appreciation to the loyal friends who worked with and for me. "I would be wide of the mark if I did not express my earnest apprecia tion of the splendid work done by the newspapers of the state. The press as a whole was untiring in its effort to show the people only the true is sues and to print public matters in a true light. "It would be ingratitude on my part | however, not to mention especially the loyal support given me by my | home people In Sumter and by the] members of the 'Young Men's Man ning Club' of Sumter, whose loyalty) and devotion were a. source of strength and inspiration to me throughout the long campaign. "I consider that the result of the campaign of 1914 Is' a triumph for all the agencies which work for the mor al uplift of our people and not as a personal victory. "In conclusion, I wish to say, as I have said many times before, that as governor of South Carolina I will be governor of all the people; that 1 yill not recognize any faction, but that I will serve the whole people to the utmost of my strength, and capacity, with heart and head devoted only to their welfare."

"We must come out triumphant in this struggle," continued, the chan cellor, "and as finance is going to play a very important part we must husband our resources. We do not want a penny spent which is not ab solutely essential to relieve distress. In my judgment the last few hundred millions may win this war. "The . first hundred millions our enemy can stand as well as w?, but the last they can't; thank God! There, fore, I think cash Is going to count much more-than we imagine. At the present moment we only are at the beginning; we are fighting a tough enemy who is well prepared for the fight and probably will fight to the vjy end. before ho will accept the only conditions upon which we can possibly make peace. "It we are-wise, that is where our resourea will come in, not merely of men, but of cash. We.have won with a silver bullet ? before.
