wsh made after the two mad cars

The failure of the robbers to make

that the express car, which con

The Alleged Campaign Manager ,
(jives His Views ?Just Back
From Greenville. I
Tha State, 31?t nit. ?
Mr. W. D. M i field, the alleged '
manager of Senator MeLaurin's
campaign, has returned from a
short trip to Greenville.
As to whether he has heen appointed
campaign manager, Mr.
.Mav field did not care to say anything
of a definite nature, hut
gave the evasive leplv that <4in
due course of time the arrangementa
and appointments of Senator
Mc.Laurin will he announced."
For information about Colum
hia'a postmastership he suid he
was not the man to come to. He j
could >ee no reason why Dr. '
Ensor should not fee' confident ofbeing
retained because there was
no short ige in the post office accounts
here, as was the cnsn in
Greenville, and a Republican admini
tration would Imrdlv turn
out one of ilH own party who was
giving satisfaction to the community,
in order to make room
for r Democrat
"In Greenville," Mr. Mavfield
continued, "the situation was i
quite different. The post mas
ter was reported by the inspector
to be incompetent and
furthermore there was a shortage i
in his clerk's accounts of $1,100
Mr. May field, having just re- i
turned from Greenville wnere he i
was in consultation with Senator
McLaurin, it was hoped would
have something to ssy for public
nation in regard to the senator's
Mntemplated action about the i
State committee's action.

no oiHcul communication

ind, until he does, he will cer- .
airily not make any reply.
"I, of course, don't know what

f the resolutions:

''However, now that they have

to specif\ uometh'njj. Let the

committee state just when and v

to he other than a Demo- c
crat. It thev will look up the
records at Washington they vrill c
see where Tillman h?>? advocated *
more measures proposed hy the (
Republicans than has McLaurin. '
The records show that, Just let 1
the committee do that all by itHelf
without anv hosting or dictating '

at Tillman's hands. '
"My opinion is that the effect '
of this will be decidedly in Vic- '
Laurie's favor. The resolutions 1
can't keep him out of the primary, '
hilt they can do a lot to put him 1
through the primary. I
"The only thing that will pre- '
vet t Mr. McLanrin from tunning 1
in the primary is for the conven- I
lion to make the radical move of 1
changing the oath This the con
vent ion will hardly do unless it 1
subserves itself to Tillman's 'boss (
ing,' s thing which I do no-, uii
ticipato. I
"That action of the committee
snows that the 'buss" hits changed
hi a luetics. At (Jaffn^y Tillman '
Mtitl; 'I'll fight to keep McLkii- j
tin in the primary,' and now he
is lighting to keep him out. 1
Mr. May field was asked as to J
the charge made by Senator Till- 1
man at the meeting the other 1
night about "MeLiurin's buying 1
up the newspaper," and he said: '
' The assertion that Mr. McLau- 1
rin is buying up any newspaper '
is a lie.'' '
