REPUBLICAN CONVENTION All Counties of State Represented ly Whites and Blacks. LEADERSHIP OF TOLBERT CONFIRMEE Women Represented by Nogro from Georgetown?^Demand for Fair Representation?Ntw Executive Committee Chosen. Columbia State, Wednesday. At tho state convention of the Uhion Republican party or souin wruun# held yesterday in the Lincoln theater on Washington street, Joseph W. Tolbert was reelected state chairman of the executive committee, a party platform was adopted, numerous speeches ' were made in Which it was said that a brighter day for the Republican party in this state was dawning, and several resolutions were adopted. In one of these resolutions, the conven' tion indorsed Joseph W. Tolbert for United States marshal of the Westers district of South Carolina and requested that the appointment be recommended by the Judiciary committer and confirmed by the senate. The convention was well attended and the large number of white men in attendance was especially noticeable; It was said that approximately 65 per , cent, of the delegates present were white. One woman delegate, Alethta Sweat, from Dorchester county, attended the convention and was intro* duoed to the assemblage from the platform. For a time she was the only negro woman present In the theater. She sat on the platforip throughout the proceedings of the convention. Throughout the convention the pow. cr wielded by Joe Tolbert over the delegates arid the high place he held in their esteem war manifested; when he, in the course of an address said "we want men, white men and black men, in our parts?men who love South Carolina and who want to see her grow and prosper?and you can look around you now and see that it ,can not be said that there is no one in the Republican party in South Carolina except Joe Tolbert and two negroes?" when he uttered those statements, tremendous cheers greeted his remarks and the convention applauded him vigorously. Again when J. R. Levy of Florence made a speech in which he said that Mr. Tolbert held the position of national committeeman and also that of state chairman and said "if the Republican party in the state Is composed of more than one man. it ought to divide things up" and suggested that John F. Jones of Blacksburg be made sta^.e chairman, there were calls for "Tolbert." Almost every < man wlm convention praised Tolbert and told of his long service to the party, and of the influence which he had exerted in its ( behalf. k. Tolbert Ma?es Speech. When the meeting was called to order in the Lincoln theater, newspaper representatives wero called to the platform and provided with a table. -After a few* introductory exercises, g Mr. Tolbert advanced to the front of the stage and made the first speech of the day. "Two parties are necessary for the best interests of any state," he said. "The spirit of America is not to disfranchise but to give liberty. Members of our party pay taxes; they work the roads; they engage in the liattles of the*nation; why should they not have privileges that are denied them in the Southland? I have no mission but to build up our state, for 2 years I have tried to get the right guaranteed to us. We are not here for any purposo but to better conditions in South Carolina. Wo aro not here to run any party man lor office;- we are here for the peace and prosperity 01 South Carolina. I lova this state as much as any man: my people came from County Antrim, Ireland 349 years ago, and no one else has ever owned the land that the Tolberts own today; we are not clamoring for any thing we have no light to. "The time has come when there should be two parties in our state. Every one is supposed to have some political rights?and wc can not be disfranchised by a grin nor a sneer. Wo believe the constitution of South Carolina should be enforced in every particular, especially where men's rights are concerned, c . "When we go to the places of registration with our tax receipts and say, Register me,' we should be registered if the registration law is valid. I have fought for enfranchisement and have been buffeted and beaten, but I am not | discouraged and feel that there is hope ahead of us. "I see here ten times as many men as were ever at any Lily White convention; I see hen men of wealth and influence. Our party has awakened? as the Lily Whites went the 'sho nuff' whites caine?and they are not the kind that wither in a bottle, but men who can help us win our fight." He spoke briefly of the fight made aguinst the Lily White, faction and of that against "John McLaurln, Doc Adams & Co." and said, "The Tolbert organization has gotten every appointment from the president of the United States in South Carolina and every appointment due to be made has been mad"." At the conclusion of Mr. Tolbert's ^ speech there was prolonged cheering and cries of "Tolbert! Tolbert!" Call of Roll. H. H. Mobley called the roll by counties, the delegates responding as . the.ir names were called. T. E. Lewis served as assistant secretary with Mobley. R. H. Richardson of Sumter presided while the roll was being called. * After the roll call Ernest F.

A committee on credentials was appointed and while this committee was preparing a report a number of speeches were made. Bishop W. D. Chappelle stressed the importance of . ofiairaHftn' .T D E. Mever of Char ! ston said he had once been a democrat and told why he had become a Republican?"only a fool never changes his mind," he said, in speaking on "Why People of South Carolina are Democrats." M. B. Lee of Lancaster said he liked Mr. Meyer's speech, as he liked to hear a "converted" man talk; "I'm glad." he said, "when the colored man has got something the' white man is willing to associate with. We'll help make South Carolina n great state." Turning to Mr. Tolbert he said, "You would not be my friend if you made me postmaster at Columbia," and a voice in the audience said: "No?some one would kill you." S. J. Leaphart said the convention was the most representative he had seen in cs^,,,?v, Cot-niino t s,' Earlp of Suartan burg said the Republican party was more alive than it had been for years. D. A. Pcrrin of Georgetown in a short speech paid a tribute to the leadership of Mr. Tolbert. The Rev. Frederick C. Redfern of Benedict collego made a speech, in which he told of the achievements of the Republican party; Maj. J. Jones and J. A. Tolbert, Jr., also spoke. Convention in Hubbub. Permanent organization was effected by the election of J. H. Goodwin of Columbia, chairman; R. H. Richardson, Sumter, vice chairman and H. H. Mobley, secretary. L. A. Hawkins attempted to introduce a resolution which provided for a change in the rules of the party by which the state chairman's term of office would be reduced from four years to two years. The reading of this resolution threw the convention into a hubbub and it was only after some time had elapsed that quiet was restored and N. J. Frederick of Columbia nominated Joseph W. Tolbert as state chairman for four years. The NEUTRAL ZONE THRI \ eTlTlTg a pia vj \ ---.A JUGOVa^ J 5LAVIA/AC?ADR!AKCFI.C V ?.?> ' \v^^V?D THRACEA^pS tit fisr i /"^o Off MAf ,.

South Carolina and submitted a num- ] ber of resolutions which were adopted. ] The closing paragraphs of the plat- i form were as follows: "We heartily indorse the assiduous j efforts of the Hon. Joseph W. Tolbert as the leader of the Republican forces of South Carolina. His work in the ] state and in Washington is worthy of commendation and praise. He has j earned any honor that is within the i gift of the Union Republican party. The great responsibilities ought to be shared by others in our ranks to secure favorable consideration for the party. Stand together in unity. Seek reform within the ranks. As intelligent and conscientious Republicans determine what the party shall be in South Carolina. As a minority party we stand for its prosperity and success.
