CLOSE RAGE BETWEEN
CANSLER AND AUGIANb
HEAVIEST VOTE EVER POLLED 1
IN SECOND PRIMARY.
Over One Hundred Thousand Votes
Accounted For-Smith Leads by
27,000-Swearingen Wins
a
The vote cast in the Democratic t
State primary Tuesday smaished more
then one record. Not only was Mr.
John Gary Evans defeated by the -
biggest majority which has ever been 1
polled against him, but the total vote g
cast has exceeded by probably 20,000
the heaviest vote ever befi'e east in i
a second primary in South Carolina.
It is probable that the total vote P
will approximate 104,000, and will 1
therefore equal that of. the first pri- t
mary two weeks ago. C
M.r: Smith, according to the re
turns on Thursday morning, leads
Mr. Evans by 26,583 votes and is 1
still gaining. His total vote stands
63,328, against 36,745 fpr Mr. Evans.
Not until the offiei al returns are
tabulated will the result of the 'rail
road commissiner's race be definite- a
ly known. Mr. Caughm....n is now
leading Mr. Cansler by less than
three bidued votes, but the unre- F
ported vote may easily put Cansler c
ahead. At present the vote in this
oentest stands, Cansler 48,744 and
Ca:glzman 49,022.
Mr.: John E. Swearingen has a lead
of more than 11,000 votes in the race Ir
for State superintendent of educa- S
tiom, and has, of 'eourse, won the
nomination -for this office.
Congressman Finley has been re
elected in the 5th district, .his vote C
standing 8,724 to Mr. Butler's 6,198. C
Mr. J. E. Elerbe has been returned
to Congress from the 6th district,
