SOUTH CAROLINA REFUSED TO INSTRUCT FOR WILSON (CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1). table which the convention refused to do by an almost unanimous vote. Mr. Stevenson withdrew his objection to the Henderson amendment, and it was adopted, nor, however, until the convention voted to adopt the rules of the house of representatives. The Stevenson resolution was then adopted. The clerk called the roll of the counties and they named their members of the respective committees. A resolution calling for the reopening of lists to candidates after time for filing pledges has closed, in the event of the death of a candidate, was offered by Mr. Lewis W. Parker and t/\ tho rocnl 111 i mi s mm mitt ftp I 4 v-u CV A vwv*v?v--?A^ Wilson Resolution. Mr. Thomas, on behalf of the Richland delegation, offered a resolution endorsing Wood row Wilson and instructing the delegation to Baltimore! for him. This was received with ap- j plause and Mr. Thomas made a rous- ] ing speech in favor of his resolution, j lauding Governor Woodrow Wilson as | the hope of Democracy and the one | "who could lead the Democratic hosts to victory, and pointing out why the delegation to Baltimore should be in-! structed for Wilson. _ _ i <Joi. 1). s. Henderson, m oenan 01; the Aiken delegation, offered a reeolu- i tion that the delegation to Baltimore be sent uninstructed and be left un-; trammelled. His resolution caused great applause. Col. Henderson, while ; expressing the warmest admiration for Governor Wilson, opposed instructions and said that above Wilson and all others was the Democratic party. He said if Taft is nominated by the Republicans, Wilson is tine logical candidate for the Democrats; but if the Republicans nominate Roosevelt, the Democrats must nominate some can- ; didate who can carry New York, and the great Eastern States. He made aj stirring speech against instructions,. arguing for the Palmetto State's delegation to be sent to Baltimore free to vote for the Democrat who had the j best chance of election. He was re-1 ceived with cheer after-cheer. Reference to Bryan. Speaker M. L. Smith-, pointing out: that the Democrats must make the fight on the tariff issue; praising the splendid record of Congressman Underwood; praising Woodrow Wilson, amid drowning applause, pointing out \ X _ I tnat conditions may yet arise wmcu would call for the nomination of William Jennings Bryan, opposed instruc- : tions in a speech which was well re- ; ceived. i' Mr. Padgett moved that speeches be : limited to five minutes, which Mr.;: Hagsdale moved to lay on the table. < A division having been demanded, the!; convention refused to lay the motion ] on the table. Col. Springs moved as a j substitute that it be made ten minutes, i' i which was promptly tabled. The mo- ; tion to limit speeches to five minutes was then adopted. j< Mr. H. D. Calhoun, whose county of j Barnwell instructed for Wilson-, oner- < ed a resolution endorsing "Wilson, but t allowing the delegation to Baltimore: j to change to any other candidate at: i any time r majority of the delegation j should so decide. He offered his reso-I( lution as a substitute. Mr. Stevenson i favored the resolution permitting the \ delegation at any time on a two-thirds j vote to change to any other candidate! that they might wish. He then made c a ringing speech for instructing for j ] Wilson on the above conditions. t For and Against Instructions. s Gen. M. L.

JlUL Zjpvvv/U \sy posed instructions. Mr. Graydon said | there was no sentiment in Abbeville calling for the nomination of Wilson, and their convention voted down instructions. Senator Weston, pointing out that ,only Mair.e and New York, of the States which had acted, had sent their delegations uninstructed, spoke in favor of instructions, making an appeal on the ground of Wilson having once been a resident of this State. Mr. J. A. Lewis, of Horry, "as a c backwoodsman," favored instructions c i.i a speech filled with humor. "Hur- r rah for Horry," rtvounded through the g "hall and c-n motion his time was ex- t I ' tended five minutes. t Mr. J. J.

He referred to ;>:i article by Mr. Stevenson some months ago I advocating Cuamp Clark ior president, and his now advocating instructions i'or "Wilson, as an argument against instructions, and when Mr. Stevenson replied that lie had changed because Clark had made a fool of himself. quick as a flash Mr. Pollock replied: "All the more reason why we ;shouldn't instruct; some other Democrat might make a fool of himself bej fore the convention." This brought forth applause. Uuinstructed Delegation.

Mr. Pollock made a point of order, but the chair ruled against j him. The following counties were counted and the chairman of the re- i spective delegations announced the vote on the substitute, which was re jected, 122 to 218. Tne vote on me i Henderson resolution, which was that the delegates to Baltimore be unin-j I cstructed, then came up. It wras adopt-; ed, 178 to 162, and instructions were] defeated. The delegation wTill go to: Baltimore uninstructed. When the1 vote was announced the "uninstructed" advocates broke into a cheer. Mr/ Henderson then put the clincher on. The vote on the D. S. Henderson resolution, namely, refusing to instruct the South Carolina delegation to Baltimore for any particular candidate for the Democratic presidential nomination, by counties, was as follows: j ("Aye" meaning against instructions and "no" as opposed to the Hender-1 son resolution): Abbeville, aye 4, no 4; Aiken, ay? 8; Anderson, aye 14; j Bamberg, aye 3, no 3; Barnwell, aye 4, no 4; Beaufort, aye 1. no 5; Berkef ley, aye 6; Calhoun, no 4; Charleston, aye 17, no 1; Cherokee, aye 4, no 2; Chester, aye 1, no 7; Chesterfield, aye 4, no 2; Clarendon, aye S; Colleton,1 aye 6; Darlington, aye 5, no 1; Fair- ' field, no 8; Darlington, aye 2, no 6; !

Hunters' License liesolution. The following resolution was intro auced Dy tne -Kicmanu county delegation: "We advocate the conservation of the natural assets of the State, which are still in the hands of the people as a whole. Believing that the insectivor ous birds of the State are the only : true check to insect pests, we advocate the enforcement of the laws protect- j ing them. Realizing fully the' great j value of the game birds and animals of the State, from a financial standpoint as well as from the standpoint of recreation, and as those whom the 'State permits to take these birds and o.rrimals should compensate the State, .a some meas1 re ior tne use oi rais j asset, we belie'e that a hunter's license is the most effective and practical way of reax'ving something from this asse', as well as a method of rais- i ing money for the i mpose of paying ^ame wardens, and no", only conserving the fish and game of the State, but j of enforcing the laws with respect to 1 the insectivorous birds. "We therefore call upon such Dem-1 ocrats as are elcted to the next legislature to pass a law providing for a hunter's license, the protection of insectivorous birds and the enforcement! of the laws with respect to fish and i game." Hampton Representation Cut. Temporary Chairman M. L. Bonham, of Anderson, called the credentials! committee to order and called for the election of permanent chairman, which resulted in the choice of the! Hon. J. E. McDonald, of "Winnsboro. Mr. M. M. Mann was elected secretary. Because of the importance of the mat- j ;ers to be considered, Mr. A. M. Deal j was employed as stenographer for the! r committee. !L A question as to the strength of thej ielegation from Hampton was raised, j whether that county should have four ^ dt six delegates, jart of that county ^ having ]*t-en cut of? to form Jasper thus reducing its representation in the t 1 Legislature from three to two, and jJ therefore giving that county either! four or six delegates in the conven- i tion, Chairman McDonald ruled that ji] Hampton, and all other counties, j 8 whose representation had been chang- d *d, be seated according to the old en- J rolment This ruling was reversed, d lowever, by a vote of the committee, b md Hampton was granted only four seats. - For Reopening Entries.
