JONES MAKES CONTEST
IN RECENT PRIMARY
PROTEST FILED WITH STATE EXECUTIVE
COMMITTEE.
The Charges Consist Mostly of irregu-1
larities and Excessive Totes in
Several Counties.
#
Attorneys representing Ira B. Jones,
candidate for governor, filed an official
protest with the State executive
committee of the Democratic party,
charging illegal voting in the primary
Tnesdav. The Drote-st was
eerved on John Gary Evans, the chairman,
and Cole. L. Blease and John T.
Duncan, the opposing candidates for
the nomination. The protest was filed
by R. W. Shand, Frank G. Tompkins
and W. H. Town6end, attorneys for
Judge Jones. The irotest will be
brought officially befit^the State executive
committee at its meeting here
tomorrow at noon.
In the protest it is alleged that the
official returns from Aiken, Anderson,
'Greenville, Cherokee, Spartanburg,
Saluda, Pickens, York and Chester do
not represent the expression of /he
will of the Democratic voters who
^ panic!jfcted in the election.
The following is the protest:
State of South Carolina,
, To the State executive committee of
the Democratic party of South Carolina,
and to Messrs. Cole. L. Blease
and John T. Duncan.

Jones, a candidate at the primary
election, held on the 27th day of August,
1912, for the nomination for the
office of governor, respectfully shows:
i. That he is a resident of the State
of South Carolina and a qualified voter
of the said State, qualified to vote
and hold office in the said State under
the laws and constitution thereof,
- ?nd the constitution and rules of the
Democratic party or me saia suite.
2. That he, the said Ira B. Jones,
was a candidate for the office of governor
of the said State and complied
with all rules and regulations of the
Democratic party, as such candidate
in the election which was held on the
27th day of August, 1912, and that the
/ said Cole. L. Blease and John T. Duncan
were also candidate^ for the nomination
in said election.
3. That the said Ira B. Jones is in
formed and believes that in the said
election held on the 27th day of August,
1912, many frauds w*re committed
and illegal practices indulged*
in, and the law violated so as to prevent
a free and fair expression of the
will of the voters in said election; and
that the said returns tabulated by the
managers of the said elections and
certified by the county executive
k committees in the counties of Aiken,
Anderson, Greenville, Cherokee, Spartanburg,
Union, Dorchester, Oconee,
Laurens, Saluda, Pickens, York and
Chester do not represent the expression
of-the will of the Democratic voters
who participated in the said election,
and said Ira B. Jones contests the
votes in each of said counties for Cole,
votes cast and returned in each of
said counties for Cole. L. Blease and
John T. Duncan as candidates for the
office of governor on the grounds:
a. That many persons were allowed
to vote in said election in the said
counties, who were not of the age of
21 years, and would not be of that
age at the time of sthe next general
election.
b. That many of the ballots counted
and returned in said counties as having
been cast for the office of governor
were not deposited by jthe voters
in the ballot l^oxes provided for
votes for said offices, but were de
posited in the boxes provided for candidates
for county offices, and counted
in declaring the result for the nomination
of governor in violation of law
thereby affording the voter the opportunity
of voting in both boxes fo\ the
same Oifice. *
c. Thar many persons in said countipo
hart their namw: nnon more than 1
one club roil and voted at more than
one Democratic club 011 the same day
for the same office in the same election.
d. That many persons in said counties
were attowed to vote and did vote
in the said election, whose names
were not placed upon the club rolls
I
for five days prior to the date of election;
the names of some of such parties
being placed upon the club rolls
on the same day as the election.
e. That many persons in said counties
were allowed to vote more than
once in said election in some cases,
in the names of different parties.
f. That the club rolls used by many
of the boxes in said counties in hold- j
ing the said election were not certi- j
fled m thp managers by the president j
and secretary of the respective club,
and in many instances included names
which bad been placed upon such
rolls within five days prior to the date
of the election.
g. That many persons were allowed
to vote in said election in said counties
who were non-residents of this
State, and many other persons were
allowed to vote in saia election who
were not residents of this State for
the period of a year prior to the next
general election.
h. That many persons were allowed
to vote in said election who were not
citizens of this State.
j. That the vote at many of the
clubs in the said counties were not
counted and certified to the chairman
f)f the county executive committee
within 48 hours after the close of the
said election, and the results in some
of the boxes were not certified to by
the managers.
k. That persons were allowed to vote
in said election at some of the precincts
in said counties without being
required to make oath as to their
qualifications to vote, and to support
the nominee of th.e party.
1. That the poll was opened and
votes received for governor in some
of the clubs before the hour of 8
o'clock in the morning, and in some
cases the polls were closed before 4
o'clock in the afternoon.
m. That more votes were counted
for the office of governor than there
were voters participating in said election.
n. That enough such fraudulent and
illegal votes were cast in the election
to affect the result.
Wherefore, the said Ira B. Jones respectfully
asks that the said executive
committee will inquire into, investigate
and ascertain whether or not the
above stated facts are true, and that
the votes from the boxes in the said
counties where the said frauds and
illegal practices occurred be cast out
and not counted in the canvass of the
votes cast for the nomination of governor
at the said primary election held
in this State on the 29th day of August,
1912, and that the said executive
Democratic party take such further
action in the premises as may be just
and proper.
Respectfulyv

CRUSHED BY TRAIN
MAN LOSES ARM
C. Quattlebaum, of Chapin, Fell Under

The State, 3rd.
in an attempt to board a moving
train at the union station yesterday j
morning, >C1 yde Quattlebaum, of Char- j
in, fell under the wheels a-;d was so j
severely injured that it was no.cess.ir/ j
to amputate one of his arms, lie is j
at a local infirmary.
It seems that Mr. Quattlebaum rnd i
his wife were on their way t) Jack-!
sonville, Fla. The Southern railway
was operating an excursion from
Rock Hill to the Florida city. There
were several coaches on a tract at
the union station, which were to be
attached to the excursion train when
it arrive^ in Columbia. Mr. Quat.jcbaum
is said to have placed his wife
in one of these coaches and then stepped
out a short distance away. As
he was returning, *he excursion tra.n
from Rock Hill rolled in: j the stanoi..
Mr. Quattlebaum evidently thought
the moving train was the one
which his wife was on and quickening
his pace, caught hold of a moving
coach. He gained a hand hold but
did not succeed in getting foothold
and after dragging along with the
train, his hands slipped and he fell
under the wheels.
n f a: i -ii ? ii- - "* * * ?
.vieuicai attention was immeaiaieiy
given the injured man. His arm was
amputated, and it is hoped that the
injuries, while very serious, will not
result seriously.
