Columbia, Oct. 20 There were comparatively few definite political announcements during fair week, but c those which were made give a some- r - - - .V- ? r what definite line upon me suuhhuu ? as developed so far. Solicitor R. A. Cooper positively an- 1 nounced that he would be a candidate * for governor two years hence. Up until this time, the anti-Reform party " seems to have centered upon him, and 8 the strength which he will develop ^ will depend upon his ability to hold 0 this following without division in the e ranks. It was said by & prominent 7 ? - - * - ii i Manning supporter toaay mat n*r. < Cooper, during the past campaign, was f to the Manning taction what Belgium 0 was to the allies?that the personal * support which he secured from the / Blease faction in the first race pre- I vented Blease's election on the first I ballot, and gave the Manning people time to lay their plans and get into line the entire Manning support. This I summary of the situation seems to be' I correct as for as it goes?that the en trance of Cooper prevented the elec- i tion of Blease on the first ballot, but I does not take into account the va- I rious charges which have been made in regard to the arbitrary carrying; I through of the second primary, in the' ? Interest of .Mr. Manning by a partisan j I machinery_which had in mind the de- . I feat of Blease at all hazards. t Peeples a Candidate. The only positive announcement for I governor by a supporter of tbe Re- ^ form movement during the past cam- I paign has come from. 'Attorney Gen- j 1 eral Peeples, who said positively thatj ^ he would be an entry in the guberna- i 8 torial race against all comers. Gen-!" eral Peeples has been recognized as11 an able attorney general, who has 11 conducted the office fairly and impar-; ^ tially. His announcement came be- j | fore the convention of the Reform 11 party, which appointed a central com-1 ^ mittee to secure a definite organiza-!) tion throughout the state, looking to the election two years hence. It it known that others on this side ar* ( contemplating making the race for governor in 1918, and that the general _ idea seems to be to concentrate upon a ticket, as the anti-Reform faction 1 has done during the past several years. ? This policy may, and probably will, c change the whole complexion of the ^ political situation "before it is fully c developed." In 1&14 - tfce*-Reform^ fac- * tion went down in defeat because of lack of centralization, opposed by cen- ? tralization on the part of the oppos- x ing faction, and it is the political ( error which it is desired to correct. It will be recalled that the anti faction, 1 in 1914, went so far as to holfi an 3 "elimination" convention at the Jef- < f>rson hotel, and, as a matter of fact, I j dM eliminate a good many candidates ^ for governor in view of the fear excreased by them, with the number of ' gubernatorial candidates which thev ( had in the field, the second race would i be run between two avowed Blease candidates for governor. The "elimi- ] ration" conference worked, and Mr. Manning was elected governor. ' 5o Xore Primary? There are a great many Demo- i crats who >ay they will never go into another primary under the present machinery, basing their position upon the assertion that it is impossible for [ those in the faction opposed by the machinery to secure a fair showing. Events strongly point now to a new I olitical dispenssaion two years hence, j unless matters complained of are corj. ected.
