There was some disagreement of opinion as to when the can didate elected for th? short term will, take his seat, but the prevailing judg- j ment was that the term of Senator Christie Benet, appointed to succeed! Senator Tillman, will expire immed-; iately upon the election of Senator I ! Benet's successor. However, the! 'committee did not go on record as to; this matter as it was out of its pur- i view.

Chairman Evans, avoiding the call- ; f ing of names in prefacing his formal address to the committee,w stated that the members of that body were th? .. watchmen on the tower of Soutii I Carolina's Democracy and to them T was entrusted tlie task of keeping the' party clean and above suspicion. He told of the charges, iterated and re- j iterated by certain factional leaders ' in South Carolina that the commii- : tees, past and present, were partisan and corrupt *nd called on the mem- < bers to stamp the libel in no uncertain way. He charged that these leaders are trying to undermine the con fidence of the people in the Demo- \ cratic party of South Carolina, and ; stated in his opinion, that they should be rea.d out of the party. He quoted a United States Senator as saying that if these politicians were not' kicked out of the party the decent people of the State will leave it. T. Yancey Williams, of Lancaster, ' said that (Messrs. Blease and McLaurin should be tried by the' party ofi 'the allegations made and if proved guilty, "kicked out of the party/' "I for one, am in favor of kicking them out of the party/' he continued. T. H. Ketchin, of Fairfield, made a Yvjofirm to arvnrrint a committee of five VV JC ? to investigate the charges. calling the accused candidates before it, and requiring hem to show cause why they should not he excluded from the Democratic party and debarred from the Democratic primary. Chairman EVans ruled -that tfcc? executive com-: mittee co?!^ do this under the rules, ( but the motion was later tabied upon':' motion or Edgar A.

People Will ProtestCen. M. L. Eonham of Anderson, doubted the wisdom of Mr. Ketchins' motion. "The. people themselves are loyal," he said, "and I am satisfied that they will register a vigorous protest at the polls against those whe tried to sell out the Democratic party." He paid a glowing tribute as a member of the exemption board to the patriotism of the people of -his county .and to tlu T)oys, representing every shade of Democratic opinion, who were in the fighting ranks of their countrymen. Mr. Maxwell of Florence, was satis fied htta the people would register their vote in disapproval of Messrs. BJcase and CVIeLaurin. "I don't 'believe it is necessary to read these men out of the party," he contended. "Let the information jro out to the people of the State and they will die an ignominious death." .T. H. iMoorer cf Colleton, at thi3 point offered a resolution as a sub stitute to the Ketchin motion, that. the committee offer its unbounded confidence in and give its approval to Chairman Evans. 'Following strenuous objection by ?.!r. Evans and further bedate. this resolution likewise was tabled on the motion of Mr. Brown. Mr. Evans said that he did not want a vote of confidence, for he paid no attention to the "barkings, of a cur." He stated that these men were atr tempting to assassinate the Demoera-tic party, and asked the committee if it was goincr to sit supinely by and "allow this miserable gran? tc throw spittle in your faces." At this poi Mr. Williams, of Lan caste**, made a moton to require Cole L. Blease and John L. McLaurin to show cause why their names shoulu not be stricken from the ballots. This motion was never put, as Chairman Evans later ruled that it was out of order in that other motions were before the body toy rule of priority. Can't Make Them Appear. "There is no man in South Carolina who has a greater contempt for a traitor than I have." said R. B. Caldwell of Chester. "T have a brother on the firing line in France. But these men. if you send for them, will probably tell you to go to tb^ devil, and yon will have no recourse. You are powerless to force them to appear.*' He stated that Cole L. Blease and Tobn L. McLaurin had been running for office as long as he can remem :er and probably would continue ic do so. 'Both had been repudiated by the people and he predicted that they would he overwhelming defeated this time. Davd B. Traxler of Greenville, said that he had fought Bleaseism for years, but he thought that the executive committee was attempting some thing which would stir up a political war in South Carolina and would redound to the benefit of Mr. Blease.
