Monroe vs. Fort Mill.
I As The Times goes to press .
i this (Wednesday) afternoon the
I third of a series of ball games
, between Monroe, N. C., and
I Fort Mill is in progress on the
local grounds.
The game of Monday, princi'
pally a comedy of errors, resulted
in a victory for Fort Mill
by a score of 5 to 1. The bat;
teries were: Monroe, Stevens and
i Howard; Fort Mill, Price and
Parks.
Tuesday's game was more inI
teresting, both teams at times
| appearing to have the game
cinched. In the last inning,
, however, Fort Mill sent two men
i over the plate and again took the
; game, the score being 7 to 5.
I The batteries were: Monroe,
j Worley and Crow; Fort Mill,
; Barron and Parks.
The Gubernatorial Election of 1906.
Of the eight candidates for
governor in 1906, Messrs. Ansel
and Blease are again aspirants
; for the office, and it will be inj
teresting to study the vote of
1906. Mr. Ansel, who had been
a candidate in 1902, ran in 1906
as an opponent of the State dispensary
system. Mr. Blease defended
the State dispensary as it
stood, and Mr. Manning stood
for the State dispensary system
purified. Mr. Brunson was for
State prohibition.
Personal popularity and place
of residence cut little or no figure
in the gubernatorial election of
1906. Personally the most popular
man in the race, and as clean
as any other, Mr. Manning was
unable to stem the tide against
the State dispensary. It is therefore
interesting to note some features
of the vote of 1906.
In Richland, the canitol coun
ty, which had two candidates in
the race, Ansel received 1,020
votes to 2,287 for all other candidates;
Manning receiving 571
and Blease 938.
In Greenville, the home of
Ansel, he received 3,372 against
1,984 for all others. In Sumter,
the home of Manning, he received
1,091 to 757 for all others. In
Newberry, home of Blease, he
received 1.020 against 1,285 for
for all others. Newberry had
another candidate in the race
who received only 117 votes in
his own county. ]
In the first primary, Mr. Ansel
received 39,131 votes, and his
nearest competitor, Mr. Manning,
received 23,208, while Mr. Blease,
third man in the race, received
16,672. Mr. Brunson, the prohi- i
bition candidate, received 10,463.
The vote in the second primary
brought out more squarely the
alignment between the dispensary
and anti-dispensary forces, as
the fight was solely on that issue.
There were 84,645 votes cast for
governor, of which Mr. Ansel
received 47,556, and Mr. Manning
received 37,089, a majority
for Mr. Ansel of 10,467 votes.
This year it is different to a
great extent. Senator Rlonso
1 stands for the present system as
enunciated on the stump by him,
while Governor Ansel stands for
a State prohibition law, with
privilege to counties to vote in
the sale of liquor. But the liquor
issue is not the sole issue this
: year, and the second term idea, |
personal records and qualifications
and other matters enter into
the proposition now before the
people.
