Columbia, Aug. 26.—.Senator James
F. Byrnes, staunch Stfppdrtef df the
New Deali buried two anti-adminis
tration opponents under an avalanche
of. votes in yesterday’s Democratic
primary on the basis of incomplete
returns. The ratio was about 7 to 1.
From every part of the state came
reports of huge majorities for the~
junior South Carolina senator over
Thomas P. Stoney, former mayor of
Charleston, and Col. William C. Harl-
lee, retired marine of Dillon, both bf
whom made criticism of the Roosevelt
.administration the dominant note in
their campaigns.
Byrnes led from the first reports
of voting and steadily^ increased his
lead.
With returns tabulated from 1,169
of 1,474 precincts, the vote stood:
Byrnes, 173,799; Stoney, 17,021;
Harllee, 8,526. . .
A close race developed in the
Fourth district where four sought the
seat in congress made vacant by the
recent death of Representative -John
J. MeSwain. In the three other dis
tricts where there were contests, the
incumbents had apparently safe
leads.
In 213 of the 250 precincts in the
Fourth district, G. Heyward Mahoa^
Greenville merchant, held a lead over
Joseph R. Bryson. The vote stood:
Mahon, 14,317; Bryson, 12,454. They
were followed by J. G. Leather>^ood,
with 10,712, and Claude A. Taylor,
speaker of the state house of repre
sentatives, with 9,132.
In the Third district, Representa
tive John C. Taylor piled up a crush
ing lead over J. Wade Drake, Ander
son farmer, who made advocacy of
the Frazier-Lemke bill one plank in
his platform.
Representative Allard H. Gasque of
Florence, held to a substantial lead
over two opponents in the Sixth dis
trict on incomplete returns. James R.
Turner of Bennettsville, and Dr, R. G,
Blackburn of Marion, were his oppon
ents.
A comfortable margin was rolled
up by Representative Hampton P,
Fulmer ’in the .Second district.
