Rawls whose seemingly tirelessness
bolstered him to top position in the
three distance runs—half mile, mile
and two-mile runs. Runner-up for
top scoring was Dick Little of the
University of South Carolina who
garnered first place in the century,
and 220 yard dashes and took second
in the broad jump and low hurdles to
amass a total of 16 points. Fennell
of Clemson claimed a share of the
glory by setting a new record in the
pole vault.
(Continued from pag« one)
a third term. Jefferson,, he said,
said practically the same thing,
“more or less.” “The issue,” he said,
“was whether or not this country
would be dragged into the war and
Roosevelt is the pian to keep us out
of it.” The Democrats, he'said, had
produced the biggest men in the
country and “Roosevelt is the big
gest of the big.”
Taken on a rising vote, hardly
more than half a dozen delegates kept
their seats.
Prior to t^ Cromer-Long resolu
tion incident it appeared that the
tempo of the convention would be set
by the milder resolution of Mr. Pow
er and another one presented by W.
L. Taylor endorsing Sen. James F.
Byrnes for the vice presidential
nomination. Mr. Taylor handed this
resolution to Mr. Long and Sen.
Cromer moved its adoption. It was!
seconded by H. S. Blackwell. Like!
the Power resolution, it was adopted j
with practically no opposition. j
Called Te Order !
The convention was called to or-1
der by R. T. Wilson, retiring chair-!
man. The Rev. J. H. Kyzar deliv-j
ered the invocation. O. L. Long was]
named temporary chairman and Alii-,
son Lee temporary secretary. Uponj
the completion of the roll call andj
report of the credentials committee;
the temporary organization was made
permanent. R. T. Wilson was re
elected chairman of the executive
committee, Mrs. B. F. Yeargin vice
chairman and Dr. F. Dudley Jones
executive committeeman.
Monbers of the credentials com
mittee appointed by the presiding
officer were C. A. Power of Laur
ens, James P. Sloan of Clinton and
J. M. Ross of Goldville.
In his keynote address, President
Long said that we must steer clear
of entanglement In a foreign war,
although be declared, “I don’t see
how we can do it.” Ninety per cent
of our people want to stay out of the
war, he said, adding that the major
thought of the county, state and na
tional conventions should be t^at of
choosing a president who will keep
us out. Mr. Long declared that the
Republicans don’t have a man for the
job, describing one of their contend
ers, “Buster Dewey,!’ as a fairly good
“county solicitor,” and adding, “The
Democrats have lots of material.”
On motion of Phil D. Huff, the con
vention recorded its sorrow over the
death of R. W. Wade of Clinton, exe
cutive committeeman for the past
two years, who died recently.
