Moore will be a candidate to succeed himself in the primary next summer. “You can say that unless something unforeseen arises I will he a candidate for reelection to the office of Adjutant General,” was the statement made by Gen. Moore when asked by The News and Courier representative as to whether the rumors that he would not run again were correct. Gen. Moore is completing his second term as Adjutant General, having been first elected to the office in 1910, and was re-elected in 1912 without oppo sition. In 1910 he defeated some strong candidates, lacking only a few votes of getting a majority in the first primary. Interest in political circles in this regard has been centered for some time on what Gen. Moore would do. P^speci- ally the controversy between Governor Blease and Adjt. Gen. Moore regarding the militia added to the speculation of those who were figuring on the mat ter It w ill be recalled that Gen. Moore recommended to the Governor the mustering out of certain companies of of the National Guard of the Slate last spring, following the inspections and and report of the United States officer, Lieut Boswell The Governor declined to muster out the companies The Fed- dral war department, hacking up Gen Moore, withdrew Federal aid from the South Carolina militia and that contro versy between Secretary of War Gar nson and liovemor Blease isatill re membered by readers of The News tnd Courier A rotnpromiw whereby the Federal tiovernment renewed its std on condi tion that the m htia ram panics found deficient were tu attend the encamp ment* and undergo another inspection was s compromise rsnrbed between the Governor and th* Federal war depart meat, and in pursuance of the agree meat Adj «**a M.wre and taeut L'ni Shank*, of th* Catted State* army.
