national committeeman over Lowndes j
? J. Browning, of Union, the Blease j
caucus nominee, this afternoon by
the Democratic State convention by
the overwhelming majority of 267 to
43. The senior senator was placed
in nomination by Senator Nicholson,
of Edgefield, and there were several
seconds. Mr. Browning was' nomi^
- nated by Mr. Long, of Union, and on
the roll call by counties the senator
swamped his opponent. The forty

made up of one from Aiken, thirteen
from Anderson, one from Barnwell,
five from Clarendon, four from Dillon,
one from Dorchester, one from
Fairfield, one from Georgetown, one
" from Lancaster, five from Laurens,
v*-/ eight from Newberry, six from Lee,
|j. one from Oconee, two from Richland.
The delegations from Newberry,
^ Union and Lee were the only ones
t " Toting solidly for Mr. Browning. One
from the Anderson delegation and
\ a one from the York delegation voted
f v; for Senator Tillman, the rest of these
delegations going to the Union man.
When the solid Charleston vote of
eighteen was announced for Senator
Tillman the convention broke into
applause.

j?| State chairman over W. A. Stuckey,

The Blease caucus nominations

Tarying majority throughout.
On motion of Christie Benet, for
the Richland delegation, Gen. Wilie
Jones was reelected treasurer of the
Democratic party by acclamation.
The first test vote between the <
y Blease and anti-Blease factions this

tials committee to seat the Christensen
delegation from Beaufort. (

# When the convention reconvened

r* ^ ot State Chairman Evans the conven- i
Hon voted to allow fifteen minutes for
a committee of suffragettes to present
jpiv ' a petition to the convention. A
committee, consisting of John Gary
T" Evans, D. S. Henderson and D. R.
fe Coker, were appointed to escort the
pfe '< Jadies to the desk, the suffragette
> committee being Mrs. Harriet Powe
X Lynch, Mrs. H. V. Murdaugh, Miss
J Mary A. Brennen and Mrs. Henry
- Martin. They were received with
cheers. Mrs. Lynch said their resolution
asked the convention for two
things*. First, an amendment to the
State constitution extending the right
of suffrage to women, and, second,
Instructing the delegates to St. Louis
to work for incorporation into the
platform of the national Democratic
yt party a declaration favoring woman
suffrage without regard to a federal
amendment to this end. She called
attention to the close vote in the
house last year on this subject, and
said their petition covered sixteen
yards of paper. She did not read it,
hut asked that it be placed before
the proper committee, which was
done. She thanked the convention
for extending the ladies this privilege
and was cheered:
This is the second time woman
suffrage has been presented to a
Democratic convention, the late Mrs.

ary organization was made permanent
on motion of Mr. McSwain. On
assuming the chair as permanent
president, Mr. Thos. P. Cothran expressed
his appreciation of the honor
and praised the personnel of the convention.
He reviewed the patriotic
record of the Democratic party in
years past, and turning to the out
look in the nation, said of the record
of the national Democratic party:
"We have kept the faith." He called
attention to the bloody European war
and its terrible slaughter and was
tumultously cheered when he said:
"You may thank him who sits in the
white house today for being free from
the contamination of that kind." Mr.
Cothran eulogized President Wilson
and the record of the party and termed
him "the greatest president of the
United States in fifty years."
On motion of Mr. Dominick the
rules of the house were adopted as
the rules for the convention in so
far as they were applicable.
Elections for vice presidents by
congressional districts resulted as
follows: First, E. J. Dennis, of
Berkeley; second, D. S. Henderson,
of Aiken; fourth, J. H. Miller, of
Cross Hill; fifth, J. L. Glenn, of
Chester; sixth, D. R. Coker, of Hartsville;
seventh, Adam H. Moss, of
Orangeburg.
The 3rd district was passed over
to allow the delegates .to caucus ana
make a nomination.
During the afternoon session Dr.
Olin Sawyer was the only one of the
Georgetown delegation on the floor,
the rest having gone home on the afternoon
train. Dr. Sawyer was nam7
ed on the committee on rules.
At 6 o'clock the convention recessed
until 8:30 to allow the committees
on platform and resolutions
and on rules to frame their reports.
Night Session.
The convention reconvened at 9
o'clock. Mr. Cary, of Oconee, announced
that Dr. W. A. Tripp, of Anderson,
had been nominated as vice
president from the 3rd congressional
district, and he was elected.
A correction in the vote for nai
tional executive committeeman was
noted by Mr. vDominick, and was sol
corrected. The vote was: Tillman
268, Browning 64. An effort by Mr.
Fred Dominick to have the delegates
at large elected while the convention
was awaiting on the report of the
committees was defeated after a
sharp passage between Mr. Dominick
and Mr. Blakeney, of Kershaw. A
motion by Mr. Mixson to erect the
fourteen district delegates to the
national Democratic convention was
adopted.
The district delegates follow:
First district?P. H. Gadsden, of
Charleston; V. C. Badham, of Badham.

Charleston; A. C. Bradham, of Manning.

Changes in Party Rules.
The committee on amendments to
the rules of the party made many
suggestions as to changes, all of
which were adopted. Most of the
changes were to make the rules comply
to the State law on primaries,
and particularly as to enrolment.
Provision was suggested and made
that a committee on credentials be
provided this committee to hear
and act upon any contest prior to
the meeting of the convention. Each
county is to elect a member of this
credential committee.
Provision was made that upon petition
of 15 per cent, of the qualified
voters in any town or city peti1

primary. The petition is to be filed
with the mayor or intendant, and
then there shall be organized a municipal
Democratic club. This club
shall hold primary elections to nomi
nate candidates for municipal officers.
The club is to make the rules
and regulations and what municipal
officers shall be voted upon.
Recall elections in any such city
shall be first determined by a primary
under such rules as the club
shall provide.
The rule is not to apply to any
city with a population of 10,000 or
over. This change in the ruling
came through Mr. Christensen. The
rules of 1914 were reaffirmed except
as amended.
Road commissioners were put in
the primary where such candidates
offered. Amendment was made to
the rules to provide for enrolment
of men temporarily non-resident and
were employed by the State or government
only, and who Came back to
the State to vote.
The Anderson delegation wanted
a rule adopted allowing withdrawal
by card from one club to ahother
within sixty days before the primary.
This was lost.
The committee report submitted
by Mr. John J. McSwain, of Greenville,
was adopted without any objection
with the understanding that the
amendments suggested should all be
adopted as reported, with the exception
of the matter of letting the
warehouse system figure in the primary.
,
The First Fight.
The first fight came over the majority
and minority report of the
credentials committee on the resolution
putting the warehouse commissioner
in the primary. The majority
returned an unfavorable report and
a minority ravoraoie report was
made by John K. Aull, W. R. Koon,
J. R. Dingle and J. B. Lane. W. S.
Hale, of Cherokee, moved the adoption
of the majority report. W. W.
Dixon, of Fairfield, wanted the warehouse
commissioner put in the primary.
Fred H. Dominick, of Newberry,
floor leader of the Blease
forces, joined Mr. Dixon, and in a
speech reviewing the warehouse legislation,
supported the minority report.
Mr. Graydon, of Abbeville, said:
"If you want to kill the warehouse
put it in the primary and you will
kill it so effectively that even Mr.
McLaurin, with all his plausibility,
won't be able to resurrect it." He
vigorously assailed the resolution
ahd belittled the warehouse system.
Senator Banks, of Calhoun, said
the warehouse was worthy of every
one's support and reviewed it and
the insurance on cotton.
"If Mr. McLaurin wants to tackle
Andrew Jackson Bethea let him do
so," said D. S. Henderson. "We have
not forgotten that the maw who
wanted to put this system in politics
in 1902 wanted to introduce commercial
Democracy in South Carolina,
and let us not forget the warning
voice of this chief."
The "previous question" was dr4
dered and the roll was called by
counties, after nearly two hours of
speech-making. The majority report
was adopted, 255 to 74, and the
resolution to put the warehouse commissioner
in the primary overwhelmingly
killed.
