172,712 ballots accounted for, anc
probably 1,000 not heard from, the

AntHBlease Majority Grows.
The boxes heard from yesterday
added only 1,372 to Mr. Blease's vote
over the totals previously reported
but gave Mr. McLeod an increase o:
2,243 over his total as published yes
terday and Mr. Laney an increase o:
2,027. The majority against Blease
went up from 15,560, as printed yes
terday, to 19.002.
There has been a good deal of sur
prise that the vote was not large)
on Tuesday, the weather having
been fine. With a total enrollmen
of 226,581 it was thought by man:
that the vote might go considerably
beyond 175,000, which was generally
fixed as a minimum, but the politica
apathy which has been general thi:
year seems to 'have prevailed to th<
extent of keeping more than 50,00(
enrolled voters from the polls on oni
account or another.
Working for a Full Vote.
McLeod supporters will work ac
tivelv in the second primary to brinj
out as full a vote as possible for the
runover on September 12. Genera
confidence of his success as the out
standing anti-Blease candidate is ex
pressed, but the Blease forces ar<
claiming that their candidate wil
win, and for McLeod to overcome the
Blease lead and be elected, as Man
ning did in 1916, it will be necessary
to bring out at least as large a vote
as was cast in the first primary.
Lieutenant Governor's Race.
It will be noted that the total vote
cast in the race for lieutenant gover
nor is 20,000 votes below the total ir
the governor's race. No explanatior
of this discrepancy is offered. It noi
infrequently happens that a discrap^
ancy of this kind occurs in electior
returns but in this instance the dis
crepancy is rather large. Voters o!
course can scratch all the candidates
in any contest, or none, in either ol
which cases the ballot would noi
count as to that contest. It is noi
known, however, in what way the
j light vote in the lieutenant goverI
nor's race, as compared with the gov1
ernor's race, is accounted for. The
j figures in this contest are also be

At Chesterfield Saturday Senator
Laney gave out the following signed
_ i statement:

g principles advocated by me were in
a line with, those expressed by Mr. Mc)

to express my deep appreciation
to those who supported me in

Extends Time for Tax Payment.
Columbia, Aug. 31.?Walter E.
Duncan, Comptroller Genral, announced
tonight that after obtaining
the concurrence of Governor Harvey
he had determined to extend the
time for the payment of taxes until
September 15. Mr. Duncan stated
that the reason the extension was
not made until October 1 is that
there are many obligations of the
state to be met by Treasurer Carter
during the latter part of September
and money from taxes will be needed
then. 5*5*. /* ' \... . >.
The Comptroller general has received
many requests during the past
few days for an extension because
the farmers are now in the midst of
their harvesting and marketing season
and have no ready cash. The law
allows the comptroller general to ex
tend the time for the payment of
taxes by and with the consent of the
governor.
