State chairmen, with reference to
the recent primary’ and the proposed
investigation concerNng fraud.
I confess,to certain sympathy wit
tbe view expressed by Senator Till
man which does not seem to the
to charge that the executive com
mittee contemplctes "counting out
anybody,” but does express grave
doubt as to the wisdom of the cours
adopted by the committee. 1
From the letter of the chairman
as well as that of Senator Tillmc.n
it is apparent that the main inter
est of each is to preserve the
white man’s primary in South Caro
Una. livery white South Carolininn
should feel the necessity of the
perpetuation of the primary system
under the condition* we are sub
jected to. Now white supremacy
in -South Carolina is dependent upon
white unity. We h»|ve had differen
ces which have strained that uni
ty to the utmost, and in this crisis.
1 can conscientiously sny that my
endeavor in exery participation in
political affairs ha* been to assuage
differences nnd unite our people
The question for u# to consider, the
Is whether the right method is be
ing adopted to preserve, what ww
are all sincerely interested in, the
primary.
With these facts clearly ir- vi**w
what today is the position of the
State executive committee? Is Its
position the right one? The commit
tee, r-s I understand, is undertaking
through sub-committees of its own
body to "probe” for fraud. Is it
investigating certain specific charges
of fraud, or is it seeking to have
th*> rr-rious counth-s show th?t they
were free of fraud? If the first,
