STATE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE (1
REFUSED TO OPEN LISTS
TO ENTRIES.
(\
The State Democratic executive j
committee in special session in Co. j
lumbia Tuesday did not open lists for j e
entries in the race for U S Senate;;! e
but 'devoted practically the entire j 0
session to villifying former Governor 0
Blease. The attack upon Mr Blease c
was launched in an address by the a
State 'Chairman John Gary Evans \ j
who read a prepared statement de- j ^
nouncine the fomer governor stat- j
w 1 I *
ing that charges of fraud in regard | n
to previous elections had been called ^
to the attention of the former state, t
committee by the Reform Party and e
had been openly made by Mr Blease ^
with regard to the seating of Gov j ^
Manning in 1916. In a partisan man J ^
ner Mr Evans also referred to the j ^
Blease-McLaurin-Aull statements re j f
cently published and stated that both! a
Blease and McLaurin should be kick j 0
ed out of tl?e Democratic Party. j y

VOTERS MUST REGISTER. (d
!r
f
This is the year for all voters who | n
expect to participate in the Novem j i:
ber general election to re-register.! t
The county board of registration for | c
Lexington, Ben F. Derrick chairman
J. Weir Addy, and W. B. Rhoden?j h
will keep their office open in the! e
county court house every day, ex j v
cept Sunday, during the months of!
July and August for the convenience j
of the voters and in compliance with
the law. So far comparatively few 11
new certificates have been issued by | c
the board. The intense interest, how! j
ever that has already been aroused in
the race for the United States senate j (
and for Congress, will doubtless' c
cause heavy registration from this i r
time on. | j
Mrs. Ida Sammis, of Huntington i j
L. I. a prominent suffragist is mentioned
as a possible candidate for t
the New York general assembly this ,
fall.
