Lexington, Aug. 4, 191$.
Messrs. John H. Cooper and C. S. Mon.

St. Matthews, S. C., and H. P. Fulmer,
Norway, S. C._
Gentlemen:
So far as I know, you are the only
gentlemen, other thar myself, who
have signified an intention to enter
the special democratic primary as
candidates for the nomination for
congress in the Seventh district. I
have been informed that the State
commttee is of the opinion that only
those enrolled for the last regular
election will be allowed to vote in the
approaching primary or primarires.
This conclusion, as I am informed, is
hased upon the fact that the act of
the General Assembly regulating primary
elections does not provide for
epecial or additional enrollments for
special elections. I am not prepared
unqualifiedly, to subscribe to that opinion,
for the reason: It might be forcefully
contended that, in the absence
of legislative enactment, the Snate
committee ha9 the right to deal with
questions such as this.
The practical results of the position
taken by the committee are:
First, to deprive hundreds of brave
young South Carolinians, who were in
te uniform of their country last year
at the time of the regular enrollment,
from expressing a choice of a demon
era tie nominee; second, to deprive
numbers of young men, who have
dona# jpf age , within the year, from
voting in the primary; and, third, to
deprive others, who enrolled last year
tor the regular primary, fem patici?atin?
in it this yeafrt because they
have since that time changed theipj
place of residence.
It appears to be a strained con?
atruction that would deny these good
democrats, and equally good citizens,
the rights to express a choice of a democrat!
e nominee for congress from
this district. It is not my purpose, in

writing this letters to set myself at
odds with the State committee^ but
it is my purpose to procures if I can*
the right of these people to express a
ohoice, in the primary, of the candidate
they wilt he expected to support
in the grenerai election. It ?3 rfgrht
they should have this opportunity;
and, besides, there are other obviously
food reasons why they should be pee- j
mitted to veto at this time. It is not
i only desirable, but manifestly vocesI

be done to unite and solidify the ra&k
and file of the democratic party?the
white man's party in South Carolina-?
in these elections* The democratic
nominee for congress in this district,
and the good democrats of it, will expect,
and rightfully, the voters and
citizens to whom I have referred to
back up and support the nominee in
the general election. Therefore, some
means should be adopted to allow
them to participate in the selection of
the nominee.
To accomplish this result, I propose
that we petition the State Committee
to adopt a plan and provide
ways and means whereby these people
will be allowed to vote in the primary;
and that we pledge ourselves,
in writing, to abide the result of the
primary so conducted. It seems to me. |
if we agree to this arrangement there |
will be no one else rightfully to com- i
plain.

which we have to act, and fearing you
may not be at home upon the arrival
of this letter. I am furnishing copies

should act a-nd act quickly.
With kind personal regards, I am.

George Bell Timruerman.
