The resolution, which was ge*eralfty discussed by the members, is the auni and subHtanco of tho work accomplished at tho meeting of the executive committee Friday, floveral members objected to the Introduction of the resolution on tho grounds that there was no fraud reported in their counties. The resolution was ably defended by 'Mr. Stevenson. The position of Gov. 11 lease was fully explained to tho committee by IS. FJ.

"State chairman." rWemborn of the executive commit Yco aide it very plain that the nomination for governor and other St.nro offices would not be declared unt'l tho committee, after a thorough investigation, was able to write the words "clean and fair" across that nomination. Mr. Stevenson made it clear that It was noi the intention of tho Jones members on the commit-, too to show favoritism but if illegal votes were found for Jones they b-.miM Ka thrown out. The members of the committee expressed thomreelves as being in favor of investigating the situation to save the South Carolina primary law from destruction. I2very charge or intimation of fraud in the State will bo carefully Investigated. Harry D. Calhoun, candidate for cornrrf.s In the Second district, Friday nipht wired Chairman Kvana calling "hln attention to "use of whiAkey and illegal voting," in that district and n^Vred that a thorough lnvostlga ttion bo made.

At the meeting Friday Christie TJonot., Aoeretary of the committee :eaid thp.f the governor of the St?t< Ihad criticised him and that ho def.tr * <J in a public speech that lie bad no1 jpointed to investigate the charges He unid that the governor had char* odd na public speech that he had r.o * BufCclent number of tiolcole t< IPiCkews and Loo counties.

Willis of Barnwell were appointed as members of a committee to Investigate the charges by the governor. The committee will make report at the next meeting of the committee on Wednesday* At the afternoon session of the committee B. R. Caldwell of Chester report* d that the special committee named during the morning to assist in canvassing the returns was not ready to report as all of the counties had not made reports. Chairman Kvans read several telo"" tniu hitJmnttiic fraud In connection with the election in several counties. Two of Mio telegrams charged frond in Anderson and Aiken counties. The official protest for Anderson county was lodged with the committee. Among the telegrams read was ono from Senator Tillman in which ho asked the cominitto to bo very sure before acting but if there was fraud to investigate it and save the primary law from destruction. Several members of the committee objected to the resolution as first introduced by Mr. Stevenson 011 tho ground that fraud had not been charged in all of the counties. J. Id. Park of Greenwood took the position that it was the duty of the committee to canvass all the returns, lie thought that tho committee should be in a position to say whether the election was clean or unclean, fair or unfair. Must Ido Clean. "We must bo able to say to tho world," said Mr. Park, " we have held a clean and fair election or wo have held an unfair election. If the election has been fair wo must bo able to repudiate tho charges. I think that tho resolution should apply to every county. Wo must investigate." Tho resolution was finally amended so as to apply only to counties where fraud has been alleged. J. <M. Greer of Union said that he was a Please supporter but be wanted a square deal for both candidates. lie I was satisfied there was 110 fraud in Union county. In reply Mr. Stevenson stated hlsf position clearly. Mr. Stevenson said that it was tho duty of tho committee to throw out all illegal votes, no matter who they were in favor of. lie said that the primary must be saved and cleansed at any cost* TO. 53. Please of Newberry took the floor before the committee and cutlined the position of the governor with reference to tho Invcstigation. lie fluid Hint, Ilia brother, the govern' r, wns a member of tho committee from Newberry but did not think It t proper to appear in person, lie said that be bed come, as representing his brother and that ho desired to make several Rtatements. Ho outlined bis position as a Democrat and said a.ll ; that "Colo L. Blouse wanted was ai' fair and honest countHe declared that }f his brother had not been fairly elected he did not want tho office. "I have never heard an oxocut.lvo committee attempting to do BomefhIng on huso rumors or roportH," said Mr. Bloaae. Later it wan called to the attention of Mr. Blease that official pro! tests had already been filed with the committee. Mr. BJea.Be. in the course | of his speech, charged that the apn ? - - a? _ m i.

In tho investigation oven though a majority were opposed to hlin politically. "Alt tbnt we want la a fair, honest count," he hi Id. Mr. Hlep.80 voted for tho rosolullou finally passod. Will bo Fair. In reply to "Mr. .FMease Mr. fltoven?on said that It wan tho purpose to nlvo hoth candidates a fair and lionet deal nnd that nothing of a partisan nature would entei Into tho deliberation.
