PRIMAIY F'ATHIt
Strength of PreFldent Wilson and Ab.
sence of Factionalism Noted.
Chick Springs, August 14.--Two fea
tures of the first Congressional pri
mary election in this district on last
Tuesday are being generally comment
ed on, not only by the people of this
district, but by the entire state, and
even by other states, and these are
the strength of President Wilson and
the absence of factional lines.
Sain .1. Nicholls, of Spartanburg,
who led the si.x candidates and who
goes into the second primary with a
pluralty of 1,3oo votes over his com
petitor, 13. A. Morgan, of Greenville,
was the most outspoken advocate of
(Ihe 're'sident iln tile campaign enavass
Wi eh preceded tile first primary. lie
praised him consistently and is looked
oil inl tills district as the strong friend
of Mr. Wilson. Observers see in the
fact that Capt Niclolls led tile tick
et significant indicetions of the hold
iPresidelt Wilson has on the masses of
the people of this state, and they be
lieve t hose politicianas who have beeni
at ackina the President in Soulh0 Car
ol ina will now see ('nough in this l
tion as Ian indication or tile signs of
lie ilmes to convince them of the linl
:ossibility of torning the Palmetto
State away ron the Chilef Magistrate
of the lnatiol.
The other restilt-the absence of
factiotua lines-has cheered lie fol
lowers of coistr ict ive government In
ail parts of the state. No mention
was made at any time in the licam
pfsign of any factional divisioni along
te lilnes of the lhitter struggle of last
year, whena it is remembered tia t
Capt. Nicholls ran against Congress
Jin -olhnson last summller. and the
factional lines were Ilie chi ef dlv slon
of thIev cali paig. and that nowhere
was the issue mnore lirononcil ed than
ill Smpartanhburg. One can appre('iate
Ohe (hange and re.ioile in it. The
raipaign this year was conducted on
high ground, construictive issues were
tllsisussed pnti Ilere was no hitterness,
vil0ulorat0ioni or ablise, stiuli as h:ive
been in evidenice in state amaigns
of recent years. .\It of tihe six eanidi
diats keipt on rienly term,, an each
ran oi hIs ierits, which has been that
('ililion lonl"g Wait(.d for in this state.
The Sparianfhurg lerald chalmitiioll
of the .\nti-ilease forces in its coiulty
and tile antagonist of Capt. Nicholls
when he ran on the illease ticket for
ongress in 191 i and was defeated,
has come out for .ir. Nicholls and is
urging his election to Congress, and
the result, they say, wIl he Ito eliminate
for all time the old factional lies.
They are u rgting Ilie people of Spar
taniiuorg ) sta nd by their lome moan
and it a ppears that IlheY will. Several
:trong -Anti-ltth'ase m)n inl Spartan
Irg hatve told( The News and Couier
t'presontative that they art going to
vote for Capt Nicholls and they seein

TO THE VOTERS
OF
LAURENS COUNTY!
I am very much gratified at the result of the first
election. The handsome vote.I received was due to the
untiring efforts of my friends and I wish to take this op
portunity to thank them from the bottom of my heart, and
ask them to keep up the splendid work.
The fact that I led in the city and county of Spartan
burg is a good recommendation to me. That I led in
Lauirens county is a fact foi which I feel very grateful.
I am proud to say that the campaign has been clean
and square and devoid of mud-slinging and factionalism
and I. promise, if elected, to go. to Washington to fight for
the people of the entire district.
Yours to Win,
Sam J. Nicholls.
