Columbia, May 3.-John 1L. McLau in announced this afternoon that he was a candidate for lieutenant gov ernor, and would lead the fight for the warehouse system in the campaign this summer. lie made this announce ment following the meeting of the warehousemen of the State system which decided to onduct a campaign of education and to place legislative tickets backed by the warehousemen in the field in each county. They called on Warehouse Commissioner McLaurin to lead the fight and in or der to get into the campaign he an nounced for lieutenant governor. Senator McLaurin makes it. clear that he is running for lieutenant gov ernor simply to get into the campaign and not for the ollice. "A campaign of education is absolutely necessary." lie says, "1 cannot go before the pee ple, under the rules, unless a candi date for ollice. To be a candidate for a lucrative oflice would weaken me, and do incalculable harm to the cause. I will, therefore, announce for lieu tenant governor, an otilice no grown mhan wants and a live man won't have. The test will not be my election, but the legislature." Senator .\cLaurin declares he will not take a hand in the race for gov ernor, saying, "I have no candidate for governor, and do not intend to de fend or attack any man in the race, unless in the defense of the system, I have no friends to serve nor enemies to punish." The warehousemen adopted a reso lution memoralizing the State Demo cratic Convention to allow Senator .\lIsautrii an hour at each of the caim pa igan meetings this suminer, lie reso lution reading: "iesolved, That the Slate I hlInocrtatic (onientiotn be re (luested to provide that State Ware house ColniInIissioner .loihn l . .\hi".au rin im erinit ted I( attend the State amiphai:n imitings as a regular speak Seak r his sunint< r, to pres(nii Ilhe :real co"(nointie <Iinestioni involved in the tate warelo(I system, and lhat h(. ie givi enolne ioir's t:nie as each i l in his addre. s b e'oe Ilie wa r' houistiiei Senator .\leIaurin scored tle oppsition lo the system anid de elated"( that lihe "spec"ial interes-ts" were a leni pting to throttle i1. ile charged that a "conlspi racy in ('u lumbhia, which oInIlented the withdriaw al of Ie insuranlc'e companies should be fully exposed, and can he, from the irecords in his hands. lie said the fedcra l go'ernm1ent should force the insurance icomanies to do business lin South Carolina, or get out of the 'nited States. In telling the conference of their po litical power, he said: "We are in a lajority whiy not take the reins of govierntent fromn the hands of spoils 1114n andi see to it that there is t'itiali ity" oh opportuity113 for all white' mien, ini ) far' as riht, lriileges an5'itd op jirlii niOu ilis ' l'ctlt' saetI f ''''i'' ai stitiil'd aIttim p ito pre''tventt infoinai tiiin Irtini reach inthe I pe uopl'. l'very I fort hasi betn 111:4de to Iniison thle iiia.

Politicians of all factions were v'ery anxiouls today to kno1w what the warehousemen were doing, and it was not until late this afternoon that any announcemenit was given ouit from the confer'ence. Theii announcement of the meetIig contained ntoting on the in Sur lance situiation, but11 it is knownx hat some resoluition was passed. The conference was held beltindl closed doors, w ithi ntewvspaper men exciludedl, and after' the mieeting a statemet of some( three thousand word(s was given ouit thIirough the secr'etar'y of the Wa rehouse Assor'hation.
