-AFTE1W[ATH O1" THE
STATE CONVENTION
Was 5 to 1 Anti.Blease; and was Oy.
erwhelimingly Manning In Sentiment
Columbia, May 18.-Inspired by the
record of the Democracy in the nation
and State, the South Carolina State
-Democratic Convention, which came
to a close in the early hours of this
morning, culogized President Wood
row \Vilson, endorsed him for relec
tion, and instructed the, delegation td
the National Conventiotjto vote as a
unit for his renomination. The law
enforcement policy of the State ad
ministration was commended and a
strong declaration that the South Car
olina Democracy stands for a strict
and impartal enforcement of the law
was 'adopted. The progressive labor,
humanitarian, and educational acts of
the general assembles of recent years
received warm approval.
Women suffrage was endorsed and
the legislature was asked 'to submit
the qluestion of granting votes to wo
men to the people of the State.
lWarehouse System.
One of the outstanding features of
the convention was the discussion of
the warehouse system, which would
come up in one form or another every
few minutes. The convention reject
ed by an overwhelming majority of
255 to 71 the resolution presented by
the lilease caucus to have the ware
house commissioner go into the pri
mary. This resulted not only because
it was a part of the "slate" presented
by the caucus of the llease delegates,
but also because the convention fig
ured that 1hitting the warehouse
commissioner into the primary NVomuld
be putting the warehouse into poli
tics which would kill the system.
The convention, however, was over
whelmingly in favor of the warehouse
system and adopted the following re
solution which was introduced by
Senator Laney, of Chesterfield:
"The State Warehouse System is
hereby endorsed by this convention
and that this convention recommends
its continuance and support."
A ni i-llease; Pro-Manning.
The convention was 5 to 1 anti
ll!ease and overwhelmingly Manning
in sentiment there however, being
no lines drawn between the Manning
and Cooper followers, all of them
voting together on the other issues.
Governor Manning was chairman of
the Sumrater County delegation and So
licitor Cooper was the chairman of
the Laurens delegation. The Sumter
delegation voted solidly throughout
and the Laurens delegation, for the
most part, divided, 4 and 4.
Charleston with 18, Spartanburg
with 16, Greenville with 14, and
Orangeburg with 12, always swung
into the anti-Ilease column every
time piling up the majorities.
lion. U. Goodwyn Rhett, president
of the United States Chamber of
(omnmere, was the chairman of the
Charleston delegation. By him sat
.\ayor 'T. 'T. lyde, of Oharleston,
wh'lo was elected one of the eight dele
gates at large to St. Lo~uis.
It was getting on towards morning
when the report of the platform and
resolutions committee was adopted,
the lighting over the warehouse hay
ing ended, when the election of dele
gates at large to the National Demo
cratic convention were called for. ..
II. Clifton in the interest of "Further
unanimity and harmony" as he ex
pressed it moved that eight delegates
lbe elected with half a vote each.
After some discussion this prevailed.
Governor Rlichard I. Manning was
nominated by D. RI. Coker, of Harts
vylle, and the convention broke into
cheers which resulted in an ovation
for the governor. Senator D. R. Till
nmn was nominated by D. 11. Traxler,
or Greenville, and theri in rapid sue
cesion came the nominations of
Seintor E. D. Smith, State Chairman
Jlohn Gary Evans, Mayor L. D. Jen
nings, of Sumter, Mayor 'T. 'T. Hyde,
of Charleston, WV. P. Pollock, of Cheo
raw, and Professor John U. Clink
scales, of Spartanb~urg.
Mr. Fred Hf. D~ominick, of New
berry, chairman of that delegation
and floor leader of the Hiease nminori
ty, placed in nomination the lBleaso
"slate", the governor of South Caro
lina, C. C. Sims, of Barnwell, John
(1. Richards, of Kershaw, and T. C.
D~uncan of Union.
'The r'oll call was by counties and
occupied more than half an hmour'.
Governor Manning received practical
ly the unanimous vote of the conven
tion, getting 310. The vote 'r the
others resulted: 'Tuilman i. flyde
276, Smith, 277, Pollock, 25k, Jen
nings 254, Evans, 273, Clinkscales 284.
'Tho three Bhlease candidates got tihe
following totals: Sims 61, Richards
62, Duncan 65.

ed on all sides for' the masterly ana
impartial way in which ho handled
the conventiott and 'lhe was thanked
Iby a rising vote of the delegates.
