OLUME XXXII. I AURENS, SOUTH CAROLINA, WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 1, 1916.
Democrats , ummoned to Polls
To the )emocrats of South Carolina
My. attention has been called to the fact that tickets for
the general election are being distributed to voters in the
counties with the name of Cole L. Blease printed thereon in
place of B. I. Manning, the regular nominee for governor of
the Democratic party of this State In a speech before a con
vention of his friends in Columbia on October 24, the defeated
candidate inl the priinary stated that neitlher he nor his friends
were bound by the result of the late primary election in which
he was a canididate. This man filed i pledge to support the
no11inees, State and national, of the Democratic party and
when lie voted took an oath to abide the result of the primary
election and to'support the nominees thereof. When the State
colniittee met to tabulate the returns and <leelare the result.
not a protest or contest written or verbal was nade on behalf
of any candidate.
'h11 istlimnsy )'e'telnse of frau<d wit hout otYerlg eviilence
