LYON. y < 270 Meet Editor Smith Senate Race Holds Floor In Second Race PROHIBITION NOT LIKELY TO PLAY PART IN BLEASE- SMITH FIGHT COLUMBIA, Sept. 3.—Having set tled congressional fights and elim inated hundreds of candidates for scores of county offices, South Carolina democrats yesterday cen tered their attention on the sec ond race September 13th between Senator E. D. Smith and Cole L. Blease for the senatorial nomina tion. Smith and Blease led the field of four in Tuesday’s primary but as neither received a majority of the votes cast, they will enter a second primary. How prohibition will figure in the next 12 days is a matter of speculation with the elimination of Ashton H. Williams of Florence the •repeal candidate and Leon W. Har ris of Anderson, the prohibition ad vocate, in the first primary. Senator Smith, having adopted his party’s national prohibition plank, although, personally dry, is pledged to repeal the 18th amend ment and immediate modification of the Volstead act. > Blease has advocated a refer- qpdum of the “white voters” of the state to decide the question^ It was Williams,. however, who injected prohibition into the cam paign more than any candidate until Harris announced his decided dry stand shortly before the speech-making closed. - iXt- Card Of Thanks From Senator Dorn Scene From Farm Holiday Strike Center / To the Voters of McCormick County: Now that the first primary elec tion is over and I have a majority of the votes cast which will nom inate me your State senator for the next four years, I want to thank those who voted for and gave me their support, but I find mere words inadequate to express my thanks to you.

As I said on the stump, I have the interests of this county and your interests at heart and if there is anything J can do for you as your senator it will be a pleasure for me to serve you. Iwant you to feel and know that I am your servant and I will welcome suggestions along legislative lines or along any line for your benefit or the welfare of this county and Alfred E. Smith.

X : Card Of Thanks From Mr. Furqueron I wish to take this method of ex tending my sincere thanks to the voters of McCormick County for the splendid vote given me on Tuesday, August 30th. EDWARD D. FURQUERON. X New Men To Control House At 1933 Assembly • • COLUMBIA, Sept. 3.—New mem bers of the South Carolina House of Representatives will have con trol of that body at the 1933 ses sion, on the Taasis. of a survey made by The State newspaper here today of the results of the legisla tive races in Tuesday’s Democratic primaries. This means they will have a ma jority when a new speaker is elect ed the second week in January to succeed John K. Hamblin of Union, who did not offer for re-election. A check made by The State shows 19 members offering for re-election were successful. Twenty-six other members are in second races. This gives, all told, 45 members, provided all the 26 in second races are elect ed—which is unlikely. Thirty-five members did not run for re-election and'a like humber ran but were defeated. Eight house members ran for the Senate, one being successful and one being in a second race. One House member was defeated for a seat in Congress and one died. There are 124 members of the House, and more than 79 of them. —the exact number depending on second race results—will be ncW members at the next legislative ses sion. The newspaper explained its tab ulations were made from tele graphic dispaj-ches and from coun ty papers, and that some minor changes may have resulted from Dfficial counts by the county ex ecutive committee this week. txt I wish to thank tbe voters of Mc Cormick County for their support in the first primary, Tuesday, August 30th.
