- No Contest Planned So Far.How;
ever?Rumors.
1 Anderson, August 28:?No con}
test of the votes cast in the election I
t is planned for tomorrow, when the
t, executive committee meets at noon
' to canvass the returns. Rumors
have been about since the polls,
closed yesterday to the effect that
l in some of the boxes more ballots,
5 were cast than names appearing on
5 the polling lists; that some minors
1 were allowed to vote; that ballots
t for State officers cast in county boxs
es. and vice versa, were counted as
- legal votes; that some were allowed
l to cast ballots at more than one pre"
? _ 1 _
F cinct and some managers 01 eiecuuu
called in outsiders to count the
votes. These reports are in the,
5 shape of rumors only, however, and
,* as far as can be learned tonight, no
. man or set of men has planned to !
bring these rumors to the attention 1
of the executive committee.
The main fact of approximately
1 1,500 votes cast over two years
' ago has been looked on by some with
|' suspicion, and from a member of (
the executive committee it is learn-;
! ed tonight that the committee will i
; make a recount of the returns to- j
I morrow. All action looking to a I
i contest, it is said, will depend on
' i the outcome of the recount. What
, results a recount will bring out are
_ i problematical. Some Jones supporters
have been heard to say that it,
is possible that several hundred B
, votes will be thrown put, while some 1
Blease followers have been heard toj
remark that a recount is but folly1
and they do not fear the results will
be changed any.
m
Charleston's Vote.
Two years ago Governor Blease
received, in the second primary, all
but eight hundred of the votes cast
i in Charleston county. (>n Tuesday
; he received eight hundred less than I
Judge Jones. The majority for j
Judge Jones in Charleston was about I
( thirteen per cent of the total vote I j
i cast in this county on the governor- [
! ship. It is the largest Jones major-1
ity cast in any county in the State
! next to that returned by Orange-! w
I burg, which is perhaps, a hundred
greater. If Jones majorities in w
equal proportion to the majority
given by Charleston had been given
all over the State, a total of almost
eighteen thousand maj ority would *
have been returned against Governor
Blease? Evening Post.

The county Democratic Executive

at noon today and proceeded to open
the ballot boxes and make an official
(^our.t of the returns from the various

The only case of exciting interest
to claim the attention of the committee
was that of Messrs R N
Speignertmd J G McCullough for4.1
- . i? C A. 1 4. DJ..
tne omce or ouperinienuenr 01 education.
It was found by the committee
that Mr Speigner had a majority
of five votes over Mr McCullough.
Mr Speigner, realizing the
closeness of the contest and the possibility
of a mistake, requested a
recount, which was agreed to by the
committee and resulted in a majority
of one vote for Mr Speigner. who
was declared to be the nominee.
This one ballot, which had not been
counted by the managers,was in the
Cades box. The name of Mr McCullough
had been marked out completely
and the initials "R N" in Mr
Speigner's name had a line through
them, but it was clear to the commifftin
fUof fUa i?afa*? infa?/1a/-] Kio
imbibe mat, 111c: iiitcziutru ma
ballot for Mr Speigner and so counted
it, thus giving him a majority of
1 over his opponent. The case will
probably be brought to the attention
of the State Executive Committee t
for a further decision and if that
body rejects the Cades ticket Mr
Speigner and Mr McCullough will be
on a tie vote and forced to run in
the second primary. The official
vote stands:
Speigner 1027
