his name to the State democratic con

John Gary Evans, of Spartanburg, pre

that be will not offer for re-election.
Mr. Evans; who has )><?? i? chairman
of the committee for eight ye:;.-- an
nounces that he will not !><? a ca; d.:
date to succeed himself, although' o
is his intentions to retain the post of
Xational Cpmmitteeman,
.Mr. Tobias has made a remarkable
record as secretary. hi the midst ?f
heated faction:;! fights in ? at
which time the Australian ballot was
used in the State elections for the first

hundred precincts without a single <r

an achievement which was widely
comment^ upon in political circles.
Mr. Tobias is perhaps more faniilar
with the workings of the executive

any other one main In the Stale, and
for this reason as well as others he is
regarded by his friends as the logical
successor to Mr. Evans. Mr. Tobias
