pressed his qualification, stating that it
was so reasonable thing for the Presi-

not be sent to Columbia until he

against any crowd attempting to go
int the building, and wanted also to
prevent any demonstrations OF an ex-
citing character.

principal police officers at Columbia to
station policemen in front Of the State
