AS 10 DEMAND FOR PRIMARY.
The frat outlook Of debate occurred
near the close OF the session, when q
delegate from Abbeville, who had been
instructed to ask for g primary, arose
aud offered a resolution asking that
the convention demand a primary OF
the May convention.
Mr.. Cannon, Of Laurens, introduced
as substitute that the demand be
made Of the September convention and
not the May. Ex-Governor Mauldir
favored the demand.
| Mr.. Williams, Of Greenville, SAID he
came to Columbia a red-bot primary
demander. but saw the risk of asking
| for il. IF il was conceded that The
May convention had right to grant {
primary and change its constitution II
that respect. Il could on the sam'
grounds change the constitution ane
nominate ticket in May.
Mr.. Anderson, VI Anderson. made {
'rong. clear argument against the de
mand for primary. It would Civ
the May convention loop-hOle. ah'
az he machinery could not be gotte,
in operation in time for the May con
yention il would be best not to try t
get that. but that he felt sure the.
could carry the September convention
He thought it best to look at the prac
tical side Of the question and not max
the demand.
Mr.. W. e. McGowan, Of Abbeyille
said he came here favoring a demand
but saw it would lead to trap and h
wanted to make the fight strictly !
the party lines. and that he wanted t
defeat I'illman. as he felt sure woul
he done.
Mr. Grav,lnn agreed with Mr.. Nj
Guwan. Mr.. Mauldin withdrew HI
objections to the Cannon resolutions
seeing the force cf the remarks.
Governor Hampton asked if the resi-
lutiuns were not out Of order. not ha'
ing been referred to the committee.
