1t was practically the same as that pro-
posed by Mr.. kirkland, and tho latter
withdrew his resolution.
Chairman lIby remarked that there
was some misunderstanding as to the
qualifications Of voter. He then
spoke as follows:
"Gentlelnen and the Crmmittee:
"Hhere Is one question that is uefng
agitated in South Carolina ard has
Deen agltated for several months to
Whlch would call your attention. SO
1ar as am concerned, as chairman OF
the Democratic party, do not propose
TO dooge the question. In It's consider
alton J. shall not undertake to influ.
ence or dictate to any member of the
committee, and | repeat 1T most en-
phatically, that / will not dictate to
the committee, but to suggest to you,
gentlemen, that we march right up to
front and fake our position upon this
question. So far as am concerned, as
the member of this committee from
Laurens and the chairman of the Exc.
cutive Committee Of the party of this
state, shall not hesitate (even should
1t be necessary by tie vote to give my
opinion by my vote) to express my own
convictions on this question.
"The question l refer to is this, and
am unwilling to evade it, for SEQ q
disposition to dodge 1t, though do not
use the word dodge in its offensive
sense--whether men who participated
in-She primaries of 1892, In the nomina-
tion OF State officers and other cand1.
dates, who voted in the club and sent
delegates to the State convention which
elected delegates to the national con.
vention at Chicago to nominate Pres
ident-whether these men who are
known as Third partyites, shall be per-
mitted to participate in the gene1a al
primary to be held in August next. AS
your chairman 1 feel it to be my duty
to say that we should take some posi-.
tive, decided, outspoken action on this
question. l say, l repeat, that we, as
representatives of the Democratic party
Of South Carolina-and I am glad to
see that every county Is represented
