BUT NOTHING DONE!
The Sentiment, eve Don't Know
What to d." Broke Up
the Convention.
News and Courier.

News and Courier.
Even at this time nothing official
can be given out with regard to the
proceedings Of the caucus, which
really did all the little that was
done, and that was the adoption of
series of resolutions which may
or may not amount to anything.
WHEN DIsINTEGRATIoN BEGUN.
Of course everyone went into
the caucus realizing that the mo-
mentous question was whether
nominations should or should not
be made. and after the delegates
in disgust gave up the hope of
making nominations they were no
longer interested in the further
proceedings. Everything after that
went to pieces, indeed, the dlsin-
tegration began when the Orange
burg, Newberry, and Colleton dele
cations retired from the hall. If a
physician were to make diagnosis
of the disease that killed the con-
vention it would probably be To-
Gated at the disaffection and gen.
eral decentralization brought about
by the withdrawal of over a score
Of delegates. Had only one dele
CATION withdrawn there is no ques-
ton but that nominations would
have been made, as even to the last
a majority of the delegates were in
favor of making nominations, but
saw no use of going into a battle
with divided forces, general dis
satisfaction and all-round demor-
alization.
WHY THE CAUCUS WAS PROLONGED.
1t was expected that there would
be a preliminary caucus to map
out the work of the convention,
but it was not thought that the Sc
cret session would last until after
4 o'clock. There was no use in the
world for it. The delegates, how
ever, thought that there was no &C.
casion to have any of the delegates
go home dissatisfied. There was
an all-round desire to please every
one, and it was thought that after
the full and free discussion that
was had things would come out all
right, but as it was, the full discus
sion only tended to bring about a
crisis.
NINE HOURS AND NOTHING DONE.
1t took the preliminary caucus
Just nine hours to decide to do
nothing. Perhaps never before
has such variable convention or
caucus been held IN the State. One
time it looked very, very blue for
those opposed to nominations,
when all OF d, Sudden there came a
ray of hope for them, which unex-
pectedly burst out into full-blowll
"bloom" against nominations. Then
the caucus, to use vulgar express
sion, "just petered out" That is
about what some of the enthu-
siastic delegates have to say about
the matter.
ONLY A BIRDsETE VIEW.
Of course it must be remember
ed that all that was seen or heard
was from the view of an outsider.
There is, however, every reason to

A STATEMENT FROM EDITOR GONZALES
Editor Gonzales, who was strong
ly in favor of nominations, at my
request has given this statement as
to the defeat of the plan to NOM
mate:
"It was the sense of the conven-
ton that they were outrageously
deserted by men who had submit
ted their claims to the judgment
of the convention, and, after hav-
ing the fullest and freest Discus
sion, had been beaten by decisive
majority.
"That when they went out they
threatened rot only to desert the
ticket, but that they would fight it
and put us in the position of break
ing up the Conservative party.
1--WE refu sed to rescind the reso-
luton, but concluded, after ap-
pointing the committees on NOM
inations and platform, to place the
responsibility where it belonged

After discussing the situation
briefly at 7 o'clock the caucus took
a recess tn s o'clock without having
done a thing. The delegates were
worried about the possible length
of the session.

THE QUESTION AT ISSUE.

ldC QUESllOAN al lGSOCs
At 8 .25 the reports from the va
rious counties were all in, and then
came the question az to whether
nominations should or should not
be made. That was really the issue
involved in the convention. Mr..
Sanders, of the Spartanburg dele
CATION, brought the issue to focus
by introducing a resolution which
read that it was inexpedient to
make nominations at this time.
There was a good deal of discus
sion as to how much debate should
be permitted upon this question,
and by a rising vote it was decided
not to restrict the debate to three
hours as proposed. Subsequently
to this a motion was made to limit
the debate to four hours and each
of the speeches to ten minutes.
1t is said by those who talked
about the matter that the addresses
of Gen. McCrady, Col. i. W. YOU
mans and Mr.. Cromer, Of New
berry, were as fine as have ever
been heard in that nall. Indeed
it is claimed that the whole line of
debate was of an exceptionally
high order and entirely free from
animosity and bitterness, but that
the delegates discussed the matter
among themselves with the honest
intention of informing each other.
II was sometime after 2 o'clock
when the delegates thought that
they had enough of talking and
were ready to get to work upon the
question of moking nominations
or no nominations.
A MAJORITY FAVORs NOMINATIONS.
The roll of counties was called
and the vote recorded by counties.
There was only one record of it
kept and that is not obtainable,
but the result was: For nomina-
tons, 1913; against nominations,
90; majority for nominations, 33.
TIE BOTTOM FALLS OUT.
1t is said that a great many of
the delegates were pretty evenly

EACH COUNTY HEARD FROM.
At the night session, which was
still behind very close shut doors,
the first business was the hearing
of the reports from the various
counties as to the probabilities of
carrying a State ticket should it be
decided to make nominations. Of
course it was realized that this was
an important element with regard
to the practicability of putting a
State ticket in the field, and it is
somewhat interesting to know that
from a number of counties there
were a variety of opinions.
For instance, from Abbeville Mr..
Graydon wanted nominations, but
did not think it could carry the
county. Mr.. MCGOWAN opposed
nominations, and did not think
the ticket would be able to carry
this county. Barnwell's delegation
was divided. Beaufort, Senator
Verdier wanted nominations, 80
It's said. and thought the county
could be carried. Mr.. Fuller, on
the hand, thought it just as likely
that the county could not be car
ried for another State ticket. The
report from Charleston was special
ly interesting. Gen. McCrady was
opposed to nominations.
M'cRADY SPEAKS FOR CHARLESTON
Gen. McCrady explained, in an
eloquent speech, what he thought
to be the attitude of the people of
Charleston, and that The two Sena-
tors, the members of the House
and many others regarded them
selves as pledged to the regular
nominees as already in the field,
and that a full vote could not be
brought out for new State ticket.
Mr.. Fishburne presented the other
side of the picture, and thought a
strong vote would rally to another
ticket. So it went and the coun-
ties kept up their reports, varying
here and there.

port as to the chances of the pro-
