CONSERVATIVES MOVE,
a Call on ths Members Of the Party to
Proceed to Organize for Work.
Grecnville Neavs.

In response to the call Of J. L. Carson,
Chairman of the Executive Committee
OF the Conservative Democracy, meet
ing Of the Committee was held in Colum-
hia Friday night. Representatives were
present from every part of the State.
They were called on for reports and their
reports were all the same.
The Conservatives everywhere are
practically unanimous on two points.
They will not go into primaries or bind
themselves to the results of the primaries
ordered by the Irby Executive Commit
tee.
They are willing to accept any division
Of delegates in which there is hope OF
electing men who will not be controlled
by the reigning ring; where such diVis-
ion is not given in good faith they de-.
mand straight contest at the general
election.
In obedience to the general and evident
demand for organization for a fight
wherever it may be necessary, the COM
mittee adopted and issued the following
To the People Of South Carolina:
On the third Tuesday in August Con-
yention will be elected which will meet
at Columbia in September to make new
Constitution for this State. This election
will be as important to you as that OF
|sIS76. The men who will represent you
Bin the Convention will have more power
than any officials provided for by our
laws. They will create law. BY their
action all the Legislatures, the State and
County officers and judges will be gov,
erned hereafter. Ali your personal and
property rights and those OF your chill
dren, your liberty and your children'ss g
I &bn-h0xo0r opds YorNonaritU and
peace Of the State for the future, will be
| in the keeping of chat Convention.
II the day Of election for delegates finds
jyou disorganized, undecided. divided by
| iactiona1 differences, personal preference
Iand local interests, the politicians VINO
Econtrol the party organization and State
Eelection machinery, the patronage and
| lall the official influence will easily secure
absolute control of the Convention which
will have such enormous power over you
and yours.
We believe you have too much love
for YOUR State, too much respect Tor your
own liberties and rights, to surrender
tsuch power to men whose only interest
and apparent purpose Is to secure fot
themselves permanent place and RUE
regardless of the results to the people and
os the viii of the people.
