Governor Talks About May
fields Statement at Edge
field.

Governor Ellerbe bad something to
say about Mr.. Mayfeld's statement
on the stump at Edge6eld quoting
the governor as saying he wished to
form new party The Evening Rec
ord thus reports what the governor
had to say
"Governor Ellerbe was asked this
morning about this statement. He
was very much surprised that May
field should have made it and insisted
tha. May6eld must have been mis-
quoted by the reporter.
ssThe facts of the matter, as stated
by the governor, are as follows
"Mayfeld came into his Office and
gave information of his intention to
be senatorial candidate. May6eld
then asked he governor what course
he would pursue, desiring to know
if the governor, because Of his ap
pointment of McLaurin, was going
to make any special effort to secure
his election.
"Gogernor Ellerbe replied that
while McLaurin was in the senate by
virtue of an executive appointment,
that would not bias him and he
would let the senatorial race run its
own course, provided, however,
none of the candidates assailed him
and his administration, in which case
he would be obliged for self preserva.
ton to oppose the man who had
dragged him into campaign in
which be had no part or parcel. To
this, of course, Mr. May6eld could
make no objection
"In friendly and confidential
wav, the governor Informed Mayheld
he had heard it was his intention to
make the race as an old, or original
Reformer and attempt to draw the
factional lines in order to profit by a
bitter division of the people As a
frieno he advised him not TO pnrsue
such a policy, stating his belief that
the best people of the State were
getting together irrespective of past
factional differences and that public
sentiment would not approve an
effort to divide the white voters of
South Carolina into two hostile
camps
.sAnd from that slender source, if
he be correctly reported, Mayfield
constructed cock apd bull story
about the governor trying to form a
new faction"

has strong pull, and one which is
