Irby vs.. McLaurin.

WASHINGTON, July 1.-The announce
ment Of Irby's candidacy against McLau-
rim was not a surprise here. The South
Carolina congressman all agree that it
means q hot, fierce, typical reform"
campaign, and no member Of the delega-
ton is willing to go on record in predict
ing the result.
MIR. Latimer said "I am not commit
ted, and I told McIaurin SO yesterday. 1
have no concealments In the matter. II
McLaurin's election means a combination
to defeat Tillman's reelection, I ana
against him. Until all doubt in that d.
rection is removed I have nothing to say,
and whilst I may be fresh in legislative
experience, I want the State to know that
whatever progress has been made In
reference to the ~dispensary bill and what
ever hope Is entertained Of immediate or
ultimate success, is due entirely to the
efforts Of Senator McLaurin."
nothing to say In the matter. The mem
senatorship is tho unsolicited suggestion
of others. I promptly declined to enter
tain it, and T don't care to discuss the
present situation at this time"
Representative Strait said: II am re.
sponsible for the use of Talbert's name as
a senatorial candidate, and I represented
the controlling sentiment In my con-
gressional district in asking him to be a
candidate. It will be a close race in my
district between McLaurin and Irby."
Representative Stokes said: "Irby's
candidacy seriously complicates the stu
alton. Troy has great capacity as an Or
ganizer. He was thesonly Reform leader
In the State who succeeded in harmonic
ing factional differences in the party, and
has a strong personal following"
Representative Wilson said: ut will be
a sizzling hot fight from start to finish.
Irby is one OF McLaurin's discoveries.
He considered him at n time the peer
of Calhoun and Hayne in ability ard
craftsmanship, and McLaurin's rhetorical
efforts in adulation Of Irby had much to
do with his phenomenal political career"
"If he doesn't funk when the pinch
comes" said Mr.. Sampson Pope, "Irby
will make a great campaign and will be
q formidable candidate"
The impression here Is that the attempt
to make the tariff the issue In the cam
paign will force Senator Tillman to the
%espousal Of McLaurin's candidacy
