In a statement issued this evening he

urges all the other a~spirants TO do the
same. and permit the Office so be be-
slowed without contest on General
Wade Hampton. Colonel Jones says
there are but two men In the state
whom he believes can get more votes
than himself for any office he seeks for

Colonel Jones urges the younger men
who are candidates TO join in
the old generals life with this enewal
OF popular esteem. As a boy he helped
bear Hampton on his shoulders to the
gubernatorial chair. and wishes TO
again show him honor.
The withdrawal Of the candidates
would eliminate what will otherwise
certainly be a bitter campaign. that
Will end in a split In the party. The
state chairman urges that this be
avoided and the people be allowed TO
give their attention to more profitable
pursuits. This Ection. is, therefore,
suggested as highly patriotic. besides
giving all factions an opportunity IN pay

feat for the senate at the height OF fac
tional bitterness eleven years ago Is now
deeply regretted by many - his oppo-
nents at hat time.
The plan Of the state chairman Is
that all the candidates bind themselves
to withdraw. provided General Hamp-
ton Will accept the office. and that then
there be no nva fer senator, and
under the rules the only votes counted
Will be those for General Hampton. the
only avowed candidate. That Senator
Tillman favors this scheme indicates a
