them. The primaries will probably be in

Sept. i5 The people will suggest to the
governor whom to appoint.
Senator Tilman said he thought Mc-
Laurin is considerably weaker now tran
when he ran against and defeated John

opposed McLaurin then. although thar
was the general belief at the time.
II did not oppose him and my friends
did not fight him then, and there are
hundreds of men who voted for Nc
Laurin who will take any other man

McLaurin's declaration that he wishes
to make a square fight with Tillman has
caused surprise, as IL is considered he will
have much less chance of reelection
against Tillman than against all the
other candidates who may come out
against him If he ran for reelection for
