With the Result Of the Recent Prl-

He TALKS ABOUT THE OUTCOME.
Expresses Ills Qualification at the
Very Handsome Vote Given
Him In All Parts Of
Snilth Carolina.
south Carolina.

Capt. d. c. Hayward passed through
Charleston last Thursday, en- route to
Columbia. Capt. Hayward stated that
he could not be but intensely gratltled
at the handsome vote accorded him,
and while he felt highly complimented,
he accepted it as an evidence that the
great mass of voters in South Carolina
approved of his efforts to conduct his
campaign on high principles, and thaU
they were in accord with his platform
to administer the laws OF the state
fairly and impartially and to be q gov
ernor of the entire state, without re-
gard to factionai or sectional differ
euCeS.
i certainly appreciate the vote
given me by the people Of Charleston,
he said. Il cannot possibly thank
them III person. but l felt 50 assured
of their kind consideration that be-
fore the recent primary l devoted my
time elsewhere. feeling assured that
Charleston would stand by me. as she
has SO loyalty done. l hope to be back
here in Il few days and meet as many
of my Charleston supporters as posi-
BILE. Another gratifying feature OF
the recent vote was the very liberal
support given me by the mill districts.
I have always been a friend to the Ia
boring men, as evidenced by the unanl-
nous vote given me by every laborlng
man who lives in my neighborhood,
but have not been in public life be-
fore. and had no way heretofore
to prove it, ana therefore cannot but
feel that the loyal way in which the
mill districts stuck by me is a tribute
well worth cherishing, and should L
become governor l will endeavor to
prove to those worthy citizens of our
state that they have not reposea their
trust in me unwisely."
What do you think of your chances
in the second primary" was querled
by the reporter.
"They could scarcely be better and
not be certainty" replied Capt
Hayward. Il believe practically every
vote given me in the first primary will
be accorded me in the second race. In
my case you see the support was the
spontaneous expression Of people 10
one whom they trusted. 1t was, l
take it, a vote of love, affection and
respect and they will be just as ready
to give it to me in the second race as
they were in the first. l have every
reason to count on the support OF the
friends of the defeated candidates. In
the campaign I treated every one OF
my opponents fairly and gave them
every possible consideration. l have
the good will of DR.. Zimmerman,
Col. Tillman, Cnl. Talbert, and Mr..
Ansel. All of them I count as friend
" to me and in the second race
count on receiving the bulk OF the
votes of each defeated candidate.
The total vote, you see, recorded
up to date, is about $4,000, and using
that simply as a basis, 10000 odd
votes will be required to elect. My
vote is already about %, 900, so 1 mere
ly have to get 5000 votes out Of the
1000 given to my opponents to give
me the required 10000. These figures
are crude, but they are practically
about the way it will result and a
blind man can therefore see that my
chances are excellent. Just let my
supporters remain true and then use
all fair and honorable methods OF in
ducing the supporters of the defeated
candidates to join with them in their
support Of me-"
What about your movements,
Capt. Hayward" inquired the newspa-
per man. -.
MY movements" he replied, will
be largely governed by circumstances.
My plan is, however to continue the
fair, upright, honorable and high
campaign which Ihave heretofore con-
Quoted, and knowing and believing,
as do, that it meets the full approval
Of the State, my efforts will be to roll
up large majority, SO that there Will
be no question as to whether the peo-
pie Of South Carolina approve OF the
manner of the campaign which just
has hnan concluded.
