The Anti-D;spensary Leader May
Lose His Senatorship.
The dispsnsary people Of York
county have organ'zsd their forces to
ous> State Senator J. Steele Brice, the
anti.dispenssry leader and author of
the Br!ce act under which fourteen
counties have voted put their dispen-
saries.
The correspondent Of TIE Charles
ton Evening Post, who was at Rock
Hill last week, was informed by a
number of dispensary leaders that
Senator Brice's defeat for reelection
as county chairman on May Eas now
practically certain; enough delegate
have been elected last week to accom-
plish shat end.
W. q. Stewart, who has served a
long number OF years as reading clerk
Of the Senator and who is q splendid
organizer, is to be put up to beat Mr..
Brice. In addition to this 3 Conference
il to be held at Book HIl in the i'm
mediate future for ths purpose OF
nominating four stra'ghout dispsnsary
men for the Legislature.
Mr.. Brice's term as Senator does not
expires for two years and be therefore
can not be pu6 out altogether until
taat time, but his defeat as county
chairman means almost certainly hi:
defeat as Senator two years henca Az:
the elevation In bis place Of Mr.. SSs--
art.
Mr.. Brice attended the recent anti
dispensary secret conference here re
Gently. The meagre information given
out about its doings disclosed that 1t
vas the intention of the an5i-dlspsn-
sary people TO organize throughout the
State. So it Is thought likely that the
anti dispensary people Of York will
also put out legislative ticket. In
that event other counties in all probab-
ility 70 low suit.
The York fight appears to mark the
beginning Of drawing sharp lines on
the dispensary issue in the coming
summer campaign. Tue storm censer
at York appears to be at Fort Mill,
where straight Stewart delegation
has bsen chosen to the county conven-
tion. The hidden hand seems to be
that of ex Representative J. r. Halle,
Of that place, who Is backing Mr..
Stewart.
The Yorkville Enquirer Is support
ing the Brice faction, though all the
other newspapers Of the county are
said to have lined up on the other
side.
