How the Members Voted ON the
Last Ballot, When Hydrick Won
Columbia, Feb. PA deadlock
lasting through thirty-seven ballots
was broken last night by the election
OF D. E. Hydrick, of Spartanburg,
as Associate Justice of the State Su-
preme Court to succeed Ira B. Jones,
who was recently elected Chief Jus
tice of the same Court. The fol-
lowing account Of the election is
taken from The State:
It became apparent during the bal
lot taken the day before and the
ballots taken yesterday morning that
Mr.. Hydrick was gaining rapidly and
with Nessrs Cathron and Sheppard
still in the race the ballot would
have been Indefinitely prolonged and
that legislation would have been
blocked.
It was no surprise. therefore,
when Senator Weston announced
last night that he was authorized
to withdraw the name of Mr.. John
C. Sheppard. Mr.. Sheppard hsd
received a magnificent vote and he
was gratifed with the support Of
his friends, but he felt that it would
be but prolongiRg q final decision to
allow his name 10 be used longer.
Mr.. Weston and other members
of the Richland delegation then cast
their votes solidly for Mt. Hydrick
and with the other changes it was
shown early in the final collection
that Mr.. Cathron was defeated.
Mr.. Catfron is one of the most
popular members OF the House. He
had strong support from the time
of his entry The name of John
C. Sheppared also carried a large
number of members and Mr.. Hydrick
had from the start strong ersani-
zation. Therefore it was evident that
there would be a deadlock until one
Of these three names was withdrawn.
The ballots taken yesterday were
as follows:
First ballot-Cothran IS; Hy-
drick, e3; Sheppard, So
Second ballot-Cothran, Al; Hy-
drick, IS; Sheppard, 46.
Third ballot-Cothran, 47; Hy-
drick, Il; Sheppard, 43.
Fourth ballot-Cothran, 40; by
drick, rs; Sheppard, IS.
After this ballot the name OF Mr..
Sheppard was Withdrawn and the
final ballot resulted as follows:
Cothran, 81; Hydrick, 103.
The election of Mr. Hydrick was
then formally announced. The ele-
vation Of Mr.. Hydrick as associate
justice means the election Of a cir
cult court judge for his unexpIred
term.
