HYDRlCK NAMED
For Associate Justice on the
Thlrty.Eighth Ballot
BY LARGE MAJORITY

Over Mr.. J. S. Cathron, Who Is a
Member of the House of Represen-
tative From GreenviIle County.
How the AIembers Voted on the
Last Ballot, When Hydrick Won.
Columbia, Feb. IA 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-
loving account of the election is
taken from The State:
1t became apparent during the bal
lot taken the day before and the
ballots taken yesterday morning that
Mr.. Hydrick was gaining rapidly and
with Messys Cathron and Sheppard
still in the race the ballot would
have been indefinitely prolonged and
that legislation would have been
blocked.
1t 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 had
received magnificent vote and he
was gratifed with the support OF
his friends, but he felt that it would
be but prolonging a final decision to
allow his name to be used longer
Mr.. Weston and other members
of the Richland delegation then cast
their votes solidly for Mr.. Hydrick
and with the other changes 1t was
shown early in the final collection
that Mr.. Cathron was defeated.
Mr.. Cathron 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 large
number of members and Mr.. Hydrick
had from the start a strong organi-
cation. Therefore it was evident that
there would be deadlock until one
of these three names was withdrawn.
The ballots taken yesterday were
as follows:
First ballot-Cothran 4S; Hy-
drick, 63; Sheppard, so.
Second ballot-Cothran, At; Hy-
drick, 6S; Sheppard, 46.
Third ballot-Cothran, Al; Hy-
drick, II; Sheppard, 49,.
Fourth ballot-Cothran, 40; Hy
drick, rs; Sheppard, 46.
After hisfballot the name of Mr..
Sheppard was withdrawn and the
final ballot resulted as follows:
Cothran, 81; Hydrick, 103.
1.-THE election of Mr.. Hydrick was
then formally announced. The ele-
walton of Mr.. Hydrick as associate
Justice means the election of cir
cult court judge for mis- unexpired
term.
