Jones Claims Convention.

Columbia, May 10. = Governor
Blease, in talking Tuesday Of the
results of the Democratic county con-
ventions Monday, stated that he was
satisfied with the results, and that he
felt that the fact that a majority of
the conventions went for Jones was
no indication that the primary would
go in a like manner.
He said that he would concede the
State Convention for Jones; that
that body would endorse the Jones
candidacy, but he said he would then
beat Judge Jones by vast majority.
The Jonse leaders, in talking of
the results stated that, while the re-
suits of the convention are no indica-
ton Of the way the Governors race
will end, they are indicators Of pub
lie sentiment and Of the fact that the
leading men in the counties are at
work for Jones; that the results of
the convention elections will 60 a
