rolls and poll lists of Newberry coun-
ty to him here so that the work could
be done in Greenwood, but that so far
he had not heard from Mr.. Dominick.
The following is copy of the letter
to Mr.. Dominick:
"Greenwood, Sept. II, 1912.
Erred H. Dominick, County Chair
man, Newberry.
Dear Sir: l have your letter of
the 10th in which you state that you
will not assist us in the primary in
vestigation by appointing commit
tee for your county to assist in the
general work of investigation as out
lined by me in my letter to you some
days ago.
won't you please forward the club
rolls and poll lists to me by express
so that I can have the work done
here? We were directed by resolu-
ton of the executive committee to do
this work, and we hoped that we
would have the assistance of the
county executive committees of the
several counties. Please make list
of the club rolls and poll lists which
you send to me, so that can sign a
receipt for the same and return to
you. Yours truly,
81. B. Park"
Copy to John Gary Evans"
The original letter of refusal from
Mr.. Dominick was sent to John Gary
Evans at Spartanburg with the fol-
lowing letter:
"Greenwood, Sept 19, 1912.
'Hon. John Gary Evans, Spartanburg.
Dear Sir: Herewith 1 am handing
you a letter which 1 received today
from Fred H. Dominick, of Newberry,
and copy of letter which 1 am writ
ing him. Won't you please write to
Mr.. Dominick and ask him to send
these poll lists and club rolls to me?
yours truly,
81. B. Park"
Mr.. Park stated that he had not
received a reply from Mr. Dominick
and that he did not know whether he
would still refuse to assist in the in
vestigation or not. He said, further,
that almost all the county chairmen
had promptly given their promise to
aid in every way possible. When
asked what counties had not as yet
done so he mentioned Laurens and
Newberry.
Both the chairman of Laurens and
the chairman of Newberry are attor-
neys of record for Gov. Blease, Mr..
Dominick in Newberry, and ]. NJ. Can
non in Laurens.
While nothing specific was given
out it was learned that some good
work has been going on in several of
the Piedmont counties and in other
counties. The results of all this work
will be brought out at the meeting in
Spartanburg next week.
Mr.. Dominick in his letter Of re-
fusal said:
while personally I am not oppos-
ing an investigation no subcommittee
will be appointed or any investigation
ordered in this county, and I do not
concede that you have any right to
ask me to make such investigation, in
the absence of specific charges"

These are tentatively laid down,
subject, of course, to the approval of

ton by that time to go straight
through the matter promptly.

PLAN FOR PROBE.
w. F. Stevenson Writes of Spartan.
burg Inqufry-Suggests Rules
to Follow.

w. +. stevenson, chairman or the
subcommittee from the State Demo-
cratic executive committee to investi-
gate the charges of fraud in the re-
cent primary, has forwarded the State
the proposed plan for the conduct Of
the inquiry which will be instituted
at Spartanburg Tuesday, September "a.
Mr.. Stevenson suggests certain rules
for the approval Of the committee at
the meeting. He points out that the
burden of proof is On those bringing
the charges; the public may be heard
in making charges; that in such coLn-
ties as no proof of irregularity is
shown such county should be passed;
that only those counties will be inves-
tigated where tangible specifications
are in hand; that it should be the en-
Geavor of the committee to take up
the contested counties one by one, be-
ginning at Spartanburg and continue
until completed.
Mr.. Stevenson's communication in
full is as follows:
TIC Messrs. Shand & Shand and F. G.
Tompkins, Attorneys for Ira 3.
Jones, contestant, and F. H. DOM
mick and Eugene Blease, Attorneys
for Cole. L. Blease, contestee, and
to John T. Duncan, contestant.
You will please take notice that the
committee to investigate the late pri-
mary for governor will begin the tax
ing Of testimony at Spartanbucg, 5.
c., On September "a, meeting at the
county court house at / p. m.
Subject to the approval of the COM
mittee when it meets, it seems to the
undersigned that the following rules
should be followed:
l. That the burden of proving ir-
regularities or fraud sufficient to an
null the election or reverse the face
of the returns rests upon those charg-
ing the same.
2. That since the entire public is
as deeply interested and have been
invited to furnish evidence of crook
edness if known, the public will have
the right to be heard ii: support Of
charges made AMI these maSihg
charges whether The puol;c generally
or the contestants sao,: prad"ce
their proof in op ming.
3. That the contestec has then the
right to offer proof in re5ut1al and
the contestants in reply.
4. That where no proof IS produced
as to county, either by the contest
ants or by the public as heretofore re-
quested, and the records as furnished
the committee show nothing wrong,
such county shall be passed as correct,
proof of crookedness not having been
Forthcoming to overthrow the pre-
of correctness which always
prevails.
5. That applying such rules, only
those counties will be investigated
where tangible specifications are in
hand, either produced by contestants,
the public or appearing from the rec
ords collected by the subcommittee
appointed heretofore, and it will be
the endeavor Of the committee to take
up the counties and complete them,
one at time, beginning at Spartan
burg, this course to be varied as JUS
tice may require, of course

Sharpe Willing to
Listen to Alumni

ITHACA, n. Y, March l3.-At a con-
ference of Cornell football alumni Al
Sharpe, who is going to coach the foot
ball team next fall, announced some
thing about his policy and of the foot
ball system that would be taught to the
Cornell would-be players.
Sharpe said he would be willing to
take advice and talk over the situation
with the Cornell football alumni, who
returned to Ithaca. 1t is probable that
he will be pleased to have plays sug
gested to him ard go over with the
others the possibilities of plays and
formations. The football that will be
taught on the field. however, will be
all of one system. Sharpe and the
others who will coach with him will
teach one kind of football, and that will
be Sharpes kind. He says that only
the men who are coaching on the field
from lne beginning to the Cnd will be
given a chance TO teacn football to the
Candid"tes.
In other words the complaint of the
players this year that every new coach
wanted to show them some other way
to play viii not be called for next fall,
