FIX The ASSESSMENTS
FOR The CANDIDATES
A SENATORIAL CAMPAIGN WILL BE
HELD.
Itinerary Prepared-State Democratic
Executive Committee Met-Other
Matters Considered.

The State Democratic executive
committee meeting in Columbia Tues
day at noon in the library at the State
house fixed the assessments for the
candidates entering the State cam
paign, and decided upon a separate
itinerary for the candidates for the
United States senate, congress and
solicitor. The itinerary for the State
officers was mapped out at meeting
of a subcommittee, held here several
days ago. The constitutional pro-
vision of the party that a separate
campaign be held where there is more
than one candidate in the race for the
United States senate was cited by F.
II. Dominick, member of the executive
committee from Newberry county. Al
ter some discussion a resolution pro-
viding for the senatorial campaign
was adopted by the committee and the
subcommittee was authorized to pre-
pare the itinerary.
Assessments.
The following assessments for all
candidates in the campaign were liked
by the committee:
United States senate $3.50, congress
$500, governor s100, railroad commits
sion SIS, State officers, $50, solicitors
$50.
Il is estimated that over s4,100 will
be required for the campaign and
upon the above assessments about s4'-
600 will be raised. The first campaign
meeting will be held at Sumter next
Tuesday. John Gary Evans, the State
chairman, announced the appointment
of Christie Benet, of Columbia, as Sec
retary of the executive committee.
The senatorial campaign will open
in Columbia on Tuesday, June 20, and
will close in Aiken on August %. The
separate campaign was made neces-
sary because two candidates have al
ready filed their pledges for the United
States senate.T hey are Jasper W. Tai
bert. of Parksville, in Edgefeld coun-
ty. and N. B. Dial, of Laurens. Sena-
tor Tillman is in the race for re-elec-
ton, but he will not make the canvass
of the State. The candidates for con-
sress in the various districts and the
candidates for solicitor of the several
circuits will speak On the same day
with the candidates for the senate.
It was decided Tuesday by the exc
cutive committee not to return the
assessments a to candidates who with
draw from the race after fling their
pledges. All pledges must be filed by
next Monday at noon, the day before
the State campaign opens.
