The Meeting in Greenville.

Greenville, S. c., Sept. 25.--Evi-
dence which upon it's face indicates
the grossest fraud being practiced in
Greenville county in the primary of
August 27, was placed before the sub
committe of the of South Carolina
democratic executive committee at a
brief session held in the court house
here this afternoon.
A local committee which has been
conducting an investigation in Green
vile county reported that repetitions
of, names on polling lists had been
found in $40 instances, and that the
names were repeated anywhere from
one to five times each, which indi-
Gates that $40 men voted anywhere
from two to five times each in the
primary.
The committee further reported
that it had been unable to identify
1913 names on the polling list of one
box in the city. The most elaborate
methods were used to identify the 725
men who voted at this box, but 1913
of them could not be found even with
the assistance of detectives
On account of no notice being given
of the meeting of the subcommittee
here this afternoon, several witnesses
were absent. Their testimony will be
offered later if the committee desires
it.
The Union times. [volume] (Union, S.C.) 1894-1918, 1912-09-27
been made except a letter stating that

been made except letter stating that
there was no fraud.
In Cherokee county the election
was conducted in a slipshod manner
and there were numerous Irregular
tiles, but intentional fraud was alb
sent.
In Edgefield county no irregulari-
ties were noted.
Greenville County.
There was a long report from
to that from Spartanburg county,
where the same method of investiga-
tion was pursued. 1t was expected
that Detective E. S. Reed would tes-
tify in regard to fraud in Greenville
county, but he did not appear
The report from Greenville county,
signed by Avery Patton, chairman,
stated that while there were ,numer-
our irregularities, no evidence had
been discovered of fraudulent intent
or the accomplishment of fraudu-
lent purpose. 1t is believed that
many fictitious names appeared on
the club rolls. On the Greenville
Centra club poll list there appeared
128 names of persons whose identity
could not be ascertained. These
names are believed to be in some
cases fictitious. From ten to fifteen
per cent of the persons whose names
appeared on the poll lists fthe clubs
In some cases men voted under the
names of dead people.
Mr.. Patton urges the enactment of
proper laws to safeguard the primary
saying it is impossible to prevent
fraud under the present rules, and
that the very difficulty of investigat-
ing fraud in an invitation to fraud.
John T. Duncan asked the privilege
of filing an affidavit in regard to
G~eenville county.
In Greenwood conuty no report has
been rnade but one is coming.
In Hampton county, it was stated,
the primary was loosely conducted,
but not to greater degree than at
previous elections.
In Jasper county, Mr.. Jefferies
stated, there were no charges of
fraud, but there were a few irregu-
larities, as elsewhere.
John N. Cannon explained what
had been done. in Laurens county,
where it was reported there was no
fraud.
There was no report from Lexington
Fred H. Dominick explained what
had been done in Newberry county,
where the charges Of fraud were so
few in number and with so lite show
of substantial backing that they were
considered negligible.
There were no reports from Oconee
or Pickens counties. Saluda and
Union counties made no investiga-
This completed the roll of the
counties in one of the two sections
into which the state was divided for
purposes of the investigation.
The roll of the other counties will
be called when the committee meets
today.
Before adjourning Mr.. Stevenson
stated that he had obtained from Mr..
Durand, director of the census, some
figures in regard to the population of
South Carolina which he would-sin-
troduce. They are from the census
Of 1910. Mr.. Dominick said he would
introduce some evidence-es to the in

"Give him all the time he wants."
Yes, we want to hear what John
Duncan has to say" cried Mr.. Mich
oils.
When Mr.. Duncan had concluded
Mr.. Butler moved that the roll of
counties be called, beginning with
Spartanburg Before this was. begun
Mr.. Dominick outlined his. views as
to the manner in which he thought
the Investigation should be conduct
ed.
I. A. Pifer then started to read a
report of the results obtained in the
investigation of the election in Spar
tanburg county.
Asks for His Authority.
Mr.. Nichols demanded to know by
what authority Mr.. Pifer had made
| an investigation. w. w. Lancaster,
chairman of the subcommittee of the
Spartanburg county democratic exec
utlve committee appointed to investi-
gate the charges Of fraud, explained
that Messrs. Pifer, ]. Hertz Brown
and L. w. Perrin had been requested
to assist this subcommittee.
When he had finished reading, he
added: GAS additional specifications
of fraud we allege that seven or eight
people voted at Trough who are resi-
dents Of Union or Cherokee counties.
Their names will be furnished later"
Attorney Shand stated that Judge
Jones had no other evidence of fraud
In Spartanburg county except such as
had already been disclosed by TIE
county subcommittee or might later
be disclosed.
1t was decided to place the Spar
tanburg county club rolls and poll
lists with the clerk of court, where
they will be subject to the call of the
committee or the examination of the
attorneys on eithr side.
whenever an affidavit was offered it
should not be accepted by the com
mittee until the affiant had been
brought before the committee and
placed on the stand for cross exami-
nation. Mr.. Stevenson ruled the mo-
ton out OF order and the roll call of
| counties was continued.
Votes Not Sworn.
In Abbeville county it was report
ed that in inquiring into a magiste-
| rial election it was found that at
Cold Spring and Antreville precincts
the managers and the voters were
not sworn, and, accordingly, these
boxes had been thrown out, including
the ballots for the candidates for
governor.
Scores of affidavits were submitted
in regard to Irregularities in Aiken
county, especially at Bath and Gran
iteville.
Anderson county also reported
numerous Irregularities, MANY of
which have already been mentioned
in the newspapers.
John T. Duncan asked the privi-
iege of filing an affidavit in regard to
Anderson county.
On motion of Mr.. Park, it was de-
cided to dispense with the reading of
the affidayits and county reports, and
to give the attorneys for either side
the right to make copies. -
In Bamberg county the sub-com-
nittee Of investigation has not yet
| filed its report.
In Beaufort county no report has

ton of the club rolls and poll lists
as suggested by Mr.. Stevenson, and
whie they regarded such publication
as useful, felt that the plan could
only cause delay. The public was so
aroused, he said, that in justice not
only to the candidates, but to thd
state, these charges should be cleared
up without delay. And this could
have been done weeks ago, he said,
just as well as now.
Third, he objected to the procedure
of the subcommittee. Mr.. Jeffries
said he had been asked by Mr.. Viii
chairmen of seven counties, but had
declined to do so because the an
swers were to go to Mr.. Stevenson
instead of to Mr.. Jeffries.
Mr. .Jeffries' speech was received
with uproarious applause.
Mr.. Wilson's Reply.
Mr.. Wilson arose and said he was
sorry he could not comply with Mr..
Jeffries' request to be allowed to
throw his stone and then run away.
Mr.. Wilson then proceeded to say
that he had fully explained to Mr..
Jeffries the matters which Mr..
Jeffries was misconstruing.
81 object" said Mr.. Wilson, "to
Mr.. Jeffries leaving the impression
that we are trying to delay the work
instead of fastening it. My friend
from the baby county (Jasper coun-
ty) has been obsessed with the view
that he is from the baby county, and
he is trying to play the part"
Mr.. Park arose and said that the
committee had gathered for work,
and he thought it appropriate that
they get down to work and not fill
the record with speeches.
Mr.. Park made q motion that the
committee approve and confirm the
action of Chairman Stevenson in di-
viding the committee into two small
er committees in order to expedite
the work. Mr.. Jeffries moved to
table Mr.. Parks motion. Mr.. jeff
cries motion was lost and Mr.. Parks
carried.
Causes an Uproar.
Mr.. Greer at this point said he
wanted to make a motion. He said
something to the effect thet he ap-
Pealed to the people of South Caro-
lima. but was interrupted by Mr..
Stevenson, who told him to direct his
remarks to the chair. Mr.. Greer
then denounced the action of Mr..
stevenson in meeting with some of
the members of the committee in
Charlotte.
Wild yells burst from the Blease
men in the audience, and they leaped
from their seats and pressed forward.
1t appeared as If there would be a
riot.
Mr.. Stevenson declared nat unless
the disorder ceased the committee
would go into secret session.
"You can't do it. We won't allow
it," shouted Mr.. Greer. thoroughly
angry, and many Of the disturbers
echoed the words.
Sam j. Nichols made himself
heard and said. Everybody knows
me and my politics and where stand.
ask you as favor to me, for my
sake, and the sake Of Spartanbure
quiet"
John T: Duncan also spoke. He said
the people were all suffering from
political hysteria.s, y
Mr.. Stevenson asked Mr.. Duncan
