GLAZE ELECTED JUDGE

BE WAS NOT A CANDIDATE Fol
! THE HIGH HONOR.
had Positively Declined to Allow thu
| Use Of His Name for the Posi-
ton.
The following in connection witt
the election Of Major W. l.. Glaze a:
Judge Of the First Circuit will be
read with interest by his friends. i
is from the Columbia Record anG
shows that Major Glaze was In NJ
sense candidate for the high anG
honorable position which has beer
thrust upon him. We can corrob'
crate every word the Record says
about the matter, as Major Glaze
made the same statement to US the
night before he was elected. Here
Ia what The Record says:
W. L. Glaze was Wednesday elect
ed Judge of the first judicial circuit
on the third ballot. There were
four others In the race-Octayus
Cohen Of Berkeley, E. J. Dennis Of
Berkeley, P. T. Hildebrand Of Or.
angeburg and N. s. Connor OF St,
George. The name of Mr.. Cohen
was withdrawn after the first bal
lot; and those Of Messrs. Hildebrand
and Connor after the second, leaving
! the third ballot between Messrs. Den
mis- and Glaze. OF the 159 votes cast
on the ballot, Mr.. Glaze received 81
votes and MIR. Dennis 72 a majority
Of IS for Mr. Glaze. Judge Glaze
succeeds Judge Copes, who resigned
Major ". L. Glaze mas been for
| many years prominent lawyer al
| the Orangeburg bar. He was for
merly the partner Of the late Judge
| Izlar in the firm Of 1zlar, Glaze &
| Herbert. He has been for many
years the senior Of the firm Of Glaze
| & Herbert.
In spite Of the very fattering elec-
ton by the general assembly when
he was not a candidate before that
body, and after positively declaring
that he would not be a candidate, nor
accept the position If offered to him,
there is yet some doubt about his &C
ceptance of the judicial ermIne, and
his friends have been able to secure
from him no more than a promise
that he will not now state that he will
not accept the election and serve the
state.
Many friends. insluding those who
we're urging and advocating the elec-
ton Of Mr.. Octavus Cohen, have been
busy since the election in an effort
to persuade Major Glaze to accept, as
they feel that in Major Glaze the
state would have an ideal judge.
Major Glaze is in the city for the
purpose Of attending the meeting OF
the state bar association, In which
he is an active member. To repor-
ter for The Record he said that were
he ten years younger, and In good
health, he would have no hes1tancy
In accepting the very great honor
| that has been conferred on him, but
he doubts his physical ability to
stand the strain that would be put
upon him in the judgeship. He rec
ognizes the duty Of any son of the
State to respond to call for service,
II he be able to give 1t, and such
| questions as these, rather than per-
scnal inclination, govern and will
govern him in this decision.
The joint assembly convened for
the election Of Judges, superintendent
Of penitentiary and three directors
Of the same institution.
Gen. James put in nomination for
Judge Of the first circuit the name OF
Octavus Cohen of Berkeley, which
was numerously seconded. Senator
Laney nominated E. J. Dennis OF
Berkeley, with seconds from all
sides. Senator Lide placed in nomi-
nation the name Of P. T. Hildebrand
Of Orangeburg, which caused many
endorsements. Senator Gross OF
Dorchester put in nomination the
name Of N. S. Connor Of St. George
and he was strongly seconded. On

Orangeburg was introduced by Sen
ator Carlisle Of spartanburg.
On the first ballot ISL votes were
cast, 81 being necessary for election

circuit.

deadlock. The total number of votes
