man in the state, filling speaking en-
sagemcnts, attending to q large vol

'iuNt a. NcHIlltt announcement of his
purpose in his speech at Grcenville

consensus of opinion here is that he
should not submit himself to the risk
of defeat In the present chaotic con-
dition of politics i'm the state. He

run. for his wonderful hold upon the
people of the county is stronger than

Chester, Nov. 16.-Congressman
Lever will make definite annonce-
ment before he returns to Washing
ton as to his intention regarding the
pressure which has been brought to
bear on him to enter the Senate race
between Senator Smith and Governor
Blease. There is every reason to be-
lieve this announcement will be forth
coming this week.
Congressman Lever spent yesterday
in Chester county, where he made an
address at a community fair in the
eastern part Of the county. Mr.. Lever
discussed agriculture and urged the
people to use their influence with the
general assembly to get through AN
appropriation at the coming session of
$4,000 to fight the cattle tick. IF
the legislature will make this appro-
priatiOn i believe l can get $4O,-
600 appropriation from congress- and
with the combined $4,000. we ought
to rid the State of the pest, which IL
causing the cattle growers a loss CT
over $l,O00.O0O every year." said the
and was given a cordial reception from
the crowd Of about 500 which gather
ed to hear him.
Mr.. Lever went to Columbia last
night Ell route to his home in Lex
ington county. He goes to Anderson
on Tuesday to make speech, and
from there to Greenville, where he
speaks on Wednesday. From Green
Vile he goes direct to Washington to
attend congress. .-.t
From the fact that Mr. Lever is
leaving the State to return to Wash
ington this week is ground for the be-
lief that his definite statement regards
ing his intention as to The senatorial
race will be coming out in a few
days. There is reason to change the
prediction made in this correspond
ence over two weeks ago that Con-
gressman Lever i'm his public an
nOunCement will say that he will not
make the race for the senate next
year. That has been understood by
every one in touch with the situation
in political circles for the past two
weeks
There has been strong pressure
brought to bear on Mr.. Lever from all
parts of the state to enter the race
for the senate next year. and there
is no denying the fact that he would
have changed the complexion of mat
ters had he entered. 1t is also known
that pressure was brought to bear on
him to try and induce him to enter
the gubernatorial race, but he never
seriously considered the latter.
Mr. Lever is very popular through
out the State and with a hold on his
own district the 7th, which no one
can shake. he would likely be re-
elected to congress, and probably
without opposition.
