''I am very much pleased witn the
outlook in the up country. | have
been in Anderson for several days and
from there Lave been to points in
Pickens, Oconee and Greenwood and
at every place where l have had an
appointment to speak have been given
most cordial reception. My friends
tell me, and from my personal OBJ
servation | do not believe they have in
tae least overdrawn the situation, that
l will have mapority OF Tuesday
OF some 1900 votes in Anderson coun-
ty and that in Pickens county my
majority will be 1000. In Oconee the
vote will be somewhat divided but all
the indications point to the fact that
l will lead in that county. In Green
wood my friends claim that l will lead
in tat county and claim Cor me a
majority over all the candidates on
Tuesday. In Abbeville l am salts
fed that the vote will be about equal
ly divided between Mr. Aiken and my
self.
Gov. Blease and myself spoke to
about 5000 people at Anderson on
Saturday night and we were both
given a great ovation. In fact at
every place where l have spoken 1
have been most cordially and court
eously received and there has been no
attempt to prevent me from speaking
