BlELsE WOULD RUN AGAIN,
SAYS THAT IN AID PROBABILITY
HE WILL BE CANDIDATE,


Columbia. July 10.-"In all prob.
ability 1 will be in the race for COVER.
nor next summer" said former Gov
Cole l.. Blease this morning when ask.
ed the question by newspaper men
who directed his attention to q story
In an Atlanta paper yesterday which
quoted Warehouse Commissioner Nc.
Laurin as saying that the former gov
ernor would run again next summer,
He would not make a definite state
ment, as he stated that it was too far
on. but left very little doubt in the
newspaper mems mind about the mat
ter.
The former governor said he had
received many letters from people
throughout the State and many had
called In person urging him to run for
governor He read part Of an answer
no was writing to a friend, in which
he made the statement that he would
probably run for governor next sum-
mer.
III has been openly talked around
Columbia for some weeks that form
er Gov. Blease would make the race
Tor governor again next summer. 1t
Is also understood that the Blease
faction will run a complete State tick
ct In the next primary and a legisla-
tive ticket In each county. No def
mite information has been obtained as
to the plans. but it is known that
several leaders have been in Columbia
recently. and II is the general under
standing that plans are forming for
the next State primary.
With former Gov. Blease at the
head Of the ticket ginger" would be
injected into the campaign. While he
has made no statement. it is presum-
ed that Nr. b. Frank Kelly. Of Bish-
opvilie will run for Lieut.. Gov. The
plans OF the faction are said to include
a candidate for every State office.
Whether Attorney General Thomas H.
Peoples will stand for reelection or
seek higher hOnors is not known. he
having not yet intimated anything.
There has been some talk in political
circles that IL Mr.. Blease should hap
pen not to run for governor that Mr..
Peoples would enter the race. But
their plans are for q candidate for
secretary of State, comptroller gem
eral. State treasurer. commissioner of
agriculture. railroad commissioner,
adjutant general and all other State
officers. so 1t Is stated.
Gov. Richard I. Manning and Lieut..
Gov. Andrew j. Bethea will be caudI-
dates to succeed themselves and the
other State officials will probably
seek reelection.
The entrance Of Blease ticket pre-
sages a fight for control of the Demo-
cratic clubs and Of the next Demo-
cratic State convention, State e ecu-
tive committee and the primary rules.
However. the present rules. requiring
personal enrolment and fixing the time
OF residence. cannot be changed by
the next convention. for they have
been enacted into law. and 1t would
take an Act of the legislature to re-
peal them. Therefore there is a
guarantee that the next primary elec-
tion will be held under the same rules
and regulations as that Of 1914.

ton OF international law and common

matte phraseology, is an evasive, but
none the less complete rejection of all

Germany reiterates the intention to
continue the torpedoing OF merchant
ships without respect to the safety of
passengers and crews. and the United
States Is warned that the only guar

to keep out OF the zone OF operations
OF the undersea craft. That Is the
sum and substance Of the German re-
ply. and the United States Is asked In
90 many words. What are you going
TO do about it?" The issue is put
sauarely up to President Wilson and
the American people; II Is for him as
the spokesman OF the American peo-
pie To say whether or not we are to
submit TO the German assumption of
the right and power to restrict the
use of the seas as II suits their pur-
poses and ambitions. The United
States have been forced into position
by Germany that makes 1t incumbent
upon US either to deliver an uitimatum
to that country or tamely submit to
the Kaisers dictation and thereby lose
caste as a nation OF the first class.

to be one OF the few unhyphenated
Americans who processes to believe
that the German reply is satisfactory

GIRL

AMELIA HUNTER HAS MADE A DE-
CIDED HIT WITH TALENTED HA.
WAlIAN MUSICAL COMPANY
NOW PLAYING IN DENVER.

Miss Amelia Hunter OF this city
who has been In Denver for the past
three months visiting her sister, has
created quite a stir in musical circles
in that city, according to the Rocky
Mountain News. For some time Miss
Hunter has been a student of the Ha-
waiian language as well as the native
music Of our insular possessions, and
so proficient has she become in master
ing both, that she is regularly called
upon to sing In concerts given by ma
tive Hawaiian musicians now engaged
by the leading music house in Denver,
and recent program received in this
city, and a review Of the work done by
these artists, pays tribute to the abili-
ty of the Ardmore girl.
In last Saturdays program, Miss
Hunter appeared in three numbers
and from press comments, was the star
of the cast. Commenting on 1t, the
News stated that Miss Hunter, an
American girl singing in the Hawaiian
language added a feature to the pro-
gram not heretofore accessible, and
praised her work most highly. In
explanation the News further COM
mented that Miss Hunter was an Okla
homa girl visiting her sister in Den
yer and acquired her proficiency so
rapidly that It was encouraging TO 9TH
ers who desire TO learn thsi language.
Miss Hunter Is girl OF whom Ard
more is proud. She has worked hard
for her musical education. and as pro
prietor of the original Majestic thea
tire In this city, was the youngest lady

United States All rejoice with her in
any success she may achieve.

OIL Well East Of Ardmore Looks Too
Good to Be Abandoned.

An old-time oil well driller in
talking today of the Awirco well
east of Ardmore says that the form.
ations look so good that the hole
should not be abandoned. lie says
the formations are running with the

found oil at 1740 feet. and he feels
sure that If this well is kept drilling
that at 1900 feet an oil sand will
be found. The company needs
few more shareholders to take the
places of those who became discour-
aged and have dropped out. There
is too much at stake for the well to
be stopped at this time. The depth
at the present time is not an oil test
and it is to be hoped that the loca-
tion will be tested to few hundred
feet deeper before it is condemned.

Serbian army grouped on the
Kossovo plains is the only op-
posing thin screen to the Aus

it is possible that the Serbians
may attempt a bold drive

been cleared, according to an
Athens dispatch.
The fate of Monastir is still
unknown, but it is apparent
that the Teutons are not ad-
vancing in Serbia as rapidly as
the first reports indicated.
Berlin revives the report
that Russian contemplates a
great campaign in the Balkans
and is now concentrating a
great army at Odessa. The Ger
mans also announce the fall of

Rome says the Italians have
