didatrs for the GoyernorShip.
An interesting political story to the
effect that Solicitor Robert \. Cooper
will be one of several candidates in
the race for Governor this summer
was sent out from Columbia several
days ago. 1t Is stated that Hon. w. A.
Stuckcy, Of Bishopville, is seriously
considering making the race and that
Mr.. Cooper is almost sure to run since
former Gov. Blease has announced.
In part the story follows:
That he will positively announce
within the near future whether or
not he will be in the race for COVER
nor and opposing those planks in the
platform Of Mr.. Cole L. Blease which
rates on railroads to two cents and
reducing the rates Of interest was
stated this morning by the Hon. w. A.
Stuckey over the long distance
telephone from his home at Bishop
vile. At the same time Mr.. Stuckey
cmphatically and positively denied
the rumor that he would run for
Lieutenant Governor on ticket with
Mr.. Bleasc.
Under no circumstances will
take second place on any mans
ticket" said Mr.. Stuckcy and added
that his announcement some months
ago that he would not run for Lieu
tenant governor stands. He declared
in unmistakable language that he
will not be the tail of any mans kite.
DiSagrccing with two Of the lead
ing planks in the platform Of Mr..
BlcaSc was expressed by Mr.. Stuckcy.
He said he and the farmers favored
legitimate corporations and were op
posed to reducing the passenger rates
from two and one half cents to two
cents per mile and that they also OPP
posed reducing interest rates. "Wc
arc i'm favor Of constructive lcgiSla-
ton for the farmers said Mr. Stuckcy
Mr. BlcaSc in his announcement for
governor favored reducing passenger
rates to two cents and the reduction
Of the legal rate OF interest to six per
cent
The fact that such strong leaders
Of the former Blcasc faction as Mr..
Stuckcy of Bishopvillc and Mayor
Olin Sawyer of Georgetown are being
brought forward for governor indi-
cate unrest and dissatisfaction among
the faction In fact it is an open Sc
cret that several Of the leaders feel
that they are deserving Of consdera-
ton.
The positive announcement of form
or Governor Blease, that he Is in the
race for governor apparently settles
the question OF what Solicitor r. a.
Cooper Of Laurens will do. Those who
have watched the situation are GER
tain that Mr. Cooper will now run for
governor and while he has consistent
iy declined 10 talk for publication !;
Is felt here that he will now announce.
The interview Of Mr.. Cooper last sum
mer that he would run for governor
IF certain conditions arise" are taken
to mean that If Mr.. Blease entered for
governor he would too. The entrance
Of the former governor Is now certain
and everyone believes that 1t is just
as certain that Solicitor Cooper Will
be In the race. Announcement from
him Is awaited with much interest.

The note at tho outset reterates the
previous pledges, which were given
on September ! and October Of last
year. for the safety Of unrcsisting lin
ers and then goes on to say the Ger
man government does not believe
those assurances have been modified
by the new memorandum.
During the negotiations over the
Lusitania, it says, no mention was
made of armed merchantmen, and
that the United States in one or its
notes on the Lusitania mentioned "un

Attention then is called to the as
Suranccs prcviosuly given in which it
was stated that liners will not be sunk
without warning, providing they do
not offer resistance. Attention also is
called to the statement Of the Amcri-
