Columbia, May 4.-Lieutenant Gov
ernor Andrew j. Bcthea sees in Sena-
tor John l.. McLaurin'S announcement
for lieutenant governor an effort to
use the political pulmotor to vitalize
what tho lieutenant governor terms a
political corpse. He declares the state
ment Of the senator that the office of
Lieutenant governor is one (which no
grown man wants and live one
won't have" a confession Of the pet
rified state of the senator, speaking
politically, and does not think the
breath of political life can be pump
cd back into him.
The present occupant of the office
of lieutenant governor further an
allied the announcement of the sena-
tor to be an effort to further his own
senatorial ambitions and to put one
over" such possible opponents as
Congressman Lever. w. p. Pollock,
former Governor Bleasc and others
who are credited with having an eye
on the seat now filed by Senator Till
man by getting in the race one heat
ahead Of them. And the lieutenant
governor doesn't think it takes a
Solomon to figure this out.
He thinks also that the senator's
reference TO the office of lieutenant
governor shows lack Of apprccia-
ton of many men who have held
that office and helped to make illus
trious the history of the State and
says it is unworthy Of him.
Mr.. Bcthca says there Is ample
time before the campaign for him to
say whether or not he will run for
reelection but he is calling" Scna-
tor McLaurin and analiZing his an

announcement for lieutenant COVER

pie and not to me and he or any
other man who can comply with the
rules of the Democratic party has a

before the campaign opens for me
to give the public my views, whether

GIANT STRIKE A FAILURE, AS
WORKERS REFUSE TO QUIT

New York, Sept. 27.-The general
strike of labor unions in sympathy
with striking street car men was sup
posed to be effective today and a.tho
labor leaders claimed that some $4,000
workers had responded to the call.
there was little evidence that a strike
was in progress. Private canva-s
among the labor unions reported that
at least 90 unions HAD failed to re-
spond to strike calls this afternoon.
The only report received at the police
headquarters was that $50 members
of the painters union had refused to
report for work.
Leaders of all unions had set this
day for a general walkout in their
various trades.
