With the result of the senatorial fight
definitely determined in the nomination
of Commander Truman II. Newberry as
Republican and Henry Ford as Demo-
cratic candidates, interest today in
Tuesdays primaries swung to the hot
fight being waged for the Democratic
gubernatorial nomination.
Incomplete returns on the Republic

out of eighty-three counties in the State
gave Newberry n plurality of 1901
over Henry Ford, who was a candidate
on both tickets. n Chase S. Osborn.
In the Democratic g~ubernatorial con-
test the slight lead held on early re-
turns by Edward F'rensdorf. of Hudson.
over John w. Bailey, of Battle Creek.

County (Detroit) vote began to come.
These returns, combined with incom-
plete figures from twenty-five other
counties, gave Bailey a majority of 1864.
The figures were: Bailey, $3.50; Frens-
dorf, 1856.
In the Democratic balloting for Senator
Ford won an easy race from his lone
opponent. James w. Helme.
Two of the six congressional contests
of the State are still in doubt, returns
from the First and Thirteenth tDe-
troit) districts being too meager to indi-
cate whether or not congressman Frank
L. Doremus and Charles A.. Nichols
have been renominated. In the Eighth
District partial returns show Congress-
man Joseph w. Fordney renominased
for the tenth consecutive time by a
majority m at $500,

Columbia. $. C.. Aug. eS.-Nat B. Dial,
of Laurens, has been nominated for the
long term in the United States Senate to
succeed Benjamin r. Tillman, defeating
both Cole L.. Blease, and James F. Rice
in the South Carolina Democratic pri-
mary today. Ed&ly today Mr.. Dial had
a majority of approximately 10000 over
both his opponents, a lead of nearly
$4,000 over Blease.
To fill the remainder of the unex-
pired term of Senator Tillman, there
will be a second primary, probably be-
tween w. p. Pollock of Cheraw, and
Thomas H. Peoples. of Barnwell. SEN
ator Christie Benet. who holds the seat
by appointment is running a close third
and may finish ahead of Peoples and
enter the second race with Pollock.
For Governor, Robert A. Cooper. of
Laurens. appears to have been nomi.
mated without the necessity of a second
primary.
Representative Byrnes, of the Second
District, and Representative Lever, of
the Seventh District, have been re.
nominated. Representative Nichols, OF
the Fourth District. will have to go into
a second primary with Horace l.
Bomar. Representative Dominick, of the
Third District, Is leading former Repre-
sentative Wyatt Aiken, but the result
Is yet in doubt.
