FIVE CANDIDATES.
AFFIRM LOYALTY

Blease Alone Silent as to Vote for Cox.
All Candidates for Governor Answe er
Question on Confederate Pensions.
Walhalla, Aug. 21.-Canddates for
governor. at the state campaign meet
ing here today were given the oppor-
tunity to declare their allegiance to
the Democratic party when the ques-
ton, "In the general election of 1920
did you vote for Cox for president
and the Democratic ticket?" was ad-
dressed by ]. Fl. Brown, county chair
man, to each Of the candidates.
All, with the exception Of Cole L..
Blease, fastened to declare their
fealty to the party and to leave no
doubt in the minds Of the voters as
to the soundness Of their faith in the
tenets Of the party Mr.. Brown first
read the question to the audience and
then showed the question to the can
didates as they arrived at the audi
torium.
Whether this question was shown
by the chairman to Mr.. Blease the
correspondent can not Of his own
knowledge say. His information is
that 1t was.
Another question, "If elected COVER
nor, will you use your influence to
continue in force the pension act OF
1921 with an appropriation OF not less
than 600,0O0?" was also put to the
candidates for governor, and an af-
|firmative reply was given by all,
|IBlease included. Mr.. Cantey said his
father, Confederate veteran, was still
living and that any advocacy on his
|part for more money for pensions
might be construed as improper but
be thought the sentiment of the peo-
pie was favorable for this.
John T. Duncan was the first OF the
gubernatorial candidates to be heard,
AS to the question as to his vote for
Cox and the Democratic ticket he said,
81 am Democrat. a Woodrow Wilson
IlD'emocrat and voted the Democratic
ticket two years ago"

COUNTY CAMPAIGN
CLOSED YESTERDAY
candidates have not Varied Much from
Speeches Made at the First Meetings
and Reported Last Week.

After two weeks of oratory and
mand-shalaing, the county campaign
came to formal close last night with
the meeting at Watts Mills.
The largest meeting Of the campaign
was held in the court house in Lau-
rens yesterday, the court room being
filled to capacity throughout the day.
Among the listeners to the candidates
was large number of women. DOS
sibly half Of the crowd being feminine
listeners.
Thc speeches OF the candidates have
not varied materially from those made
during the first days of the campaign
ana reported at length in The Adver-
User last week. Messrs. Browning,
Gray, Huff and Nance have continued
their advocacy Of the rural police sys-
tenn, MI j. G. Mcdaniel being the only
Legislative candidate to come out In
oppositiop Supervisor Watts, run
ming for reelection, told his hearers
yesterday that had the legislature an
'proprialed sum as large as S15O,0O0
for roads he would not even then have
had sufficient funds to put the roads in
the shape that the people would like
to have them.
The race for superintendent Of edu-
cation is attracting more interest
probably than any other county race.
H'he two women, Mrs. Owens and Miss
Wofford, aad the two men, Messrs.
Johnson and Sullivan, have been max
ing stirring appeals for education,
their oratorical efforts, according to
reports, having caused considerable
change in the complexion Of this race.
predictions as to this race probably
vary more than on any other county
race.

was to prevent the blaze from spread
