BLEASE TOLEARN
FATE ON TUESDAY
South Carolina Prepares to
Elect Senator and Governor
in Heated Races.
BY the Associated Press.


COLUMBIA, s. c., September g.
With the fate of Senator Cole L. Blease
at stake. South Carolina Democrats will
go to the voting booths Tuesday to
make nominations for the United States
Senate and for governor in a run-off
primary. Nomination is equivalent to
election.
Senator Blease, veteran of two score
years of more or less stormy political
battle, is again opposed by James F..
Byrnes of Spartanburg, formerly Rep
resentative who came within 1890 votes
OF winning the nomination six years
ago. The two survived the first pri-
mary Of August rs. in which q third
candidate, Leon w. Harris, Anderson
solicitor, was eliminated.
Survivors of eight original aspirants
for the governorship, two Spartanburg
attorneys, are fighting 1t out for the
nomination for the post of chief ex-
ecutive. Solicitor libra c. Blackwood,
who ran second four years ago, is OPP
posed by Olin johnson, youthful legis-
lator and World War Veteran making
his first bid for Statewide suffrage.
Since the first primary. the four
candidates have waged vigorous cam
paigns throughout the State. Senator
Blease, asking denomination on his
record, enlivened the last days with q
charge that money was being used
freely to defeat him. Byrnes has con-
fined his public addresses to farm relief
and allied economic topics, without ref
erence to his opponent.
In the gubernatorial race, Johnston
has made the main issue the question of
continuing the States $65 zoo, 900 high
way program launched this year. He
repeatedly has pledged himself not to
allow the issuance of any further bonds
without a popular vote, if he Is elected.
Blackwood has taken the position
that the validity of the bonds has been
approved by the highest courts of the
State and Nation and that 1t will not
be within the province of the governor
to halt the construction program. AL
ready $20000,000 in bonds have been
sold. Nominations for other State Of
fees were made in the first primary.

for the Republican nominations for 10
major ofilces and for Democratic
congressional nominations will be de-
cided by the voters of Michigan in the
Statewide primary next Tuesday The
Republican nomination In each race
is regarded as practically equivalent to
election.
The campaigns have been devoid OF
general issues, except In the race for
United States Senator, where Senator
James Couzens' opponent, Chase S.
Osborn, former governor, has dwelt
upon party regularity" and in few
congressional districts where the prohi-
bition question has been raised.
Couzens has accepted the brand of
independent and irregular" and neither
he nor Osborn has discussed the wet
dry issue.
Osborn was described by the Michi-
gan Anti-Saloon League as a "staunch
prohibitionist," but he was not Specfi-
cally Endorsed. Couzens' position is
that the prohibition amendment is q
a mistake, but that he will support en-
forcement so long as 1t is in effect.

nation for governor while a three
cornered one, has been, In effect, re-
newal of the ancient feud between Alex

clined the gubernatorial nomination of

ment from the Anti-Saloon League.

CANADA PERPLEXED
BY LIQUOR RUNNING
Problems of Vessels on Lakes Com
plicated by International
Law.
BY the Associated Press.


OTTAWA, September 6.-Solution of
perplexing difficulties presented by rum
running by Canadian vessels on the
Great Lakes Is being sought by officials
of the Department of National Revenue.
The problems, which arose with re-
cent enactment of a law forbidding
clearance of liquor cargoes for the
United States from Canadian ports, are
complicated by the sanction given in
international law to the breaking of
bulk cargoes in transit.
F.. Some officials advocate customs regu-
lations to prevent ships clearing a
liquor cargo from one Canadian port
to another from disposing Of their cargo
to rum runners in Canadian waters. 1t
was pointed out that this might be
considered an infringement of pro-
vincial laws respecting the sale of liquor
within a province.
The question of vessels clearing from
Miguelon, French island, for a United
States port on the Great Lakes and
disposing of liquor in United States wa
tiers is considered a matter for United
States authorities.
