Democratic primary

The South Carolina Democratic Party held their primary in the summer of 1901. Five candidates entered the race and among those who sought the seat was future longtime U.S. Senator, Ellison D. Smith. Asbury Francis Lever emerged atop the first primary election and won the runoff election against Thomas F. Brantley, a candidate in the 1898 election. There was no opposition to the Democratic candidate in the general election so Lever was elected to serve out the remainder of the term.
