The most recent Newsweek poll shows Bush trailing frontrunner Reagan by only 6 percentage points, 33 percent to 27 percent. Dent is familiar with Connally and Bush because of past associations. Connally was Secretary of the Treasury during the period Dent served as special counsel to President Richard Nixon, from 1969 to 1972. Bush was chairman of the Republican National Committee when Dent was general counsel to the committee from 1973 to 1974. 7 think he (Bush) has tht Republican to become the i Dent has a long history of political involvement in the state, as well as nationwide, including serving as chairman of the state Republican Party and being a delegate to the Republican National Convention in 1968 and 1976. The Columbia lawyer spent 10 years, from 1965 to 1975, as the chief assistant to U.S. Sen. Strom Thurmond. Bush's candidacy was viewed unrealistic at first by Dent because Bush was an unknown. But the other two Republican contenders Dent mentioned had unrealistic factors in their campaigns also. Dent said that Connally's candidacy was unrealistic because of the negative reactions among voters and Reagan's was unrealistic because of his age. The frienrishinx Dent had with both Connallv and Bush had no bearing with his decision to help Bush's efforts, he said. "I don't do things in politics based on friendship. I'm a real t, :&d I do what I honestly believe in my heart is right. I don't believe you can run things based on 'You scratch my back and I'll scratch yours,' "he said. SINCE THE IOWA caucus, Dent said in the state of South Carolina Bush "has gone from being a blip on a radar screen to a real contender. Reagan has dropped some and Connally has dropped more." ... The Republican primary in South Garolwa. .will Harry Dent, chairman of Republican can says his candidate does not have to win in S.C. primary By Teresa K. Weaver Gamtcock Staff Writer A strong showing in the S.C. March a primary is going to make or break the leading Republican presidential candidates, said former White House aide Harry Dent, now serving as chairman of the ,imi tuiiiiiiuict' IUI ut'ui gi: DUMI. "This state is going to be the testing ground for the entire South. That's why Reagan absolutely cannot afford to lose it and Connally has made it his own personal battleground," Dent said. Referring to Bush, Connally and Reagan as the only "realistic" candidates for the presidential nomination, Dent said that the Bush organization is the only camp that doesn't have to win to survive in the polls.

Adding that the Connallv workers are "fairly pragmatic," Dent said he l^elieves hat their campaining would be discontinued if the candidate should lose in the first southern primary.

"It's going to come down to a Reagan-Bush battle." he predicted. "The Republican party is going to be faced with choosing the new phenomenon or the old man." He said the South has traditionally been considered first as Reagan territory and secondly as Connally territory. "If they (Reagan and Connally > lose, in my opinion the nomination race is over for all intents and purposes. I project that people are going to know who the nominee is by the Illinois primary which is the week following the South Carolian primary. But South Carolina is going to tell you an awful lot right here." Dent said. The South Carolina Bush campaign is a late-starter and a limited one in terms of money and manpower. Dent estimated that the campaign would spend between $100,000 and $200,000 in the state, most of it going to the media. The greatest thing going for the Bush campaign in the state right now, Dent said, is mnmpntum r?ir*lr*?H i n cin/>o thn Irtuia OUR HEAL SECRET weapon is going to be young ? best chance of any text president.'

Dent added that Bush forces were planning a "big event to be held on the USC camDus before the Drimarv. I" National campaign representatives for the Bush organization have been quoted as saying that they would be pleased with a strong third-place showing behind Reagan and Connally in the S.C. primary, but Dent said his aim is to win. "I've never gotten in anything I didn't want to win," Dent said. "I feel good about this campaign and I think we can surprise folks on March 8."

It isn't going to be easy to bedt an incumbent Democrat; it's never easy to beat any Democrat. But Jimmy Carter's domestic affairs are going to be in very bad shape and nobody knows where foreign affairs will be. So the Republican nomination is going to be worth v something this time,'vDentsaid. * Former s choc nrn By Teresa K.
