Instead of an attentiveness to the speakers' remarks, he remains with his head bowed, rubbing his eyes. The tour was running late and to take the podium in Aiken.

Sen. Strom Thurmond, R-S.C., and former governor James B. Edwards spoke quickly me iainny in America, praising women as the core of the "family unit." Connally scoffed at presidential candidate polls, saying, "If we listened to these polls, Reagan would drop out. Bush would drop out, I would, Baker would and we'd elect Carter by acclamation." He said telephone polls by his organization revealed that "we're clearly running second and maybe first in most of the states." Connally then answered ! questions on:* conservation; "We have to keep a 55 mile per hour speed limit." Inflation; "I lay odds that it will be more than 15 percent ai me ena oi mis year."

The former Texas governor blundered when discussing his advocation of nuclear power. Initially, he said there have been 1300 man-years without a nuclear accident. Then he changed the figure to 13,000 man-years. It was then exchanged for 13.000 manhours. Before he was through, Connallv reverted back to 13,000 man-years. When he finished, he was advised by Edwards that the figure was indeed 1300 man-years. After the speech, Connally joked with Edwards about their failure to announce the correct number. AS THE Bl'S continued on its trek to Orangeburg, media representatives and others conjectured on the results of Connally's last stop. "I think it was a general nailing to the wall," said a Washington Post reporter. "I think his problem is his ties to Lyndon Johnson. This is really the end of the road." It was about 6 p.m. when the bus pulled into the S.C. National Guard Armory in Orangeburg. A few people were gathered ontsidp a young boy skipped around with a "South Carolina loves Connally" sign in his hands, eager to see the candidate. Inside, the smallest crowd of the day, about 75 people, sat patiently in folding chairs until I FEBRUARY 30% ?o Suits, Sports Coats, Panti trcnn M X IK,-MAX P 718 Saluda Ave. HA FAC 3RIZED o is having a Yamaha factory components.

Thurmond told the audience that if Connally had been president, he felt certain there would be no American hostages in Iran and no Soviet invasion of Afghanistan. Connally made no speech in Aiken but fielded questions from the audience and press. However, he warned the crowd, "Hopefully my responses will please you, but don't reflect it by applauding." When asked his opinion of u-^r-; 4 n???-i-i i icsiucui v/di ici s ut'iL'nse appropriations. Connally was prepared. He said they were "totally inadequate," explaining what he saw as a constant threat from the Soviet Union. He told of the Russians building "the most massive war machine this world has ever seen." CONNALLY ANSWERED a question on the drafting of women with a firm opposition to something which is disruptive to ntry they greeted Cconnally with a standing ovation. Thurmond did not reflect the appearance of a long trip as he enthusiastically shouted. "The Soviets are trying to take over the world. The budget has not been balanced but once in 20 years.

Connally took the podium, and although his voice was still booming, the message was the same. The speech was done quickly and Connally was shaking hands, smiling. The Connally crew huddled into the night air and boarded the Greyhound. Beaufort, the next stop, was 80 miles away.
