Leatherman
wants state
to operate
efficiently
By MARY JO MILLER
Staff writer
Sen. Hugh Leatherman, the
first Democrat to officially
declare his bid for governor, says
he wants to run the state the same
way his concrete products
business is run ? efficiently and
with strict accountability.
"I'm the only candidate who
combines a business background
with experience in politics, and I
think that makes me the most
qualified," Leathermen said.
Leatherman, a second-term
state senator from Florence
County, would like to bring his
business principles of efficiency
and accountability to tackle a
number of state issues.
The challenge of creating jobs
must be addressed for South
Carolinians, combating crimc
and meeting the elderly's health
care needs, he said.
Leatherman's interest in health
care for the elderly was sparked,
in part, by his work investigating

South Carolinians will see
many opportunities surface in the
next several years, and the next
governor shouldn't be intimidated
by them, according to
Democratic gubernatorial candidate
Phil Lader.
The next governor should
cultivate these opportunities to
help all citizens, Lader said.
"I look to a state still
characterized by tradition and
manners where there exists
greater employment and cultural
opportunities in a relatively
unspoiled environment," Lader
said during a telephone interview.
Lader, the 39-year-old president
of NVinthrop College, said
that he hopes to guide the state in
this direction if elected.

Campaign
unwise, Ef
By BOB KUDELKA
Staff writer
Too much money is spent on
campaigns that could be put
lowara omer projects, according
to Frank Eppes, a Democratic
candidate for governor.
Other candidates' campaigns
contain "Madison Avenue spending,"
Eppes said in an
interview.
Instead of spending so much
on campaigns, the money could
go to something useful, such as
buying kidney machines for
hospitals, he said.
Eppes said he is trying not to
spend more than he would make
as governor, which is $80,000.
Eppes said he has been traveling
through the state trying to
make his campaign a personal
one. "I've been in all the coun
lies, auu i ve seen inings tnat
need to be done," he said.

in trouble are dropouts from the a
seventh to ninth grades," he said,
adding he would work to keep
people in school, which would
tackle the root of the crime
problem.
Eppes, a USC graduate, said
he is familiar with the university.
"I'm a supporter of the university
system as well as other institutions
of higher education in the
state," he said.
Asked about the increased
drinking age, Eppes said, "If
they're old enough to enter the
(military) service, it's hard to
stop them from drinking." }
Eppes said the possibility of ^ i
losing federal highway funds
forced the age increase.
Eppes said he has more ex
perience than his opponents.
