LITTLE POLITICAL J
& . TALK CIRCULATING
' Special to News and Courier.
Columbia, Jan. 19.?Usually
wheh the General Assembbly
meets in the year the primaries are
held, there is much talk of political
nature and maneuvering for position
but this session is an exception.
However, ^the Legislature is young
yet and there is plenty of time for
the politica lbees to begin buzzing in
the lobbies and around the committee
rooms. '
Thp onlv direct recent political an
nouncement is the statement of Col.
A. H. Marchent, of Orangeburg, that
he will offer for Adjutant General.
W. W. Moore, of Barnwell, the incumbent,
said this morning that he
would be in the race for reelection
on his record for upbuilding of the
National Guard.
There has beeR no talk that Governor
Cooper will be opposed, and it
is more than probable that he will
go into the primary without a contender.
It is a safe bet that no matter
who offers, if anyone does, he
will be given a second term. He has
made a sane, conservative executive
has not indulged in spurts of radicalism
and is intensely popular with
all classes. Many of his friends com
. plain that he does not get in the
limelight enough.
For Lieutenant Governor.
The only opposition which has developed
toward the reelection of
Junius T. Liles, as Lieutenant Gov?
ernor, who, if he runs, as it is understood
that he will, is Octavious
y.. Cohen, an attorney of Charleston
and Monck's Corner, who made a remarkable
race for the position in
1918, without attending but two of
the campaign, meetings. There is
some talk of Solicitor George Warren,
of Hampton, entering the race,
but Mr. Warren has made no announcement
one way or the other
yet.
No opposition has been announced
or hinted at against Samuel M.
Wolfe, Attorney General; S. T. Carter,
State Treasurer; Rut L. Osborne
Comptroller General; W. Banks
Dove, Secretary of State; John E.
Swearingen, State Sperintendent of
Education, and B. Harris, Commissioner
of Agriculture Commerce and
Industries, nor have these officials
stated whether they will offer again,
but it is more than likely that they
will.
For railroad commissioner it is almost
certain that Frank W. Shealy,
of Lexington, chairman will offer
for reelection and it is almost certain
that, hp will be ODDOsed bv D. L. |
Smith, of Colleton, although nei-j
ther man has announced his intentions.
Other possible candidates have
keen spoken of for this position.
In the formum of national politics,
an effort is being made to get out
opposition to Senator E. D. Smith,
of Lynchburg, who will offer for reelection.
Senator Smith has made a
good many active enemies in South
Carolina and they want someone to;
oppose him. Ex-Senator Pollock, of i
Cheraw, is the most probable opponent
which Senator Smith will
have to contend with, and it is understood
that the Chesterfield County
politician will make known what
he is going to do within the next two
months. Col. William Banks, of
Columbia, has been approached to

For Seats in Congress.
No opposition has been announce
against R. S. Whaley, of Charlesto
Representative from the First dii
trict^ut there are many men in h
district who would be glad to see hi]
go down in defeat ,and the majorit
of these are members of what :
known as the "Grace faction" in tl:
, City of Charleston.
i In the Second district, James 1
Byrnes, of Aiken, so far is withoi
opposition for reelection, but as 1;
jhad three opponents in 1918
would not be improbable should h
find his candidacy contested.
' Fred H. Dominick, of Newbenn
undoubtly will not be reelected t
'Congress from the Third distrii
j without a contest, although there :
.none announced at this time. It
I understood, however, the mo:
'prominent oppontent mentione
against Mr. Dominick is Capt. Henr
C. Tillman, of Greenwood.
S. T. Nicholls, of Spartanburj
Representative from the Fourth di:
trict, has announced that he will nc
offer for reelection. Capt. J. J. M<
Swain and D. R. Traxler, both c
Greenville, will be in the race to su<
ceed Mr. Nicholls and probabl
Horace Bomar, an attorney of Spai
tanburg.
In the Fifth district, no oppositio
has so far developed to W. S. Stever
son, of Cheraw, but it is known tha
several gentlemen are most anxiou
to succeed him.
-In Sixth District.
In the Sixth district, P. H. Stoll, c

in its record of an American killing ; !;
Mexicans. Ward said he shot three of ;?!;
them and got back to the United jjt
States without being captured. He jjl

he was visited by soldiers. They tried
