MAYOR R. Q. REETT ANNOUNCED FOR SENATE Charleston's Executive Makes Formal j Statement of His Candidacy?Solicits Support of Democratic Voters ?His Decision Something of a Surprise. Charleston, June 10.?Mayor Rhett announced his candidacy tonight for United States senator and will file his pledge tomorrow. Following a conference at his office at the People's National bank he gave out the following statement: "To the Democratic "Voters of South Carolina: I have determined to be a candidate for United States senator at the approaching primary election. I shall tomorrow file my pledge with the State Democratic committee as required by the rules of the party and will abide by the rules of the primary election. 1 respectfully solicit the support of Democratic voters of the State. R. Goodwin Rhett." The announcement of the candidacy of Mayor Rhett will be in the nature of a surprise to the voters of the State, as his name has not heretofore been mentioned in connection with the office. He and ex-Gov. Hevward have been close business and personal friends for years and with the decision of the latter to forego making the race on account of his health, Mayor Rhett decided to enter the race. . Further than the statement given above Mayor Rhett said tonight that he had nothing to say but that in the next few days he will probably make a statement. Mayor Rhett is one of the best known and regarded men in the State and it is admitted that his candidacy is a strong one. He is one of the mo9t successful business men in Charleston, having large financial interests but these have not interfered ^with a close study of public questions and on these matters he is particularly well qualified to discuss and make the race for the office that he seeks. He was a delegate at large to the Democratic national convention four years ago.
