MARTIN VjILL RUN FOR SENATE States His Platform-Hot Stuff Strikes at Senator Latimer and Gov. Ansel. -News and. Courier. Colunbia. November 11.-The race for the seat in the United States Senate. now oceupied by the Hon. Asbury C. Latimer. will ro.t be with out interes.t. S: iat e s'uperinitendent of Ediation Martin will be a candidate. Mr. Martin made the announcement to day in a characteristic statement. full of ginger. .nd he will make the same s< rt tf empaigni. lie starts in viih a i1ld ai:it-k ci Senatir Laii mer. a z :n he .,u 0 1:'me pmld:4 rt a eba!!ene to Gov. AnlseI wlo is gIenerally Illderstm d to be a probable andIdate for the same office. Mr. Mat t 's an'noltu:n-emen1a. as giveln to tih press today. is as fol lows: Years ago. in making up an old field s-hocl, it was customary -to ask ',e ' anton. '-x imany scholars inum-ber of pupils even to fractions. I am ready now to subscribe one full scholar' in the race for the United States Senate duriing the coming oampaign. havinr reached such a dee~icion. after carefi cnsideratin .and adic.

"It is clear to me tbaLt I could be . -of rvi-ce in the senate. Mv ex -perience as a school officer can be turned to good account. There are -several bills pending in congress now lookin<, to the aid and eneoura(V ement of anriculfural. n ,ormal and in .duial educatIion. Ihave a spea ing aequaintCane with every state -school sv--tem i:! the 1United SI ats. I also' know~ se4ce e -arj:"na! leaders and prmt-(tars in all p its o ou couitry. This knowledgIe c(uld eaz ilv -b)e extended to countries' abroad. If would be a pleasure to' place my * services at the disposal of school of fieers to assist in the further develop ment of our school-s. [ do not like to make campaign pr-omises, but I he .lieve that I could do so muc'h work ~in this line alone, that it certainly -would not be diecessary for the people --in our neighboring states to ask 'Who is the other senator from South Car ;olina?' Furthermore I have been a istudent of governments and govern :mental affairs since I was old enough -to read the county papers. I .am not -unmindful of South Carolina's great part in the history of our country. "Nearly sixteen years ago, when I had but recently passed my majority. *I attended-a political pow-wow in my home county of Pickens. and heard our pr-esent junior senator mak-e some p romnises in his first r-ace for congress. H~ *.:as elec-ted. For- neairly half a generatio I have been watching 1his reed rd. I believe the P'-opl a:e aat:-ti pepa red to wriite. at lea:st under the Sena torial part thereof, * 'ene. mene. tekel. uphars2n.' He seen:s diAposed to. h ase his present -eampa.ign upon futures. T'he people -prefer spots. He annonees a plat form opposed to injurious immigra i'on. All po:ssible and probable can didates have been, are now. and will hereafter be opposed to the same thing. It is not enough to have a merely negative platform. I have n1ought all along that if the frugal a nd thirfty farmers and laborers of Mfinnesota, Wisconsin,. Michigan and the Dakotbas knew t-hat they could se cure land as rich as the praiis for -ons-fourth of what they could get for their own l:w'd that they would comne here instead of going to Canada. Many of these people came fro-m Norther-n Europe less than tell years ag~o. They know our langzuage and customs. If we had secured five hun .dr-ed of thlese people they would make a drawing nucleus for,the best Euro :ea-n immfligration. They would also make five h'ndr-ed first-class interpre -ers. I do not see how immigrants ea h handled without numerous mn Twrpreteris. I believe the Honmewood colony in Horr.y county an~d the Lake Charles set tlement in Louisiana point the way to the ultimate solution of -the immigrationl pr-oblem. But the -question to he settled in the senator ial campaigtn is whether the present junior senator will give up his bi furcated residence in Mexico and Washington and immigrate to his vast estates in the grand old county of As derson. "Another campaign slogan, which is still in the pron:issory state, is 'good 1oads,' but :.he auflior senator alo-.3 tiavelled 'h good ioad, p. t., . I v ill11 : 1;1 ;1,. d . I milK es'. ot m.2le :i! :. Ano ther futuritv is 'drainage but the ques..i-a naturahy ariseS whether it is drainage of t. ; swam-ps or dral-age of the treasury. "Of oourse, I am aware that t'ae present governor has manifested synptoms of senlatorial aspirationa. I do not know whetre lie will run or not, but it then I shall have better oppor tunity to pr( -. cogent reasoning, face to face, than I had when he was coIIsiderintg appointments vital to the department of education. Having injected politics into the educational deiartlenit. 1he- ourirt not to be sur LisIed to met the head of that de i poliies. if he decides to eiler tile race Iifr dhe Inited States senaie I shall meet him at Phillipi.' Mr. Martin is evidently prepared 0% consider t recor.d of Senator La t.ia1er when they meet oin the stump. Ile will take iie position that the senator is fighting a man of straw in Is in)migration pronouncements, and he hint.s of sthin2 iteresting ill regzard to c!pper and Mexico. Mr. 1hartin's challenge to Gover nor Ansel to meet him in the race for the senate also shows his deter-mina tion to force the fighting from the start. Wh 'M 31r. M,arin annouMCed sev cral weeks aNo that he would not b2 he it I'Io verlor A1n -el for a seceond term. It appears, however. that Mr. Martin expects to oppose the governor as a candi date for the senate. Mr. Martin was elected superin tendent of education in 1902, and has pot since that time had opposition for the office, being re-elected in 1904 and 1906. Previous to his election as tate superintendent, he was engaged in teaching having been principal of one1 (f the Greenville Lraded schools. He is a :raduate of F-uran Univer i:. native c-1ntv is tlie county of Piekeni. which is wedzed in ba t 2 .e:: tndes 11. I , h mre .11ij oL l- und i'mn an (reenvilie. the home cuntLies of Ansel. If these three are in the senatorial race to geth:er. it will be a fhtorthe heavy Piedmont vote. Mr. Martin will not allow the fiz'ht to be dull since he is ,n excellent stump speaker, has a large aequaintance ana is a good or ganizer. Mr. Martin 's announcement is not the first formal annou:ncemaent of a candidacy for the seat occupied by Senator Latimer. and curiously enough the other previously announc ed .eandidate is also an educator Col. John J. Dargan, of iStateburg. It should be a campaign of education with thlese two geatlemen to enlight en the voters as to the past glories and the future prospects of South Carolina. Besides Senator La timer, Messrs. Dargan and Martin are the on!v- formally announced candidate:. irit i s understcodt.hilat the Hion. D. S. Hlenderson. of Aiken, and Col. 0O Ir2e John1stoneQ. of Newberry, in tend to ru.n. The name of Mr. C. C. irs. of Barn~well, has also been put fo,.yard as a po?ssible candidate and there may be others. .There are already tw~o oandidates anonnKeed for the offiee of st-ate su perintendent' of education. The first ti annorfee was Mr. E. C. E!more, county sup)erin tendent of education of Spartanburg conmnty. Mr. Elmore is .said to be an excellent official, is an experienced campaigner and has a large connection, not only in Spar taiiburg. but in Richland and Char leston. 'The other announced candid.ite is Prof. S. R. Mellichamp, c.ounty super intendent of education of Orangeburg county. Prof. Mellichamp is one of the best known edueators in the state, and is a genutleman of tihe high esi character and attainments. He is a graduate of the College of Charles ton and was a Confederate soldier. THe taughlt in Orangeburg for several e:s after the war, and was at one timP principal of the preparatory de part ment of Furmaa University, were he made lasting friends of the boys who ear::e under his instruction. Retiring from that position after eht years he returned to Orange hurg. and was soon afterwards elect ed county superintendent. St rong pressure is being brought to bear to induce Prof. W. H. Hand tM enter the race~ for state superint?nd et. Mr. Hand is now a membler of the faculty of the Ujniverslty of South Carolina and for him to be conie superintendent of ediucatiou, ev en without any campaign expenses, would be a financial si Fhe, but -omelC of :ns friends areo ar.ing him~ to ma:e t.he crifice for the cause of (e(nieation. His xvoik in *he establish mnit of high schools dueng the last year has been s.igna.lly successful and bneficil. Beoare rnir.o the Uni. Velr,y he was f4r s2evealI years su perin tendent of the g-aded schools at Chester, where he madc a splendid rLcord. It is reported that Prof. N. M. Sallcy, now superintendent of the sehools at Greenwood, and formerly at Laurens and Bamberg, may be a candidate. He is one of the most prmising young schoo'l men in the state. a graduate of Wofford aAd a former student at the Citadel. County Superintendent A. H. Gas que, of Florence, is also spoken of as a candidate. Mr. Gasque is also a; very progressive yonv man and is a araluate ofl the S'outh iia r ilina ( l l eI we. Boter ossbilty s Pof.E. S.
