> The race for the governorship
.of South Carolina this year emphasizes
the fact that in this
Sta>e men of oustanding ability
cbme to the front slowly in seek
friends in deciding to become a
candidate lor public oflice is
worth less than its face value.
JUr^jMost men run for public otliee on
their own motion?they do not
wait to be urged to do so. They
seek oflice for the financial gain
there is in it or for the better _
standing tliey imagine it will
giye them among their fellow citizens.
But it is a fact, attribute
it to what one may, that for the
governorship in' this State men
new to political life are not looked
upon with favor. It seems .to
be a condition precedent to success
that the-candidate must have
been a more or less regular oflice
seeker for years. Elect a man
governor of South Carolina who
, has not gone around for years

Legion Auxiliary Organized.
. Organization of a woman's
auxiliary of Eli Bailes post, No.
y- 48, American Legion, of Fort Mill
was perfected last Friday after>
noon at<a meeting in the Legion
club rooms. at whichthe following
officers were/elected: President,
'Mrs. Elizabeth M. Belle;. vice
president, Mrs. T. B. Sprat t; secretary,
Mrs. W. L. Boyd; treasurer,
Mies Nora Hamilton. Another
meeting of the auxiliary is
' to M held ibis afternoon and the
officers request that all who wish
to join be present
iitg the more important political
offices. The county to county
campaign will open wilhiu the
next .fortnight and thus far there
is little competition for any of
the offices* except the governorship,
and -that, in the mail), by
men who have - been candidates,
for public office so often in the
last 15 or 20 years that one cannot
recall offhand the score of
their numerous races. Of course
there is a reason why so little
new blood is injected into State
politics. There are many men in
South Carolina whose names are
never mentioned in connection
with Stute offices who would
muke excellent officials. A big
percentage of these men have 110
stomach Tor politics because it is
a rough and tumble game as we
play it in this State and it is not
easy for even those who are successful
at it to get by without
losing more than they gain.
. Other well equipped men refrain
from seeking public office because
the financial rewards are 1
w suiull and they .will not make the
sacrifice that would be involved
in giving up their private busiin
ss to serve the people. Still another
class of men who would
make acceptable public ollicials
never enter polities because of
inherent timidity?neithrt* their
friends nor their neighbors urge
them to run for oflice, und they
therefore conclude that failure
awaits them should they try it.
They have not learned that most
of the \h\k one hears about this
man or that man reluctantly uc
