Capitol News Bureau
COLUMBIA, - South Carolina
appears ready to meet its destiny
both at home and nationally this
year as the hard facts of life
bear down on it.
At home the state faces the
highly difficult question of per
haps violating its long-standing
commitment to a balanced budget.
Nationally, it faces the possi
bility of one more avoiding the
mainsteam ol national direction
in politics.
Both questions have more
possibly vital results than show-
on the surface.
Gov. Robert E. McNair has
sworn to stand by the concept
of a balanced budget--we shall
spend no more than we have.
On the national political scene,
both major state parties live with
the quandary that neither might
be able to deliver the state’s
eight electoral votes to Demo
crats or Republicans. George
C. Wallace, they fear, may be
so powerful a factor in the Pal
metto State that national Demo
crats and Republicans may only
shake their heads and dismiss
making any real efforts beyond
those the state parties are com
mitted to try.
Despite its relatively low
standing in many national ratings
--per capita income, health and
state develop at least the be
ginnings of a two-party system,
even three.
so on—South Carolina has in the
past decade managed a new
image, that of a progressive
Southern state that is moving
from agriculture to industry in
an orderly way.

Its high rating on Wall Street
as a state that can be trusted
to pay its bills and spend no
more than it has in hand is ex
cellent compared with the ragged,
deficit-hit governments of many
richer states.
And while eight electoral votes
are not enough to make most
candidates for President highly
excited aboutSouthCarolina, they
would ordinarily take it serious
ly, if given a chance.
Many national politicians see
South Carolina as a state that,
they like to say, throws away
its votes, or has for many years.
Though it be a legal form of pro
test, they consider it a sort of
political suicide.
By voting for persons who can
not win, the national politician
feels the state is often just ex
ercising its feelings like an
errant child-sort of holding its
breath to see if its parents won’t
get upset.
However, they have seen the

resorting to the old dodge of
leaving the mainsteam in a pre
sidential election year to register
a protest vote that might leave

ing less than persuasive.
Whether the State Legislature
and Gov. McNair can avoid a
deficit, whether the parties can
settle on candidates and go to
work, and whether the race pro
blem can be made less, is a
matter of great concern.
Some persons in the national
picture may be able to dismiss
South Carolina with a shrug, but
South Carolina has no such
choice.
