GOP Plans Voter Drive
8—THE CHRONICLE, Clinton, S. C., August 7, 1969
Laurens County Republicans
will concentrate on registration
and a better voter turnout in an
effort to elect more GOP candi
dates in the 1970 elections, Coun
ty Chairman William (Dub)
Garrett said today.
Only 15,540 of 26,593 eligible
adults are registered in the coun
ty, Garrett said and only 77.9
per cent of those voted in the
1968 general election.
“When you realize that only
63.5 per cent of the white people
and 43.5 per cent of the Negroes
are registered and only 45.5
per cent of those otherwise eli
gible actually voted in 1968, "Gar
rett said, “then you can see the
job we have ahead of us."
The county chairman said fig
ures released today by state
GOP headquarters rank Laurens
40th among the state’s 46 coun
ties in voter performance--the
percentage of eligible persons
who voted in 1968.
“Republican candidates got 39
per cent of the total vote last
year,” Garrett said. “While we
must improve on that percentage,
we must also improve our voter

congressional candidates nexf
year.”
The county chairman said sev
eral outstanding men have beer
mentioned as gubernatorial can
didates, includingSecond District
Congressman Albert Watson,
former State Rep. Arthur Ravenel
of Charleston, and former State
GOP Chairman J. Drake Edens
Jr. of Columbia.
Mentioned for candidates for
lieutenant governor are State
Rep. Mac V. Patterson of Green
ville, Greenwood Mayor John
Nave and former State Rep. Ed
Young of Florence. He said
Young, a farmer and television
personality, has also been men
tioned as a candidate for com
missioner of agriculture of the
Sixth District congressional seat.
“Several other qualified South
Carolinians have their eyes on
the Republican ticket,” the coun
ty chairman said, “and with more
than a year to go before next
November 's election, I am sure
there will be others."
He said the figures released
by State Chairman Ray Harris in
dicate only 53.7 per cent ofSouth
Carolina’s adult population was
registered last Oct. 5 and only
78.2 per cent of those cast ballots.
“It is really surprising that
only 52.6 per cent of adult South
Carolinians voted in such an im
portant election,” he said. It is
bad enough to realize that more
than 230,000 otherwise eligible
people aren’t registered, buteven
worse that more than 600,000 who
were registered or could have
been registered failed to ex
ercise their right to vote.”
One of the hardest ex
ercises to perform is to
keep the jaw muscles in the
closed position.
