Several of my friends have wondered
wh,\ it was I voted for him. If I had
told the people why I voted for him
before the election he would have been
governor of South Carolina today. I
am a very busy man. and as several of
my friends are insisting, or at least
wanting to know why it was that I
voted for him. just as' soon as this
