Ht ZZING OF Tlffi HICK
Political |>Q|M> us Soon Kroni I lie
Slate's Political ('outer.
it's a long way to the political Tip
perttry, writes a Columbia correspond
eiit, Uui there's always talk of who'll
bo -put in tln? arena next year. So
far no hat has boon definitely thrown
Into tin- ring, bur It is likely that
politics will warm up in 111--. There's
talk ulrc&dy.
Tho race of chief Interest next year
will bo that for governor. Already
thc.iifopl.it *>f th? stutouro talking
about candidate* fur that office, and
li Xjss said thai a ring full of hats are
lad uk shlnod up for tho campaign.
Several fonnor politicians have booji
mentioned either by thoinsolves, or
l>\ others, as possible candidates for
(lie m'ii l of the chief executive, among
thetn Forpier l-iefflf' < Jovorpor lfcth.ua,
Former Attorney Genera) Peoples, and
Former Governor Illoose. . l.iouteuant
Governor Wlfson C. Harvey, of Char
leston is being discussed as a pussi
ile aspirant.. State Senator J. II.
Marlon, of Chester, considered one of
tin* ablest men in public life In tho
stale, has been mentioned publicly as
a possible candidate. Col Holmes It.
Springs of Greenville. formerly of
Georgetown js also one of the lead
ing men mentioned lu connection with
the rn?'c for governor next year, and
Major Henry C. Tillman, of Green
wood, has also been talked of. Still
another man who is t bought to he as
piring lo.lhe raee and to the office
of governor is State Senator George
C. 1 -aney, of Chesterfield. -There will
also possibly bo others, but t/iose are
tho men whoso names have gained tile
greatest amount of notice In connec
tion with the office to be vacated by
Governor Cooper at the end of J022.
Former Judge Mvndel I-. Smith, of
Camden has also boon mentioned in
connection with this office, but Judge
Smith stated in Columbia recently
that he was not thinking of running
for governor ; he said he prefers to
>r act ice law.
There will probably be souje other
interesting races. Whether Governor
Cooper intends to run for some higher
office is a matter of soAie conjecture
Inn a matter on which the present
chief executive has ni l intalnoJ slleiieo.
Senator Wight man. of Saludft, fam
ed for his nil hic^s attacks on state
expenditures, Is also allowing himself
to he mentioned in conned ion with
polities, though lie has made uo def
inite announcements. His Speeches
hiring tho J!?LM General Assembly led
to the belief that he hud the political
bee in bis bonnet.
