JOHNSTON ANO ARISTOCRATS If Governor Johnston were better acquainted with aristocrats?the real thing, not the spurious Imitation thereof?this paragraph would have been omitted from his opening address to the special session of the South Carolina legislature, which '"jsavored more of a stump speech than a state paper: "Of course, my election as governor did not meet with the approval of the blue-bloods and aristocrats of this state to whom I was obnoxious simply because I had come from poor but honorable parentage and had by earnest and conscientious effort been elevated from a cotton mill hand to governor of this great state of South Carolina." ^ Those who are sure of their own ^position in soctety never boast of it and are the last to hold it against another man that he has not been so fortunately placed. As a matter of fact, had not the aristocrats rallied to the support of Johnston in the seci t i i i i i ond primary last year, he would have been defeated. Several of the dalles of the state are controlled or edited by men who have more or less claim to ranking as aristocrats and they drummed up support for Johnson between the primaries and, therefore, have been disposed most kindly to his administration. If he has lost their support, he has only himself to thank for it, as they naturally wanted him to sucoeed so that they could Justify their support of him in the second primary. It might profit the governor to take a little time off and delve into psychology. It might teach him how to wrestle with his very evident "inferiority complex," which will handicap him until he conquers it. As a starter in that study, he might consider what is the heart of the code of true aristocrats, to wit: "One man la as good as another until and except he thinks himself better."?Greenville Observer.
