Offices: Laurens, Greenwood and McCormick Phone No. 120 FtoM WASIIING'ON END Says his lIesignation was not Due to Pressure being lrought to Hear frim Washington. The cnrtance of David 1. Traxler into the Fourth District congressional race means that there is going to be some hustling done for that Job this summer. Mr. Traxler is a hustler and doer and heretofore he has generally gotten what he has gone after. When a man gives up a $3,000 sinecure to try for something else it may be depended on that that man is going to leave no stone uinturined to win. .lr. Traxler has indicated that his race will be run on his record as a cit izen and as a publiv-servant. As a cit izen he will be able to show that he has taken a leading part in various movements for the moral, educational and material advancement of his home city and that he has been identified with those political elements which have stood for law and order in South Carolina. Ir. Traxler, if we know him rightly, has an enviable record for sobriety and clean living, being an ac tive worker in the church. As a pub lic servant, he will doubtless stand on his record as a postmaster in Green ville. Mr. Traxleris iaiterest in polities comes to him naturally. ills grandfa ther was a state senator and legisla tor, his father a commissioner, one uncle was a senator, legislator and member of the constitutional conven tion, while another uncle was the la mented Charles A. Smith, lieutenant governor and for a short time governor lie was the manager of Charles A. Smith's campaign in 1914 and there got considerable experience in cam paigning. We have no doubts but that Mr. Traxler will force the issues that in fluence our state polities and if Ie does the other candidates will have to speak out clearly. By stating his po sition first Mr. Traxler has placed his chief opponent, Mr. Nicholls, on the -defensive and it will now be interest ing to watch the outcome.
