My Dear Friend: It has never been my practice to suggest to other people considera tion of any candidate for political office because I think this is a mat ter that every citizen should decide for himself. However, so many friends who had suggested that I enter the race for Governor have asked me whom I am supporting that I feel it is en tirely proper to answer the ques tion and give my reasons. I am not sure whether you have asked me this question or not. The pres sure of time makes it impossible for me to check my list, therefore, I may be sending this letter to some who are not interested in my position. If you are one of them, please disregard this letter. In my public statement of April 23d, after discussing our problems in the state and the kind of leader ship we needed, I said: “I will gladly join the host of private citi zens of the state in supporting such leadership.” In my letter of May 8th annoucing that I would not be a candidate, I said, “I am assured that there will be available to the voters of the state one or more men who desire the office, and who, if elected, I believe will give sound constructive administra tion.” In my opinion, Dr. James Mc Leod of Florence comes nearer meeting the requirements for the governorship of the state at this time than any other candidate. 1 am supporting him wholeheartedly and. enthusiastically. I have known Dr. McLeod for some twenty-five years. He has the qualities of sound, progressive leadership that are needed in the state today. He is a man of moral courage and intellectual integrity and will fight for what he believes to be the best interests of South Carolina. He is tied to no politi cal or other group through promises made or contributions accepted and believes that state government should be administered in behalf of all of the people of the state and not in the interest of individuals or groups. He is running for the of fice out of a sincere desire to be of service to the state. His platform is sound, construc tive and fearless. Although I do not agree with every item in. his platform (which is too nyich to expect of any candidate), I am convinced that what he stands for, plus his ability to work with people and to get action, plus his courage, makes him the type of man that South Carolina needs in the Governor’s chair today. I am not politically interested in any individual. My only interest is in the future of South Carolina, its progress and the welfare of its people. I believe that James Mc Leod will provide the leadership on which our state can go forward politically, socially and economi- mically. If you support Dr. McLeod, I hope you will do so actively and agressively. Yours very truly, A. L. M. WIGGINS. Angust 8th, 1946.
