Reaching into the Upper Pied mont for the first time in a decade for its presiding officer, the South Carolina House of Representatives Tuesday elected Bruce Littlejohn, 34-year-old Spartanburg lawyer as its speaker. Littlejohn’s election came within an hour after the convening of the 27th South Carolina General As sembly. He received 67 votes to 50 for his only opponent, Thomas H. Pope, of Newberry. A third candi date Charles N. Plowden, of Clar endon, withdrew from the contest Tuesday morning. The Spartanburg attorney, hold ing the support of Gov.-Elect J. Strom Thurmond, who will be in augurated next Tuesday, captured the powerful speakership on votes from the mountains to the sea shore. Among those voting for Lit tlejohn was Rep. Solomon Blatt, of Barnwell, who had been speaker for ten years, but who did not of fer for the post today. It was a situation in which suen legislative co-workers as Blatt and Rep. J. Morrison Tuten of Hamp ton, divided. Tuten voted for Pope. He had been chairman of the com mittee on ways and means under Blatt’s speakership. The proportions of Littlejohn’s margin surprised most observers who had been predicting a neck- and-neck contest, with a winner to garner a majority of scorcely as many as half a dozen votes.

Perrin Anderson, of Green wood, would obtain a heavy vote, and from almost all quarters of the state. Rep. J. B. Morrison of George town, was elected speaker pro tem over Rep. J. Clator Arrants of Kershaw, The last upstate speaker of the House was Claude A. Taylor, also of Spartanburg. He served in 1935 and 1936. Blatt succeeded him in 1937 and served through the year 1946.
