And he will not have to prove his case. Either way, he will have negotiated himself into a strategic posi tion for a “draft” when his party’s convention goes into session. “Then, of course, the Demo cratic party must consider its alternatives to Mr. Johnson. Hubert Humphrey? His politi cal star has been falling, not rising, since he became vice president. Bobby Kennedy ? Even the most faithful of the party must shudder at the thought. Eugene McCarthy? A man with one issue and prac tically no qualification for the office. In every way, the poli tical nose of LBJ senses the sweet fragrance of a “draft.” “Meanwhile, the Johnson pos ture plays havoc with the Re publican strategy, and certainly that of George Wallace. Neither Nixon—who seems certain to be the Republican nominee— nor Mr. Wallace, can run very effectively against a man who has declared he won’t be in the race. Yet Lyndon Johnson is the personification of the dis satisfaction of the country. He is the symbol of the strange war in Vietnam. He is the man ifestation of the nation’s folly in dealing with racial strife; he is the political example of what happens to the stability of a republic when its leader follows a course of too many compromises with pressure groups, too much deficit spend ing, and the rash imposition of unwise, dangerous federal con trols. “ To run against these—and to achieve a public understand ing of them—it is necessary to run against the man who promoted them. Lyndon John son, in his announcement Sun day evening, made this impos sible—for the moment, at least. And if he holds true to his pledge, he has diminished the likelihood of the issues be ing evaluated at all. “So those who most dislike the policies of Lyndon John son can find scant causes for joy in his announcement that he will not be a candidate for reelection. To be sure, Mr. Johnson—as a man—solved his own personal problem—either temporarily or permanently. He need not—and will not— defend his judgments of the past before the bar of public appraisal. If, in fact, he does not run at all there will be no record vote on the President’s record. Thus, politicians of the present, not to mention the future, will have no way of being certain about the dif ference between political wis dom and political failure. “And not knowing, for sure, the markings of political mis takes, the republic may be doomed to future leaders mak ing them again. That is the un- happiest aspect of the Presid ent’s announcement Sunday evening.” Wedding Invitations at The Sun Office. TAX SERVICE TAX SERVICE Federal and State Phone 276-5520 T. L.

Has served South Carolina for 17 years as a resource for help ing alcoholics and excessive drinkers. More than 11,000 men and women have sought help here. The rehabilitation division operates on fees and donations. Those able to pay all or part of the cost of their treatment are expected to do so. Others are given the same treatment without cost. This is a 30-day program. Our hospital division has no charity fund and operates en tirely on fees. For years we have limited the admission fee to $85.00 which covered phy sician’s fee, drugs, room and board, and nursing care for four days. No patient in our hospital has ever had to em ploy a special nurse. We regret to announce that during the first quarter of 1968 the hospital lost nearly $1,000.00 in operations. The Board of Trustees has there fore instructed the management to raise the admission fee to $100.00, but to give five days treatment for this fee. This goes into effect May 1st. Un til then the admission fee will remain at $85.00. Hospital phone 337-2259. Administration 337-2255. RIDGEWAY, S. C.
