A change of heart -r of
policy seems to have come
over the Oreenville News.
Several years app', when Re
publicans for the first time
challenged several state - wide
Democratic office holders, the
News—-in its editorial column.-,
—carried a short biographical
sketch of each candidate then
announced that it’s policy was
to not endorse candidates for
political office; only to outline
their qualification.- and allow
the public to decide for itself.
This year, the News -eems
to be doin^ an about face. I
do not remember actually road-
inrr that the News is endorsing
Nixon, but its editorials leav*-*
no doubt that that is the case.
And that is fine. I like to see
a newspaper take a stand.

Now the News laments that
Wallace waited so late to pick
a running mate. N > doubt, had
he chosen one right in the be
ginning of his campaign, the
News would then have said he
acted too hastily, without any
thought, about the possibility
of the running mate occupying
the White House.
