THE .CAMPAIGN IS OVER
The campaign for the nomination of I
a democratic candidate fdr governor!
of South Carolina caine to a close yes
terday. It seems to be in the at
mosphere that Richard I. Manning
will be the next governor of the state.
We can add not liing to what we have |
said in the past:
. MWe bare long known him to be a
man of character? of vision? of Strm
pkthy, of honesty?, and of reliabil
ity. And we believe that If He ls
elected governor there will be in
that office a man whom every
Sont h Carolinian will In time ?orne I .
to love. He ls a man of gentle'
manner*?bat of undoubted cour

We hope and believe that Anderson'
county will gtve Richard I. Manning
a comfortable majority. Against his
opponent, we have nothing to say.
Against his private life no charge can
be brought, but we think thst his own
"speech" here Saturday afternoon ls
the best evidence of bis unfitness to
hold an office of so much importance.
There ls another race in which much
interest is being manifested and that
ls the contest for congress.
Mr. Dominick gets a lot of fun out
of an expression 'tosed In thia paper
to the effect that it would be "diffi
cult to say-what Mi.1 Aiken bad dona '
for his constituents.
In his readiness tb make capital of
this expression. Mr. Dominick admits
bis commercial conception of the du
ties of a congressman. Our view of
the responsibility of that great office
differs from his. We conceive that
tho work ot a congressman ls some
thing higher than merely to look ofter
postofticqp and post roads, although he
should do this too. Mr. Dominick did
not quote all of our query "What is the
measure" of*tb? rucee?? or thc work
or tho accomplishment of a congress
mutt. Mr. Underwood ts the teador of
the Democrats in the hons e and we
suppose any South Carolina congress
man gets ss much federal "patronage"
aa Mr. Underwood.
The measure of a congressman ls
stet, air ne the "pap" be gets, but tho
personality he has, the prestige be
eujTys, and we believe Mr. Aiken has
bia1 share of that, and wtll enlnv ft for
two years yet to come.
Aa to the card of J. H. Patten, we
wish tb ssy that the attack upon him
was marked ptainly "advertisement"
and we disclaim sny responsibility
therefor. We think Mr. Patten':* at
tack on Mr. Aiken was In very bab
taste, but we do not uphold the counter
