(Greenville News)
'Columboia, June 19.--A bunper
crop of candidates for state olicers
makes a rich 'harvet this year for the
tre*asury of the State Democratic Exe
outive committee. As one hat after
another .was flung into the ring-and
these fell thick and fast up to 12
o'clock today-accompanying the som
breros of male candidates Were checks
of $100 and $200 dimensions. "A pret
ty good day's :business," remarked Ed
gar A. Brown, the state chairman who,
halling froin Barnwell, w'here he is a
candidate for the legislature, Is inci
dentally boss of the works.
Complaint was heard not many
days ago .that this year there appeared
to -be little intel-est in state politics
outside of the gubernatorial race. But
the last days' gleaning-and it c as on
ly half a day at that-brought the bi
ennial crop of candidates up to seome
thing a little more than par. Pledges
were filed thick and fast this moi-ning,
so thick and so fast that the entire
landscape was completely changed.
Those political wiseacres who have
heretofore predicted their prognosti
cations upon the line-up as previously
existing now face the necessity of re
vising the same because of new en
tries.
Eleventh hour candidates have ra-th
er convpiicated the situation for those
who, until this morning, had no oppo
sition. Political aspirants came today
from various parts of the state, the
capital swarming with them like bees
at hiving time. One shudders to thinli
what might have happened -to the as
pirations and ambitions of some t)
,these had their trains been late or had
they suffered more than one or Fiw(
blowouts on the way. In point of fact
Sain T. Carter, for past years stat<
treasurer, is the one state oflicer wh<
did not draw an opponecnt, a worthi
tribute to a worthy and a faithful of
licial of the state government.
There was also one withdrawal
Paul IMoore, of Columbia, quit the race
for state stuverintendent of education
In this race, -however, are left si:
candidates, including bwo women, th4
first of the female sex to offer forath
state ollices, They are Mrs. djesult
Rogers Drake, of larlboro, and Mrs
Martha Wallace, of Columbia.
dFor :lieutenant 'governor, two nev
candidates entered the political arena

C. 'L. Adams, of Columbia. Two can
didates for attorney general also an

LMr. Lany favored rigid economy in
the stato government without injuring
the efmcency to iny ziocossary part
of the government.
iHe wanted real -estate and -person-,
al property shbuldbe relieved of the
heavy burden. lie favored a reclassi-.
fic-ation 6t property to have each' bear
its proportionate ' share. e would'
seek other mians of raising reveilue.
Hie favored a continuation of the taxa
tion policy started by the last legisla
ture. 'Ho has always stood for econ
oly in his 20 years of puiblic life.
'Ho plead for the proper sui:pport of
the educa-tion1 of .the boys and girls
of the state. He wanted liberal up
port of the schools, the Confederate
veterans :nd .the state hospital. .
:He stood for law enforcement. He
predicted that Columbia would be one:
of the chief distributing points of the
south if the canal property were de
veloped by the state. 'He promised
faithful- service to all,. if elected.
- Thomas G. NMc.Leod, or Dishopville
former Ilentegant governor believes he
could be of service .to his state and
hier ureople in this tparticular line.
There are, many responsibilities to be1
met. The world 'war has changed the
'conditions. He considered the agri
cultural life the backbone of the state
and congratulated the steps taken by
the farmers to -unite their efforts and
the hariony that is -being brought
about. Igt
!Mr. McLeod said the imO has come
and some progres.4 is now being made
to distribute the tax burden among
other classes. He would have unity
between the governor and the legisla
ture.
Mr. MoLeod read a table showing
how the tax money Vas ;being expend
ed in Richland county. lie said it
was the duty of each county to see
that its money was justly distributed
and the same is true of the state as to
its exipendiures. -e stated that he ex
pected to cite in every county the ex
penditures in that county.
:He stands, he said, for the. liberal
support of the Confederate veterans.
He wanted to see the eduentional
progress qarried on. -I conldered
the bet efforts of his life work was
that given to the cause of helping to
build u) the school of his comnmuni
ty. He stood -fairly and squarely bo
hind 'the enforcement of the law.
".Prevention is the course and surgery
is the remedy." He would stand
for upholding the verdicts of juries.
The criminal -must be L'unished. The
men and women of the state are an
important 'part in suppression of
crime. Ho pledged -all his efforts to
promote the interests of the state.
Air.' .lcLeod was given an ovation
by the large audience. .
AWilliam Coleman, of Union, who ar
rived later, was the last of the guber
natorial candidates to speak. 'Ie was
in the race because of a ruling pas
sion for which he had no apology that
of a "lovo for my belov'ed Southland."
He had one 'purpose, that of serving
his state. lie ipaid a tri-bute to the
forefathers and their noble aspirations.
He stood for cooperation and coor
dination,. Mr. Coleman announced
- that he wvould speak again at 8 o'clock
- tonight on the state house steps,
