THE POLITICAL POT
BEGINS TO SIMMER.
A Few of Those Who May Face the
Dear People" Next Summer.

Dear People" Next Summer.
Gen. John D. Frost stated
Saturday in answer to an INQUIRY
that while the municipal cam
paign was on he had been ap-
preached by some friends with
gard to the race this summer
for the Office of State senator
from Richls.nd county. He has
no definite plans about the mat
ter, but has it under advisement
now. He will not offer to sue
ceed himself.
Mr.. J. c. Otis recently an
nounced that he would be a can
didate for the State senate in
Cherokee county, but in a card
in the county papers he has
since declared that he has recon-
sidered, nor will he be a candi-
date for reelection to the house
where he served with so much
usefulness and ability. 1t was
thought for awhile that Solicitor
Sease would be a candidate for
attorney general, but he has made
no declaration on that point.
There has been some talk of
Hon. Wyatt Aiken becoming a
candidate for governor, partic-
ularly as he has become some
what of State character in his
opposition to the reappointment
of j. G. Capers to the position of
district attorney.
in case he is a candidate for
that office, or in any other case,
Solicitor julius E. Boggs will be
a candidate for congress. Solicitor
Boggs' political forensic ability
was tested when he defeated for
the Office which he holds the
brilliant young lawyer, the late
Capt. j. Allender Mooney.
There appear to be two can
didates for the Office of lieuten-
ant governors Senator T. B. Nc
Leod and Hon. E. Mitchell Sea-
brook. Senator Mcleod is first
cousin to Mr. E. D. Smith of cot
ton association fame-the "gat-
ling gun" he was called-and the
jOvial senator is somewhat of a
campaigner himself. Mr.. Sea-
brook has been a member of the
legislature for ten years and did
much to soften the animosity
which once existed toward Char
lesion.
1t was announced Friday in
The State that DIR. Diver of
Anderson city would be candi-
date for the Office of secretary of
state. Col. M. P. Tribble was an
nounced for that position some
time ago, and this may compli-
cate his race as Col. Tribble is
also an Anderson man.
Senator w. G.. Hough of Lam
caster is one of those whose terms
expire this summer. He stated
recently that it is not his inten-
tion to offer for reelection. Col.
Leroy Springs is being mention
ed for the place Of State senator.
Col. Springs is one of whom it
may be said that he lis popular
though wealthy" All classes ap-
pear to like Col. Springs.
Among the names of legisla-
lures who have been spoken of
in connection with States offices
is that of Senator Edward McIver
of Chesterfield, who has been
suggested for attorney general.
1t is generally understood that
Capt. R. n. Jennings will offer for
reelection, now that it appears
that he will be restored to health.
No opposition has been heard of.
The senators whose terms ex-
pire this summer are: Messrs.
Blake of Abbeville, Brown of
Darlington, Butler of Cherokee,
Carpenter of Pickens, Davis of
Clarendon, Douglass of Union,
Hardin of Chester, Hay of Ker-
shaw, Hough of Lancaster, Man
ming of Sumter, Marshall of
Richland, McIver of Chesterfield,
Mcleod of Lee, Peurifoy of Col
Teton, Won Kolnitz of Charleston,
Warren of Hampton, Hood of
Anderson, Well of Florence and
Hudson of Marlboro. Several of
them will not offer for reelection.
The State.
