The candidates for the various posi-
sions to be selected by the legislature
are up and doing. Hon. +. S. Whaley:
OF Charleston, has announced himself
a candidate for speaker. and IN our
Judgment, he will have to the reck-
oned with for that prize. Mr.. Whaley
is a legislator of fine ability, and long
experience. and he is also very popular.
The fact that the up-counLry has the
main share of the high Offices Is
another thing which viii operate IN
Mr.. Whaley's favor. In our opinion,
Charleston deserves recognition, and
the election of Mr.. Whaley to the
speakership will add much to the
bringing of all sections of South Caro-
lima together. Make r. S. Whaley
the next speaker.
