istration as mayor OF Charleston last
December, after having served sew
eral terms IS an alderman and has
held other positions of public trust.
Mayor Rheet has spoken before COM
mercial organizations in Columbia,
Anderson and other cities in the in
terest of the State, where he has
many strong friends and supporters.
His discussion of financial and rail-
road questions have especially i'm
proved his knowledge of matters Of
the kind. This was particularly in
evidence in the consideration given
to his views recently On the proposed
reform of currency legislation by
government officials and writer's on
financial matters.
Mayor Rhett is good speaker and
he promises to make a hard fight for
the Office that he seeks. He will en-
deavor to3enlighten the public on the
questions of the day and will make
the race on his merit rather than on
any attack on opposing candidates.

CharIeston's Executive Makes Formal
Statement of His Candidacy-So-
Iicits Support Of Democratic Voters
His Decision Something of a
Surprise.
Charleston, June 1O.-Mayor Rhett
announced his candidacy tonight for
United States senator and will file
his pledge tomorrow.
Following a conference at his Office
at the Peoples National bank hegave
out the following statement:
'sTo the Democratic Voters of South
Carolina: I have determined to be
candidate for United States senator
at the approaching primary election.
I shall tomorrow file my pledge with
the State Democratic committee as
required by the rules of the party and
will abide by the rules of the primary
election. l respectfully solicit the
support of Democratic voters of the
State. r. Goodwin Rhett."
The announcement of the candidacy
of Mayor Rhett will be in the nature
of a surprise to the voters of the
State, as his name has not heretofore
been mentioned in connection with
the office. He and ex-Gov. Hayward
have been close business and personal
friends for years and with the de-
cision of the latter to forego making
the race on account of his health,
Mayor Rhett decided to enter the
race.
Further than the statement given
above Mayor Rhett said tonight that
he had nothing to say but that in the
next few days he will probably make
a statement.
Mayor Rhett is one of the best
known and regarded men in the State
and it is admitted that his candidacy
is strong one. He is one of the
most successful business men in Char
lesion, having large financial interests
but these have not interfered with a
close study of public questions and on
these matters he is particularly well
qualified to discuss and make therace
for the Office that he seeks. He was
a delegate at large to the Democratic
national convention four years ago.
He entered upon his second admin
