tics of the state. 1t Is hinted that
there will be two distinct sets Of can
didates for the general assembly in
each county-a set of Blease candi-
dates and a set of Jones candidates.
We hope this Is true. In fact we
should have two active political par
ties in this state. Why? Because
when there Is only one party that
party becomes careless and allows
anyone no matter how unfit to run
for office. The consequence Is that
we get some mighty poor officials
sometimes, whereas, II we had two ac-
tive parties each party would only suf-
fer It's best men to be put forward for
positions of honor and then it would
make little difference who was elect
ed because he would in all probability
be a man of some qualification. This
would be rough on some OF the poll
ticians but it would be for the best
interest of the state.-Gaffney Ledger
