McLAURIN A PROBABLE CANDIDATE.


MeLAURlN A PROBABLE CANDIDATE.
The nearest we have yet seen
that approaches committing him
self on the often asked question,
:sWill John r. McLaurin be a
candidate for governor mex t
summer" came out in an inter-
view at Anderson last Thursday.
Senator McLaurin has been the
recipient of many invitations
from different parts of the State
to deliver addresses on the sub
ject of warehousing and market
ing of cotton, and especially to
explain the features of his cot
ton warehouse bill now pending
in the State senate. We gather
from his talk to the Anderson
Intelligencer that he will enter
the contest. Senator McLaurin's
nature is opposed to factional-
ism. if be does enter the contest,
we feel sure it will be his desire
to discourage the drawing OF
factional lines, and endeavor to
make his campaign an education
al one. There is no need for fac
tions, they can only prove irri.
tants and prevent the exercise
of an intelligent ballot; fortu-
nately, the gentlemen so ia r
mentioned, are good material to
select from, and the accepting Of
any of them will be no mistake.
The only matter tor the voters
to consider will be which one Of
the number Of good men will, in
their judgment, be best suited
under the conditions to be of aid
to the general welfare.
South Carolina has had enough
of factionalism to last for several
years, and when the campaign
opens up next summer, the first
thing the people should give the
politicians to understand is that
all attempts to conduct the cam:
paign on factional lines will be
frowned down, and that the peo'
pie are determined to Judge the
candidates and their issues upon
merit-the personnel Of the as
pirants is satisfactory: all are
men of high character, but the
time is at hand, especially, with
such an array of good materia!
to select from, for the voters tc
be guided in their choice by in
telligence rather than by pas
sion.
Senator McLaurin's visit tC
Anderson was while on his way
to attend a reunion OF the Acker'
Holbert family which took place
in the park at Williamson, and
in reply to the reporter Of the
Intelligencer, who said.
Senator. there is great deal o.
speculation as to what you are going Il
do about the governors race"
He said. "Well, I've already sait
dozens of times just what am going tt
do, I'm going to do just what a major
ity of the people want me to do, and il
begins to look like they really want me
for their next governor"
81 do nos think 1t is good thing 70,
the State. to keep it in aterment all the
time over politics. Give the people 8
rest. They got on political drunk las'
sumner, and they ought 10 have 8
chance to sober up and let the aue:
cool of. That is the reason that l can
celled several engagements to speak,
saw that if whole lot of candidate:
started around speaking, it meant jus1
one continuous campaign and that doe:
look so foolish. I want to get chance
to talk to the people on line that will
be of some benefit to them. Most OF the
leaders in the State have endorsed my
State warehouse bill. see where Sen
| ator Tillman says it "will be OF untold
benefit" etc. It is q great pity with the
change coming on the currency ques
ton, that the legislature did not pass
the warehouse bill last winter. The big
gest problem that they have facing
them, is to get a proper basis for the
| issue OF currency, and l defy any mar
TO devise saner, ora sounder basis fol
currency than the receipts provided
for in the State warehouse bill. 1t wout
greatly increase the value OF every acre
OF cotton producing land in the South
and give US currency which woalc
expand when there was need as now
and automatically cootract as the cror
| was marketed and the necessity gone
l do not know how it will work out, bu
| I have never minded being out OF con
gress as much as | do now, l woult
have loved to have taken hand in the
fight from the standpoint of cotton."

Seems long time to endure the aw
