AM IN THE RACE-DO NOT FOR.
GET 1T.

Another way the politician has of
coming at you IS by saying casually
put with good deal of personal in
terest which he is unable to conceal
DO not forget I am in the race and
am there ID stay. and tell YOU
ar going to be elected You lust
wait and see. Why people all over
the country have been just imploring
me to run, and do not see how 7
can well get around it. Personally :
had rather not be in politics, Lut I
think a man should be willing f.
serve the people when called upon
to do so.''
How Is it possible to get around a
thing like this? The man believes
every word that has been told him
and more. He is convinced that mn
one can fill the office to which be os
pires as well as he. The thing is all
through him, and he VIII never SEQ
hs mistake until the votes are count
ed, and even then, should he he lef-
N"'' HC viii iecl sure tndt the folks
who did not support him made an
egregious blundcr. He is apt to be
very sore for a time, but IL he is
same, he will come again and again
1t will take more than one defeat to
tame a man like this. We have seen
mep made sick-really sick by de-
feat for office.
There are a number of politicians
all over the country who are ready to
wade in. They will not be able TO
stand IL a great while longer. or
course, there are some even in Green
wood county who have aspirations
and we do not think that they should
be discouraged; for this Is a free
country and 1t is the privilege of any
one who so desires to offer his SER
Yices to his country even at great
sacrifice and cost to himseIf.-
