One cannot visit Columbia nova
DAYS without being impressed with
the popularity of Governor Manning.
Slowly but surely the people OF the
State are beginning to appreciate
him as one of the best governors
South Carolina has ever had. He
has had a hard row to hoe. He went
into Office at a time when no man
could have escaped criticism. He
has failed to play politics but has
done his duty honestly and as ne
saw it and today he has the respect
of all South Carolina. They recog.-
nize him as an honest man and good
govenor-not a professional poll
stician whose chief claim to fame IS
that he possesses the damnable aolil-
.ty to stir up class hatred.
The man that beats Richard l.
Manning for governor will have to go

Governor Manning went into ONCE
under the most difficult circum-
stances imaginable. The governor
has accomplished much during his
administration, and that under very
trying conditions.
