aries closed today at noon, there was
opposition for only three State offic-
es for the United States Senate, in
four districts for Congress and five
circuits for solicitor.
From the present outlook, the
Forthcoming campaign which opens at
Sumter tomorrow for the United
States Senate and at Columbia for
State offices, will be Lnprecedentedly
quiet. The people are not thinking
about politics, particularly as there
are very few, pronounced issues.
The most interesting race will be
for the United States Senate: E. y.

being opposed by George Warren, Of
Hampton solicitor of the Fourteenth
Judicial Circuit; William P. Pollock,
OF Cheraw, former United States Sen
ator and William c. Irby, of Laurens,
for ten years a member of the House
of Representatives and candidate in
1914 for governor.

luinbia, Secretary Of Statej Samuel
NJ. Wolfe, of Anderson, attorney gen.
eral; s. T. Carter, of Columbia, State
treasurer; John E. Swearingen, of CO.
lumbia, State Superintendent of Edu-
cation and B. Harris, of Pendenton,
commissioner of agriculture, COM

Duncan, whose only experience in
State politics was the executive sec
retaryship during the administration
of former Governor Richard I. Man
ming entered the race. Mr.. Rice with
drew, and no one else has offered.
This is the first time in many years
that a new man has offered for poll
