Race For Congress
Recently there has been much talk
of a three cornered race in the Third
congressional district. The talk is
that Congressman Fred Dominick may
have at least two candidates to op-
pose him next year, the two being
Attorney General Sam Wolfe of An
derson and Hon. Sam Sherard OF
Greenwood county, now member OF
the legislature. Some time ago 1t
was rumored that State Senator Frank
Watkins of Anderson was figuring on
making the race but lately the dope
is that he is not interested this time.
Attorney General Wolfe was a
member of the Anderson bar and
made a fine run for the attorney gen.
erals place. He was reelected last
year without opposition. General
Wolfe is a graduate of Furmar univ
ersity and was a winner of the ora
torical medal in Greenwood while a
college student. The general opinion
seems to be that Anderson county Will
be the battle ground in any real con-
gressional contest so it is an inter-
esting question as to how strong Gen
eral Wolfe is in the county in which
he is legal resident.
Hon. Sam Sherard of this county,
who is spoken of in the rumors as
candidate along with General Wolfe,
will not at this time state positively
whether he will be in the race or not.
That is, he will not deny it and he
will not admit it as positive fact but
friends who are close to him say that
he will be in the race beyond the
shadow of a doubt next year.
Mr.. Sherard is graduate of Glenn
son and an enthusiastic Clemson
alumnus. Not long after graduation
he went to Europe as special agrl-
cultural Inspector and spent much
time in England and in continental
Europe studying farm problems, ere
dit, markets, etc. He went on through
India, Egypt, China and Japan and
to the Philippines where he spent four
and half years as special govern
ment agricultural director. AS a
member of the house he has already
won a high reputation and is a men,
Der of the ways and means commit
tee. He is a most active campaigner
and his friends predict that if he goes
into the race he will be factor.
Dominick Will Run
1t is presumed that Congressman
Fred Dom:nick will stand for re-elec-
ton. He is serving his third term now
ana made strong show in last year s
primary. He has strong hold IN his
native county of Newberry and of
course has made many friends since
his first election. He is regarded as
campaigner of power and he would
not be idle if he had two opponents
against him next year.
There is not much talk of contests
in other districts though one rumor
has it that Congressman H. P. Fuller
is going to have some fight on his
hands precipitated by Hon. Claude n
Sapp of Columbia. Mr.. Sapp IS a
former resident of Lancaster but ne
now lives in Columbia where he has
Iibecome a political figure of note. 1t
is rumored that he is going after
Fulmer's seat with a vengeance.
An interesting side issue on this
probable fight is the reported contest
which is said to be certain on Circuit
Judge Bowman of Ornageburg. This
report is that Hon. NJ. M. Mann, wei
/ known and liked in this section now
clerk of the state senate, is going tc
be a most formidable opponent fo1
Judge Bowman when the latter come;
I'D for reelection in the general as
sembly.
All in all there seems to be plenty
of political excitement ahead for mex
wear and when it is remembered thai
the women are going to take part Y
the primary it will be seen that there
will be lots of interesting features te
the campaign.
