STATE CANDIDATES FIRE GUNS
FOR BENEFIT OF UNION VOTERS

quite large gathering or clttzens.
The speaking was ein the city park.
The Times reporter did not hear Mrs.
Wallace, who was one of the two la
dies running for state superintendent
of education. From all accounts she
sustained her reputation which had
preceded her for making a clcar-cut
strong speech. The following is a
trief summary and by no means a
complete synopsis:
Supt. of Education
D. T.. Swearingen, superintendent
Of education fer number of years,
seeks reelection on his record.
Cecil H. Seigler, Of Aiken, is a
tanner, Clemson man and a farmer
Is superintendcnt of education in ALL.
en-. Slogan: A square deal and an
equal opportunity for every child in
the state.
Mrs. Bessie Rogers Drake, candi-
date for Supt. of Education, of Ben.
nettsville, makes a good personal ap-
pearance and speaks we'll AS a
teacher and mother feels that she is
qualified and has a duty to perform.
Endorsed by alumnae of Winthrop
College. Texas and Montana already
have women at the head of education
al system and yet they have forged
to the front. Eighty-six per cent of
the teachers are women. Believes
the state should be the unit in pub
lie education instead of the commu-
nifty. Good applause.
JAS. III. Hope, was at home, and re-
ccived hearty applause. Was en-
ployed by book publishing firm but
advocated no changes in text books
at this time of depression. Yet more
than one-half of the books were
changed, and in many instances there
are duplicate text books. For three
weeks Mr.. Swearingen has been
sleeping and hobnobing with a book
agent. The present superintendent is
not in touch with the legislature and
hence does not get the apportionment
which you need.
o. ID. Seay, of Richland, has been
teacher for many years and is
self-made man. Has served in every
type of school in the state. Has been
, county superinte zuf his native
county for six years.
Secretary of State.
w. Banks Dove has occupied the
office for six years and seeks reelec-
ton on his record, Found more rec
crd work in Office than was necessary
and found it necessary to have more
funds to rearrange work. He pursued
the latter course. If defeated will
carry the consciousness that he per-
formed the duties of his Office and d id
it we'll. ,;.'...
James C. Dozier of Rock Hill was

port of liberty loan. Born in Horny

lieves in rotation in Office and the Of
flee which he seeks has held Office

Criminal laws need to be frightened to
suppress crime wave. If elected

B. M. Winter, Of Berkeley, worked
way through university. For four
years has represented his county IN
legislature. What We need is an ac-
tive campaign against crime led by
attorney general seeking convictior
of criminals. This campaign cannot
be carried out by man opposed to cap
ital punishment. If elected will be
attorney general and not mere agent
