The watchman and southron. [volume] (Sumter, S.C.) 1881-1930, 1922-09-06

The first time Thos. G. Mcleod
offered for public office he was
nominated for the House Of Rep
resentatives in Sumter county by
the largest majority any candidate
had ever received, and few if any
candidates have since duplicated
his record in his first race. The
vote Sumter county gave him last
Tuesday was complimentary
substantial majority oyer all other
lcandidates-but on September 18th
she friends of good government
and law enforcement should rally
70 give the biggest vote any candi-
date for Governor ever received
in Sumter county. 1t can be done
if the proper effort is made.
