women, find an easy place to hide. no,

l didn't hear much politics in Colum-
bia when there Tuesday night. But
politics is being talked all right enough.
The manipulatorst and engineers of
things political in the interest of CO.
lumbia and sthe vested interests, are
doing some real, sure enough, cross
my-heart thinking about the coming
political battle for the governors Of
fee. Heard 1t down there that the po-
litical high priests in Columbia have
given Representative Lilies Glenn Of
Chester, the once-over as possible CUB
ernatorial timber. They think he is a
pretty nice, level-headed young fellow
and everybody who knows the young
man will agree that he is all Of that,
but for reasons best known to them
selves the political high priests, so
heard, decided that he wasn't seasoned
enough for the particular piece Of fur
niture desired for the governors sane
tum-didn't get 1t whether Mr.. Glenn
was too bendable or not bendable
enough. Any way he was pitched on
the slab pile. Then of course there is
more scouting going on, but the piece
of timber seems to be rather hard to
find. To be sure 1t Is the understand
ing that John Duncan and Mr.. Bethea
will be in the race and possibly. Lieu
tenant Governor Harvey, and several
times I heard 1t said that Samuel T.
Lanham of Spartanburg was and is in
viting the gubernatorial bee to play in
his back yard and while I understand
there has been no public announcement
from Mr.. LanhaIn,; I did hear a gentle
man who knows him well say And
Sam likes for you to ask him If he is
going to rum" Blease is the most COM
monty mentioned candidate for govern
or. He's announced himself and his
friends are doing the rest Of the wire
less phoning. for him. From the talk
that one picks up in private conversa-
ton with men from different sections,
one statement is almost invariably
made before the conversation ends,
There are men in my section who new
er have voted for Blease; but who say
they are going to do so this year, be-
cause they believe he will try to do
something to stop this wild extrava-
gance." The wording is changed
around a bit, but the meanings Of these
statements are all about the same, but
to be sure there is quite a bit of
time between now and election day and
all kinds of things political can happen
before the votes are counted.
Also heard that Jennings K. Owens,
from Marlboro, and
native of Rock Hill, has a bug in his
bonnet. He is modest about what he
wants. He wants Mr.. Harvey's job. At
least that is the grapevine rumor about
the state house.
