lege professor, he has Travelled
all over the State and is con-
centrating now in the Johns
ton strongholds of the textile
centers around Spartanburg
and Anderson. He is mildly OPP
timistic about his chances.
1.-THE prospects for success are
better now than ever as a re-
suit not only of a strong or
ganizational effort on our part
but also to the continuing dis
illusionment of south Car
DINA with the Kennedy admin
istration," he told a reporter.
Senator Johnston ambled into
his headquarters after two days
of campaigning with an air OF
confidence. Earlier he had said
he would not be surprised II
he carried all the States as
counties. 'I would be surprised"
Mr.. Workman snapped back.
An observer here who has
witnessed m any of the Sen
ator's battles paid tribute to his
political agility for a balancing
act between Southern conser-
vatism and the Kennedy admin
istration. "He's like a cat" the
observer said. "You toss 1t out
of an history window and it
lands on its feet. Few men I
have ever known have Olin's
sense of political strategy"
Comes Full Circle
The race here, If nothing else,
demonstrates that with South
Carolina Democrats the party
has come full cycle. Once the
party of "lily whites" it now
| includes traditional Democrats,
laboring people, organized and
unorganized, and most Of the
Negro voters in the State. The
Republicans, on the other hand
have turned the other way.
An estimated 100000 Negroes
are included among the States
registered voters now ap-
preaching the 100000 mark
Upwards of $4,000 of them are
Expected to vote in next
months election.
According to a Negro leader
here. most of them will vote
Democratic despite the fact
that Senator Johnston, while
Governor, sponsored registra-
ton changes which reduced the
number of Negroes eligible tc
vote from $50, 900 to $4,000.
Most are for Johnston" said
DR.. John Bacoats, president Of
Benedict College, a Negro IN
stitution. Those in the Repub-
lican Party now are not the par
ty of Abraham Lincoln. 1t is
a reprisal party against tn c
principles of the Democratic
Party end the Kennedy admin
istration."
Several factors lend Interest
to the Senate and House races
and make any predictions
something less than exact.
One is the feelings engenderec
by the Ole Miss affair and the
dispatch Of military forces tt
4 oxford by President Kennedy
The issue has been kept out o.
the campaign, but observers sa!
it is something to be reckoneC
with and the resentment i
; something no one will venture
, to gauge.

COLUMBIA, S. c., oct. ~.
A conservative Republic
can challenge for Senate and
House seats from a state
traditionally Democratic is
giving South Carolina voters a
rare political battle in an off,
year general election.
The challengers are:
Energetic, articulate William
D. Workman, jr., 48. a former
newspaperman, who is seeking
to unseat Olin De Witt Johns
ton after his 10 years in the
Senate.
Floyd Spence, q former men,
Der of the State Legislature who
is opposing Democrat Albert W
Watson for election to the
House from South Carolina'S
I'd district, which includes the
State capital and other GASES
Of Republican strength.
The I'd district seat was filled
in the last session by Mrs. Co
rhine B. Riley after the death
of her husband, Representative
John j. Riley. Mrs. Riley die
not seek election.
Other House seats are un-
contested and Donald s. Rus
sell. one-time protege Of former
Secretary of State James F
Byrnes, is unopposed for Gov
Democratic nominee for Gov
ernor. Mr.. Byrnes, who sup
ported former President Eisen-
hover and Richard M. Nixon
is reported taking no part In
either the Senate or House
campaigns.
Long Road for COP.
While Republican hopes are
the brightest they have been ir
the palmetto State since Re-
construction days, the two Re-
publican candidates, all impair
tial observers agree, have a Ions
way to go.
With the election three weeks
off, the odds against any Repub'
lican inroads in a State thai
has nurtured Senator Johnston
| in the stumping traditions o.
"Pitchfork Ben" Tillman, Coli
Blease and Cotton Ed" Smith
seem all but insurmountable.
For the challengers, the is
sues in a campaign which only
now is beginning to sparkle are
simple. They are in the classic
form Of Arizona'S prophet o.
conservatism, Senator Barry
Goldwater, a great 1aVorlC'
here and add up to:
Unrelenting opposition tt
President Kennedy's admin
istration and its spending anC
social programs, and agains
Senator Johnston as an instru'
ment in Congress of those pol
icieS.
The Johnston Attack
For Senator Johnston, chair
man of the Senate Post Offic
and Civil Service Committee,
veteran Of many intra-part
wars, the Republican platform
is pettyfogging folderol. WheI
he returned belatedly fror
Washington and opened hi
campaign last week, he set tn
issues, as South Carolinian
like to see them drawn, in thei
proper perspective.
They involved the war be
tween the States, Reconstruc
ton, big business and the Strug
giles of the little man agains
powerful and affluent interest:
His opponent is a nameles
"he" who represents big bust
ness and the only question il
the race was that lone felloN
has the job and the other fel
low wants it."
His supporters, who were get
ting a little jittery, loved II
and yelped gleefully: Pour
on, Olin."
