Challenger Worley Tangles Thurmond Age in South Carolina Race
North Myrtle Beach motel owner Harold Gene Worley launched a Republican primary challenge to U S Senator Strom Thurmond arguing he is too old to serve at age 3 years more. Worley, 46, has borrowed 600000 for his bid but lacks a campaign team or consultants ahead of the June 11 contest. Thurmond, a longtime incumbent and armed services chair, showed strong support from Gov. Beasley at his kickoff. Democrat Elliott Close, a Springs fortune heir, is a leading candidate with Cecil Williams also seeking the nomination.
