Dewel renomination urged by local republican editors
A Kemper County editorial urges the Republican Party to renominate W C Dewel for clerk of courts citing his legal skill and handicap of hearing as factors in his favor. The piece defends a nonpartisan motive, distinct from other offices and notes the county faces major drainage planning and legal questions. It also mentions William II and other national issues in a broad, period-voiced commentary.
