TOLBERT IS UNFIT i Dial's Ohjection to Kcpubliccin St te * , Chairman. ?i IS WORST KIND OF A SPOILSMAN H 1 _ Senator From South Carolina Tells Why Ho Is Unwilling to Consent to j Confirmation of Jos. W. Tclbert as , Marshall for the Western D.strict. | Washington, July 30.?Charging that , Joseph W. Tolbcrt as Republican "ref- i ertc" for South Carolina has been a J "spoilsman of the worst class" and | believing that he is "unsuitcd by ha- j tare, by training and by habits and is ; i wanting in every proper manner the j qualities Co" fulfill the duties of the ; high position to which the president ?.??. .>in>\(n?iU him " Senator N. B. Dial | today outlined the reasons beilnd his announced opposition to the selection qf Tolbert to be marshal of the West- j ern district of South Carolina. "Tolbert," Senator Dial said, "is the ! , # I South Carolina member of the Itepub, , lican national committee, state chair- j man of that organization, and was recently appointed "referee' for Sout'a 1 Carolina, fpr the present ftdminlstrn- 1 tion, that is, he is the chief distrlbu- i ter ,of patronage. "I ain not concerned aboui these | positions, and would not interfere if I 1 ccuid, and could; not if I would. They j arc sImply party matters. The np- i pointcc.to the position of marshal has I to be cohflrmod by and, with tho advice and consent of the senate, and thic is an entirely different proposition. Then the president is of one political party and the senators of another partyv: there is no advice given in these appointments, wh'-n tijc office is hot a bipartisan one, but when the [ n?mo hnfrira to the senate, we have to j vote either to confirm or reject, hence j we-arp responsible to this extent for > all appointments confirmed by the i se'nalc. "The public has a right to expect us I to usd all diligence and exercise our best judgment?stronger than this, they have a right to demand that we scrutinize most carefully all such appointees. I have received letters from friepds on the subject, but I know most o^ this is propaganda and that many of tWm have been imposed upon. Not Party Question. "I do not fall out with people because they arc Republicans, notwithstanding I think they show poor judg- j meat in the 5?outh to belong to this j party; I freely accord every man right i to.^oin whichever party he sees proper I and to select his own companions, and J if there are suitable individuals in their own ranks, it is their privilege to 1 selpct jthem for political offices. Neith- I er do I quarrel with tho powers that be for appointing them. "The appointee in this instance, Joseph W^-T'olbert, is unsuited by nature, by training and by habits, and is wanting in every proper manner the qualities to fulfill the duties of the high .and responsible office to which the president has named him. "I will, not mention sorpe unpleasant matters that will throw no particular light on the subject, but will only call to the mifids of the people a few facts which confirm my opinion in the matter. _ "Mr. Toitkirt poses as a large farmer, whereas the record in Greenwood county shows that he does net pay a cent of taxes, except a dollar poll brand the records in the municipal, state and the Federal courts?both on the , civil and criminal side?show that his j record Is an unenviable one. I do not i ineap to say that it is necessary for a man to own property to hold office; far he If from mc to take sueh a position, but Tolbert is sailing under | false colors. ahk Tolbert's conduct since he has heeji apiwinted 'referee' has shown him : to'^e a spoilsman of the worst class..I F?instance, under the practice of this | administration in selecting post mas- i SEEKS TO GAIN HI - :"v>? v x ^ M| | | |b | ii< ? ?

He acted as a huma tors, the civil service commission sends to the postofllcc department the three names making: the highest marks, and this department delegates to Tolbert? the 'refer.ee*?the right to select whichever he chooses. These offices are not political ones, and in our state the patrons are not one per cent of Republicans, and the offices should he kept out of politics. However, under party rules, where they have a competent person, it is their privilege to appoint* them, and we have made no objection. "In these matters Tolbert has ruth lcssly ignored the spirit of the civil service and has refused to recommend parties making the highest marks, except in a very few eases. He has almost universally ignored the claims of ladies and ex-service men. Under the spirit of the civil service rules,-ex-soldiers should receive the preference, but this has had no weight with Tolbcrt, even ^vherg ^hejPihakl (he highest marks. He has endeavored to turn lady postmasters out where they have been in office many, many years, and where they have made the highest marks. Moreover, he has turned out many faithful officials?some who v ? 1 v* tKlo /InnnnlTTibrit fnr i mivr r>n \ ru m i'tio \u f??? i..?Vi.v practically 40 years, and ho named persons who wore totally without experience?and these not Republicans either. "In other words, ho has run rousrhshod over our people and seems to he drunk with the power of a little authority. "Worst of all. under previous administrations, I am informed that the 'referee' in our state sold patronage and that the universal charge was onehalf of the first year's salary, and it is now claimed, and generally believed, that this practice is in vogue; the proof j presented to mo is unquestionable on i larv tn .mnt ira/l io onTn'in/>infr hftVftnfl I the jHrrndventure of a doubt. The practice is to divide the state in districts and have some one in each district look after his part of the nefarious business.

A recent case was reported, where $1,200 was paid and the party failed to get the office, and after considerable wrangling the funs were returned. It is alleged that appointees to small offics often have to contribute. Rejected By Senate. "One of Tolbert's 'referees' was recently rejected by the senate because he endeavored to get a lady postmaster to pay him $300 to get her confirmed. An affidavit of one of his former followers states Tolbert admitted lie ex pectcd to realize $100,000 from this source. "I cannot condone the practice of buying an office, and if the competitors would cease bidding against eacli other, this most disgraceful practice wbuld be obliterated. However, they are to be pitied for beinfc forced to come in contact with such. a-cocnipt system. It can readily bJ seen that someone will have to till the office nny wo y. "Furthermore, I am, told by the best authorities that Tolbert is by no means in sympathy with the enforcement of the prohibition law, and even has bragged to this effect. It is shown by affidavit that he had a barrel of liquor at one time. Many of his associates arc among the most lawless class of our people, and it is commonly reported that ho has formed a political combination with certain parties in our state calling themselves Democrats, to create a political machine, with the view and for the purpose of undermining, disrupting and destroying the Democratic party. "it is generally believed that politics is rotten and I am sorry to admit there are some grounds for suc h opinions, particularly as to Republican adminis- ! trat ions, and it is incumbent upon me 1 and all other citizens who care for the : mainte nance and perpetuation of good J government to expose and obliterate : all fraud and corrupt practices in our ' power.

BOOZE PLOUGHED UP. 1,000 Quarts of Rum Turned Up In Pennsylvania. In Pennsylvania, Prohibition Director John T. Davis has become the "man wilh the plough." IIo and his agents are running furrows over a farm near Dogantun, in Clinton county, and so far they have turned up 35 barrels and more than 1,000 quarts of moonshine. Well digging as well as agriculture has contributed to Mr. Davis's detective methods, for he used a divining rod to locate the lfcjuor. He is still using it, for it is reported there arc a hundred or more live gallon jugs yet on the farm.
