County Exemp Recommend The Names for Newberry an \ gans and Dr. J. M. Kibler Files Protest?Appoin Columbia, June 20. ? "As to the nominations by Governor Manning of the exemption boards for this t tate, after a thorough examination of the same, I find that in nearly every coun ty the board composed of the most extreme, the most unpartsan, and the most bitter memoers or wnat is Known as the Conservatives, or anti-Reform faction of our state," said Former Governor Blease, upon his return to Columbia from Washington today. "'These are exactly the words I used in an argument which I made before General Crowder," he said, "and I submitted that the War Department should at least see that the officers named as xne normal i>uarus suuum be appointed in South Carolina." Something Furtner. Governor BJease returned to Colum bia on a delayed train. He stated that he would have something further to say about his trip tomorrow. He furnished the Columbia correspondent of the Charleston American with a list of the nominations maae Dy wvemor Manning,, which are given herewith. The following written protest, in ad dition to his verbal protest, was filed with Provost Marshal General Crow <Jer by former Governor Blease: The Protest. June 19, 1917. General Enoch H. Crowder, Judge Advocate General, 'Washington, D. C. Aly Dear General: Through your kindness, as chairman of the com mittee appointed by the Reform Cmith Pornlino T havp la^nvu ui i^uuui a u?< > been permitted to see a list of the nominations for the local exemp tion boards for South Carolina, made by Governor Manning of that state. <&iii Under the regulations issued by the War Department it was provid ed that the normal county boards of registration be composed of the sheriff, county clerk and county physician, and in cases where it was not practicable to so constitute the board, the governor was authoriz ed to name other local authorities. " *v.a nnnrtmtmQnt nf thoco 1 nr?Q 1 rpf -Hi IXiC a^fuuiuuvub VI I.UVWV . oa istration boards in South Carolina, the normal plan suggested was not followed, and only one officer sug gested on that normal board, namely the clerk of court, was appointed by the governor of oSuth Carolina. In stead, a civilian, was appointed for such local board as the executive of ficer thereof, and not the sheriff; and ni?r>p nf the countv Dhvsician in county, the probate judge was appointed. Sot 1)016. Protest was made as to these ap pointments by the committee of which I have the honor to be chair man. And when this protest was fil ed, my recollection was that I was ad vised by you that it was hoped that the registration boards appointed throughout the country would so con duct their duties that they could be named as the exemption boarus. This was not done in the case of the nominations made for the exemption v " ?? Cnnt-Vi Pomlirio onH in nominations the probate judges of the respective counties have been drop ped, and local doctors and not coun ty physicians have 'been placed in their stead. If the appointment of these boards had been made in ac cordance with the regulations gener ally laid down by the War Depart ment. I nor my committee nor mv party would have had a single com plaint to make, on account of the fact that the members of the proposed board were the duly elected represen tatives of the respective counties in our state. For what reason the "nor mal board" was not appointed in South Carolina we have not been officially aavisea. Extreme. As to the nominations on the ex emption boards, after a thorough in vestigation of the same, I find that in nearly every county the board is com posed of the most extreme, the most Dartisan and the most bitter mem "bers of what is known as the conser vative, or anti-reform, faction of our state. I have been informed that it would ibe the policy of the War Department to see that the registration boards and the exemption boards would be composed of men who would not be partisan but would treat all alike. I do not consider the boards as nomi nated composed of such men as should be upon an exemption board to pass uroii the very serious and grave questions that will be present ed to them. By People, I most respectfully submit t hat the "War Department should at least see that the officers named as the "normal Awards" should be appointed in South Carolina, that is: the sheriff, the tion Boards led by Manning DarfiV^ /nAn ^ Clr\a ^ 1 f V# & ivw?i? w* x# ?Former Governor Blease tments Not Yet Made. * county clerk and the county physi cian?officers -who have been elected by the people of tehir respective counties and who hold their confi dence. If this policy will not be fol lowed, then we respectfully submit that, as the representatives of at least one-half of the white people of South Carolina, w^e snail oe allowed to name at least one member of each, exemption board in the respective counties. I hope that the department will see fit to grant one of those re n:ioc!tc If thia ie nnt rinnp nrnl tbf* boards are appointed as now submit ted and there should arise any seri ous difficulty, which we hope will not arise, the responsibility will rest up ! on the War Department and our pres j ent governor and not upon us, or oui people. For the reasons given, we respect . fully enter our most solemn protest against the nominations made for | South Carolina. Did Duty, i We assured you at the personal ! conference had with you on the 17th I day om May that there would be no !
