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.

Aly Dear General: Through your

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.

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

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
! "slackers" among the members of our

j Carolina shows that every one of our
j men did his duty.
They stand ready to do and perform

President I'rges Men From 18 to

Washington. ./Line / 20.?Preaiden
Wilson issued a proclamation toda:
designating the week of June 23-31
as recruiting week for the regula?
army and called upon unmarried mei
without deepndents to enroll for wa:
service in order that the ranks of th<
regulars might be filled promptly.
This was the president's first cal
for volunteers in the present war. Th<
proclamation follows:
"Proclamation by the president:
"I hereby designate the period o
June 23 to June 30, next, as recruit
I ing week for the regular army am
j call upon unmarried men between tin
! ages of 18 and 40 years, who havi
1 no dependents and who are not en
; gaged in pursuits vitally necessary t<
' the prosecution of the war, to presen
I themselves for enlistment during th<
' week herein designated to the num
ber of 7U 000.
(Signed) "Woodrow Wilson."
The president acted at the reques
| of army officials who have been se
f riously concerned over the slow rat'
j of recruiting for the regular army
| It had been hoped that the regula
| service could h? brought to its whol
; war strength of approximately 300.
J 000 men by July 30, which would havi
j permitted the war department to carr;
I out its plans in regard to the train

J also as to the dispatch of armies t<
j France. For several days, however
, the average enrollment for the arm,
I per day has been Jittle more thai
| 1,000 men instead of the 5,000 o
i more the department hoped to ob
| tain.
Today's recruiting bulletin show:
that since April 1, 121,363 men havi
been enrolled as war volunteers o
the 183,898 necessary to bring th<
service to war strength. The army
therefore, is now in the neighborhoo<
of 70.000 men short of war strength

sometime ago to turn the office over

to the county and nothing was said
about it. Xo one who knew Treasur

an intentional default, but if there was
a shortage, every one believed Sthat
it was a mistake some ,where.
