iSDYV.mOli OVERRIDES LAW TO APPOINT ( inEF WARDEN "Columbia, March 28.?For the fourth time within 13 months, Governor Manning today overrode the lavd? South Carolina in appointing Mr. Wade Hampton Giobes of Columbia, efciet game warden of South Carolina. The first appointment by the gover. aor of 'Mr. Gibbes was on February 1917 . The governor himself was "arced to the reluctant conclusion -*hat this appointment was illegal, for ihe reason that Colonel Richardson's term had not expired by a few days, -and on March 8, 1917^ he himself repealled and revoked the appointment rand Ttade another appointment. "The state supreme court, in its de. ?ci8ion in the case of Gib^es vs. Richardson, forced him to th~> :o^ U'sio;tbat his aopointment of March 8 was Illegal, in tha*- :t ~*as not made upon ifte recrnEoenrtation of the Audubon society of South Carolina. The governor then waited until July 27, when he made a "recess" appointment of Mr. Gibb^s, upon the recom- j ?&endation of a r 'nip convention o? ' tie Audubon society. Cnder the supreme. court decision -2.3d under the statute, the governor's appointee must be confirmed by the ?enate. The last senate failed to con- j firm Mr. Gibbes, and the sjovernori Ttow again has appointed him, in the iace of the statute, of the supreme crcrart decision, of the failure of the senate to confirm and without a recommendation of the seciety. Section 747 of the criminal code of South Uaroiina provides: ^Should the governor or the senate r?t approve any nomination sent them fby the Audubon society of South Carolina for the appointment of a -rhief game warden), the name shall 'it* returned to the said Audubon society of South Carolina until a per=;^n suitable to both the governor and ?>e senate shall have been named." The sovernor. trampling this statute Tnder foot, has appointed Mr. Gibbe3 strain. notwithstanding the failure of fiie senate to confirm him. and "with'ort havinjr returned his name to the "Audubon societv of South Carolina. ! . _ x ? ! -in a recent, opinion, uue aituru^j , / -general of South -Carolina, since the faflnre of the senate*to confirm Mr, j "Gtfbbes, held: j "Construing section <47 of the crim~~al code with and in the light of the' decision in the case abov* -roforrcrj to.'

'^bbe? totov. the erovernor concedes ! * hat >>'-5 l<ist previous appointment' \jras since the senate adjourn- j anrl vet. has continued Mr. Gibbes ;n offirck writ'i this time, even without .3Ti effort *o reappoint. *Tb/?re has probably n<>ver in ' the "historv of a Democratic adminfa- ' tration in South Carolina a more determined overriding of the law and o? "he legislature bv a governor. The 'legislature of 1916 passed an act making the chief game warden elective by the general assembly. The governor this act until the session of 1917. when he vetoed it. The legislature of 1917 then passed an act making thv> .'. iiief game warden elective hy the people. The Governor also vetoed this act. and upon his veto no actios has yet been talcen by the legislature. At the .recent session of the general rassembly another bill went through ' fhe senate /Placing: the election <o? chief game warden in the hands of the legislature, but. adournment pre-; Tented its coming up in the house. Having thwarted the will of two -sessions of the legislature by the ex- 1 ercase of the veto power, used to kepn , the appointment of chief game warden in his own hands, the governor now , for the fourth time disregards the . letter of the law in the manner :>! making the appointment. vUl?\was stated today that the Gibbes ! faction of the Audubon society o? - South Carolina had been recognized "by fhe National Audubon society, and it was contended that this recognition made th.e rump convention legal for the purposes of the anointment of July 27, 1917. The Audubon society of South Carolina, however, is an organization chartered under the laws of this state. wit> certain duties re quired of it by the statute law of the *tate. and the National Audubon so--t^vety could hardly nullify the statute / of South Carolina and the opinions of the supreme court. However, cnai'is -a matter foreign to the appoint menx made today, ana is completely out of the question, for the reason ihat today's appointment concedes X;:ar the appointment of July 27 was voided some seven weeks ago. upon the adjournment of the legislature, -e'on if. it had been le-jal when made.
