HENRY H. WATKINS CHOSEN FOR JUDGE Distinguished Up-Country Lawyer Selected Over Many Worthy Opponents. P. H. McGowan in The State. Washington, July 14:?The long fight of the vacancy on the bench of the federal court for the Western distr'ct of South Carolina was settled here today by the nomination of Henry H. Watkins, a well known lawyer of Anderson. From the beginning of the fight Mr. Watkins' friends have left nothing undone that would make his nomination certain and as intimated in IfliS CUMCSpuilUCUtc ocvciai vniivo, Mr. Watkins comes off the winner. A week ago the crisis in the situajt tion was reached. It then became apparent that the nomination lay between Mr. Watkins and Judge Thomas S. Sease of Spar/anburg, but a day or two ago it was announced as almost certain that Mr. Watkins would be selected. Today Senator Dial said: "I am satisfied that we have made an excellent recommendation. Mr. Watkins is a lawyer of splendid ability, a gentleman of highest standing and one who will do full credit to the federal bench. I know of no man whom we could have selected who would more worthily fill the place. I am sorry that other , good men could not get it but there was only one place to give and that has gone to Mr. Watkins." The senate judiciary committee / now takes this matter under advisement and Mr. Watkins, probably will be confirmed with the next week or ten days. Senator Dial has requested Chairman Nelson of the judiciary committee to expedite action upon the nomination of Captain Watkins of Western district of South Carolina. Ordinarily, the nomination witn otners received today from "the White House would lie over until the next regular meeting of the committee and then be referred to a subcommittee. Regarding various reports that have been current concerning the judgeship, Senator Dial today said: "Every man whose claims were presented to me had a fair showing before the department of justice. I filed all names that were submitted +.n m<a tncrpt/hpr with all recommen dations received. Some names and papers reached me earlier than others and the friends of some candidates made independent representasions directly to the department. All names were carefully considered after all had been^fited." - Senator Dial said that the matter had never, reached a stage at which it became necessary for him to declare whether or riot he would oppose the confirmation of any candidate.
