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.
