Tolber't poses as a large farm 'The larger so is tho moro economical, er', whereas the reCcord( In Greenwood county shows that he does not pay a cent of taxes, except a dollar poll tax and the redords in the municipal, state and the federal, courts-both on the civil and criminal side-show that his record in an unenviable one. I do not mean to say that it is necessary for a man to own property to hold office; far be it from me to take any such position, but Tolbert is sailing under false colors. "Mr. Tolbert's conduet since he has been appointed 'referee' has shown him to be a spoilsman of the worst class. For instance, under the prac tice of thih administration in select ing postmasters, the civil service com mission sends to the post office de partment the three names making the highest marks, and this department delegates to Tolbert-the :referee' - the right to select which ever he chooses. These offices are not political ones, and in our state; the patrons are not one per cent. of Republicans, and the offices should be kept out of poli tics. However, under party rules, where they have a competent person, it is their privilege to appoint them, and we have made no objection. "In these matters Toibert has ruth lessly ignored the spirit of the civil service and has refused to recom mend parties making the highest marks, except in a very few cases. He has almost universally ignored the claims of ladies and ex-service men. Unedr the spirit of .the civil service rules, ex-poldiers should receive the preference, but this had had no weight with Tolbert, even where they make the highest marks. He has en deavored to turn lady postmasters out where they have been in office many, many years, and where they have made the highest marks. Moreover, he has turned out many faithful of ficials-some who have served in this department for practically 40 years, and he named persons who were to tally without experience-and these not Republicans either. "In other words, he has run rough shod over our people and seems to be drunk with the power of a little au thority. --"Worst of all, under previous ad ministrations, I am informed that the 'referee' in our state sold patronage and that the universal charge was one half of the first year's salary, and it is now claimed, and generally believed, that this practice is in vogue; the proof presented to me is unquestion able on the subject and is convincing beyond the peradventure of a doubt. The practice is to divide the state in districts and have someone in each district look after this part of the nefarious business. I am told of many istances where the offices were sold -one bringing $750, another $1,200, another $600, another $2,000, and dif ferent sums al laround the state where was competition. A recent case was reported, where $1,200 was paid and the party failed to get the office, and after considerable wrangling, the funds were returned. It is alleged that appointees to small offices, often have to contribute. Rejected by Senate "One of Tolbert's 'referees' was re cently rejected by the senate because he cndeavored to get U lady postmas ter' to pay hini $300 to get her con firmed. An affidavit of one of his former followers states Trolbert ad mitted he expected to realize $100, 000 from this source.
