p* Bat Deep Mystery Surrounds Republican
Appointments in this State
Efforts to ascertain the names of
Republicans to whom the Harding
administration intends to hand its
South Carolina federal plums seem
about as successful as trying to pierce
a battleship turret with a pop-gun or
trying to get information out of Elihu
Root, says Lewis Wood, Washington
correspondent of the Columbia
Record.
Senator Dial has been trying to
find out. Senator Smith ha3 been
trying to find out. Rep. R. S. Whaley
of Charleston who plays golf
consistently with Bascorn Slemp
the lone Republican congressman
from Virginia, and high in the coun"
cila of hie party, llon't know. The
Republicans either don't know or
they won't tell. Your correspondent
has been messing about for
several weeks, trying to find some <
definite Republican prospects for
South Carolina, but haft be*.:: "*terly
unsuccessful. The situation
seems to be?but that can wait until
the paragraphs further down.
, Ttere are chief federal jobs
in South Carolina, now held as follows:
W. R. Bradley, collector of Internal
Revenue?$5,000.
Francis H. Weston, federal attorney
for the eastern district ?
$4,500.
- J. William Thurmond, federal attorney
for the Western district ?
$4,500.
James L. Sims, marshal for the
eastern district?$4,500.
Chas. J. Lyon, marshal for the
Western district?$4,500.
w. r . nooertson. prohibition enforcement
chief?$4,000.
Besides these, there are the assistant
federal attorney, paying
$2,500 each to J. Waites Waring and
C. G. Wyche, and the clerkships of
the federal courts, paying $3,500
each to David C. Durham and Richard
W. Hutson. There are all sorts
of attaches and deputies in all the
federal offices. Fred C. Peters, the
collector of customs at Charleston
receives $2,500. The two marshals
each have four deputies receiving
an aggregate of $5,900. In
all, there is perhaps $50,000 worth
of federal patronage in the state.
Now the question is who is going
to get this? And who is going to
dole out the jobs? Is the Republican
party going to try to rehabilitate
itself in South Carolina by appointing
men of character, or nearcharacter.
or iB it going to allow
the plums to be apportioned out by
the necktieless Jasper W. Talbert,
and his gang?
The be8t information your correspondent
can get is that Ben. A.
Hagwood of Charleston is well
thought of to succeed Frank Wes
ion, ana Hannan of Spartanburg to
follow Mr. Thurmond. Both the
Republicans named are good lawyers
and respected in Ssuth Carolina.
Mr. Hagwood is a national Republican,
but has not strictly adhered
to that party in state and
city affairs. The same is about true
of Mr. Hannan- He has been endorsed
by the Spartanburg bar ? if
the eastern district has to have a
Republican attorney. It is also said
that Ernest Cochran of Anderson
could have the job if he wanted it,
but he does not. Further than this,
no information, even speculative, is
.forthcoming.
A. theory is entertained here that
even the chiefs of the Republican
party have not determined their
policy in South Carolina, or in other
hidebound Democratic states, due
tA a flchl now wnlnw ??

Republican ranks. This conflict of
opinion is said to line up this way: I
A.?President-elect Harding, Basoom
Slemp, Senator. Fall a fine
Kentucky gentleman who represents
New Mexico in the Senate, and others
who realize that the only hope of
success the Republican party has in
the South is to clean up the discreditable
lements and to make lily white
appointments. Harding is said by
close friends to want to follow the
Taft policy that is to appoint no Individual
who is not acceptable to the
community.
B.?Harry M. Daugherty, Harding'g
close friend, Will Hayes, national
chairman of the Republican
!> > v/, <xnu umera. nays is said to
believe that keeping the Republican
party Intaet is the main end in
lew. Daugherty 1b a hard boiled
western polttican with three rows ot
teeth and hair on his chest. He is
the bird who stands behind Harding
when the easy-going, pleasant
president-elect vacillates, and says
"Aw, Warren buck up your spine
and tell 'en to go to Hell."
Harding is very anxious to invade
the Soath with the Republican party
and also anxious to abolish sectional
political lines. Even the Democrats
here give him credit for a sincere
Intention in that regard. They say,
too, that he has a chance, if he will
adhere to his realization that there is
to his realization that ther is only
only one way to do it and that is to
conciliate instead of antagonizing the
Southerners.
The South with its corporate interests
furnishes some field for Republican
doctrines, including the
protective tariff. In many Southern
states. Democrats long for political
competition, as a means of killing
a reign of demagoguery, and campaigns
which abound in personal
vllllflcation but which never touch
a national issue.
But will Harding be able to resist
the pressure of the old-line Republicans,
and carry out his own ideas?
If be does he may win something
in the South. If he goes back to the
<old seheme, the South will freeze
Against htm as It has done against
the other Republican presidents.
Tho common belief here is that
nothwithatandlng his good Intentions '
he will cave in, and succumb to the i
reactionary men in his party, and I
so Republicanism will gain some- i
thing in the Senth during the next,I
four years. 1
