KFVIEW OF THE MATTER
Attorney-General McKoyuolda lias
Selected Weeton for District Attorney
and Sims for Marshal, and if
President Wilson Names Others Ho
i
Will Havo to ltovorse Mclleynolds.
The Washington correspondent of
The News and Courier says "as it becomes
obvious that there is little
chance of tho early adoption of legislation
to give the State of South Carolina
two full equipped Federal judicial
districts, the pressure upon President
Wilson to go ahead and appoint
tho successors of District Attorney
Cochran and Marshal J. Duncan
Adams steadily increases." Tho
correspondent then goes on to give
tho following roview of the mattor:
"Some time ago tho department of
justice signified to tho incumbents
that tho Administration wished to
havo in thoir positions men who
would bo in sympathy with its policies,
and that for this reason tho resignations
of Messers. Cochran and
Adams would bo acceptable. Tho requost
was promptly complied with
In both cases, and it was naturally
thought that tho nominations of
Democratic successors would bo mado
within a few weeks.
"Prompt dispatch of the business
in hand was unquestionably tho intention
of tho President and tho At'
torney General. But for tho tremendous
fight mado by Senator Tillman

.. .. ?. W . ??VM? v i t (v u Wiiu X & UO IUU1I Vi
was about to nominate State Senator
Franh H. Weston for district Attorney,
it Is likely that the Attorney
General's recommendation of Mr.
Weston for that place and of Editor
J. L. Sims, of Orangeburg:, for the
marshalship would fong ago havo
been sent to the Senate with the approval
of the President.
"Learning what tlio recommendations
of the Attorney General would
probably be, Senator Tillman notified
the department of justice of his
withdrawal of tho endorsement of
Mr. Sims, thus leaving that gentleman
without any positive senatorial
backing, and proceeded to concentrate
.all of his strength and influence
behind the candidacy of his friend,
J. William Thurmond, of Edgefield,
for district atorney. Senator Tillman
informed tho department of justice
that as tho senior senator ho claimed
the right to choose which of tho two
positions should fall to him, and that
bo would take tho district attorneyship
and relinquish tho marshalship
to Senator Smith.
"Senator Smith however refused
to acquiesce in this arrangement, declaring
that he would adhere to his
original agreement not to oppose
Kims ir tho hotter should bo nominated.
Attorney General McReynolds
rooommondod Woston for district attorney
and Sims for marshal, and tho
President was just about to nominate
these two men when Senator Tillman'
Impassioned protest, reinforced
by powerful influences by no moans
confined to South Carolina, caused
tho president to agree to a delay
while an attompt was made to got the
Senators together by a plan to creato
another district attorneyship and
marshalshlp.
"In the opinion of the News and
at the beginning this plan for two
districts never had much chance of
success. It might bo put through tho
Sonato pretty easy, as both of tho
South Carolina Senators favored it;
but over on tho House sido tho situation
is different. With all the arguments
In favor of a new judicial district,
it is a long and tedious task to
/nduce Congress to agree to it.
"When Chairman Clayton, of tho
House committee on tho judiciary,
wrote to Attorney General McReynolds
for an opinion as to the merit
of the Aiken-Tillman bill, recently
introduced and nublished in the
News and Courier, tho reply was distinctly
unfavorable. Mr. McReynolds
expressed the view that the businea
expreaaed tho view that the huaineaa
of the State did not justify the establish
men t. of tho proposed new offices
at thia time. While there havo been
two districts in South Carolina theoretically
since 1823, the law has provided
official machinery for only one
-?and that condition is apt to continue
for some years more.
"Now, what, is President Wilson
going to do? Suppose Messrs. Cochran
and Adams should follow tho example
of their two Republican collloagues
in tho State of Pennsylvania,
whoso resignation had been submitted
on request, and insist on retiring
without further delay? Such a contingency
would bo embarassing to
tho Administration.
"Talk is beginning to bo heard
again of tho Josslbility that the President
will try to cut tho Oordian knot
by nominating a third man for district
attorney, in spite of tho known
agreement of Senators Tillman and
Smith that tho formber would endorse
Thurmond and tho latter would
endorse Weston, and that both would
stand for tho confirmation of either
of these two who might be nominated,
but against the confirmation of

"There is nothing against either

which makes it raoro difTlcult to deprive
them of their present advantage.
The outlook is hy no means encouraging
for a speedy or amicable
solution of the mess, which began
months ago when Senator Smith resented
tho action of Senator Tillman
in announcing the endorsement of a
candidate for each place?tho attorneyship
and the marshalship?with
out obtaining the acquiescence of the
junior senator. Senator Smith felt
that tho independent announcement
of Senator Tillman's endorsements
put him (Smith) at a disadvantage,
and in a position where it would be
easier for him to get hostility than
appreciation. For a whllo ho considered
endorsing a candidate for each 1
place; but finally he decided not to
put up any man for marshal and to
concentrate upon his candidate for

Throe BTiropean na'lons, Great
Britain, Germany and France, hare '
agreed to adopt no now policy toward
Mexico until tho government of
the United States can submit for their
consideration a definite plan for the
future treatment of the rovolutioutorn
republic in Central America.
That a requost of tho Powers to
await a proposal regarding Moxlcc
from this gorornmont had boon
made, and that tho three groat Kuropean
nations had yielded to tho request,
was announced late Tuesday
by Secretary Bryan.
President Wilson was en route to
Washington from the South w hen tho
announcement was made, and tlie

what would bo tho nature of tho contemplatod
negotiations with tho foregoing
governments. Tho President
arrived at Washington late Tuesday
night and planned to confer with Mr.
Bryan.
When the note to tho Powers is
to bo presented lias not been determined,
but tho belief prevails that
reasonable timo will ho given for tho
announcement from tho lluerta government
in Mexico, of tho result of
last Sunday's election for a new government.
That this announcement will bo
that the election of a now President
had failed, because of tho insufficiency
of the vote, still Is tho expectation
of officials at Washington and it is
believed Prosldent Wilson and his advisers
are proceeding on the theory
that some concerted movement must 1
be made by tho governments interested
in Mexico to rid that nation of
the domination of (len. lluerta.
Though intorest in this development
overshadowod all else in o"
clal circles at Washington, the fight
of CJcn. Felix Diaz from Vera Cruz
to refuge on the American gunboat
Wheeling was much discussed, and
Tuesday night Roar Admiral Fletcher
was notified by Secretary Bryan
that political refugees can bo shielded
only temporarily.
Admiral Fletcher, who is In command
of tho American ships in Mexican
waters, notified tho Washington
government early in the day that
nin1/ ?. 1 Hi i w r\ -
K I vu i M v; iiiVAU,<lli VJ1/ I I I JJcVIllt'IlM
and an American newspaper man,
had been granted the right of asylum
on the Wheeling after pleading that
their lives wero endangered. The
admiral asked for Instructions as to
their disposition.
The State department first instructed
him to inquire of Mexican refugees
where they wished to go. Later
the department notified the admiral
that within a reasonable timo they
must be transferred from the American
war vessel. They may be placed
aboard a commercial liner bound for
Havana or New York, as they choose.
It was believed that Diaz and his
friends would ask to be placed
aboard an American-bound ship and
that until such disposition could bo
made of them, Admiral Fletcher
would permit thom to remain aboard
one of tho United States ships In
Mexican waters.
As to the futuro treatment of Mexico
by tho United States and other
nations there has been much discussion,
both at Washington and abroad
since the election Sunday under supervision
of tho Iluerta provisional
government.
President Wilson, in two public
speeches, has outlined a general policy
of co-operation with all LatinAmerican
nations, and from Franco
and England have come assurances
of a doslro to co-operate with the
United States upon some concerted
effort to restore peace and good government
in Mexico. Germany, which
recently sent a war vessel to Mexican
waters, now has signified a dosire
to enter such a co-operative
peace-making enterprise.
That all the foreign nations are
looking to tho United States to take
the initiative is certain, and tho situation
presented makes it imperative
that this government submit a plan. '
There is much speculation as to what
is to ho proposed, but it is declared
to ho certain that whatever the plan,
it will demand the elimination of 1
ITuerta and tho government which
arose after the revolt against Madero,
and provide for a Mexican constitutional
election which can bo recog- 1
nized by the United States.
With Great Britain, Germany and;
Franco Joining tho United States in
a demand for Huerta's resignation,
and for a free and fair election, it
has been asserted confidently by high
ofhcials at Washington that ITuerta
would yield and that a new government
could be established without intervention.
This would necessitate a i
cessation of all hostilities and co-op
eratlon on tho part of Mexican revolutionists.

NOT IN SENATE FIGHT
?
LBV Ell HAH DECIDED NOT TO ENTEH
THE RACK.
Popular Congressman Will Remain
in the House as Chairman of Committee
on Agriculture.
That Congressman A. F. Lever will
announco that ho will not bo in the
Senatorial race, thus leaving the field
to Sonator E. D. Smith and Governor
nieaso, ia tho information sent to
Tho News and Courier from Its correspondent
In Columbia Saturday night
from a high and authoritative source.
It has been felt that Congressman
Lover had made up his mind not to
enter tho Senatorial raco, and the
confirmation of this came Saturday
according to tho correspondent, from
a sourco reliable and authoritativo.
The announcement from Congressman
Lovor has boon awaited for several
wooks. It ia known that strong
prossuro was brought to boar on him
to enter tho raco for the Sonato and It
was also reported from rollablo quarters
that Sonator Tillman was trying
to Induce Mr. Lover to run for the
upper house. It is known that Congressman
Lover consulted his friends
from all parts of the State and ho has
promised to make a public statement
beforo returning to Washington.
It is believed that Congressman
Lever will seek re-election in his district
to Congress for lie is very popular,
and being chairman of tho committee
on agriculture is a power in
tho House. It is also believed that
lie will stmifl fiw nlnoUon t" Uin t

now hold by Senator Tillman wlion
tlio next election for that seat comes
off. There has been some talk of
Congressman Lover as a possible candidate
for Governor, but it is not
thought that he has givon this latter
suggestion any serious consideration.
Tn fact, when approached about this
suggestion, Congressman Lever asked
where the talk was coming from
and apparently hadn't heard the matter
mentioned before. All of the members
of Congress from this State were
visitors at tho Fair as was Senator
Smith. Tho next Senatorial fight is
said to have been talked considerably.
That Congressman Lever would
have made the race for the Senate
against Governor Mease if Senator
Smith would have retired is also believed,
but Senator Smith is going to
make the fight. His friends think ho
can win, they say so in large numbers.
Friends of Congressman Lever,
some of them at least, told him that
if he entered tho Senatorial race with
Senator Smith and Governor Illease
ho would stand a good chance of being
sacrificed and would endanger
his whole political future. Some of
his most staunch supporters vigorously
opposed him entering the Senatorial
fight and then, too, they pointed
out tho general impression which
in their opinion is State-wide that
Mr. Lever is the natural and logical
man to take tho place of Senator Tillman
when ho retires from the Senate.
Mr. Lever is strong all over the
Stato and could make a good showing
in a race for the Senate even
against Senator Smith and Governor
Bleaso that every one admits. But
sorno of tho most prominent of his
supporters think it would ho political
suicide for his to go into tho flglit.

Though every official of the United

to maintain absolute silence while
the plans of the Washington administration
for solving the Mexican problem
aro worked out, it Sunday became
known that a supreme egort is
being made to bring about Clen. Uuorta's
retirement from the privstonal
presidency of Mexico.
The success of any plan for a constitutional
election that may be pro~

livioru, i-s(in uiiiY iiiHiiuir H WOUK1
contemplate participation by the f'onof
the United States government, on
the elimination of lluerta. Since he
promised to turn over the executive
power after an election, tlie American
government now is waiting for some
declaration on his part.
Should lluerta retire i 11 favor of
another there is a possibility that the
United States may attempt to compose
the situation through his successor.
Hut if elections are declared
invalid by lluerta, as ho may continue
in power, the Washington Administration,
it is pointed out, would
look upon such a proclamation as an
evidence of tho incapacity of tho provisional
authorities to conduct an
election and might come fortli with
definite proposals to assist in rehabilitating
the governmental machinery
of the country.
Just now the future policy of the
United States is being quietly and informally
made known in departmental
circles abroad and there are intimations
that before many days foreign
governments generally will be
apprised of the American attitude. It
is unlikely that there will be any publication
of the American policy until
Europe has formally been sounded.
What the United Status desires, it
is believed, is that the Powers shall
Indicate their support of its efforts
to solve the problem, so that it may
approach the Mexico flity administration
in a final effort to secure the
elimination of iiuerta. The conference
at Vera Cruz between John
Lind, President Wilson's personal
representative and the Russian, Norwegian
and German ministers lias not
been explained, but it ts thought to be
a part of the programme of enlisting
the support of the foreign governments.
The belief of many officials is that
if the United States can approach
Iiuerta with the united backing of the
nations of tho world, he might yield,
but. prominent Constitutionalists who
know Huerta's personality, declare
ho never will retire unless force is
used. One of tho phases of the situation
which is a subject of much comment
in the absence of official denial
of the many theories being published
every day forecasting intervention.
Such officials as were asked if they
would authorizo a denial that the
United States might use drastic measures
in case that Iiuerta refused to
yield, said they did not caro to say
anything at all.
Seceretary of tho Navy Daniels,
when asked conrornine tlin four Am_
erican ships oil tho oast coast of
Mexico, for whoso relief four other
ships are en routo from Hampton
Roads, declared that while transfer
ultimately was intended, the ships at
Vera Cruz had been notified not to
leave until ordered. He declared the
nevy department had not decided
when it would order the ships to return,
but that for the present seven
or eight America nwarships would bo
kept in and around Vera Cruz.
Though it had generally been supposed
the Tluerta government had
made no objection to the presence of
the American vessels beyond October
2fith, the date on which official permission
for them to stay expired, it
was learned that no intimation at nnv
timo had been conveyed to the United
States, through official channels
against the presence of tho ships.
That the forthcoming week will
produce tangible developments in the
departmental side of tho situation
confidently is expected. President Wilson,
Secretary Ilrynn and his advisers
constantly are occupied with tho numerous
phases of the situation and
are keeping in close touch with the
dispatches from Mexico. It is believed
that Tluerta's proclamation as to the
result of tho election on October 2 0
will be soon made, and developments
of a definite nature are then looked
for.
