COLUMBIA, February 4.?Governor

Peeples over the appointment of an
Assistant Attorney General. The Gov
ernor says that the Attorney General
voluntarily came to him and told him
he wanted *c appoint an assistant who
wqb In harmony with the Governor
and who was agreeable to him. He
says th<3 promise was reacwed at the
office of Mr. Christie Benett and on
that occasion that the Attorney Gen
eral offered to "let me name the as
sistant attorney general," but the Gov.
ernor says he declined, saying that he
had no desire to do so. "You stated
then," seys the Governor in a letter to
he Attorney General, "that Mr. F.
H. Dominlck would not be your as
sistant again."
Slakes Appointment With Attorney
GeneraL
On the day of his inauguration the
Governor, says he telephoned the At
torney General and the latter came
to his rooms in the Jerome Hotel and
"-Again discussed the mutter with me
in the presence of Mr. Benet, who
had been present at the former, con
versation. At that time 'you -stated j to
us that to your great' embarrassment
you were not able to get Mr. Dominlck
to resign; that you had asked him to
resign last summer and again since
the campaign; that you had mutual
friends to go to htm and state that
he was embarrassing you and your
conduct of the office by insistiug on
retaining his position as your assist
ant; that you had not been able to
make him consent to'give ' up the of
fice, although you had hoped that he
would do so. You stated that Mr.
Bominlcki's work was not satisfac
tory; that ho had often toon absent
from the office without your consent
or even knowledge; that he had on
occasions left .the office on Friday
morning and stayed away until Tues
day night; that this was not satisfac
tory to you or the conduct of the busi
ness ci the office, but thai you were
powerless In the matter.'' The gover
nor then says that the Attorney Gen
eral suited that he tried to get Mr.
Dommick to resign last summer when
he was a candidate far Governor.
Several Letter Passed.
There are several .letters which
passed between the Governor and the
Attorney General over the matter. The
first was from the Governor calling
attention to the promise last summer
before election and of the appointment
by Mr. Peeples of Mr. Dominlck, "who
was a supporter of the policies of my
^ predecessor in this office." and the
Governor said that in Ute clrcumstan
cob be did not feel that ho could re
ly upon the Attorney General's office
for legal advice.
Termed Leiter Demand for DIsmlssaL
In reply. Attorney General Peoples
wrote the Governor setting forth that
his office -was a constitutional one,
?lective by the people, and he alone
had the right to name the assistant
Attorney General, and he terms the
Governor's letter , a practical demand
fdr the dismissal of Mr. Dominlck. He
4 told the Governor, that he was not
\ concerned with his policies but would
pass on such legal questions as were
submitted to htm \m .their, merits but
that he alone had the right to name
the assistant. He says in effect that
he Will not surrender the power, to
name the assistant to the Governor
and commends Mr. Dominlck for his
fairness, and says that In reflecting
him the people endorsed Mr. Domi
nick.
Was Not a Demand.
In reply the Governor wrote that he
did not make a demand on the Attor
ney General In naming U\? assistant
but was going oo the promise ft made
by the Attorney General that ho would
not appoint any assistant who .would
- be embarrasiug to him, tho OoVernor,
'-but would name one in sympathy with
hlft rr.-iHr.lna n-nA eol.l it.l.mant. tho
that he had tried to get rid of Mr.
Doinlnick but had failed.

Hon. ThomaB H. Peeple.i.
Attorney General, State House, Col
umbla, s. C.
Dear Sir:
In view of your present position In
reference to your appointment of-the
assistant attorney general I feel that
the; public should know all the facts
in connection .with this matter. It is
my purpose during my term in office
to keep the people of the State fully
advised regarding the conduct of af
fairs .in my office, and with. that end
in view I am giving out this state
ment.
No -thought of who would be y?ur
assistant or in fact, of anything; con
nected with your office had entered
my W>!nd until you yourself volun
tarily approached me after the Ander
son meeting last summer and stated
that you thought that I would be
elected ; and that if I were elected and
ou were re-elected that you intended
to act in entire harmony with me and
that your office would do all In Its
power .to further the success of my ad
ministration. I was surprised and
pleased at this evidence of interest on
your part and thanked you warmly
for It, but had no further conversation
with you about the matter until I had
received tbe nomination in the second
primary. At that time you had already
been - nominated for reelection in
the first primary.
When my nomination was assured,
recalling your voluntary statement at
Anderson' I phoned you asking you to
meet me at the office of Mr. Christie
Benet in Columbia. This you prompt
ly did. coming to his office as soon as
I telephoned you. In Mr. Benea'a pres
ence' I called to your attention the
conversation we had after the Ander
son,meeting and you re 11created what
you hod stated before, and you then,
to my suprlse, offered to let me'namo
the Assistant Attorney GeneraL This
I' flatly declined, stating that I had uo
desire to dp so. You stated that you
would appoint no one who was not
in harmony with me in the platform on
which 1 'was elected and that you
would submit to me names of the men
whom you were ccfhsiijering and
would appoint no one who wad objec
tlonable to me. You then stated that
Mr. Dominlck would hot be your as
sistant again; that you had consider
ed Mr. M. P. DeBruhl but thought bis
health was B?ch that ho was hot up
to the work, and that you - had other
names under advisement and would
confer with me again in regard to
the.appointment
I heard nothing further from you,
but on tho morning.of my inaugura
tion I phoned you asking for an ap
pointment with you 'for five o'clock
that afternoon in my room' at the Je
rome Hotel. At the outset of m y ad
ministration I was 1n urgent need of
legal Advice on a number of mattersV
Including ta* pending Asylum Investi
gation, the Orter to dlsband the mill
tie/ and other questions. You came to
my room at the Jerome Hotel at five
o'clock that afternoon and again dia
cussed the matter with me in the pr?s
enco of Mr. Benet. who had been pres
ent st the former conversation. At
that ' time you ~ stated to us \ that to
your great embarrassment 5vu wore
not able to, get Mr. Doinlnick to re
sign; that you. had naked him to re
sign last summer and again olnce the
campaign; that you had had mutual
friends to go to him -and state that
he was embarraealng you and:your
conduct of the office by insisting on re
taining his poa?tlon aa yout asai ?tant
that von bad riot been able to make
hlui consent to-giro up the office, al
Ujough you still hoped that he would
do so. Yob stated that Mr. Doralniok's
work was not satisfactory ; that he
had been Absent from tbe. of See With
out your consent or even knowledge
that he had On occasions .left the *f
floe on Friday morning and stayed
away until Tuesday ; night; that this
was not satisfactory to you nor to the
conduct of the business of the office,
but that you were powerless in the
tnaiter. You stated that when the cam
paign began last summer you had gone
to him and neked for his rc-bignaiion
op -.he grouud that you were in the
campaign yourself, that he was it can
didate for Congress and that inas
much as you had to make the State
tour with the campaign party, the of
fice of the Attorney General would
be closed unless your Assistant were
there; that he had declined to resign,
which had caused you great embar
rassment and had forced you to leave
the State campaign party a number
of times to attend to matters In the
office which absolutely required at
tention.
You again stated that you personal
ly were anxious to work In harmony
with my administration, but that you
could not get rid of Mr. Dominlck;
that you regretted this, and that you
still hoped the matter would work it
self out.
I have never intimated to you or to
anyone else that I wanted you to
appoint any particular man, nor do 1
now do so. You have an absolute right,
legal and otherwise, to appoint whom
>ou please; but in view of the volun
tary statements and assurances you
had made me, I wb3 glad to discuBS
the appointment with you; while in
view ' of the peculiar unBultableness
of the appointment of Mr. Dominlck,
I have a right to protest, not because
of any personal feeling against him,
but upon the grounds that Mr. Domin
lck, having been the law partner of
tbe former Governor, his campaign
manager and his close confident and
pariieun, political and otherwise,
would be opposed to the carrying out
of the changes in our government
which tbe peuple by their vote, last
August, ordered done. In considering
appointments distinction muBt be
made between those two offices where
tbe duties are of an administrative
character and thoje where the duties
are advisory. In the one case, differen
ces as to political association are not
especially important; in the other,
lack of sympathy and conviction
necessarily prohibit-cq-operatlon.
I am disappointed'that you do not
seem to realize the absolute necessity
of every branch of the' government
co-oper?ting fully with complete con
fidence, In order to put into effect the
expressed, mandates of the peopled
In frankness, I can but feel that you
could not be uninfluenced by the opin
ion and association of Mr. Dominlck in
matters submitted to your office, when
you have admitted to me that you had
asked htm to resign, but were hot
able to make him do so.
I am. giving out the correspondence
for publication.
Yours truly, _
RICHARD I. MANNING.
Should Appoint Man In Sympathy
With Administration.
January 21, 1915.
Hon. Thomas H. Peeples, Att'y. Gen.,
Columbia? S. C.
Dear Sir:
, As I have said to you heretofore, I
was elected, to tbe office of Governor
upon a platform In opposition to Ute
policies which have prevailed In this
office for the last four years, and
it, therefore, desirable that your assis
tant should, be a man In sympathy
with my policies. You have seen fit
to appoint Mr. Fred H. Dominlck your
assistant, who waB a supporter of the
policies of my predecessor In this of
fice.
In these circumstances I do not reel
that I can rely upon your office for
legal advice. I shall need legal advice
In the administration of my office, and
therefore shall be compelled to call
this matter -to the attention of the leg
islature for such action as they may
see fit to take, if you insist in making
this appointment
Please let me have your reply.
Very respectfully, \
RICHARD I. MANNING.
Governor.
Attorney General Terms Governor's
Letter Demand for Dismissal of
Assistant.
Columbia, 8. C, Jan. 22. 1916.
Hon. Richard L Manning.
Governor of South Carolina,
Columbia, 8. C
Sir: .
I am In receipt of your letter of the
21st lust, wherein you substantially,
If not expressly, demand that I shall
rescind the appointment made by me
ot Mr. Dominlck as my. assistant and
In'the event ! do hot, you practically
threaten to call my refusal to rescind
such order, and appoint such ' person
Chat will be satisfactory to what you
term your' ''00110100," to the attention
of the l?gislature for such action as
they may ??e. ?t to take.
. I shall endeavor to answer your let
ter, so surprising in Its character and
po disagreeable In Its tone, as cour
teously as my feelings will permit '
I had occasion to reply to a< letttr
Of yours, Inquiring as to what recom
mendations I would make in my re-:
>rt, so that you might Incorporate
em in some message designed by
you to bo aent to the Legislature. In
doing tro, I expressly declared to ran,
With great sincerity and candor the
I following sentiments: "I shall be glad/
at any time to confer with you upon
any of th?se subjects (alluded to to
my letter) and shall always be pleased
to carry'out any of the directions that
you, as Governor, shall make. within
the powers conferred upon yon' by the
coDr,iiuuion and statute jaws of our
State. With much regard and with a
sense of dut7 towards yon. aa the leg
al adviser of the oncers ot the State
and the head of the Department or
Justice or such state, and as that head
to serve you as the" Chief Executive
officer of the State. I remain, etc.
This statement then expressed. I
still ?r.tcrtttin and there will be rio *
effort lacking upon my part to per
form my duties and to cooperate, as to
the duties devolved upon me, with you
in any matter becoming our duty to
discuss or to take action upon.
By iiic constitutor, of this State,
Article IV. Section 24, it Is declared
that "thero shall be elected by the
qualified voters or the State
an Attorney General (and other offi
cers therein mentioned)
who shall hold their respective offices
for a term of years and until their
several succc^ors hare been chosen
and qualified; and whose duties and
compensations shall be prescribed by
law."
It is again, by Article V, Section 28.
declared: "There shall be an Attorney
General for ihc Stute, who shall per
form such duties as may be prescribed
by law. He shall be elected by the
qualified electors of the State for the
term of two years, and shall receive
for. his services such compensation as
shall be fixed by law."
By the Code of the Laws of 1912,
Vol. 1, Section 710, the Legislature,
In pursuance of the terms of the Con
stitution, enacted: . "The Attorney
General shall receive a salary at the
rate of nineteen hundred dollars per
annum and the Assistant Attorney
General, who shall be appointed by
the Attorney General, shall receive a
salary of thirteen hundred and fifty
dollars per annum." (since Increased.)
The powers and duties of the At
torney General are further provided
for in subsequent sections, to which
reference is asked to enable you to
have a clear comprehension of the
powers, duties and limitations of the
office I now hold and especial atten
tion is Invited to Section 717: "He
(Attorney General) shall, when re
quired by the Secretary of State,
Treasurer, Adjutant and Inspector
General, Comptroller General. Rail
road Commissioner, or other State of
ficer, consult and advise with them,
respectively, on questions of law, re
lating to their official business."
An examination of all of the Statu
tes and law relating to my office will
show, (aside from the duties devolved
upon the Attorney General a* cx-of
flcio member of certain boardB, which
he can exercise not by assistants but
personally) that it was never in con-1
templatlon nor within the purview of
tho Constitution or of any of the Acts
of the General Assembly to make the
office of Attorney General a.j legal ad
visor of the different departments, a
political one in the sense of having the
opinions, which It 1b the duty of the
Attorney General to render biased by
what you may term, or have termed,
your "pollcieB." or that of any officer I
of tho State to whom it is my duty to
give a legal opinion. It would be clear- I
ly an anomlnaly of law and good sense
to attompt to bias or prejudice the
view of the law in Its construction I
of the statute by the attorney generali
because of tbe political party or party
faction to which the Governor or any
officer ot the State may for the time
being bolong, I must, therefore, insist,I
and as long as I sm Attorney General I
will insist, upon giving my opinions
as to what I, conceive to be the law, [
whether It la. in sympathy with this,
that or any other party or partisan. I
would bo unworthy of the position, !
*ud so would any Other man, who
considers himself in the position of j
havin? to render opinions and advice j
to officers of the State except as he
conscientiously believes the law to
be, irrespective of all political poli
cies or other views.
it is quite true that you have taken
occasion to state to me, heretofore,
that you had been elected to the of-1
flee of Governor upon a platform in
opposition to the policies which have |
prevailed In the office of Governor for j
the last tour years. ThiB was a matter
of which I had no concern and have I
never entertained any. Tl|* advice J
given from this office,' whether by
myself or assistant, bears no color of}
faction or of party. My personal pref
erences, as to. who should bold office
in South Carolina, has never influen
ced or swayed the construction of any
Statute, or constitutional provision I
which has been submitted to me, nor
has the prescribed duties made by
Statute been view by me, when asked
as to their meaning and as to what ac-1
tton should he taken under the, even
been rendered in view ot any.policyI
which was thought best by th? Exe
cutive Officer.
It is further known to me that your
views, or. at least your expressions,
have been In accord with your prede-1
cessor'a in office, to whom you allude, I
and that your election may be con
s trued as an endorsement of this by
the majority, of, the people voting at
the primaries, and that you will b?
held responsible tor carrying out such
views, whatever they may be. I do not
profess to have made any careful
study of your platform or of your
speeches. While you may thus proper
ly indulge In - the idea, I must call
your attention to- the fact, that, hav-1
Ing served two years as Attorney
General, that I was elcted to my of-1
flee by a majority of the votes of the
qualified electors of the people, prob
ably by as many as you receiver*, and
I tndulugo the presumption that the
conduct of my.office, for the two years
In v/hicl I have held it, has been en
dorsed by-.the. majority of the peo
pie of Sou tu C^.oUnn, and that they
will hold me respoLslble for the pro
per conduct of my t fficc. -I am their I
servant. I certainly am not the ser
vant of the Governcr ot tho .State 1
Whoever ho may be.
For. marly fifty /ears, the Assist
ant ;ln tte office of the Attorney Gen
eral?-one tims designated as Clerk,?
now as Assistant Attorney General,
has-been considered a personal and
confidential ap jolntment?-tho . Attor
ney-General "?>elng entirely responsl- J
ble for eve: ything occuring in his of-1
flee...Ili?s l?gal, personal and other!
qualifications of such Assistant is a I
matter entirely that has heretofore,!
under all conditions and changes, been
considered to be the peculiar affair of
the Attorney General in making his
selection.
Mr. Dominlck has been my assist-1
ant-tor nearly the entire period that
I have been attorney general. The !
people In electing me.aa.I bare a!
right-to presume, endorsed him also
as an official in my offlco ?nd certainly
I heard throughout the entlro cam-1
palgn no objection made to-him. I
You now practically request me to!

selecting such assistant, given me
by the General Assembly, and to re
strict it to Buck person as may l:o in
"full sympathy with tny (your) per
sonal policies."
Admitting for a moment this claim
of yum n, mi oirice in any department,
judicial, legislative or otherwise, in
whom the Legislature has vested the
rigtu of appointment of assistants,
could hold office save by your grace
and by your command. For example,
the Secretary -of State. Comptroller
Genet al, and the State Treasurer, and
Stute Hoards which could he men
tioned.
As stated above, the express term of
the Statutes provides that I shall ren
der advice to the different officers ol
the State aod take appropriate action
in the premises. I should not have con
sidered It too much of an encroach
ment of my rights If. on account of
personal feelings which* you may have
towards Mr. Dominick. you had re
question that nil communications be
tween you and myself should be taken
up by me Individually, and that Mr.
Dominlck should not be brought into
contract with your offlrf. but the
slightest reflection Upon your puri, it
seems to me, would show you that the
terms of your letter is doing Mr.
Dominlck a personal injury, and mak
ing yourself the manager \>f my of
fice
I do not recall any statute which
fixes a 'definite period or term of of
fice of the assistant, but leave the at
torney general in position, if there be
objection made, or if he so desires, to
ask, at any time, for the (Hero follows
a line not logihlc?typewriter copy.)
that would justify my asking for his
resignation, to do so, and have some
one else appointed, but upon Buch a
statement?that he is not in sympathy
with your 'FolieleB." I cannot and
will not undertake to act. It is too
indefinite, (oo unfair and unjust, for
me to treat any onu, let alone a man
who haB been faithful in his work, and
who, I am glad to say, has met with
the approval and good opinion of the
Judiciary of the State, and who I do
not believe can be called incompetent
or who would fall below the average
predecessors.
Besides, the solicitors of the State
are a part of my department and act
under my instructions, and, I believe,
in some cases under yours directly.
They are elected by the people of
their several circuits. I do not say,
or undertake to say, that these gentle
men would not fulfill the duties of
their Oflices and respond to any call
that you might make upon them, or act
in full cooperation with me. The point
of your attack, however, seems only
to be directed against en assistant In
\\y office, who has no Initiative what
ever and who Is solely responsible to
me whose dutleB can bo circumscribed
or limited by me or whoso tenure of
office can i u terminated at any time
by me. I am sure, upon reflection, that
you will find no precedent for the de
mand you make upon me, historically
or politically.
With regard to the threat that you
make of bringing the matter to the
attention of be legislature?why* you
must take whatever course you see fit
about the matter; but I must suggest
to you that this method of expression
and tone of communication is not
pleasant and Is not characteristic of
proper official communications.
I have endeavored, as stated, to
divest myself of any feeling on this
subject, in making my reply to you. I
still desire to serve in the best way
1 can. the people who have done me
the honor to elect me to the office of
attorney general. I shall not at any
one's suggestion, lay down those
duties voluntarily, but will endeavor
feo maintain the rights of my office and
to perform its duties.
Please distinctly understand that I
am, as such attorney general, ready to
confer with you and to communicate
with you upon any question relating
to my office and the performance of
Its duties, as the law defines.
I have only one request to make of
you, which I have no doubt you will
gladly grant, should you communicate
with the general assembly upon the
subject matter of your letter, be kind
enough, to'incorporate a copy of your
letter to me and my reply thereto.

Dear Sir. I have your letter of
January 22nd. My letter to you of thp
21st inst., relating to the appointment
of the assistant attorney general, was
net intended to be, and was not, a de
mand upon yon ; ' nor was it an at -
tempt on my part to dictate whom you
should appoint as your assistant. My
letter was prompted and suggested by
the- conversations which you and
have had upon this subject.in which
you assured me that you would make
no appointments to that office without
a conference with me, and would ap
point no one who would be em bar
rassing to me, and, lastly,'that it was
tour desire-to appoint-some one who
rould be in harmony with my admin
istration.
I have never questioned your legal
right to appoint whom you pleased as
your assistant, but in view of what
had. heretofore passed between us,
was justified in assuming that ' you
would make no appointment that
would .embarrass me in my commun!
cations and intercourse with your of

In your letter of the 2nd'you. make

Hons which you have had'with mo In
regard to the appointment of your as

of all the facts, should occasion re
