Dial Continues Fight on Joe
Tolbert.
Laurens, Oct. 19.-Senator N. B.
Dial was this afternoon advised of
the recess appointment of Joseph W.
Tolbert as United States marshal
for the Western district of South
? . Carolina. Senator Dial has opposed
Tolbert's nomination from the first
and he indicated that he was not
through with the protest.
\ The senator wired District Judge
Watkins protesting the qualifying of
Tolbert, citing the fact that the ap
pointee has been convicted in the
United States courts of criminal
acts and in all probability he is dis
qualified to take the oath and hold
office under the constitution! The
senator also wired Gen. M. L. Bon
ham to take such steps as necessary
to prevent Tolbert from holding this
important* post. He pointed out to
General Bonham that unless Tolbert
has been pardoned, he can not quali
fy for the office and the senator says
that he does not know of any such
pardon having been granted. The
conviction of Tolbert referred to was
for alleged embezzlement and lar
ceny after trust according to the rec
ords, says- the senator. Sen. Dial says
that when Tolbert's nomination was
sent to the senate he objected to
confirmation whereupon the case was
referred to a subcommittee of three
members of the judiciary commit
tee. Charges were filed and the com
mittee was urged to have Tolbert
come before it for a hearing of the
case, as it was the intention of the
senator to cross-examine him before
the committee. A demand for a com
mittee proceeding was made several
times, but Mr. Tolbert did not ap
pear, although this was urged by the
senator.
Considering these grave charges,
says Senator Dial, which were un
answered and unanswerable, he con
siders it an outrage to the decent
people of South Carolina for the Re
publican administration to try to
force a man of such character on this
district and state.
Continuing, Senator Dial said that
if Judge Watkins allows Tolbert to
.qualify, possibly all his official acts
will be illegal. In the event, however,
that Tolbert is permitted to qualify,
the senator says he will do all in his
power to have the nomination reject
ed when it comes up in the senate for
confirmation.
. Washington, Oct. 19.-Joseph W.
Tolbert, whose nomination as mar
Green ville, Oct. 19.-Joseph War
ren Tolbert of Greenwood county,
Republican national committeeman,
has been appointed United States
marshal for the Western district of
South Carolina and will assume the
duties of that office as soon as he
files the usual bond.
He received a recess appointment
from President Harding and will
hold office for an undetermined pe
riod, pending the action of the
United States senate upon his nom
ination by the President, which re
mains unconfirmed, due to the oppo
sition of Senator N. B. Dial of this
state.
Information of Mr. Tolbert's ap
pointment was received here this
morning by federal officials, his com
mission having been forwarded by
the United States department of
justice to District Judge H. H. Wat
kins.
Mr. Tolbert, for many years, has
Jbeen the head of the Republican
party in this state and is a member
of the South Carolina Republican na
tional committee. When informed of
the appointment of Mr. Tolbert, the
incumbent, C. J. Lyon, said he had
no statement to make.
Dry Act to Stay, Says Pres
ident Harding.
Washington, Oct. 21.-The dry
act is on the statute books to stay
and America will never depart from
it, President Harding told a delega
tion of the Allied1 Christian Agencies
here today.
Some features of the law are diffi
cult of enforcement, he explained,
and are causing the government
some concern, but the spirit of pro
hibition will be carried out and there
will never be a return to the open
saloon or manufacture of liquor, he
declared. ,
When asked that the United States
do "its full duty to the rest of the
world," the president reiterated the
policy stated recently. He pointed
out that the United States is anxious
and willing to help, but cannot be
drawn into the politics of the old
world.
