' TWICE A W7EK, $2.00 A YEAR FORMP !,!)rCFn'"i'T CHIEF JUSTICE WILLIAM HOWARD TAFT TO ufah uir.wr'sT rmir?T 111^ ril/ & V V/ V/ I\ 1 Only Four Votes Cast in Ne^alivc With Three Score in ? Favcr Washington, June 'JO.? Former President William Howard Taft was nominated iate today by President Harding to be chief justice of ^ -United States and his nomination was confirmed by the senate in executive session. Tho nomination was not f^Piirmedi without opposition, however, and^ai roll call was demanded. The opposition was understood to have been voiced by Senator Borah, Idaho, Johnson, California, and La Follette, Wis-1 consin, all Republicans, who were, said to have criticised Mr. Taft's record and his nomination. On the roll call, however, only four j votes were cast against confirmation. These were Senators Borah, John-; sand and LaFollette, and Senator, Watson, Democrat, Georgia. The final vote was 60 to 4. An I agreement was reached not to make a public roll call. The senate's doors were closed for . discussion of the nomination after1 snp-cestions that Mr. Taft be con ^ OO firmed in open executive session, bocause he is a forn er president had been rejected by opponents. Sena tors Borah and Johnson led the fu'hl on the floor in opposition to Mr. Tafi, while he was defended by about a' dozen senators, including Knox. Pennsylvania; Kellogg of Minnesota and , Willis of Ohio. Renublicam:, and I n- ; { derwood of Alabama, Democrat min-; ority leader; Smith of California. ' Overman of North Carolina, and Broussard of Louisiana Democrats. | Senators. Bora^ and Johnson were ! understood to have centered their! fight on Mr. Tatt's legal trainmir, ex-1 perience and'qualifications. Accord-1 ing to reports filtering out from the | senate chamber, Senator Johnson j was said <.0 have declared tlfat Mr. j Taft's appointment was "purejy polit- J ical." A similar charge, it was re-; ported, was made by Senator i'orah. Senator Johnson, it was stated, as-; serted that Mr. Taft had not regard-' ed himself as a lawyer but as a p:>!i-j tician and had "abandoned" hi> pro-j fession after leaving the White Hou:v. | The California senator, it was rep:?rt-j ed, said he had tried to disregard per-! sonal objections to the nominee and,' was voicing his opposition sol-.dy be- j cause Mr. Taft had lacked, for nearly) a generation or more, any legal ex- : perience which would fit him for ihe ' highest judicial post of the nation. Reference was made, it wa s:iid. by Senator Borah to the "drafting" , from the supreme bench by the Ite? i- r o f.,,.,. TJ;lc,feo; puoiican ['a! i\ wi oi'v iri?u > . to become the presidents. 1 candidate of the Republican party. In this connection it was stated that Mr. I>> :: i made the statement that, "having taken an able lawyer from the supreme bench four years ajro, a.* <1 made a politician of him. it was now proposed to take a politician a man irrUr* V,rj )*;if { it*a 11V M S ma win/ liar* mv ? v v\ v? ^ , ture life to politics- and put 'r.im or: the supreme Wnch in the interest of party politics." The defense of Mr. Tafi, it was said, was led hy Democrats. Sviia* '4T'nderwood said thai Mr. Tnft had made himself "bel ?ved by the Soutn. adding that this sen: i-r.eri W;S 111: largely to Mr. Taf' s aopovitmenl when president of a Southerner, t1'" late Thief .lustre Whit", to the h est judicial position of the cou"-r\.

Charleston, July 1.?An interestig ceremony was held this afternoon i the taking over oy tne L-nariestou anitary and drainage commission rom the Charleston Bridge company f the Ashley river bridge, which, 'ith its predecessors, has been a toll rossing for 113 years, the original harter of the company being issued i 1808. The formal transfer of the eed was made at noon, payment beig $85,000 in 4 1-2 per cent county onds accepted by the sellers in lieu f cash. At 1 o'clock, representaives of the drainage commission, hamber of commerce, coastal highway committee, auto club, and autolotive trade association, assembled t the bridge to "christen" the proprty, now publicly owped and a free ridge for the first? time in many genrations. Several -Jbrief addresses /ere made, the trend of which was / o stress the importance of this link n county highway development beng free to the public, and to emphaize that the next step must be the eplacing of this wooden structure rith one of steel and concrete. The resent bridge was built in 1886, preious bridges having been burned, or estroyed by storms on more than ne occasion. Several times since, torms have damaged the structure everely. Recently a considerable um of money was expended in pitting the bridge into good repair. Uong with the transfer of the prop:rty came t|ie announcement that Governor Cooper had "pardoned" he bridge and remitted a fine of >3,000 imposed on the owners for inerrupting traffic in violation of state tatute. This made it unnecessary or the county to take money out of >ne pocket to put into another, in >aying the fine. By way of maKing t evident that the bridge was free, he commissioners, after the speakng, assisted by others present, tore lown the toll pates and carried away >arts of the barrier as souvenirs, "he Ashley river bridge is on the oastal highway route, and gives acess to Charleston to those living in he island trucking sections.
