SENATOR MOORE'S POSITION.
Senator William T. Moore. OF sus-
sex county, takes exception TO certain
editorial criticism to which he has
been subjected because Of his refusal
to consent to the confirmation OF the
appointment Of Roman Tammany as
superintendent OF free schools tsr suB-
sex county.
"The papers which cnticlse me do
not understand the situation or the
circumstances ,eaiing thereto" he said
20 your correspondent this morning.
This is not fight for the sake OF a
fight, but fight for a principle. Gov
ernor Tunnel practically assured me
that Mr.. Knowles would be reappoint-
ed He said that he had never heard
to his discredlt, and that he
was avese TO changing the superln-
tendents often, believing that IL would
work to the detriment OF the public
school system. After giving me such
assurances, and after reappointing the
superintendent OF schools OF New Cas-
lie county for a fourth year and the
Kent superintendent for a seventh
year he turned down Mr.. Knowles for
third year without giving any rea-
son whatever for his action. and after
leading me to believe that he would
do just the reverse. It was a reflection
upon Mr. Knowles, and Il was i'm
proper treatment OF me. These news
papers which are crltlcising my coume
not only do not the situation,
but they evidently do nSt understand
the constitutional and statutory law
bearing on the case. They declare
that the governor Will nov wait until
the General Assembly adjournB and
then reappoint Mr. Tammany. II they
will look up the law governing his
action they will find that he has to
make the appointment the second
in February. The office car
ries with It fees and emolumente In
excess o. the sum OF $500 annually,
and under the Constitution he must
submit the appointment to the Senate
for confirmation. II the appointment
Is turned down by the Senate I do mot
believe that he will endeavor to vio-
late both the letter and the spirit Of
the Constitution by playing a waiting
game with the Senate, and then ap-
point Mr.. Tammany again after the
General Assembly has adjourned. The
Constitution must mean something"
RAISE FOR THE COCIETY.
