Washington, April 14-Some feat
lres of President Roosevelt's recep-
lion in South Carolina have spread

organization in that state. Before he

in Washington. Following close upon
the presidents heels came several

the president.
Judging by the tone OIL complaint of
these men, one might nave fancied
hat the president had changed his po-
itics while in South Carolina and
returned to Washington under the
complete domination and control of
he respectable democratic gentlemen
With whom he was agreeably associ
ated during MS visit to the Palmetto
State. Here is a sample of the state

republican leaders in South Carolina,

THE one disgusting feature of the
presidents southern trip" continued
the speaker, was the persistent effort
made by certain gentlemen in Char
lesion to discuss national politics with
the president, their object being to
poison his mind against recognized
leaders of the republican party In that
state to whom he must 4ook for sup
port when the time comes around for
selecting delegates to the presidential
nominating convention. 1t appears
that these gentlemen who were igur-
ing so consplcuously in the entertain
ment of the president and the mem
bers Of his party were encouraged by
the statement from .-le president that
in selecting persons for fedora. o.
nee IT would be his earnest endeavor
TO appoint the man best equipped for
the place, their political affiliations
being but a secondary Consideration
compared with personal merit and ef-

rules OF hospitality to tnelr distin-
guls'ned guest by continuing to discuss
political men and measures with him

might be cited. One of the cases which
appears to be causing much trouble
in the republican household is that OF
the selection of Mr.. Townsend to be
an assistant to District Attorney Cap
ers, in place of Mr.. Haygood. There
are indications that the president and
the attorney general will refuse to
sanction the appointment of Mr..
Townsend. There is no doubt that this
subject was mentioned to the presi-
dent and the attorney general while
tney were in Charleston. Some of
the statements made against Mr..
Townsends appointment and in fa-
