SENATE REJECTS
HON, D. S. POLLOCK
fractional Politics Induce Sen
ator St. Clair to Fight
Pulaski Man.

1t was tho old story OF faotional poll
tics that cntered Into the fight on Hon.
D. 8. Pollock, OF Pulaski. in the Senate
yesterday, when that body rofused. By
an almost unanimous vote, to confirm
his nomination for superintendent OF
schools OF that county. to succeed Mr..
G. Guy Lnrew, resigned.
The session of the genate at which tho
nomination was rejected was executive,
and It listed for over an hour.
While nothing official was given out
concerning the details OF the session, 1t
Is understood that strong appeal
against confirma ton WAS made by Sena.
tor p, u st. Clair, of Giles. who. with
Delegate Stafford. OF the same county,
had recommended Mr.. l.. u. Dnrst for
the place, and that Senator D. Gardiner,
Tyler, OF Charles City. was the only
member who voted for confirmation.
When Senator ST., Clair was seen last
night regarding the natter, he was averse
to discussing 1t further than to say that
he had asked q hearing before the Board
OF Education, and had had no notice OF
the meeting. and that the appointment of
Mr.. Pollock was personally not agreeable
to him. He did not say that hTr. Pollock
was an improper man for superintendent,
but that Mr.. Darst would make q fine
officer, and was his choice and that OF
Mr.. Stafford. the House member.
1t Is not known what the Board will
do in the matter nor when the next meet.
ing will be held. but 1t is whispered about
that Mr.. Pollock will likely be renoml-
mated.
Politically. Mr.. Polloc1 and Senator st.
Clair are known to be far apart. The
latter trains with what Is known as the
Martin wing Of the party, while the
former has been a persistent advocate OF
the triumph OF the other faction.
Mr.. Pollock Is lawyer OF flne ability.
and was member OF the House Of Dele
gates in the session OF 1S9s-19co, and made
a very able speech In the Democratic
caucus nominating his friend Governor
Tyler, for United States Senator. He
was Democratic elector for the Ninth
District in 1896 and in the recent guber-
material campaign was an earnest adyo-
cato Of tho nominationLof Governor Mon
tgue.
The situation is very interesting one.
and tho outcome will be anxlously
awaited by the public.
