ular with Leaders in
Washington

Columbia, May 19.-Considerable
interest is being taken throughout
the state in the plans of the Repub-
lican party for the formation OF
new party in South Carolina and
Gergia. According to prominent Re
publicans of Columbia, these plans
will take definite shape at the meet
ing, of the National Republican ex-
ecutive committee in Washington on
June s. A preliminary meeting Of
Republican leaders viii be held on
May 25th, in Washington, it is stated,
and a number of South Carolinians
say they are to attend this meeting.
Ii is said that definite announcement
of the plans Of the G. O. P. for the
new party in this state Will be made
following the meeting on the 25th.
Joseph w. Tolbert, Of Greenwood,
national committeeman Of the Re-
publican party, is now in Washington
looking after his interests in connec-
ton with the fruit on the G. o. P.
plum tree. Reports from Greenville
"a few days ago. to the effect that A.
"A. Oates, prominent Republican OF
that city, had been appointed post
master at Greenville, and that J. Z.
Cochran had been given the postmas-
tership at Anderson, were denied in
telegrapllic advices received from
Washington Wednesday, these being
to the effect that these two men had
not been appointed and that other
of the names endorsed by Tolbert
l><;, 81
vices state that the Republican lead
ers are making earnest efforts to find
Republican leader IN South Carolina
to whom the administration can turn
instead of Tolbert, but SO far this ef-
fort has not been successful" 1t is
also stated that the Republican chiefs
are searching for names in connec-
ton with some Of the plums for
which Tolbert has set his basket
that will reflect more credit on
their party than those Of the Tolbert
clan"
TheEe--iSAaauc.b speeulation being
INDUCED in in political and official
circles in Columbia and other parts
of the state as to what procedure
the Republican party Will follow, if
it does determine on June Sth to
launch an entirely new party in
South Carolina and Georgia. There
are many political wise ones who say
that it can't be done, while on the
other hand there are many in the old
Democratic state of South Carolina
who sly openly that they would join
such party as is proposed. if it can
be formed. The outcome Of the sit
uation is awaited with much interest.
