Political Tensions Rise Over Taft Appointee and Senate Critique
South Carolina Senators challenge an official appointed by Taft, calling Neil's report on southern conditions inaccurate. Senator Tilman, nicknamed Pitchfork Ben, likens the situation to biblical drought and hunger, while praising a herdsman. In Washington, President Wilson’s honorary Chevy Chase Club snub ends with no offense intended, as he will join by payment. Washington society welcomes daughters of cabinet officers, including Mona McAdoo, amid active cultural pursuits. Local notes report Mrs. Hanks ill near Purdin, a Junior play trip to Linneus, and Clayton Tatershall buying a barber shop.
