As Republican national committeeman for South Carolina, John G. Capers feels responsible for the character and competence of the federal office holders in his state. He has recommended the appointment of L. W. C. Blalock as collector of internal revenue. Blalock has many endorsements, including from Senator McLaurin. However, Blalock has not received the appointment and Capers would like to know if President Roosevelt has decided that Blalock cannot be appointed.
