IWP- ROBINSON,
fixort^?? AdmnVs with
wlil apnox?d
Senator Tillman
/ Warns Voter*;
(Continued From Pago. Ono.)
hope I may be permitted to say a few
. words about tho present situation
i'i our state without being mlsunder
stood. It gives ,llu deep concern,
am mortified and disappointed that
the. primary ?ystem has fulled to dov
>olop in tho people, sufficient political;
intelligence to enable them to escape j
thu wiles and tricks of demagogy
Audacity and aptitudo in repartee, I
coupled with a' striking personality, |
have made tho people an easy prey
Instead of candidates Icing compelled |
to discuss public qu?tions and poli
cies, they have been el io wed to make I
appeals to prejudice, and thc people,
blinded by these arts, have followed
and made heroes of men who arc
wholly unworthy. I have been and
still am, accused of Inaugurating this
method of campaigning. I challenge
the produotlon of a single speech of
mine wherein I doparted from the dis.
cusBion of public issues, or indu'r?i
in unparliamentary language until
forced to do so by unfair opponents.
The more bitter, opponents of the re
form movement began thc vitup?r?t*
tion and abuse that huvc marked
South Carolina- politics since 1890.
They answered argument with invec
tive; they greeted truth with howers
of mud and filth, and they, not I, muet
bear the responsibility.
T NO years ago I lamented tho same |
thing, and said I doubted whether I
had not made a mistake in giving the
people the ballot-and tcacnlng them
how to ur.a it. Dut I was impatient.
I herc roafllrm my confidence in Un
people-all the, people collectively. 1
believe that lite judgment of thc whol(t j
I people, rich and .poor, educated au?l
! ignorai t, high APO low, f- the surent ]
and tr jest guido to political action.
Their mistakes"will be fewer and will]
be mo.'e quickly monded than will
the err./r of any one class be lt ever)
I SO enlightened, i believe this go re
ligiously' that i would rather have a I
bad govornor, or a bad senator, elect
ed by all the people than a good one
elected hy nhy one class. The whol'
pooplo correct their blunders; tho!
rule of a das * tends to tho growth and |
perp?tuation of abu??-?. I have im
plicit faith that all the people of Soy th.
? Carolina . uro .-going to Btamp cut
Blensclsm sooner' or later. The
strongest Ul calcite"-' Will be loaders
as soon as they aro convinced tba
they have made - a -mistake. If I did
not bollcye this, I .would lose all faith
in soif government.}'
Jefferson's slogan was, "teach the
peop.iyt,and. tru^.thp people," To this
principle all patriots will' give cred
ence, and all democrats wli? gladly
i obey. When .the demagogue comes
along prid blinds ?the people by thc
glamour ot hia .net3. and instills dev
-. il try and pp)s.on 4 into their minds,]
j good cjtltepB mpstmot .despair, but re
I double their efforts; for the truth y
. moro powerful then falsehood and j
! musl rrovall in tho. long run.
Again I reaffirm', ody" faith In ' the
pooplo. Thu hattie between privilege
{and freedom, between- equalltv and
favoritism, is world .wide, and ageB
old, It has' brought the cataclysm
which wo aro witnessing In - Europe
today, i Tim people ' of'.that, continent
aro struggling ' to freo themselves
from- Wo shackles ot autocracy and
tho divine right ot kings. It is a bat
tle between autocracy and republican-1
ism. The contest In South Carolina In
1800 was -to overthrow an aristocrac;
which lind come down to un from co
lonial days. It v/ns ^ real revolution
in which families wcro divided, father.
{ dgafnst' t fSn, and . brother against
brother, showing that principle, abd
principle alone moved;, the people to
action. It was my high privilege to
leabf that movement^:which ernannt W
pated South Carolinians from the]
thralldom bf an oligarchy which bad
ruled j the. piste- tor m cpntu?y. That
wag my greatest work. I taught South
Carolinians, (d. know tbqir rights and
how. to : obtain those rights and tho]
state has. made marvelous progress iq |

in hiding it? What has he eyer done
in a constructive way,to benefit tba
