Tillman for President. "Savoyard" Thinks he would Make a Fine Executive. ''Savoyard," the well known Washington correspondent, writes: Ben Tillman is blufF, blunt, hbnest, intensely Southern and intensely American. lie can get more votes in Wisconsin, II i linois, Iowa, Indiana and Minnesotathan William Jennings Bry j an or William Randolph Hearst j and 1 make no doubt that against the man the Republicans are! likely to nominate he can get a batch of electoral votes out oi that squad. And why not? His only fault is that he speaks the truth. Can you find other in him? I have tried and failed. Will some gentleman put me on track of one? There he is, standing up before the American peo pie, his heart on his sleeves, and all can see that he would not flatter Neptune for his trident nor Jove for his power to thunder. He, too, would carry a big stick and a deck of cards. Not as able a man as Bailey, perhaps ; not as cultured a man as Williams, certainly not as sef-poised as Culberson, manifestly; he has more of the human in him than any of them, and with him Christ would have sat at meat. It every voter of the United States knew Ben Tillman by hand graf-p, had rubbed up against him, felt his splendid personality, realized his wonderful individuality, he would be the next President of the United States as sure as the American people put character above place. As I said at the outset, the Democratic party is invincible when it is united and impotent l-it i i >vxiou iv is uiviueu. it mis ueeii demonstrated that Mr. Bryan can not unite it. It was shown that Judge Parker could not unite it. It is clear that Mr. Llearst can not unite it. Any man at the North who would vote tor any of these three would vote tor Ben Tillman? that is to say, unless Mr. llearst should run as an Independence League candidate, as he probably will. And if he does he will poll as many Republican votes as he will Democrats. Certain it is, the country is tired, the times are out of joint. For the Republican party the returns are ominous. The election was not a vote of confidence in even the Roosevelt administr^t irtfl onrtuinlu ? ? ^ - v *?? ??/?i i/ui i/f?i ii i y llUl ' ! I 11 U ' I ( O. P. It is also here that the ret urns aay to the Democrats in every language and in every dialect of every language: '-Von are too big a fool to be given place and power at this time. Put Hen Tillman on a safe and sane platform and let him tour the North, spitting out the truth, as only he can do it, and we would see a good may things in the returns you wot not of. Truth is mighty. Let us I)e mocrats try it, only for a change. Made Happy for Life. Great happiness came into the home of 8. O Blair, school superintendent, at M.1 Albans, W.
