I thank you tor it very warmly, in- th deed. f0 "Confidentially, the appropria- th tions committee is the committee on m which you would have the hardest j,j work, but your letter convinces me so that it is also the committee in th which your interest chiefly lies and w where you can certainly be of the greatest and most constant service. "Ever since 1 was a youngster I th have been deeply interested in our j methods of financial legislation ' tii Ever since then I have insisted upon j p, the absolute necessity of a carefully considered and wisely planned hud- al get, and one of the objects I shall have most in mind when I get to p.

Alluiles to Martin in llitter Hun- 1(1 at Kuage. al Washington, March 18.?"Sena- n< tor Martin, after making these vol- h< untary statements and pledges to se me, became a member of the steer- ei ing committee which has given him tl: my chairmanship. Fairness and de- m cency, it seems to me, required him cc to notify me of his change of mind vi and attitude towards me. He never k< at any time, expressed any uneasi- it ness about my health to me. Had I he done so, his conduct would not tc seem so despicable." d? This is the feature that stands pi out more prominently tliau anything m else in a statement issued to the ui press here today by Senator Till- pi man, this statement being in the d< speech he made before the senate w caucus last Saturday on the ques- si tion of committee assignment and the seniority rule, when he was refused the chairmanship of the committee on appropriations. ^ REFERS TO SERVICE. Senator Tillman then refers to ht the fact of his long service for the sii Democratic party and also to the af fact that he made his first speech in c-li the senate, which has been desig- ,1,. nated as "The Pitchfork Speech," si? before Bryan made his entitled the m "Cross of Gold." I Citing later events in the his- th tory of the party and the part he ca took in them, ho says he preached w? the true gospel ami had as much to ra do with the success of what is now y, called "progressiveness" as Ilryan be himself. That term, properly inter- w< preted in its essence, he says, is the in Chicago platform and nothing else, ou He declared that he did not ask <ia for sympathy, but for justice, that yo he wanted what he was entitled to, tli and nothing more. He then sub- Wi mitted a copy of a letter to Wood row m Wilson under date of January 21, 1913, telling of the work of the dif- to fereut committees and asking I'res- w| ident Wilson for his advice as to |<i which chairmanship he should se- ca cure. The reply Is as follows: vi T tied to and desired; and he lias i jver notified me that he had I | langed his feelings or purposes. [ nator Martin, after making these limitary statements and pledges to e, became a member of the steer- ^ , ,g committee which has given him (1 res y chairmanship. Fairness and de- ^ mcy, it seems to me, required him 4 f i notify me of his change of mind id attitude towards me. He never ; any time expressed any uneasi- on ?ss about my health to me. Had " ? done so, his conduct would not In 'em so despicable.
