Special to The State Washington, Jan. 8?With a view to the preservation of the Democratic party and white supremacy in South' Carolina, B. B. Tillman, senior Senator from that State, has issued a statement calling on the legislature to take immediate action to safeguard the primary. He urges, among other ?J things, that the right of voting in the ^, primary be restricted to those who by their votes can support the nominees IB of the party in the general election. | Senator Tillman citC3 his fear that I the negrces may "be mobilized and led to the polls by white men" as one reason for calling on the legislature to pi event, high offices being made | "pawns in the game of politics, to be Dougnt oy tue nigiicst bidders." Senator Tillmanjabjures any selfish motive, saying that he does not exngl** pect ever again to ask the people to I vote for him in the primary, and | therefore he speaks because he e? knows*the danger. ? Feels ft a Duty. "I dislike to have the appearance | even of assuming the right to dictate 1 to the general assembly, and such is i not my purpose now. But for rea| sons unnecessary to enumerate, I Ifeel that I have a duty to perform in the present instance. "The "angry passions aroused last I i summer in the State campaign for ! governor have in a'measure subsided, i and the [people have cooled off. To > my mind there was great <* anger to | white supremacy and Democratic 1 unity which is now' happily passed, i But unless every possible safeguard is | thrown around the primary system | by law?rules and regulations made ) so plain and of such a just and rea1 sonable nature as to compel honesty J and fair play in the primary?the i system is doomed and the people of [ the State will settle their political j difference at the polls in November | just as they do now in all border and > Northern States. i "There are many people in South | Carolina who would be glad to see. ? [ wo white parties , in the State. Were > toonditions different, I myself would > like to have two white parties. But \ as things are now it would mean the k moDUization of tne negro and his ac| tive and aggressive return to State ( politics under white leadership. I mwm know of no calamity greater than ? this that could overtake our people. I speak advisedly, for I went through **** the Reconstruction period and know I) the degradation to which our people K sank, the rottenness and corruption 5 that were in our politics and made |5 our government a by-word and a hissjS ing; and I know how hard it was to K get the white men to line up shoulder I? to shoulder and throw off the yoke. J From 1868 to 1870 we had the vilest i< and most corruDfc ffovernment in !Sonth Carolina that has ever existed in any State of the Union, except Louisiana. Fears the Negro. "The negroes outnumber ns in South Carolina by more than 150,000 and a large number of them are either registered or eligible for registration. If they should ever be mobilized and led to the polls by white men, in the struggle for mastery and control, then we can never save the State from a repetition of even greater corruption than we have already endured. The State corporations and Standard Oil, to say nothing of the railroads, would use money lavishly and the governorship and the United States senatcrships. to say nothing of the congressional delegation, would become pawns in the game of politics !Bpe to be bought by the highest bidder, jjft} "The Democratic party of South Carolina when it ineGts again in convention will no doubt deal with this ; HI question, but tlie legislature ought to ??? deal with it now, at this coming ses sion, while the memory is fresh, and 1 knowledge of the intensity of feeling [ has not faded away. &ji "I can not and will not indicate i just what sort of a law the legislature 1 , i mL. ,1 1 i. i ?g OUgnt co pass, iuc uebajis muse iju B! worked out in committee. But I can and will outline the general policy which should govern us in this crisis. ^ Should be Honest. !r "First: The primary ought to be I honest and fair and above all suspic^jj "Second: No man ought to object 2^ to whatever expense and trouble are necessary to secure such registration lies and preparation cf the Democratic club rolls as will insure honesty and fair play. It xnu9t not be left to hazard and guess work. I "Third: Stringent rules and regulations are required. No man should participate in the primary to nominate who is not able to stand the test of registration to participate in the general election. ' The rules should be few, plain and 9imple, but they mu9t be enacted into law in order to compel compliance with them. Rigid punishment onght to be provided for any man who neglects to comply with all conditions and rales, or he onght to lose his vote. "An honest and fairly conducted primary can and will command the indorsement and support of all rightthinking white people; a dishonest one will command the support of nobody. We must either reform the primary system by law or see it die. No decent man will object or resist the rule of the majority fairly expressed. Let ns see to it that none but duly qualified citizens vote at the Democratic primary and danger of trouble will disappear. If we do not safeguard the primary system and make it above suspicion, good govern menu in me siare is ccomea. vve want no man in the Democratic primary who votes the Republican or other national ticket in the general election. "I write the above believing that I will never ask the people to vote for j e in another piimary, because I believe I will be dead before another senator to succeed me is elected. Therefore no charge of selfish or personal motives can be justly made against my taking the position I do. Tt, is snrelv because T know the dnn ger, haying passed through the crisis nce,^that I make bold to write this way. "B. R. TILLMAN." "Washington, Jan. 8, 1913."
