TlLLMAN HANDS OFF IN GOVERNOR'S RACE YINATOR SAYS TE WONT HELP "A DAMN SOUL." 'Tells Augusta Chronitle Reporter He Will Run for Senator Even ii Dead. In an interriel wh Ir. John L. McWhorzer of tLe Augusta Chronicle, at his home in Trton, S-nator Till mar on Thursday said he was hands off in the co:est for governor. The Chroniele publishes the following: ' will be a candidate for reelection to the Unizd States senate.if I am alive and not nt ariculo-mort:s. Yes, by God, I believe if I am dead I'll let em vote for me a little anyhow.' "In this emphatic language Senator Benjamin Ryan Tillman sets forever at rest the cherished hopes of some, and the doubts of others, as to whether he will be in the L%nlted States sena torial race next year. Active on the Farm. "At his farm near TrentoK yester day, Senator Tillman 'talked the mat ter over' with a staff representative of the Chronicle, .and in language more or less Tillmane-sque, as the various phases demanded, stated that he be lieved he would be elected again with out trouble. "'It has been said often that I colild ,sit on my back porch and be reelected,' said he. '1 don't know why they al ways mention my back porch for the front porch is-much more cheerful and I use it the more, but I suppose they .mean to imply that I need not even show myself in the campaign and that my friends in South Caro'ina will see that I go back, if I want tr.' . "Senator Tillman was buy on isis farm, but he took ti4ne "o i.y this much. "To those who are fami*Ca., with the oft repeated statements as to his fa' ing health it may come as a surpri.., to knov that he sleeps well, eats hear tily, gives the whole farm his personal supepvision by walking and ' riding over it every day, in fact many times a day, dictates, his private and official letters to his secretary, and that his' mnind is as clear as a bell, and his old time fire of speech and manner blazes out at opportune times. The only 'real reminder of his past affliction is the cane he carries-and he sometimes' forgets that and gets along seemingly as well as with it. ' Death the Only Bar.I "Barring death, he will be in the race mi~cd he will make speeches too, and he -says he doesn't care who or how many? enter the- field. Any one has a right to offer who wishes to. Entirely Hands Off. 'Senator, it has been more than minted by some that you are encourag ing, and will back Governor- Blease * for l'e-election as governor, next sum mner.' The Chronicle wants to know directly from you, if you will give it, how ,much truth ther is in these hints and rumors?' was the direct question, asked Senator Tillman by the, repre sentative of the Chronicle. 'I am not going to help a damn' soul ini that race. I am going to be strictly hands off and neutral, and furthermore I have not give any oned any authority to say that I was r or against either of the candidates who h?ave anncsn}ep~d. *[ am not going to mix in it or have anything to do with it.' "The senator's attention was called to the story in yesterday morninig's br'ionicle, written by Col. Leon Green, a former newspaper man in South Carolina, in which it was stated that *Senator Tillman woard be a factor in the race, and he said that he did not see much in the story, but that 'was * probably written to draw me out.' He said that he did notJ know who in-! spired the story, but so far as the ref erences to his being a factor was con cerned he could only repeat what he had just said: That he was 'not going to be mixed up in it.' "Senator Tillmap, from his talk, is evidently of the opinion that neither Gbvernor Blease nor Mr. Justice Jones will win in a walk over the other." W BLEASE ON WATSON. 4overnor 'Says He hras Done Good1 Work for State-Nothing in Hiar mon Story. Columbia Record. "There will certainly be no change1 in the office until the expiration of 'Mr. Watson's term, and I doubt very much if there will be any then," said1 Governor Blease Friday, when asked: about the rumor that has been afloat< in official circles in the last few days : that Mr. James Norton, of Mullins, would be appointed commissioner of agriculture, commerce and industries, to succeed Co!. E. J. Watson, who has Teld the offce since March, 1904. "I do not eve.n know Ithat Mr. Norton It is an applicant for the position," said i i Governor Blease. "He was in my of fice a few days ago, but merely shook hands with me, and the office was not mentioned at !hat time. I really know nothing whatever of the newspaper ac counts which have been sent out about the appointment of Mr. Norton to the office. Mr. Watson has been doing very good work in his present position, and I do not know that there will be any change at all so far as I can tell at present, when Mr. WatsCn's term expires." Governor BEase eaid also that he had thought of offering this position to Mr. John G. Richards, Jr., but that the latter had been appointed railroad coinissioner, and he had n- Aone so. MIr. Norton. Mr. Norton has been in Columbia for the past few days, and his presence appears to have awaked rumors which I were afloat some months ago that he < would be appointed -uy Governor Blease t to succeed Col. Watson when the lat ter's term expires in the early part of f next year. Mr. Norton is a former t member of congress, and was for sev- t en years comptroller general of South I1 Carolina. He is at present editor rof the Messenger, published at Mullins. When asked concerning the rumors, Mr. Norton said he thought it best for him not to say anything for publica tion at this time, and that the rumors d which were in circulation did not ori- t ginate from him. Didn't "Promise the State." t Referring to a paragraph whicb has 1 been going the rounds of the Northern press, and which has been copied in V this State, that he had bad a confer- N ence with a party of supportera of f Governor Harmon "or the presidency, N while attending the Red MeCS co'IU cil in Cleveland, and that he "was t ready to promise that'South Caro3ina will support the Ohio goverro-," Gov ernor Blease said characteristically I that this was ."one of the biggest li'es - he had ever seen in a newspaper." He wished it to be stated, he said, that ihe had no conference whatever with sup porters of Harmon, in Cincinnati, and of course, that he did not promise Souith Carolina for narmon. "I am supporting Harmon for the gresidency, however," said Governor Blease, "and -will do all in my power to 3arry the State for him, even if it should hurt me in my race here." TILLNAN AND HIS PITCHFORKS. Purchases Implements in Columbia, Remov'ing W*rappers When Start-. ing on Homeward Trip. Columbia, Sept. 21.-Senator Till-, an spent today in Columbia on per sonal business, passing most of the tihe with his friend, Dr. Babcock. He: returned to his home at Trenton on the - fternoon train and carried with him: wo real pitchforks. The senator bought the pitchforks p-town and had them sent down to the un.ion station for him ?t train time. a hey were wrapped up in paper until o hey were unrecognizable, and when s e told Dr. Babcock what was in the a undle the doctor insisted they ought1 o o be unwrapped and carried openly byT the senator, so the paper was taen off and Pitchfork Ben toted the two 9 pitchorks home on the train without - ny concealment. Two of the sena tor's friends, Congressman Lever and Ir. R. I. Manning, happened to be t resent and assisted in the opening up ci f the characteristic package. It was s seen that the tines were tipped with s gold and the senator was twitted about B hoisting the gold standard, against: 0 cvhich he used to proclaim eloquently in the days of "16 to 1 or bust." Will be in Race. 9. But the senator is very much more interested these days in pitchforks, agricultural than pitchforks political. h news that there will be at least ne candidate to oppose him for re- of election, .Col. W. J. Talbert, does not tc seem to have disturbed him at all. E senator Tillman expects to stand fort1 re-election. He also expects to make: 1] at least a few speeches. The senator 0] enjoys meeting the people, and only I(i the strict orders of his physicians and in f Mrs. Tillman, who has always been w s chief adviser, have prevented him U irom going around more this summer.! S. [t is his determination to offer for a a ~ourth term in the senate. That may b e set down as certain. His Fourth Term. di If Senator Tillman is re-elected, or; te re-nominated in the 1912 primary, he vill on the 4th of March, 1913, begIn - is fourth term as senator from South Darolina. Having served as governor from 1891 to 1895,'he was first el'ected :o .the senate in 1894 to succeed Gen. fi< I. C. Butler and took his seat on 4th cc f March, 1895. He was re-elected in iF: [900 and again in 1906, both timeg ti< ~vithout opposition. Col. W. Jasper a. ralbert, formerly congressman, has nnounced he will be a candidate for 3enator next year, no matter who else C hat he will be a canaidate for senator f Senator Tillman is not in the race; therwise he will svek re-election as -overnor.
