WIHY SEN. TILL3AN IS NEYtPAL. "But, if Torn Feldei, or A ybody Else, Proves-Aetually Proves-Blease is Crooked, I'll Fight Him." (John L. McWhotter ih Augusta Chronicle). "The statement given by Governor Dlea'se at Barnweli Tuesday contains nothing new to me; for it is only a of a letter wrote him re cently, a. in which I wrote nothing to lead h.:n to believe that I had any ienti:on of doing otherwise in the Qpr::.-'-ng gub1ernatorial contest, than I s:ta:ed to you when you weTe here a few wks ag"e; that is, that I nlten. to re:ain stric~tly neutral in the campign,' said Senator D. R. Tillnian, yesterday., at his home in Trenton, to a representative of the Chronicle. Wir. "Not Knife Blease. "I could not afford to take sides in the cont2st for both Governor Blease and Judge Jones are personal and po litical friends of mine, and I have told . Blease that. I also told him that, if I saw reason to take sides against him at any time, I certainiy would not knife him, but would tell him before I told any one else." Senator Tillman smiled several times, and winked, Ouring the reading of the article to him by the newspaper man-he somehow had missed getting his paper yesterday. "It is going to be a close fight," he - said, "and Blease is losing no time. He is campaigning now and has been for months. "He is keeping before the people and he is making friends, while Judge Jones is seemingly doing nothing yet. The newspapers, somehow, always have 'some kind of a story about Blease, while: you see very little about Judge Jones. Blease is Mistaken. "There are two things in Blease's statement that he is mistaken in, though. "One is with regard to Richards be ing in a frame-up to bring Judge: Jones out to oppose him. Why, I know that Richards was seriously con sidering entry into the race himself. It has been his ambition to be gover nor, and he thought that, with mny con dition-supposed to be liable to drop off at any' moment-if he could beat Blease and be governor, he would *be in line for promotion and be ab]e to beat any other man; and he was one~ of 'the most surprised men in the. State when Judge Jones announced himself. Mistaken About 1910 Letter. "The other error Blease makes is in: saying that I was about to publish a letter endorsing him in 1910, but was persuaded from it by a newspaper. '"I 'did write a letter, such as he: s pea'ks of, but I did not publish it. I; changed imy mind, and no newspaper, nor man connected with a niewspaper, ~had anrything to do with that letter .not being published after it was writ ten. "However, I voted for Blease in the second primary. I voted 'for Richards in the first."t When He Would Fight Blease. t Commenting further on the situa-;' tion, or as he called it, "muddle,'' the senator said that because he had pro claimred -neuitrality, it did not follow that he must maintain an armed neu -"a. e said, "if Tom Feldear, or any one else, goes nefore the legisla ture a nd proves-actually proves that Bease is, cr has been, crooked, Tll take cides ,quick and fight him; for~ South Carolina is a proud State, and will n6t stand' for rottenness if she knows it." "Senator, Governor Blease says in 'his statement that there are nO dif tersuees between you and him. Is that true?" was asked by the news pape ruman. "There are- no friendly, personal differences betwc.en us, I suppose that's wh at he meant." The senator said that he does not know who is responsible for the can-1 *didnhey of .Tudige JTones, but that he had Tno iea but '.:hat Judge .Jones to'd the truth when JIudge .Iones said he had. been nrgedi by letters and men all m'er the Sit:' to run and that he had a laudable ambition to be governor and "in line of promotion" for the senator i al toga, "if anything should happen to me." Jones Has Got to Fight. "Don't you think the attitude of the' governor toward him as chief justice. .and the clashes with hinm the governor has preciptated, had something to do with his announce&Tment?" was asked. "Why, if a man la any. sirit and pugnac'ity in him at all, I should think he would wanit to get n; :be oth?]' fel low. un'der such cirenstnCcs--meet him on his own plane--and fight him. Don't you? I know I would. "An +ha:+s ius what Jones has got Newberry Bull ing and Loan Loompany AIR will buy you a home. Live in your own house. W ilA len you the r&/ny to pay for you home.
