jj^^Says IIfk Sought Adnitnisira- j tion's Backing. I 1 I Wo?r ?r -^on .Tnrtp ?Renresenta- ! ? tive A. F. [.fever this evening gave out t the following statement with refer- t I ence to the correspondence publish- n 'K ed in the News and Courier SundVi t between Senator Tillman and the j r H President and Postmaster General p ,1 Burlesor. and between Senator Till-1 i W nian and Governor Manning: i v W "No friend of mine has been author- c ized $o say that the administration h was backing my candidacy for the f senate. I have not sought such an en- c dorsement. I am sure I have its good L will, but under date of May 11, when h I called the attention of Gen. Burle- f son to the fact that a certain promi-l's I nent friend of Senator Tillman was 1 r circulating the report that the latter L would produce a letter from Gen. Bur- ii leson saving that the administration a wanted him to run and was behind | i] him, Gen. Burleson wrote me on the ' > same date in substance what Senator s Tillman has had in his correspondence from the administration. I quote a n single sentence: 'In reply there to s you may accept my assurance that as a between you and Senator Tillman v there has been no action taken by this p administration which could be con- p ^ strued al a departure in the slightest r from its fixed policy from which it 't r does not vary, to refrain from any in-1 c terference as between friends equally s loyal to our country and with records of efficient service/ . L "The General goes on to say, that s as between two Democrats, one for. E and the other antagonistic to the ad- : ; ministration, the administration mighr. j t take a hand, and then significantly g ' ? ~ ?- 'V* A f adds, 'with your entrance niu> mc contest, of course, the situation is S cnan^ed.' ! *" i 0 "This is all I have to say touching ~ "T_ This phase of the matter except to. ( with Gen. Burleson in the hope I 1 C L nothing will be said, or done j "which will cause a breach in the long 0 and friendly relations which have ex-, " isted between Senator Tillman and n me. I refuse to fuss. There is a com- 0 mon enemv to occupy our energies at, " -our very door. . . i 1: "As to the controversy between the ( Senator and Governor Manning, I' t "have no comment to make further . i ij than to say that I have not entered ^ this race as the candidate of any man, i p set of men, or " faction. T go into it with one creed, and only one, in mind, * 100 -per cent Americanism, coupled with 100 per cent active efficiency for * the things that make it necessary to * win war." K. F.

However, the puDiicauon oi me "Manning-Tillman correspondence, in * which Manning's hand was forced up- * on the table, was too much for him. * "He couldn't stick, and he pitched in f * an off-suit. The great trouble was ! * that even in a a-ame of chance, fanci- i * v ? fully figuring upon the great vote of I * the people of South Carolina as a j * . stake which they might bandy among * them, they would not take a shot at " y~ ?^ rwlr TViAf fri Qfl s xne Kings swut; vi punci. vn a milder form instead.
