SENATOR TILLMAN I'KGF.l) TO TELL WHOLE Tlil'TH j I The Columbia Correspondent of the j American Asks Tillman t-> Make fiood on His Threat to "Specify" as to Manning and Lever. John K. Anil, Columbia correspond-' snt for the Charleston American, .sent the following statement on the night of June 14 by telegraph. The telegraph company failed to de. 'tiver Mr. Anil's statement to the American in time for publication in Saturday's paper. The statement in full follows: -Columbia. June 15.?Senator Tillman's letter to the editor of th? Charleston American, published here this afternoon by a newspapsr which has not yet had the manhood to print original Tillman reply to Manning 'to which the article published this ""* ? aj-T \ 'artemoon reiers, s^ys mu,i me can nas some subterranean way of 'getting news from Columbia," that the publication of his letter in the American was a ' breach of fatih" and that his letter was "filched." These charges directly affect the 'Columbia correspondent of the American, who in reply, simply desires to state that they are absolutely false. The senator's charges against the American will dorJbtless be handled by the editor of the American. The American carries the regular newspaper postage rate at its masthead. And I besn 1 % * 4-s\ 1-*t iff 1 atto If or?rl n*jvt? au5UiULCity 111 uo iu.raii* auu patriotism. Suffice it in that regard ^or me to say that the record of my ?amily in this war, so far as service at the front is concerned, and that is the service that counts, will compare favorably with the record of the senator's family, and that my brother and brother-in-law are now in i ? ^ i I anu anuuier uruuier-iii-iaw is sco;j -o go to France, and now in the' fighting vanks, are aU three volun-' teers, and that I have done what little ' was within my ability and am ready : .Pl'I anxious to do what else I can for ! th?. nation in this time of stress and; 3 trill * J siuGci in an article in the Ameri- i T > can ut--wdnesdny morning: "As to: where the-'-'olumlbia corresDondelU of I '-be American #ot the original Tillmaii i 'letter, thai is nobody's business, so ! long as he got it legitimately and ! i honestly, as he did and so long as he did not vio^to a confidence in pub- i ;iir.h.ing it." That is all I have to stats j n.07:. VC- I shall not "V misled into divulging ' afr' information to where I got r-irat letter. It was a true copy of the ~ which Senator Tillmaii had; "written. It ^ave to the people of the state a portion of what he knew to be ; ^ibe truth. The pity is that he did nm give all the tri'th at that time, in- i stead of giving what he did as to Gov-j ernor Manning toeing "in the business of irakine: a senator for the -people oi* '"tSto^JbOfafuiia to swallow." Then tell-' j ing a portion of the frame-up that oc' eurxed in Washington: and contenting himself with conrluding. in regard to] > ther -which he had formerly ( ^Sliming and Level4, and the services whi?h he had formerly ren-1 derea against Blease, that neither Manning nor Lever would deny what he has done for them, and "if they want n:e to specify I will do so." The specifications which the senior senator threatened would proDaDiy fcave been even more interesting than the letter itself which has caused such, a state-wide sensation. i I Wnat. the people of South Carolina now want to know is not how the Charleston American honestly got truth which the peopi? ' - entitled to, and published it, i "'knowledge*! signature of ' over tfie *r.v Senator' TOlmi", bUt why Senator Tilftntrf riid notfl&ivg bo'e ^ru^'"' | - - - * ~ J. ~*rr? y^^hy he attempted to hOM up jjv? r*be p^?;u)M feven thai portioil which! 7 he did give, in View of the statement j in his former letter to Governor Man- , ning that he was "not accustomed to 1 flaying the game of politics with the ' cards stacked" and that he had foil-owed Jefferson's maxim, "teach the "people.and trust the people and teii .them the truth." j ,.OM write a part > ^JQyt.'rf J5-3.Ior, uiu of the truth, threaten to publish it all, ana then attempt to withhold the part "which you had writtten? That is what the people of South Carolina would like to know, not how the Columbia correspondent of the American sec-irea the copy of your letter over yoar own signature. Senator Tillman knows that deer ' in his heart he is glad the letto? -IV n saw the light. of day. He knows trv > Cr.lijmhv correspondent of the Anier: can got it only honestly, and that n confidence was breached. He doe not know it personally, but in hi own mind he is convinced that ther v*as only fair dealing, and if he di "nake a clean breast he will acknow <idge that he is really glad that pai - of the whole truth which he gave sa he light of day, and that there now a square is:;ue between him and iilea^e, though his letter shows tha: j the great trouble with him is his fear : of Blease. That is the crux of the situation. Those fellows who went to him and induced him to withdraw his letter . never were the senator's friends, ana he knows it; he knows that he has be-11 continually "double-crossed" in the house of his "new found friends" ever since he "found" them in 1912. He talks about bein<r art "old man naturally militant" who "has seen fit | to curb his tongue in order that fric] tion and hot politics may be avoided in the interest of peace at home and war on the common ' nemy." Nobody sympathizes with him in bis old agemore tban I do, but in the publication of his letter, which was a simple matter of news, honestly secured and honestly published. I felt that I wa:s carrying out my duty to my paper J and my consistent adherence to the j reform, doctrine, which he has now i deserted, of giving the people tho l truth. I am only sorry that his ac| tions in the campaign of 1912 have 1 I-;? ? - + rt'lmrA TV V) <5 ^ | placed mm in <t puhiLiun " ^ .. uuu j he writes a part of the truth he Is in the hands of "new found friends" who induce him to draw it, and then cxCtempt to impugn the motives of thcso | who publish it, even though in the recesses of his innermost soul h?. knows that he is glad it came ouc. The senator in his lecture to Th? American quotes with my approval a sentiment from the governor of South Carolina. In view of the famous letter j of the senator's, which appears to be ; so much in issue, the old exclamation j would seem appropriately to apply, "God save the mark." JOHN K. ATLL. I " [THE AMERICA\ ANSWERS | c TO SENATOR TILLMAN. Hon. B. R. Tillman, U. S. Senate, * f Washington, D. C. Civ k/ il . I bee: to acknowledge receipt your letter of .Tune 12. Immediately upon its receipt I wired you: June 14, 1.91S. Hon. B. R. Tillman. I'. S. Senate, Washington, D. C. Your Jet'er June 12 received. Will give me great pleasure to j publish it on our front page to- j morrow morning and, of course, I } will reserve right Jo answer and publish my answer at same time, .'Meantime I thank you for iis courteous, gentlemanly, considerate tone, for vour characteristic ingenuousness, for your sudden j conversion to the avoidance of s "friction and hot politics;" also to the quotation of Manning script- j \:re and for your kind words j a'i'Ou.t Lever, notwithstanding" in' your opinion these worthies were recently .."lying like the devil" | about you. It is to laugh. "Let j the heathen rage." Also in an- : other aphorism which was once j a favorit of yours, "the galled jade winces, my wimers cue un- ( wrung." Editor, Charleston American, j 1 I You will see by the tone o.f this' telegram that I do not take your i scolding seriously, but that rather I i shall turn upon you your own batter- j ies, taken, from time to time, from ' jxiisitions which you abandoned in ; your general retreat into the land of dotage. You are familiar, for in-; stance, with the word "ingenuous-; ness." It was one of your ready de I fenses when with very awkward j fumbling you sought to extricate j yourself from the unenviable plight J in which -Roosevelt left you over the i Oregon lots. Perhaps you remember it. "* '-- ti vnur verv re* ^ Oil Will 3.1S0 ICCa.ii fSfit use of the term "lying like the devil;'f and how when you at once tried to clinib aJboard the Blease wagon after his first election, when it was still your policy to denounce the newspapers which were then, as now so savagely upon his back, you wired him congratulations, saying, "Let the : heathen rage." And was it not o? vou said: "*Let ; Grover uiev cianu i,u>.v v that galled jade wince; my withers are unwrung?" Xot cnlv has the American treated you, as everyone, fairly, but we havf ' disregarded your own habit of rea' i unfairness toward us in our effort tc publish the news, giving you always ! full credit for whatever in your publi< > way you have been able to do o value to your constituents. We neei i only refer to our files to prove thif - However, it must be said that for - <* time back your net output ha J ' iUi;.-, 5 been more in the nature of garruiou 3 interviews than substantial accon e plishment. Ir is well known that yo (1 are hothing more than titular head ( !-: the committee on naval affairs. Du: rt ing the past few years of tremenuoi w naval development Norfolk, whew is senator is in reality the rha?rman < [ that committee. has besn piling up i improvements, work and appropria. I tions for That beeenive of activity, while you have put us off with recurrent "investigations." Even today th_employees of the Charleston yard upholding meetings to devise some pian to keep enough work here to prevent a general exodus of an expert fore? ' that may never be replaced. Your "chairmanship" of this committee has become for Charleston a sardonic joke. Was it also because of your - ~imet that vntl I presume in uiiim fticoi i-uoi. ., ~ . j recently succeeded in keeping us i from getting a shipyard even after i the contracts had actually been sign1 ed to bring it here? But you should be MOHK thai! J chairman of the naval committee. It i is now more than six years since we j read carefully your gratuitous advice ' to oui; then President-elect Wilson on Show to run tiie iioveminsiu, weauus ! into this piece of customary sycophancy your claim by seniority for i the chairmanship of the senate com! mittee on appropriations. Vou were : entitled to it, and yours is the Only / mco nn 7-prnrfi in which exception i was made to the' established rule. ; The president's attitude, and that of ! your democratic conferes, was that J while time and precedent entitle \ j you to it. you were IN COM PETE NT. j and you were shunted off to the nomj inal chairmanship of a committee I which in those days of pacifism gav? j(you nothing to do and was quite suit1 ed to your recognized irresponsibility, j Xot. only Is the wonderful efficiency of our navy due neaTly wholly to the marvelous capa-^uv ux me yei suuuuv of its officers, who as experts merely i tell the senate what to do, but when, J by the advent of war. the senate com; mittee urew somewhat important, yon I were brushed aside in actual practice i for Swanson, who is so thoroughly i capable. Xor will it make any rfiffer| ence if. as a matter of "senatorial j courtesy," Swanson should disclaim j this: everybody knows it. j But as to your charge of unfairness.* On fune 1. at a late night hour, , we receeived t ie following telegram I r\:\T Wa!nirtnn cnrresnondent: ! * ?

This was our first intimation thaf you were about to fann-ch enaorsements from Washington rather than leave your case to the people of South Carolina, whom for the purpose of geeting their votes you .believe in ''trusting." You will notice tli&i even the or as the lawyers say, as a part .?f the res gestae of the case, our correspondent doubted if you were* dealing witlr him frankly, for he says of your statement that you had sent The American a cony: "T do not know whether this is true/' "Wt^r should he have even then aoai.'Jiea you.

You say: i 11 y * ' n "In a contest between Mr. Lever j and Mr. Blease, I can find' virtue in G Lever's loyalty to the 'present administration, his soundness hi deniocraLie ^ principles and his clean personal and v ^fRr.ior bohitn juirf coduct.
