Referring to affairs in South Caro lina, Senator Tillman said Wednes day: “I notice that Governor Mease has broken loose again. Tie makes a misstatement, to speak mildly, and 1 feel compelled to correct him. He went to Hendersonville the other day and in a telegram to The Columbia Record he is made to say: “ ‘Senator Tillman ruined himself with the people of South Carolina in ^ just the same manner when he went about lecturing instead of remaining in Washington and attending to the business in the Senate.’ “1 have lectured very extensively throughout the country, but I never neglected any Senatorial work to do it, as The Record will j ,],, not recall ever having V't Washini: ton w 1 h S>T.a' Was In s. * fxce, tine half a lore*. !:> ^^t-*)e. die*. ! » Wh h I ■ t .»• . ! !

Until we get our primary law amend ed by the Legislature so as to remove all possibility of of tlie charges of fraud and bribery in the primary, we cannot afford to take any changes. “If Governor Mease will exert him self to see that the Legislature at its next session passes a reasonable and just law to insure honesty and fair- nes in our primary, all will he well. I w*ant to emphasize this, and I say it with all due solemnity. “If money buys the next Renator- Bhip in South Carolina, as it may do. and it is charged it has done in the recent Congressional race in the First district, I will feel compelled to object to the seating of any man sent here with a tainted title. “I Join with Governor Mease in V urging our people to register.

He gave this as an explanation of why he expected to continue his work as a lecturer. “As this is my first Chautauqua lecture since becoming a member of the Cabinet,” said Secretary Bryan, It may not be out of place to say that I find it necessary to heture in order to supplement the salary w hich I receive from the Government.
