R. Tillman Saturday gave out from his home In Trenton a statement In which he couples the name of John McLaurin, former United States ami now State warehouse sioner, with that of Cole !>• Mease, candidate for governor, as enough to "make the people wary and suspicious.” Senator TOtmnn quotes one of the so-called “Arehbold letters" from Mr. MdsMirln to John I>. Archbold, representative of the Standard Oil company, In which the suggestion Is made that If "properly and generous ly supported," Mr. McLahrln could defeat Senator Tillman. The senator charges that the scheme now Is to elect Mr, governor now, Mr. Mclaurtn to Hcnate two years from now and Mr. Meaae later. He also cltea some of Mr. Mease's panlons. He concludes bjr paying a tribute to Gov. Man ning's work for the State warehouse system, and bidding the people "be ware and keep awake." The statement follows: "I. . —— 11 i*u ion. 7—-r. ■- To the People of South Carolina: I do not like to dignify John L. McLaurin by noticing anything he says, but I am unwilling to allow the slanderous assertions and false accu sations made In an Interview on the 8th In one of the Hlease papers In South Carolina to go unnoticed. Mc Laurin asserts that he is one of the two manager* of Hlease'* campaign Hlease being the other; and McLau rin’s connection with Hlease In Mt eo-celled fight for "decency and good government" should make the peo ple wary and suspicious.

I enclose an account of both meetings for your informa tion. With kindest regards, I am, "Yours sincerely, (signed) "Jno. L. McLaurin." I call your particular attention to the words, "I can beat Tillman if properly and generously supported.” Could John D. Archbold "properly” and "generously" support John L. McLaurin without the aid of Stand ard Oil money? I want the peopia to answer this queetion. In the same magazine a complete exposure of McLaurin and his “re form" movements In the United States Senate Is given. And still this man has the nerve and effrontery to say that I have gone back on the people and that he Is still standing and fighting their battles. My God! And the pity of it Is that some good people believe It! It Is not a pleasure for me in my old age to reopen old sores or to In tentionally give hurt to any man. But I have been a servant of the peo-. pie for 26 years, and if I lose every friend that I have, I do not Intend to sit Idly by and not tell the people of conditions as I see them. And they can always have this consolation, that whoever Ben Tillman "consorts with" now, politically or otherwise, they know in their hearts that he has. never consorted with Archbold or the money b.vrons of Walt streeB In the past and that he Is not now leagued with Hotille, Famum and the liquor barons of Chasleston, 8.

But before I see this come to pass I will at leaat be true to myself, and true to the State which haa so signally honored me, and war* the people as to what they arq doing. If the people of Abbeville coun ty want a governor who will par don a man like hichey, who waa convicted of rulnlrg his adopted daughter, while she waa under thie^ age of consent, that Is their busi ness.

If the people of Anderson coun ty want a governor who will par don a man like Emerson, who was convicted of killing an old man who was trying to protest the vir tue of his daughter, that is their business. If the people of the State want a governor who -In four years par doned 1,500 criininals—mankill- ers, rapists, thieves and others! who condoned his actions by the assertion that he was paroling them during good behavior and making good citizens of them and who because the people would not send him to the Senate turns around and pardons all of those whom he had paroled and sends them free to walk the earth, that is their business.

The government is perfectly within Its righto in using any information which mose to It in these conditions for any public and national purpose." This statement, made recently in response to questions by members of the House of Commons, created a stir there. It apparently had been censored out of cable dispatches to the United States. When asked about the matter Secretary Lansing said it had been called to the attention of the state department officially but he declined to make any comment at this time. It is understood, however, that the department will take a most serious view of Lloyd-Geoi ge’s interpreta tion of the British war office's power and will protest more vigorously than ever against Interference with neutral malls on the high seas.
