Anking Him to Hhow His Hand
and Governor Writes His Reply As
Tillman's Statement Is Given Out,
Senator Tillman has sent out
c'^es of certain lexers exchanged
between himself and President Wil
son and Postmaster General Burle
son. These refute absolutely the ru
mor being vigorously circulated in
South Carolina that the president
or his advisors had prevailed upon
Congressman Lever tq enter the sen
atorial race.
Senator Tillman enclosed for v>ub-
llcatlon a letter which he had mail-
ed to Governor Manning, but to
which there had been no reply. Gov.
Manning, however, answered the let
ter the same day the senior sena
tor's article reached this office, and
It has been taken from the dally
press, to which it was given for pub
lication.
The letters disclose the fact that
Gov. Manning has been actively en
gaged in fostering the candidacy of
Mr. Lever, and that upon a trip to
Washington he had certain talks
with Postmaster Geqpral Burleson,

- J have your letter of May twenty-

sincerely for the generous senti

You refer to the Postmaster Gen
eral's letter to you of May eighth
and are kind enough to let me see U.
I beg to assure you that It expresses
with entire accuracy the attitude
which I have assumed In all con
tests between genuine friends of the
administration, and the attitude
which I shall always try to maintain
I hope and believe it to be the right
position.

Tha drolo of man power, tho fall
lo tho numbers of births and tha
loss of tha population through sick-
naaa and undar feeding Is fait more
■avarsly by tha central powers than
by tho peoples of the entente. Where
as the annual drain of population
In Germany and In Austria-Hunga
ry has given place to a serious loss,
the peoples of the entente have suf
fered 4 very small diminutive m
comparison.
GreatBritain's total population
has so far remained at about the
same figure, against balancing losses.
The rate of Increase in the Unitea
States has pot been affected at all.
Aa the war goes on this growing
disparity In the losses of population
between the central powers and the
peoples fighting them is likely to In
crease. If the war goes on into next
year the population of the German
empire will have lost 10 per cent of
the.numbers and as great proportion
of its Industrial strength.
The Germao empire, which In
June, 1919, should have had 72,-
000,000 people will have no more
than 64,1400,000 and Germany as a
whole will have 5 per cent lees pop
ulation than when the war began.
Of those who have been killed the
greater number were men in the
prime of life and energy whom Ger
many can least spare. By deaths
In the .kettle tone the German em
pire has lost at least S.OOd.OdO men.
The birth rate wae sunk to such
a figure that by next year the num
ber of births will have fallen short
of what they would have been had

statement made In an address by
Rear Admiral Albert Gleaves.
"I am not going beyond the bor

al Gleaves, "when I say that a few

‘‘I do not profess to know much

“because I am kept busy with own

Ihe PoMmaater General, Washington,
May 8. 1918,
Hon. Benjamin R. Tillman,
United States Senate.
My dear Senator Tillman:
This acknowledges the receipt of
your letter of May 8th.
In reply thereto, please accept my
assurance that It is the fixed policy
of the Administration, from which It
does not vary, to refrain from Inter
ference in the State political affairs.
At no time has the Administration
In South Carolina or any other State
urged or .Invited any person to be
come a candidate for the United
States Senate.
I sincerely hope that the contest
for the nomination for Senator in
your State will be so conducted as
not to interfere In Ahajslightest with
the very cordial friendship which
has heretofore existed between you
and Representative Lever.
Sincerely yourr,
A. 8. BURLESON,
Washington. D. C., May 22, 191$.

er this part of yoar letter. •This la
a Hbm, however. If I may remark H.
which demands self-ahaagatlo
the subordination of salftah or
Hour alms
I shall answer you rlnqalry with
antlra frankness, as I have nothing
to conceal, though I do not admit
your right to qumtlon me on this
matter.
You have been quoted by saying
that your health was such aa to pre
clude the possibility of your making
a county to county campaign In your
race for the senate, and from what
I have seen of you I believe that this
is true. With Blease an announced
candidate for the United States sen
ate, my opinion was, and is. that it is
imperative for him to be met in de
bate at every meeting, so as to keep
the true and vital Issue of the war,
and loyalty to our country and gov
ernment, before the people; that as
you could not make the campaign
and meet Blease In debate, and keep
the true Issue fully and forcibly be
fore the public, someone must be in
the race to do this; that we In South
Carolina could not take a chance on
the issue; that R was a State and
national duty to nee to It that South
Carolina was represented In the
United States senate by one who
was. and la. loyal to the United
Staten, and __ __
