Filbert is only a few miles away
from York and it was at that point
the first of last August. 4 four
months after the declaration of the
war. that Mr. Hlease 1» said by Hleas-

The meeting wae attended by be
tween !!• had 171 ge races al
though Blaaaa's cooUng had been
widely heralded Reports were also
current on the streets that the coen-
ty had been circuit ridden by Blease
loaders In an effort to stage a wild
ly emphasized demonstration. It wai
also emphasized here this afternoon
that many of Blease*s moat ardent
supporters in the county had Chang
ed from their former political align
ment and were not present.
Mr. Blease gpt a round of ap
plause when he Introduced and also
at the conclusion of his speech, but
the Mahaffy “clincher** neutralized
much of the probable sentiment and
t/he consensus of opinion in York is
that the Blease demonstration was
as Ineffective as a smoke bomb.
In explanation of the newspaper
account of his Filbert speech as pub
lished Mr. Blease said:
"I, at Filbert, was repeating my
Pomarta speech In which I said that
I believed that President Wilson and
the members of congress who voted
for ttie war would be held responsi
ble for every American life that was
loat In It. and if my soul Is to be
lost I did not care what kind of an
America they had after I was dead
ind gone and neither doea your boy.
The young man who reported that
speech got a part of what I said and
got it correctly, hat he did not take
all of my speech and wo sensible

“I announced over a year ago that
I would be a candidate for this of

out an Interview against Senator
Tillman and later one against Ex-
Governor Blease.
“I do not believe in slinging mud,
at the mine time I expect to present
facta In this campaign with all the
powers within me.
' “A mighty effort is being made
by Senator Tillman and Mr. Blease
to have it appear that the race le be
tween them. Tillman having turned
hie back on his old time followers,
and having done nothing for many
years to help the farming interests,
well knows that a great number of
them will not support him and he
hopes that others he formerly abus
ed will pick him up because he can
cuss his political son, Blease; on the
other hand, the ex-governor hopes
If he can get In a second race with
Tillman that a great many voters
would not participate. This Is the
only hope that either has of being
elected. I have no part In their
quarrel and the mere they dislike
eech other the better I am pleeeed.
A great many of the yoaag men of
the State never saw Ttllmea. sad

The staff correspondent of the
Columbia State sends the follow

after Tuesday’s campaign meeting:
“Fewer than 100 of Fairfield’s 1,-
500 voters assembled for the open

remaining in Washington and
Blease giving no Intimation by tele
gram or letter to the county chair^
man as to the cause of his absence.
Both N. B. Dial of Laurens and
James Francis Rice of Anderson re
stricted themselves to the margins
of their typed statements.
A letter from Senator Tillman
was read by Judge J. E. McDonald.
In which the senator explained du

attendance.

tha chairmanship of tha appropria

tled to aceodrtng to the seniority
rule, bees nee they thought the work
would kill him. This honor was con
ferred upon Martin of Virginia. So
you see In what estimation he was
held by his colleagues so long ago.
“When Mr. Lever announced hie
candidacy in Columbia, iimmedlate-
ly a telegram was sent to him from
Washington signed by every mem
ber of the agricultural committee of
the house congratulating him and
wishing him success. There are 22
members on this committee; they
are the direct representatives of the
agricultural class of this country and
have been in congress with Tillman
from two to 24 years: they know
him and his condition better than
you and I and when they unani
mously say he ought to be at home,
do you need more proof? Further
more, the Tillman-Manning corre
spondence shows the governor thinki
Tillman in his dotage and he ought
to know because we have seen for
the last four years where he fre
quently vlMts Washington.

“Senator Tillman claims that It
wo«ld be a mistake to make a
change now because he le chairman
of the navel affair* committee. This
ie about the rankest nonsense one
ever heard of. When he 1* defeat

a Democrat, succeeds him and a ma

March l, 1917, when the naval ap
propriation bill was being consider-

(Mr Swaneon) is at this time out of j

my health Is poor and my memory

of the British and French cabinets
been changed since the war? Even
many generals in the field have been
retired. There are 96 enators in of

administration on leading war meas
