TILLMAN LIABLE TO DBA FT. j ! Will Ask For Keelection if He isj "Conscripted." Trenton, Oct. 6.?Knowing that thei people of the State were anxious toi learn the probable attitude of Senator Tillman in the next senatorial! race, since the papers have been discussing the matter, the State's representative sought an interview with him this morning. The senator was averse to saving anything on the sub-! ject, because of his statement two! years ago that he wouid retire at the] end of his term. When it was brought to his attention that this country had become involved in the most gigantic war of all history since that time, and! that his services were more needed, now than ever, he said: > "I have received many letters from old friends and from many who have1 I never supported me before urging me1 to be a candidate to succeed myself.] notwithstanding my declaration two ' * T 'J WVion i years ago tnat 1 wouiu icmc. I make up my mind, it is not often! that I change it. I do not wish to be: a candidate; my family wishes me to! retire from public life. But on account j of the fact that we are at war and that the president needs the undivided support of his party, I have recent-! ly said that the only condition on which I would be a candidate was for the people to 'conscript* me. In other words, I must be convinced that they really want me to run or I shall retire as previously announced." The senator is receiving many letters urging him to be a candidate again, to all of which he has answered as above. It is a matter that is up to the people as to whether the senator shall again represent them, which he has done for so long and so acceptably to the majority of the voters of the State. Their wishes can be made 1 known either by letter or petition, or>d what is done should be done * quickly. The opposition is very busy and it is high time the friends of the Democratic administration make known their wishes.

Geo. E. White, president of the college, recently returned to this country. The massacres were committed, at night by order of the Turkish government, he said, the Armenians being sent out in lots of 100 or 200 to their doom and their bodies rolled into prepared burial trenches. "One group of our college boys asked permission to sing before they died and they sang "Nearer My God to Thee'?then they were struck down." Dr. White said: "The situation for Armenia became excessively acute in the spring of 1915 when the Turks determined to eliminate the Armenians. The Armenian question arises from political and religious causes. "On the pretext of searching for deserting soldiers literature of revoTnrkich nffipprs arrost 1 UllUIiloto, U'O * ed about 1,200 Armenian men at Marsovan, accompanying their investigations by horrible brutalities. There was no revolutionary activity in our region whatever. "The men were sent out in lots of one or two hundred in night deportai tions' to the mountains, where trenches had been prepared. Coarse peasants who were employed to do what was done said it was a "pity to waste bullets' and they used axes. "Then the Turks turned on the women and children, the old men and little boys. Scores of ox-carts were i gathered and in the early dawn as they passed, the sqeaking of their wheels left memories that make the blood curdle even now. Thousands of women and children were swept away. Where? Nowhere. No destination was stated or intended. Why? Simply because they were Armenians and Christians and were in the hands of the Turks. . -lr. on/i vAiincr wnmpn wprp I UIl 'O aiiu j vv.?0 w ? snatched away at every turn on the journey.
