[tillman talks about politics 5 States Plainly Ills .pinion of Got. I BIoa.se? Thiubs Democrats Have J Golden Opportunity in 1912 if They Act Wisely and Conservntively. I Senator Tillman was in Columbia > yesterday to attend the meeting of < the Winthrop college board of trustees He talked about national politics. Uio prospects of the Democratic and Republican party, said Joe Bailey was ;ho smartest man in Washington, gave his views on the tariff and tho i chances of reciprocity parsing tho Senate, talked about his health and tho election of 101 'J, commented upon the Democratic presidential possibil ities and gave his definite opinion of uov. Blouse. "What do you think of Joe Bailey?" was asked. "Oh. Bailey got Into a pit and wont off hall-cocked. In my opinion, ho is the ablest man in Washington and one of the smartest I evor knew in national politics," be replied. He added that Bailey had split open His own head and with his own hatchet -and that "ho did come back." "What do you think of Qov. Blease?" s tie was asked. Opinion of Governor. "I expressed my opinion of him a long time ago. He has disappointed me somewhat. He has not managed to keep his poise with all the nagging he has received at the bands of the press," was the answer of the sena tor. Senator Tillman flefended Oov. Blease's pardon record by stating that it was a case of an accumulation of meritorious cases that had congested during tho two terms of Gov. \nsel. He then switched off of the chief 0X I e'OUtive and was willing to talk on any other subject. "Will von be a candidate for anoth er term In the senate "That depends on my health." he replied. He said that he looked strong but that he was a very weak man. "I look into the glass and say Ye.;, that Is Ben Tillman,' but when I try rny old pranks I find I ran not do a thing." he remarked in characteristic manner. Senator Tillman said that he did not know whether h ? would return to Washington for the extra session ol congress. "I have my VOtO paired in the senate." he said. The senator does not know whether reciprocity will get throueh the sen ate. He thought it would very prob ably strike a BUag there. "I don't know the attitude of the senate on tho question." he said. Predicts a Split. Senator Tillman predicted a split In both parties and said that a new party was sure to be formed. The Democratic party, he said, must stand by retrenchment. "If the Democratic party has the statesmanship it will seize the opportunity and hold the reins as long as it pleases." Ho de clared that the party must cut down expenditures and do away with th 4 useless offices given ;>y the Republl -can administration. He characterized the new ollice building for the mem bers Of the senate as a useless expense ?nd cited a magazine attack on the structure. "if the Democratic party fails to clean up the house," ho said, "an ? ot'.tor parly will spring up." Asked as to the chances of the Democratic parly to secure the presi dency, he said; "flov, Harmon of Ohio " has the best chance, lie has made a g?bd governor. "The Democratic party is embar rassed with riches, for they have a wealth of material to selecl a candi date front. They are all men of high character and are able Wilson. Har mon and Champ Clark. Wilson is evidently a very bright and strong man. with will power. He does things which the people wish to see done" he said. "The Democratic parly." be de clared, "has a golden opportunity to win the next presidency If they are wise and conservative, and not con servative enough to 1)0 considered cowards ni/ul show that they are not In the game merely for the offices. Senator \Tlllmnn considers Champ 'Clark an able man. as he is a droll and witty' speaker. "1 would like to see him president." he said, "but I don't thiijk Hud his Mino has come." Senator lElllinnii is of the opinion that if Mr. Cl^rk. as speaker, handles the house widely and conservatively that he will .jonie day be the president of the I'niied Slates. "I an,' hbt dealing in sensations." (t'ald Senntor Tillman. when asked il he hnd^ nnv comment to make on Theodor^ Roosevelt, fie then talked extensively Oil Booker Washington, saying ^hat he had been knocked out for fllrflng with the wife or a bar tender. * Qolngi nu>1,> lnt0 dOtall on national affairs. Senator Tillman said: ?I tl^lbk the last election hinged on tho taif,n* and that ,,,R Democrats were eomuvlssloncd by the Pe?i)l0 i<? reform the ''tariff because the Republicans badi failed t? reduce it as they prom- , iscd. "If the house of representatives I doesn't carry out this policy it will be a great disappointment to the poo ple. They will mls? the first oppor (unity the party has had since thel ?<u io reuiorO uiuuiat:! v ?b In iiie fuii- | fidence of the country. "The idea of a tariff for revenue only preposterous in the light of the magnitude of our expenditures. We have a billion-dollar congress ev ery session and while thore is much j extravagance and any number of use less offices the country will not take | kindly to any radical or ultra changes. "Tho party ought to follow the old Latin maxim. In medio tutisslmus ibis (you will walk safest In the middle of the road). Which means that we must have a tariff sulTlclently large to get the expenditures required by the gov ernment, and yet not interfere witli the business interests of the country "Free trade is a dream that will never be realized." he continued, "and any one acquainted with Washington at all knows how hard it is to abolish any olllce at all. tl is therefore dtHcult role the Democrats have to I play and it will require wisdom and good judgment to keep off the rocks. "If the house of representatives, which is Democratic for the first time in a long while, passes a tariff law and he senate rejects that tariff law.l till:; law will become the issue on which the next campaign will be fought. " Any deficit ought to he made upl by levying a graduated income tax and thus make the multi-millionaires who have been multiplied and manu factured by file iniquitous Republican tariff legislation, hear their just share of the burdens of the government.

Rockefeller scatter mil j lions around as though they were (limes, when 1 know that hut for the unjust and one-sided Republican leg islation and failure to enforce the laws neither of them would have so much money which has been wrung from the people ami not honestly earned.
