What are the people of South Car
ol 00 going to do about the l m t >r
?hip? Senator Tllhnan is said to have
ally announced that he la a
Ive cundidato for re-election, that
he will ask to be given one more
term, but will not mako the county-to
county campaign prescribed by the
rules of the tarty. Some months ago
he announced through the p -ess that
he was not a candidate for re-election
it Is to say he was not see:..us
ur (1 making n fl;ht for the oftleo, bu
that if the people of South Carolin
riipted him for this service he
would not deny tholr request. In oth?
er words, if th n't! t w.-s handed t
ho would take it. At the time or
thla announcement we scussed th
matter ut some length and then stat
ed that we did not believe that Sen?
ator Tillman could be elected at thl
time without an actlvs and aggree
arhre cam pa urn and th t. ; s his physi
eal condition, according to oomrae
report, would absolutely debar hm.
from making the county-to-count]
canvass, be should not, us a patriot
?citizen, who has been the recipient of1
Hgwnl and long continued honors 1
the. hands of the majority of his fel?
low clthtens, intdst upon being a can?
didate. There is no possibility of h>
being conscripted. Urn ofllQg will B It
b? handed to hin I unless be kai
the physical strength to make an ag?
gressive fight he should stand a shir
and let some younger man take up
the bttttlo for democracy and Amer?
icanism. In ma<lng this asn-rtlm.
w? uo not recall the atntemtnl mad
?*? T.4.1 tunes', heretofote- that Si thh
crisis it would be well to cont.nu
Senator Tillman In office, since h
is capable of rendering better and
greater service than ur.v other man in
the Stute, because of expert* nee aim
prestige. But as a matter of fact wo
have political condition* in* Soudi
Carolina to consider and not thOOrkl
or sentiments, if every office soekot
would stand aside in favor of Senator
Tillman. he could sit on Ins fron
porch and be re-elected, but they are
not going to stand aside, nor will he
he spared by his opponents. He will
be fought even though he does not
fight, and the result would I ??. ore be
lieve, his defeat by a demavogue
The only thing that OOUld Insure hl^
re-election would be for a majority
of the people to m ike Tillman n light
their fight, and by means of the most
thorough organisation, extending mt<>
?very precinct of the State, win a vic?
tory th*t he In not physically a Mo to
Win for himself. We do not bellOVi
th it Senator Tillman has the person
al following In the State to make such
an organisation and such a campaign
poaelble. There has been no evidence
of ouob .1 following slne?- he adv.He?
ad the Ides that be I f cons, ripted, ami
wo have seen no sigi.s that the ma
Jortty of the people are likely to rls
Up enthusiastically and hand him the
aenatorshlp foi on. more term Ti?
ls our diagnosis of the situation?v.t
may be mistaken, but hofOft Wi
change this opinion, we will have t<
be shown. It is a problem for the
loyal citizen* of tin- state to solve
snd the time to bOfjfg working it on:
is now It will not do to wait tin I!
the campaign is well under way.
