HOUSE EXPUN OF BLE I LIBEL VETO MESSAGI RECUCED TO TWO PARAGRAPHS. Stevenson Leading Figh Against Recording the Governor's Attack on Newspapers. v Columbia, Jan. 23. ?By a vote o 86 to 26, the House of Representa tives adopted the resolution provid that the greater portion of Governor Blease's message in defense o his veto of the libel bill be expungec from the Journal of the House. Only two paragraphs of the mes sage will be printed in the Journal, '.as recommended by the House judi ciary committee. The House today heard real argu ments in the consideration of tin committee's report on the libel bil veto. They were the two speechei of the session to which preparatior and thought had been given. Tin argument of Mr. W. F. Stevenson, of Cheraw, was one of. the finest one of the most forceful and elo quent heard in a generation on th< floor of the Honne. . It was one o the best, moet logical and well con oeived arguments that has beer heard in a legislative body. I went'into current politics more oi less, but with it all was a masterfu production and could only comt from a mind of unusual calibre. . ^ .Another speech on the subjeci today was that of Mr. George R Rembert,;. who opposed the law pre viously advanced. Mr. Rem be r . ; niade a legal argument that wai well donC and clearly presented jjic position he took were presentee ir^j^'goatbteinper and with vigor. y* The Tlibel law" message, aaJtju thej 1 .say ifl a campaign; it ripped th< t f newspapers and newspaper mer I severely and said a great inanj f biting things. I The House committee recom / mended that the "objections" b< J boiled down to two paragraphs and I that the balance be expunged from the permanent record, or Journal, of the House. Then the judiciary committee further recommended the Act be passed over' the Gover nor's veto. Declared Dividend.

Tillman R. Tillman, of South Carolina, is of the opinion * * that the Harvey-Watterson incident j* haB proved a boomerang for those ? two gentlemen, and will react to " Governor Wilson's credit rather "f J than injure him as a candidate. 1 While Senator Tillman has not 8H committed himself, and will not yet, he is strongly inclined to favor the nomination of the New , Jersey , Executive as the most available ^ candidate. . in THINKS WILSON STHONOEI!. cc 1 "I shall wait before committing to 3 thyself," declared Senator Tillman, ! hut I am greatly impressed with to 3 Governor Wilson. I do not want viiv i/vanvA/iavi?. |/ni IJ tU KlttlUU U 0{| Republican in disguise, as has been ra . done in the past. As things now p, 5 appear, I believe Wilson is stronger ge f with the people than he was before _ . the Harvey-Watterson incident. He t has been tried in the fire and came ( I out without singed wings. I had r given Henry Watterson credit for I more sense than to try to foist off a , story like this, with the material facts concealed, though 1 now reI call that he went back on free silver and Bryan. /'Instead of Wilson showing a t lack of gratitude to Harvey, as we 3 have been led to suppose, he saw 1 - through the scheme, measured I Harvey and Watte recta correctly 'and refused .ywfl jrti'fd ' i to Thacoas mfaSfHix.' 'this fact f should and will make him. stronger J with the masses of the people, for I 1 believe they are sick and tired of ' being betrayed by men who have climbed into high offices under false pretenses. "Governor Wilson may as well be prepared for other attempts to destroy him, as he is evidently very obnoxious to the Wall street bunch of men who run 'big business.' Every time one of these big AntiWilson bombs are discharged the people soon discover a Wall street clock lying around with a time fuse attached. If they keep on, I ex, pect to see him get the nomination, , and if nominated 1 expect to see \ him elected." K. Foster Murray. Missionary to Lecture Here.
