TILLMAN DEMANDS
SPEEDY ACTION BY
STATE COMMITTEE
SENATOR WRITES LETTER TO
CHAIRMAN JOHN GARY
EVANS. l
"Imprudent Tickering"?Blease Mem- i
her of Committee Gives Out
i
Statement. i
Columbia, Sept. 10.?Expressing an
earnest desire of immediate action in
the matter of investigating the alleged
frauds and irregularities of the
recent primary held in South Carolina,
and condemning what he deems
the arbitrary action of Chairman W.
F. Stevenson, of the investigating
committee, appointed by the State
Democratic executive committee, the
Hon. J. D. Bivens, of Dorchester, a
member of what has been termed the
Blease faction of the investigating
committee, gave out for publication
last night a letter from Senator B. R.
Tillman to the Hon. John Gary
Evans, chairman of the Btate democratic
executive committee, in which
Senator Tillman, marvelling at the
forbearance and patience displayed by
the Bleaseites at the delay in declaring
the election or talcing action of
some kind, urges the state chairman
to proceed with dispatch, lest the
temper of the people of South Carolina
be tried beyond endurance, and
lest the method now being employed
to send the democratic party In this
state to the "demnition bow-wows."
Urges Speedy Action.
Mr. Bivens was in Charleston last
nitrht. and in an interview declared
that as a member of the investigating
committee and as a citizen of the
state, he desired a thorough investigation
into the fraud charges, that 1
the purity of elections in this state
may be preserved, but that the manner
o fthe procedure as outlined by 1
Chairman Stevenson was physically
impracticable and could not be accomplished
within the time intervening
before the general election in November.
Mr. Bivens* Plan. (
"My plan," said Mr. Bivens, "was s
to have the committee as a whole sit r
as a court; go to Spartanburg ot f
Anderson, or wherever there was the r
charges of greatest fraud, employ a
stenographer, take testimony and s
affidavits and proceed with the s
work. Meanwhile the work in other t
counties might be going on and that 1
could be taken up later. It atrikes r
mo an iiftarln i m nnoni HI m to i.m a
the dub roTls and poll Tiarts of Wery c
precinct in the *t*t6, an dae #e?fhav- 1
Jng them pubished In the newspapers, r
that seems to me to be out of the i
question. In Charleston, I believe, I
your city roTls alone required more ?
than eight pages of The News and t
Courier. The general election is to <
be held in a little more than six <
weeks?there's no postponing that? i
and the work as outlined by Mr. Ste- ?
venson could scarcely be gotten under 1
way well by that time." i
As Ullman Views It.
Senator Tillman's reference to Gov- 1
ernor Moses is of particular interest, t
in view of his statements on the i
same subject on a former occasion, i
In his letter to Chairman Evans, i
Senator Tillman says: "I have J
enough faith in the people of South
Carolina to believe that, while, it
will be a bitter dose to have Blease <
as governor, they had rather have 1
him 100 times than to have Moses or 1
a man like him." Tthe refereiv-e to i
Moses, contained in the open r*tter J
to Governor Blease, published Sep-, i
tember 1, was as follows: "If you 1
(addressing Governor Blease) can I
clear yourself of the foul accusations i
made against you in governor's office, 1
and will pursue a wholly different pol- t
icy hereafter, there is some future for
you in the state yet. If you do not, 1
your name will go down in history 1
as the very worst native South Caro- <
linian who was ever governor, Moses s
not excepted." s
Senator Tillman's Letter. 5
The letter written by Senator Till- '
man to the Hon. John Gary Evans, J
chairman of the state democratic
committee, is as follows:
Trenton, S. C., Sept. 12, 1912.
The lion. John Gary Evans, Spar- 1
tanburg, S. C.?Dear John: I have '
seen in the morning papers the '
protest of the three Blease members
of the sub-committee appointed by 1
the state committee. It is a sensible |
judicious, patriotic utterance. If you
do not exert your influence to hurry
things up and stop this dwadling and 1
fooling about, the whole committee 1
will be forever damned in the estimation
of all decent people. What
is worse, the democratic party will
go to the demnition bow-wows. White
men will not tolerate any such im
pudent tinkering with their rights.
We had better have ten years of
Blease than to have the negro
brought back into our politics as the
balance of power between our white
people. Unless all signs fail, that is
inevitable. Neither will the people
of this state stand for counting
Blease out without justification. Already
valuable time has been lost,
and the more delay before declaring
)
(
the result of the primary the more
angry the people become, and the
more ready to vote for an independent
or for the devil before they will
tamely submit to have their will nulifiedi
It was all very well for white
peope to cheat negroes in 1876 and
1878 and even into 1880, but white
men will not tolerate having other
white men cheat them. You are responsible
in the eyes of the people
for the tinkering that is going on
now, and every day you are losing
friends by it. There is absolutely no
justification for the dawdling and delay
that has already taken place. It
seems to be the intention of the sub:ommittee
to continue indefiintely.
The Bleaseites have shown remark
able self-control. They are watching
and the people are watching too. I
have enough faith in the people of
South Carolina to believe that, while
it will be a bitter dose to have Blease
as governor, they had rather have
him 100 times than to have a Moses
>r a man like him. If the qptire
:ommittee does not meet with the
Blease members of the committee
Monday and begin to investigate
vhere it is necessary, I see no earthy
power that can prevent Blease
from running independently in November
and sweeping the state, for
i great many Jones men do not
stomach cheating or any such highlanded
proceedings as aro going on.
I do not like to have the appearance
of meddling with things which
io not concern me, but it is of vital
mportance to me and to every pa.riotic
South Carolinian to save the
rimary. Bnt it is of more vital
:oncera to save the democratic party,
ind as sure as you are living the
imty 01 ine democratic party is very
nuch in jeopardy right now.
Very respectfully,
(Signed) B. R. TILLMAN.

Washington, Sept. 16.?Postmaster
General Hitchcock today issued instructions
for carrying into effect the

The law requires that publishers ;

n the case of daily newspaper, a
rtatement of the average paid circuation
for the preceding six months
s required.
ATI editorial or other reading mat;er
appearing in a newspaper or magizine
for the publication of which pay
s accepted or promised, must be
narked "advertisement," under penilty
of a fine of not less than %50 or
wore than $500.
Department Did Not Favor It.
"Although this law was not favorid
by the postoffice department," said
Postmaster General Hitchcock, "it
will be administered faithfully and
mpartially. In framing the act, con
2^-ess doubtless had in mind the leadng
daily newspapers, but it will af'ect
also nearly 18,000 weeklies.
Many of these publications are having
i hard struggle for existence and will
ind the making cf returns a considerible
burden.
"In my judgment?and I so exTressed
it to the congress?the provision
will be harmful, as it will require
the continuous use of valuable
space in the publications and, at the
same time be resented as a censorship
of the press. One of the greatest
difficulties now encountered in the
snforcement of the law relating to
the second class mail privilege is> that
the postoffice department is compelled
t>y law to make inquiry into so many

publishers. This gives rise to the
complaint?ill-founded in my opinion
?that the government interferes
needlessly with the privileges of the
press. My judgment is that it should
be the constant aim, not only of the
congress, but of the postofflce department,
to lessen the necessity for
supervision of the public press in the
enactment and administration of
postal laws."
On July 1, 1912, there were 28,144
newspapers and periodicals enjoying
second class mail privileges. There

Of these, all except about 15,000 exempted
publications, will be affected
by the new law.

WHICH ONE.
In walking down a city street I heard
a joyous song;
I looked?a peg-leg negro man
stumped jauntily along,
The joy of life was in nis face, a
basket in his hand
And from his soul there ffowed a song
"Way Down in Dixie Land."
An automobile glided by, a new
French car of class.
Luxuriously upholsterea and brave
with shining brass.
A livered chauffeour on the seat?behind
a millionaire,
His hard old face was worn and
seamed with many a line of care.
He wore the latest Paris clothes and
flashed a diamond ring.
But people never saw him smile and
never heard him sing;
And as the auto passed the curb, I
thought I heard him sigh,
Tho he owned an office building that
was twenty stories high.
The peg-leg man had never a care,
his face was wreathed in smiles,
He snapped his Angers at the world,
it's wealth and wicked wiles,
The rich man worried o'er his bonds
and stocks and piles of gold;
Not all his wealth could hide the

life as these two passed along,

Boston, Mass., Sept. 17.?Bertram
G .Spencer, who as a masked burglar
shot and killed Miss Martha B. Blackstone
at Springfield, March 31, 1910,
paid the penalty for his crime with
death by electrocution ut the Charlestown
State prison at 12:18 this mornincr.
The crime for which Spencer was
convicted was the culmination of a
series of bold petty burglaries which
for two years had baffled the police
and terrorized the people of Springfield.
Spencer confessed that the fascination
of reading newspaper accounts
of his exploits was the motive
for the burglaries.
