TILLMAN ON REFORMING PRIMARY Senior Senator, in Letter to Editor of Walterboro Press and Standard, States That Bill is Being Prepared to Safeguard Elections, and Will Ko Tni iiaa^I "WavI Qoaaann I Aflr islature?Refuses to Discuss Recent Election in First Congressional District?Is Enlisted in Fight for Pure Elections for Life. The News and Courier is in receipt 1 of the following letter for publication ] which was written by Senator B. R. Tillman to R. M. Jeffries, editor of < the Walterboro Press and Standard, i in reply to Editor Jeffries's request i for a statement in regard to the re- < cent election in the 1st Congressional < district: "Washington, D. C., July 31. 1 "Mr. R. M. JefTries, Editor of The 1 Press and Standard, Walterboro, 1 South Carolina?My Dear Sir: I have i just received your valued favor of 1 July 30, and have read it with great care. After citing my recent interview about the purity of elections in our State and defending and safeguarding the primary, you say: 'We 1 take the liberty oi asking you ror a | statement concerning the recent elec- ' tion in 1st Congressional district to ? name a successor to the late Hon. 1 George S. Legare." You go on to J say: 'There has been much said con- ] cerning the use of money in the 1st district, and we are writing this to ask whether this matter has been J presented to you.' Farther, you ask { whether this matter has been official- * ly brought to my attterrtion, and whether I am in position and intend to do anything in the premises. In other words, it seems that you desire me to discuss the conditions in the j 1st Congressional district brought j about durine the recent primary. ( "You close by saying: 'We are con- * vinced that the last election in thii* | district was a disgrace to our election ? system.' etc. C Would Regret Investigation. "Briefly I cannot go into details or cover all the points your letter would * suggest, but I have this to say: "Not being a.member of the House* S of Representatives, I cannot with any * show of reason be expected to actively enter in to the matter in that body.. , I would regret exceedingly if any of J the members from South Carolina T should feel called upon to press for j an investigation of the conditions and I charges of bribery which obtained in ^ the recent primary.. There are bet- J ter wavs to safeguard our primary r. than to ventilate that election here, a No one knows better than I do that, * unless we do purify it and make its verdict more trustworthy and reliable, the people wilL have nothing to e do with it. It will be destroyed as it ? should be, and those who want high " office in South Carolina will be left to fight it out at the polls when the legal election comes off in November. ? "This would inevitably result in d bringing the negroes back into our politics. All of them that could register would be registered and carried to the polls, led by white men and protected by white men. Unless we reform the entire system of crimi- _ nal procedure so as to guarantee con- | viction and punishment for violations jf law, as well as guarantee freedom 5f law, as well as guarantee freedom from promiscuous pardoning of :riminals, the State would soon grow so corrupt and debased and its politics so debauched that there would ^ je nu living in n. Keep the Negro Out"Whatever else happens, let us see to it that the white people continue as they do to be the only arbiter in !>ur politics. We cannot afford?it ivould be a crime if we should do it? :o have the negroes mobilized and beiome the controlling factor in our election. Even if we are not able to. stamp out the use of money altogethjr?which we will never be able to do. f the negroes get control of our State Government again?we caa purify our elections and safeguard! them, of the Legislature of South Carolina will only do its duty when it meets again in January. Men are at work now, as I happen to know, preparing a bill which will do this ao?ording to the law and Constitution, fhis hill will safeguard the ballot N af every white man entitled to vote, j No good citizen wants to dbrfran- -| hi cn onu u/hifp man fho coma . time no good citizen wants white men | not entitled to vote to have anything to do with our elections. Working for Better Law. "I am enlisted in this fight for the ;| balance of my life, and will do all I possibly can to bring about such a law and the creating of a public sentiment behind it that will compel its enforcement. "This generation of younger South *' Carolinians knows nothing about the horrors of negro domination and negro political activity. I passed all through it from 1868, the first year in which they ever voted, to 1876, the year in which we overthrew the carpet-bag government. "Jf the Legislature will do its duty we will never have any more troubl in our primaries such as we had lai summer. If it does not do its dutj then all good Democrats must see t it that a convention of the Democrat ic party shall be called early nex year to make such changes in th constitution of the party as will safe guarri and purify the primary. Fearful Demoralization. "You say: 'We do not propose t let our few editorials printed imme diately after the election be all w have to say concerning the matter.' beg that you do not let that be al you have to say, but continue to agi tate the matter and educate the peo pie up to their duties. "I have heard so much that sad dened me and caused me to blusl about the corruption and bribery ii the last Congressional race in you: district that I have been forced t conclude that there must have beei Tearful demoralization. If there ha< been a contest for Mr. Whaley's sea by any one, the facts would all havi been brought out under oath.
