GREAT TILLMAN IS I BUT FAV South Carolina Senator Explains His Unfortunate Position on It?Convention's Act Leads Him Right. Washington, June 10.?The senate today proceeded steadily forward toward final action on the Panama canal tolls exemption repeal bill. Leader^ tonight, however, were unwilling to predict the day when a vote can be taken. riven with a night session tonight there was* no certainty of a vote on the first proposition to be disposed of the socalled Simmons-Norris amendment qualifying terms of the bill. Senator Borah, an anti-repeal leader, predicted that this amendment alone would be debated four or five hours. Action, towever, within the 1 next day or two is expected. Senator Tillman of South Carolina, today spoke, critcizing the president fer bringing the tolls issue before the country at this time and endangering the chances of the Democratic party in congressional elections next fall. He announced he would vote for repeal only because he felt his State party convention had freed him from the tolls joker in the Baltimore platform. Senator Tillman first briefly outlined the history of the exemption and ' the repeal bill.

He also urged that steps be taken to repeal the law preventing foreign built ships from operating in the American coastwise trade. This provision, he said, made for an ironclad shipping trust. Turning to the question in hand, Senator Tillman declared that he hac the highest opinion of the president "He will go down in history as on of our greatest presidents," the sens tor said of the president.
