In response 10 my request for an
expression Of his views on the third
party movement, Gov. Tillman
said:

attracted great deal of attention
Throughout the country, though 80
Tar ~ know very little notice has
been given 1t In this State. 1t Is
true that some ambiguous utterance-
of Col. Talbert, our Stale Alliance
lecturer, have been construed n
declarations in favor of the third
party scheme, but | dou's believe
ANYBODY of influence here has come
out squarely for it, or that Talbert
: himself is in favor Of it.
NO THIRD PARTY NEEDED.
