Ees q Good Chance.
HEsAYs sWATsoH Is DISGUSTING.

HE SAYS WAISUN rs UAS0oS4ANO.
The Senator Says Ee Cannot Under
stand Why the Georgian OPP
poses His Section and
People.
The Augusta Chronicle says Hon.
B. r. Tillman, United States senator
from South Carolina, spent several
hours in the City Wednesday night,
while on his way from his home to
Kentucky and Indiana, where he goes
to make speeches for Parker. he was
seen by Chronicle reporter to whom
be talked Interestingly Of the national
campaign.
II have never been whipped In my
life, !" said the senator when asked his
opinion of Parker's chances. II never
admit that the enemy has the best OF
US, and always take an optimistic
view Of contest. But feel like the
Democrats have good chance to go
in this year. I case this opinion on
what have seen and heard from the :
East and West. I spoke In Illinois
several times socn after the campaign
began there, and then I could not tell
much about that state. I see that
Carter Harrison has seen Parker; and
promised him to carry Chicago, which
I am confident that he can do. II
Chicago goes Democratic by Is 600
majority, Parker will have an excel:
lent show for carrying the State of
Illinois. I believe that lldiana will
60 Democratic, il for no other reason
because Taggart is on his mettle there:
and will bend every effort = his pow
er to get bis own state-and ] believe
he will. He is wonderful worker y
What about the East?n the re-
porter asked. ~:
L am confident that New York;
will 60 for Parker AS to New jersey
and Connecticus I am not so sure. Ii
think that our young man, Davis, VIII
be able to take West Virginia. Oh, no,
his age will 1t have any effect. fur
ther than having given him 3 long
time to electioneer and get influence.
I am also confident that we have "a:
good showing for several Of the West:
ern doubtful sta tes.' S.s$:sS$sss
''What DO you think Of the efectots
Watson's candidacy?'' Tentured the:
reporter. zSssl
The senator laughed one OF those:
laughs that he got cf not long ago.
when reporter asked him the same
question, and when be did not have
the time to reply. and followed with;
one Of these characteristic looks OF
derisicD, as he replied:
Tom Watson is to me one OF the
most disgusting men IN Americanpap-.
tic life"
But, Senator, he seems tohaVe adj
mirstion for you. He says that he Isl
ready to follow you on the proper
platform" !" commented the Interview
er. S5.f sss$!
AS for that, the admiration, per-
scnally, is mutual" he replied. i adj;
mire his brilliancy and unusual fntel-
lect, but''-and here the noted South:
Carolinian assumed cne Of those 5posi-S
tive looks before which great men
have quailed-''I can't see how any
man can forget his native country;
his very people, the people Of his
mother and his children, and do al hes
caa against one OF their most material
interests. % sI3sss:,-.s;

st cannot conceive . replied the
senator, Of Tom Watson being paid
to act as he is doing. K emit believe
it. I just think mat the man lacks
balance. No, I cannot see how. anyone.

When asked as to the probable ef-@
feet on the results OF Watson's cam
paign, Mr. TillDan replied that he:
die not think the effect would be ma
terial for or against either Of the,
parties. I1aNew York he was conf;
rent tha5 DehS would POLL large:
vote, and that the socialist poll would
come from the Republicans. In the
West Watson's vote would come as
much from the Republicans as from
the Democrats. It would not be a=
large vote, in lis opinion, anywhere
1 am depending, not on the wild,
changeabie vote, in this campaign
said the senator, but on the sane,
conservative people to elect Parker.
The people who own property and
have large interests at stake, don't
know when the present regime Is f-s
able to tear up the financial condi diaonss;
or plunge the country into war. I5de-:
pend on the people in the North, who
own property in the South, and who
will for dollar interests, II not for
others, vote for Parker; for they know:
that present policies will tend
to tear up social conditions, cause
strife and Generalization and endang-2
er the welfare Of property interests
nere. On this calm, sane, conservative
vote in the East AMI West I depend
for Parker's election.'' ..:.ss
The senator left on the Georgia
rain Wednesday night for Atlanta.
he will go direct to Kentucky, and
after making two speeches in that2
state, will go to Indiana to assist Tag
CART. He will be there until November
5, and won't be South again until the
day Of the election. he said that he
would try to get home in time to-
vote.
