South Carolina Rip Shorter Is to
Orate Here.

"Pitchfork Ben Tillman, United
States senator from South Carolina,
will be in Tulsa next Saturday, the
20th He will arrive at 9 O'Clock, and
will deliver one of his characters
tic addresses from a prominent street
corner. Tillman will be met by a
bunch of the faithful here and will
probably be primed as to what kind
of dope to ladle out to the natives.
Time was when Ben shone as the
freak leader of the house With fiery
tones he was wont to arise in the
Millionaire club and below forth
his spleen at most anything and ev-
crything Lately, however, he has
toned down to considerable extent.
Just why is not known, but he prob
ably was approached by like "in-
iluence" which took Senator Bailey
under its protecting wings. But of
course Tillman will be told to give
the Octopus HI, and Tillman
is an adept at that.
