South Carolina Senator Said to
Believe He Is Fit Presi-

BY: w. w. Jermane.

Washington, April 21.-Tillman for
president,
The senator from South Carolina has
come to believe that he is the real
leader. of the people in the rate con-
test, and that his star will continue to
rise higher and higher, until at last
it's radiance will be seen from all parts
of the land.
This ought to result in something
tangible in the way of political re-
ward, and it is said that he is begin
ming to wonder why he will not be
quite a proper person to aspire to the
democratic presidential nomination In
1908. There has been a good deal of
talk of late about the south reassert-
ing its former political supremacy and
bringing forward one of it's own sons
for the democratic nomination. Till
man is said to believe that he is likely
to be that particular SON.
The foregoing paragraph reflects
some gossip that is these days being
heard in the quiet of the senate com
mittee rooms, and more than one sen
ator is wondering if Tillman is really
taking himself thus seriously. ...
