TILLMAN'S SPEECH
At Banquet Of South Carroll

poses Taft's Policy of
Breaking Solid South.

New York special in yester-
days Columbia State: Senator
Benjamin K. Tillman talked on
the Taft policy of breaking up
the splid South tonight before a
dinner of the South Carolinians
at the Hotel Knickerbocker.
Senator Tillman does not approve
Of it and he said so without
making much ado over it.

''that likes to throw bouquets at
any body. I'd rather throw
rocks instead" Then he got to
it. "There is one thing that
is on my mind, and it stays there
most of the time. 1t boils up
once in a while and when Pm
called on to make a speech, why,
it just naturally comes to the
surface. | mean the problem,
the South's problem, the problem
of the Sphinx.
"Why is the South solid? Why
does it always vote the Demo-
cratic ticket? We are in the
minority. Why should the other
fellow be coming along now and
try to bamboozle us and lead us
of after false gods after all these
years. Why the Democratic
ticket--the Democratic ticket in
this day and time! Why do L
vote tor the Democracy! Be-
cause I'm white man. That 5
why.
Taft thinks seriously and
earnestly that it would be good
to have the South split up. 1t
would be a great thing for this
Republican grab game in Wash
ington. He says the election
laws that the Southern States
have passed have made us free
OF this black peril, and that it
would be we'll Tor us to get some
OF the good that comes from be
ing mems ers of the dominant par
ty!
"You might think, if YOU only
think on the surface, that there
are benefits to be derived from
what Mr.. Taft urges.
