CALLS TAFT POLITICAL TOOL.
Tfllman Makes Stirring Speech to an
Assemblage of 10000 s'Red Shirts"

Anderson, S. c., August 25.-Ad-
dressing an audience of 10000 here
today, at reunion of the Red Shirt
men who in 1876 wrested the politl-
cal machinery of the state from the
negroes and carpetbaggers, United
States Senator Tillman declared that
President Taft is the tool of great
political machine" and that the Pres
ident's appointment of census enum-
orators in the South is but further
ance of his efforts to break the Solid
South" He said the machine" is
preventing Mr.. Taft from carrying out
his intentions as expressed in his At
lanta speech.
Senator Ti1lman warned the people
of the state against compulsory edu-
cation, saying that it would prepare
the negroes for the ballot and might
| in time result in their controlling
elections in South Carolina.
The reunion today was featured by
a parade in which several thousand
members of the Red Shirt" brigade:
participated, mounted and wearing rec
shirts Many women took part in th'
lparade.
