The elm tree beetle is best con-

and ready debater than Tillman.
While his remarks have never carried
much weight they have appealed to
the galleries and looked we'll in print.
His logic might have been poor and
his speeches inferior to those of his
kopponents, but his mannerisms have
wor the victory for him in the pop
ular mind.
Senator Tillman's brother, the late
George r. Tillman, was congress
man from the Second South Carolina
district. In the house he vas known
as one of the most quiet and unemo-
tional men that ever sat in the body.
During his service he seldom talked
and when he did he spoke simply and
to the point. The name of Tillman
was practically unknown until Sena-
tor Tillman was elected governor of
South Carolina in 1892. He celebrated
his election by forcing through the
legislature the dispensary liquor law
in that state.
Always interested in education, he
founded his second college in the
state after the Inauguration. The first
school established through his effort
was the Clemson Agricultural and Me-
chanical college at Calhouns old
home, Fort Hill, S. c. The second
school is the Winthrop Normal and
Industrial College for Women at Rock
Hill.
The successful canvass for the
ku1ernatorial chair encouraged Mr..
Tillman to try for the senatorial cleo
ton against Gen. Butler. The two men
canvassed South Carolina county by
county, and Tillman won in the legis.
lature with 131 votes against Gen,
Buffers 81 He took his seat in the
senate on March 4, 1895, and has been
reelected twice since. His term Of
office would expire in 1913 if he con.
tinued to serve.
In his career in the senate Mr.. Till
man has had stormy time. Always
ready with his voice to attack or de-
wordy war with Senator McLaurin Of
his state over a new brand of Demo
~cracy which Tillman preached in
South Carolina as commercial De-
mocracy" McLaurin dubbed it plain
Republicanism. The two senators
clashed over some trivial matter in
the senate chamber and were soon
pummelling each other like school
boys.
Senator Tillman suffered the worst
slight of his career after this fracas.
President Roosevelt had invited him,
along with the other members of the
foreign relations committee, to dine
with him when Prince Henry of Prus-
STA was the guest of honor. When the
president heard of the fight in the
senate chamber he recalled the invita-
ton to Mr. Tillman. The senator
never has forgotten the sDub and I'M
til PRESIDENT Taft occupied the White
House never entered the White House
grounds.
His fight with Roosevelt was long.
The president scored in the last en-
counter when he replied to Tillman's
criticism of his secret service policy
by publishing letters which tended to
show that Senator TillInan was inter
ested In land deal in the west whose
interests were being furthered by his
activity as q senator.
