: >.& IN RACE
SENATOR TILLMAN CERTAIN TO
ASK REELECTION.
He Is More Interested in His Farm
Operations Than Politics just Now
Though.

The Columbia Record says Senator
Tillman spent Wednesday in Colum
bia on personal business, passing
most of the ime with his friend, DR.
Babcock. He returned to his home
at Trenton on the afternoon train
and carried with him two real pitch
forks.
The Senator bought the pitchforks
uptown and had them sent down to
the union station for him at trair
time. They were wrapped UP in pa.
per until they were unrecognizable
and when he told DR.. ;Babcock what
they were the doctor insisted they
ought to be unwrapped and carried
Openly by the senator, so the paper
was taken off and Pitchfork Ben
toted the two pitchforks home on
the train without any concealment.
Two of the Senator'S friends, Con-
gresham Lever and Mr. R. !. Man
ming, happened TO be present and as
sisted in the opening up of the char
acteristic package. 1t was seen that
the tines were tipped with gold and
the senator wag twitted about hoist
ing the gold ste erdard, against which
he used to proclaim eloquently in the
days of "16 to ! or bust"
But the Senat-r is very much more
interested in pitchforks agricultural
than pitchforks political. The news
that there will De at least one candi-
date to oppose him for reelection,
Col. w. J. Talbart, does not seem to
have disturbed him at all. Senator
Tillman expects to stand for re-elec-
ton to make at least few speeches
il his health is no worse than 1t is
now, and if he is better he may
make good many speeches.
The Senator enjoys meeting the
people and only the strict orders OF
his physician and Of Mrs. Tillman,
who has always been his chief advis-
er, have prevented him from going
around more this summer. 1t Is his
determination 10 offer for fourth
term in the senate. That may be
set down as certain.
If Senator T;llman is rejected or
renominated in the 1912 primary, he
will on the 4th of March, 1913, be-
gin his fourth term as senator from
South Carolin".I Having served as
governor from .S91 to~1S95, he was
first elected tc the senate in 1894
to succeed Gen M. C. Butler and took
his seat on the 4th Of March, 1895.
He was reelected in 1900 and again
in 1906, both times without opposi-
ton.
Col. w. Jasper Talbert, formerly
congressman, has announced he will
be a candidate for senator next year,
no matter who else runs. Governor
Blease has announced that he will be
candidate for senator If Senator
Tillman is not in the race; otherwise
he will seek reelection as governor.

SLAPS US IN THE FACE
Political Landslide in the Dominion
Gives the Conservatives, Opponents
of Trade Pact with thu United
States, More than Fifty Majority


Canada slapped the United States,
squarely in the face on Thursday
and plainly said she wanted no closer
relations with us, business or politi-
CAL In the elections over there ON
Thursday reciprocity suffered an
overwhelming defeat, along with the
Liberal party whick favored that
trade pact with the United States.
A dispatch from Montreal says by
veritable political landslide, the
Liberal majority of 43 was swept
away and the Conservative party Sc
cured one of the heaviest majorities
upward of 50-that any Canadian
Parliament has ever had. Seven Cab
met ministers, who have served with
Premier Laurier, were among the de-
feated candidates.
The Liberals lost ground in prac-
tically every province of the Domin-
ion. Where they won. their majori-
tics were small. Where the Conser-
vatives won, their majorities were
tremendous. Ontario, the leading
province Of Canada, decla red almost
unanimously against the Administra-
tion and reciprocity.
Robert L. Borden, leader Of the
Conservative party, will shortly be-
come prime minister Of Canada. He
will be- supported in Parliament by a
working majority Of far more than
ample for his purpose.
The government defeat means that
the F4lding-Knox reciprocity treaty,
ratified by the American Congress in
extra session, will not be introduced
when the 18th Parliament assemblies
next month and that revised basis
of trade with the United States, look
ing to closer commercial relations
will not be possible in the immediate
future. The Conservatives are COM
mitted to a policy of trade expansion
within the Empire and closed door
against the United States.
Although reelected in two consti-
tuencies in Quebec, the defeat OF the
Liberal party also means the retire
ment from public life of Sir Wilfrid
Laurier, who, for nearly two decades,
has directed the destines of the Do
minion. Several times during the
bitter campaign, which proceeded the
election, the venerable premier said
that defeat of his party at the polls
meant the end OK his career.
A Liberal membership Of SO from
Quebec was cut down to- the suprem-
acy of the party, but it was in Ontar-
10 that the Conservatives won their
sreat victories, Spurred on by ap-.
peals to patriotism and the cry that
reciprocity was the entering wedge
for annexation, the Conservatives
swept nearly everything before them.
That province, which in the last
Parliament was represented by 80
Liberals and 81 Conservatives, will
send delegation to the next COM
! posed of 13 Liberals and rs Conser-
vatives. A notable feature OF the de-
feat was the opposition's capture Of
two hitherto Liberal seats In Saskat-
chewan.
