WHAT DOES TnLMAN THINK
"South Carolina" Asks 20 Whom Sen.
ator Refers In His Remarks Abou.


sane man would believe Judge Jones
favors social equality, / have been
wondering what he thought of the
demagogue that would try to deceive
the people and arouse their preiu-
dices by uttering publicly such a
charge?
have been wondering what Sen
ator Tillman things of the man who
seeks to stir the passions and ami
mosities of the populace by publicly
alleging or insinuating that his oppo-
nent is of mixed blood
AS ] have read Senator Tulman's
letters. have been wondering what
he thinks of governor who stands
by an officer of the law, his own ap-
pointee, to whom men swear that
they have paid graft and who him
self does not deny the charge.
Does Senator Tillman think tbe
State is safe under such an admin
istration?
Can the best legislature we may be
able to elect remedy such state of
affairs?
Does Senator Tihman wish to see
this state which he has served so
long given over to this and other
forms of lawlessness and corruption ?
have been wondering whct was
Senator Tillman's estimate of our
governor when he wrote. "Sensible
men will never weigh Senator Till
man and Gov. Blease in the same
scales. If the fools do, it is not any
fault of mine" And, incidentally, |
am wondering what he thinks of the
rampant Bleaseites
have been wondering what Sen
ator Tillman thinks when he failed
IN MS second letter to state that
Blease is eminently qualified for the
governorship although bombarded by
Tho Blea:ejtes for such testimonial.
Judge Jones has offered 500 in
gold for such testimonial from SEN
ator Tillman. Senator Tillman has
been bombarded for such a tcsti-
monial. Senator Tillman has written
second letter But Judge Jones
has the satisfaction OF still having his
500 in gold down safe in his jeans.
And / cannot help wondering what
Senator Tillman thinks of C!ease for
governor
Senator Tillman processes great
humiliation of heart at the vulgar
ity, blackguardism, obscenity and in :
decency enacted in the present DO
litical campaign in South Carolina.
His fellow senator's jeer at him and
cause him to be silent in shame
have been wondering whom Sen
ator Tillman is thinking of as pub
licly engaging in "vulgarity, black
guardism and indecency."
have been Wondering who he
thinks has been talking on the stump
about pmps, political prostitutes,
guttersnipes and niger sweethearts.
have been wondering if Senator
Tillman thinks this vulgarity, abuse
and indecency began with this cam
paign.
L have been wondering if Senator
Tillman read the inaugural address
of Gov. Blease, and the message to
the legislature which had to be re-
fused adimttance to the records. and
his remarks about the supreme court
and the legislature and the Ansel dis
pensary commission, etc
have been wondering if Senator
Tillman has noticed that ever since
Blease took his seat as governor, we
have had this stream of abuse, vitup-
Grafton and indecency pouring forth
upon everything that did not bear a
Blease tag and upon every person
that did not wear Blease halter. |
wonder if Senator Tillman thinks, we
ought to be harassed and scourged
with two more years of this thing.
/ have been wondering if Senator
Tillman thinks that it is this cam
paign alone which has brought dis
grace upon the tie and a feeling of
shame to the prouL Carolinian as he
meets the citizens of other states or
whether it is also the two years of
Bleaseism with its volcanic fury and
turbulence that is causing us to hang
our heads in shame when we meet
the people Of other states.
Let Senator Tillman ask his fell
low senator's whether IL iS what South
