As in virtually all of the Billy Sun
day campaigns. the Methodists came
out winner in the Washington drive.
leading the list Of trail-hitters with
1858 Methodist Episcopals and 252
Methodist Protestants.
And, as In almost every other drive,
the Hebrews brought up the rear
end of the brigade with only thirty
three trail-hitters. There were sixty
six Christian Scientists and seventy
six United Presbyterians, S6s Con-
gregationalists and 5l7 who were just
plain trail-hitters. giving no church
preference. And there were 5i7 mis-
cellaneous" who proclaimed them
selves adherents to such sundry and
remote religions that classification
was impossible.
The final audit of the 15.952 trail

Sen. TILLMAN
RECONTESTING
23-YEARSEAT
"Pitchfork Ben" Throws
Hat Into Ring Against
Blease for S. G.

"Pitchfork Ben" Tillman has
thrown his hat into the ring again.
After twenty-three years in the Uni
ted States Senate, the South Caro-
linian will contest for his seat once
more.
This time he will make the race
against Cole l. Blease, former gov
ernor of South Carolina. There is a
strong possibility that Asbury F.
Lover, chairman of the House Agri-
cultural Committee, and one of
President Wilson's chief lieutenants,
will enter the fight.
The race will be based on national,
instead Of State. issues. Former Gov.
Blease was bitterly opposed to the
war declaration and the draft, and
! has criticized the President in most
caustic fashion.
Senator Tilfman declared four years
ago that he would not run again.
But in a statement issued today, he
says in this wartime the life of the
individual belongs to the nation, and
How can I best serve my country
| in the only question patriots are ask
| ing themselves.
'If retired now I would feel II
an act Of cowardice." he says" I
have all to lose and nothing to gain
by entering the race. But 1 would
feel like a deserter in the fact of
the enemy.
81 believe the people of my State
want to win the war. and the only
way is to uphold the Presidents
hands.
ANY man sent to the Senate now
from South Carolina who would not
sustain the President whole-heart-
edly would be a traitor to the best
interests of our country and utterly
useless to his South Carolina con-
stituents."
Senator Tillman, who has not
been invigorous health for years,
says he will not take the stump
against Blease, who is a hard cam-
paigner. but will remain in Wash
| ington "at his duties instead of in
dulging in the mere bandying of
words upon the stump"
Mr.. Lever, who took the food bills
and the agricultural bills through
the House against tremendous pres
sure has issued a statement, saying
he will not yet make a positive an

II they had stayed with the COM
pany in private work. Robinson
said the general manager of the
work had received SIS, 900 last year,
and this year was raised to s25,OOO.
This, he said. was on the theory
that vast responsibilities would be
placed on him at Hog Island.
Gets CrOss-ExamIned.
Under crOss-examination by Sen-
ator Johnson. Robinson admitted
that the managers 1917 salary was
$4,000 plus a $4,000 bonus; and that
this year it would be $25, 900 regu-
lar plus the usual bonus.
What you have really done,
then" said johnson. "is to double,
yes, more than double this mans
salary the minute he went on gov
ernment work."
You might say" said Robinson.
that he got $4,000 last year and
about $50. 900 this year.
Cutting off bonuses in both years,
which, as you say. are dependent
on the company's general earnings,
he is assured of more than twice
as much by the government as he
ever earned before in his life"
Robinson said this was so. but
that nevertheless the manger was
worth all he was paid.
Senator Nelson received a letter
from a Minnesota banker saying
that it had become difficult to sell

Cannot they be persuaded to
work for patriotic motives?"
Our men are patriotic, many of
them have enlisted in the army"
None apparently have enlisted in

they must skimp and save, and send
their sons at $50 a month to the
