ING HE WILL RUN
Will Watch Developments Before
Acting-Tillman Not to Make
Speeches

Washington, March 5.-Senator
Tillman. Of South Carolina, veteran
Democrat OF the Senate and chair
man of the naval committee. tonight
announced his candidacy for the fifth
term. He said the entrance OF the
United States into the war had so
changed the situation since his an
nouncement before the 1914 pri-
maries that he would not again seek
to succeed himself, that he now be-
lieved he could best serve his State
and the nation by continuing in the
Senate
At the same time Representative
Lever OF South Carolina, chairman
Of the House agriculture committee
and author OF the food laws, issued
a statement saying he had been urg-
ed to make the race for the Senate,
but would have no announcement to
make until he had further opportun-
ity to ascertain his duty under the
circumstances. 1t is understood
that Mr.. Lever intends to enter the
fight only il he becomes convinced
that Senator Tillman cannot win
over two opponents already in the
field, former Governor Cole l.
Blease and N. B. Dial, business
man Of Laurens.
In his announcement Senator Till.
man referred to his long service and
OF the time when he used to be ready
whenever any one threw a rock al
the South to throw it back. He said
he could claim some credit for the
readiness of the navy to cooperate
with the Allies, and that with his
ability to be of service to the coun.
try as chairman of the naval com.
mittee he felt he would feel like q
deserter in the face of the enemy II
he got out.
