But that is what the sieter, state

vie time.
And thousands of people in South
Carolina today are wondering. not -

There was probably never a frank

dispatch sent the News and Courier
by its Washington correspondent,
which contains this statement: "It -
understood that Mr.. Lever intends
to enter the fight only if he becomes
convinced that Senator Tillman cav

can be convinced by his own SUP

can he so convinced. then he IS ey-

Does Mr.. Lever think that ne has sucn

and demand Of US that we return him
to his seat in congress because Till
man was so bull-headed that ne
wouldn't let him make the race for the
senate Does he think he has the sew
enth district in his vest pocket?
AS had been expected, Senator Till
mans announcement is based upon
his judgment that the nation and the
people of South Carolina can't get
along without him. He admits that he
stated positively in 1914 that he
would not be a candidate for reelec-
ton. 1t is just as well that ne admit
it, because it is written into the Con-
gressional Record. But a little thing
like that does not bother the senior
senator, Conditions have changed,
he says-the old slogan of politicians
whose acts belle their promises.
The main burden Of Senator %ili-
mans plea is that he is standing by
the president. That is admitted-to
the extent Of the senior senator's now
feeble ability. So are the people of
South Carolina standing by the pres
ident, and so is every man whose
name has so far been mentioned i'll
