DIX ELECTED GOVERNOR
OF GREAT EMPIRE STATE
COL. ROOSEVELT'S CANDIDATE
GOES DOWN TO DEFEAT.
Plurality Exceeds Fifty Thousand
Democrats Also Elect Governors
in Four Other States.
News and Courier, 9th.
Elections held throughout the coun
try yesterday resulted in a political
oonvulsion of far-reaching extent,
similar at many points to the famous
tidal wave of .1882, and apparently
more widespread in its effect.
The indications toward midnight
were that the national house of rep
resentatives had been carried by the
Democrats, reversing the present Re
publican majority of 43.
The United States senate will prob
ably have a reduced Republican ma
jority, as a result of legislative elec
iions held in many States.
In New York State John A. Dix,
Democratic candidate for governor, is
elected over Henry L! Stimson, Repub
lican, by a plurality of about 55,000,
reversing the Republican plurality of
70,000 in 1908 for Governor Hughes.
In New Jersey Woodrow Wilson,
Democratic candidate for governor, is
elected over Vivian M. Lewis, Repub
lican, by about 15,000 plurality, re
versing the previous Republican plur
ality of 8,000 for Governor Fort.
In Massachusetts Eugene N. Foss,
Democratic candidate, has defeated
Governor Eben S. Draper, Republican
candidate for reelection, by about 30,
000 plurality, reversing Governor
Draper's former plurality of 8,000.
In Connecticut Judge Simeon E.
Baldwin, Democratic candidate, is
elected governor over Charles A.
Goodwin, Republican, by about 4,000
plurality, reversing the previous Re
publican plurality of 16,000.
In Ohio Governor Judson Harmon,
Democratic candidate for reelection,
appears to have carri4d the State by
about 15,000 over Warren G. Harding,
Republican candidate.
In New Hampshire Robert H. Bass,
Republican candidate for governor, is
leading Charles E. Carr, Democratic
candidate, by about 6.000 plurality.
In Pennsylvania the election of John
H. Tener, Republican oandidate for
governor, is claimed by a large plur
ality.
In Rhode Island, Governor Pothier,
Republican candidate, is slight:ly in
the lead over .Lewis A. Waterman,
Democratic candidate, with a plural
ity much reduced from that of 1909.
In Tennessee the fusion candidate,
Ben W. Hooper, is apparently elected
by 15,000 plurality.
Democratic governors have been
-elected in Alabama and South Caro
lina.
In Iowa the Democrats claim the
election of Claude R. Porter for gov
ernor, but this is not yet conceded.
In Wisconsin the election of the
Republican candidate for governor,
Francis E. McGovern, is claimed by a
reduced ma,iority and the return of
Senator LaFollette to the United
States senate is assured.
In Michigan Charles E. Osborne, the
Republican candidate for governor,
appears to have a safe lead over L. T.
Hemans, Democrat.
New York, Nov. 8.-Returns at 10
o'clock tonight indicate that Jolan A.
Dix, Democrat, has been elected gov
ernor of New York over Henry L.
Stimson; Republican, by between 55,
*00 and 65,000 plurality. These figures
may be reduced or increased by re
turns from up-State rural districts.
New York city gives Dix a plural
ity of at least 100,000, which more
than offsets the greatly reduced plur
ality of the Republicans up-State. Two
years ago the greater city gave Chan
lMr for governor less than than 60.000
ulurality.
Perhaps EnUre Ticket.
Below Mr. Dix on the ticket the
result is uncertain at this hour, al
though tending toward Democratic
success. Thomas F. Conway, the
Democratic nominee for Lieutenant
governor, appears to be running only
slightly behind Dir.
The complexion of the legislature,
'wtich will select a successor to Sen
ator Chauncey M. DePew, will be set
tled only by more complete returns,

First Democratic Gain.
In New York city Herbert Parsons
Republican, was defeated for reelec
tion as a representative to congress
by J. M. Levy, Democrat, as was Wm
S. Bennett, Republican, by Henry
George, Jr. Mr. Parsons's defeat is
the first Democratic gain in the house
of representatives registered in to
day's elections throughout the coun
try.
Theodore Roosevelt's home districi
in Oyster Bay, gave Dix a plurality of
204, as against a plurality of 793 for
Hughes in 1908.
In Utica, Charles A. Talcott, Demo
crat, defeated Millington, Vice Presi
dent Sherman's nominee for congress
by 3,768.
Early returns indicate that Dix's
plurality throughout the State would
probably reach 100,000, but his net
gain was reduced as the rural dis
tricts began to report.
Statement from Mr. Stimson.
New York, Nov. 8.-Henry L. Stim
son attributes his defeat to causes
nation-wide and a g-- .rL!a1 niovmen
of the Republican party toward pro
gressiveism.
"There seems to be a grournd ll
all o - r the com;iz r " h-, sai- tc.n:ght
"and I was caught in it. I think it's
only the beginning. We're beginning
to have a realignment of political par
ties and the Republican party is going
through the agony of becoming pro
gressive. The returns speak for them
selves. I have nothing to regret.
We've had.a good, clean fight. I was
surprised that I ran so well up with
the rest of the ticket."
Mr. Stimson^ first conceded his de
feat at 8 o'clock this evening. An
hour a4d a half later he sent a tele
gram to John A. Dix, congratulating
him on his election.
The Republican candidate received
returns at his personal campaign
headquarters in the Manhattan hotel.
With him were his wife, his father,
Lewis A. Stimson and a party of rela
tives and friends.
Wilson's Election Indicated.
Trenton, N. J., Nov. 8.-Returns
from the election in New Jersey today
were very slow in coming in tonight,
but figures aTailable at 10 o'clock in
dicated the election of Woodrow Wil
son, Democrat, for governor, the only
State office to be filled, by between
10,000 and 20,000 plurality, over Viv
ian M. Lewis, his Republican oppon
ent. Most of the early. returns from
former Republican strongholds, while
they show Lewis to be in the lead, a
falling off in the normal Republican
vote is indicated, on which the Demo
cratic claim for Wilson's success was
based.
At 10 o'clock onay 87 of the 1,393
voting dist.ricts had been heard from.
These gave Lewis 12,769; Wilson 11,
599. In 1908 Taft received in the same
districts 17,895 to 9,887 for Bryan.
Stlmson Congratulates Dir.
New York, Nov. 8.-At 9.20 o'clock
Mr. Stimson sent the following tele
gram to Mr. Dix:
"The present returns clearly indi
cate your election. I congratulate you
and send you my good wishes for the
success of your administration."
Next Attraction.
Last season's greatest success, "St.
Elmo," will return to this city next
Tuesday night, November 15, at the
opera house.
This is the exact same production
which played to capacity business in
all the principal cities of the South
last year. It was dramatized from
Augusta Evans' famous book by Neil
Twomey, and is considered the best
stage version of the popular story ever
written.
Just as the book of "St Elmo" has
retained its popularity all these years
and will probably live forever, so will
the play of "St. Elmo" live forever. If
the reading of the fascinating story
has thrilled you, can you imagine
what the effect the play will have,
when you are permitted to see and
hear those familiar characters that
heretofore have only existed in the
imagination.
St. Elmo Murray, whom all the girls
have raved over and whom the men
have admired, is made most attrac
tive in the play, and the actor who
plays the part has become a matinee
Idol throughout the South.
Edna Earl, the lovable heroine, is
also a charming character, in the

Chicago, Nov. 9.-Complete returns
on the election of representatives in I
congress indicate that the Democrats
will have a working majority of 30 in
the next house. The number of Dem
ocrats elected to Congress, according
to latest returL)s, which are of an un
officials character Is 226.
The Republican representation will
be 164 or 165, or 8 seats less than the
Democrats now have in the 61st con
gress.
In Pennsylvania.
The 11th Pennsylvania district,
which is represented in the 61st con
gress .by a Republican, is in doubt. 1
The 12th Pennsylvania district, also t
normally Republican, is likewise I
doubtful. The earlier returns indicat
ed the election of Robert E. Lee, and 4
he is carried in the table as represen
tative of this district.- Later returns, I
however, give his Republican oppo- 4
nent, Robert D. Heaton, an excellent
fighting chance, and the official count
will be necessary to determine the re
sult.
In Wisconsin.
Absolute confidence is not felt in
the returns for some of the Wisconsin
districts, dnd it is not impossible that
the official figures will change the to
tals of the two parties. Th A-5th Wis
consin district is claimed by Victor
L. Berger, Socialist. Henry F. Co
chems, the Republican candidate, does
not concede Berger's election, and a
recount may be necessary to decide
the election.
Election Summary. I
The political upheaval of Tuesday t
was followed yesterday by a general I
survey of the field, which disclosed d
with greater detail and precision just I
what results had been accomplished. I
Latest calculations on the National c
House of Representatives, based on I
complete, but unofficial, returns, shiow a
that the Democrats will have a safe I
working majority of 30.'
The outcome of the United States ~
senate is now definitely settled. The C
Republicans are assured of 17 new i
senators, which, with 34 hold over
senators, give them a total of 51. The I
Democrats are assured of 15 new sen
ators, which with 25 hold overs, give t
them a total of 40. I
Beveridge Admits Defeat. I
Indianapolis, Ind., November 9.
Senator Beverdidge's hopes for anoth- ~

conclusively that the Democrats had C
elected the majority of the members ?
'of the Indiana assembly, which will C
meet next January to choose Mr. Bev- t
eridge's successor. According to the t
latest returns, the Democrats will t
have a majority on joint ballot of 32. ~
John Worth Kern has been endorsed ~
by the Democrats for United States a
senator, and in all probability will be- a

SOME PRESS COMMENT. *

rorkville Enquirer.
The case of Milton A. Carlisle, the
iewberry banker, who has just been
entenced to five years' imprisonment
or violation of the national banking
aws, is a sad one. Mr. Carlisle is no
rdinary thief. He is no thief at all.
.here is no evidence that he violated
he law for the purpose of personal
ain. There is no reason to think that
te profited by the offense he commit
ed. He only did what many other
lankers have done and continue to
o without being found out. His of
ense would not have been discovered
robably, except for "unfortunate cir
umstances. He risked discovery and
unishment for a chance of saving his
.ssociates and 'himself from financial
ass. It is not to be claimed that he
ras justified, for he was not. He was
'ound to obey the law governing the
onditions under which he was work
rig. He was under oath to do it.
Vhen he reached the point where it
ecame necessary to violate the law or
brow up the sponge, he should 'have
brown up the sponge. That Is where
:e made 'his great mistake. He took
,terrible risk and tailed where others
.ad succeeded and that 13 about all.
nion Times.
Milton A. Carlisle, former president
f the National Bank of Newberry, was
onvicted on five counts of an indict
1ent alleging misapplication of funds
f the institution.' He was sentenced
Sfive years in the Atlanta peniten
ary. The convicted man will ap
eal to the circuit court of appeals,
rhich meets three times a year at
tichmond, Va. When our laws reach
11 classes of crimnals, high as well
s low, there will be a general im
rovement in affairs. There needs to
e a quickening of the financial con
cience. There are too many shady
nancial transactions that go un

rould be far less failures if the law

DEATH OF MR. J. H. M. EINA-RDO
An Old Ex-Newberry Citizen Dies in
Augusta and is Brought to His
Former Home for Burial.
Early Wednesday night Mrs. M. L.
Lovelace received a telegram stating
that her brother, Mr. James H. M.
Kinard, had died suddenly and would
be buried at Newberry. Early yester
day morning the news of Mr.- Kin
ard's death spread rapidly and all
around could be heard expressions of
sorrow at the death and words of
praise for the life of James Henry
Mathias Kinard, the third child of the
late Solomon P. and Susan Kinard,
of Newberry, good old people who
were known and loved by all in the
community and surrounding country.
Mr. James Kinard died Wednesday
afternoon at 5 o'clock at the home of
his daughter, Mrs. E. S. McNeill, in
I Augusta. He had been in wretched
1-health for the past two years. One
year ago last Friday he left Newberry
to make his home with his daughter in
Augusta. When he left he had or
ganic heart disease, several years
previously having had a slight stroke
of paralysis. Mr. Kinard was sixty
three years old on the 3rd instant,
nearly sixty-two years of his life hav
ing been spent in the town of New
berry. He was born at Jolly Street,
and his parents moved to town- in his
infancy. On October 4, 1868, Mr. Kin
ard was married to Miss Florence V.
Mooney, of Greenville. She died
eight years ago. The married life of
Mr. Kinard was a happy one. He was
a genial, true-hearted and irellab'e
man, prompt and regular and steady
in all of his duties, flithful to every
obligation. For long years he was
secretary for various orders to which
he belonged. They all wanted him
for secretary and kept Lim in that
office. There never was a more faith
ful, devoted, reliable and thoroughly
consistent officer of any lodge in any
fraternity.
Mr. Kinard was a self-made man
and a printer. He received his train
ing under the teaching of the late
Messrs. T. F. and R. H. Greneker, and
was a competent workman in the me
chanical department of a newspaper
and job printing office. The old New
berry Herald under the Messrs.
Greneker had the benefit of his skill
and experience. In 1883 he associat
ed himself with Messrs. *W. H. Wal
lace and W. P. Houseal in the control
and management of the Newberry Ob
server, and was connected with the
Observer until a year ago. His rela,N
tions with all the local members of
the newspaper fraternity were ever
agreeable and pleasant.
Mr. Kinard leaves four children
Mrs. E. S. McNeill, of Augusta, Ga.;
Mr. George M. Kinard, of North Caro
lina; Mr. Julian H. Kinard and Miss
Ethel V. Kinard, of Augusta. There
are also surviving one sister, Mrs. M.
L. Lovelace, and one brother, Mr. W.
A. Kinard, of Sumter.
The remains arrived on the 3.20 C.,
N. & L. train yesterday afternoon.
They were met by the members of the
Masonic fraternity and buried with
the honors of that order. The Rev.
A. J. Bowers conducted the service on
the -part of the Lutheran denomina
tion to which the deceased belonged.
The sorrowing children and other
relatives of the deceased have the
heartfelt sympathy of the community
in the hour of their deep distress.
A good, useful man has gone to the
reward of a well-spent life.

"Yes, my lord, of one ear."
"Well," responded the judge, "you
may go, for it is necessary that jury
men should hear both sides."
Another judge, however, on a like
objection, said:
"Oh, let him be sworn. We only
hear one side of a case at a time."

LEW WALLACE'S "BEN-HUB."
To Be Presented in Columbia, S. C.,
Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday
November 21, 22, 23.
The management of the Columbia;
theatre, Columbia, S. C., have arrangi
ed with Klaw & Erlanger for the pre
sentation of Lew Wallace's powerful
religio-historic spectacle, "Ben-Hur"
Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday
evenings and Wednesday matinees,
November -21, 22 and 23.
"Ben-Hur," with its lustrous "Star
of Bethlehem," its camels, Ara.
bian steedq,. Oriental trappatry and
mimic splendor of the gorgeous East,
is beyond doubt the most elaborate
spectacle ever staged In the historyl
of the world. Its series o(
scenes present to the eye a feast of
multifarious beauty and variety all
set to a symphonic accompaniment of
graceful music. The exciting epi
sodes, such as the galley scene witl'
its horde of chained slaves, the sea
fight, the rescue in mid-sea, the thril
ling race with its quadruple teams
of galloping horses, combined with
the picturesque scenes representing
the appearance of the Star to the Wise.
Men in the Desert, the moonlit Lake
In the Orchard of Palms, where Ben
Hur and Iras make love while drift
ing in the barge, of the fair Egyptian,
the palm-waving worshippers on the
Mount of Olives, simply captivate the
great audiences that are nightly im
attendance wherever It is being en
acted.
As now arranged and staged by:
Klaw & Erlanger, the public sees a
great spectacle which appeals not
merely on the strength of Its drama
tic values, but as a collossal and pic
turesque pageant. And~ in the chariot
race, the scene which, coupled with
the popularity of General Wallace's
book, gave the play its enormous
vogue, eight horses, aided by the most
intricate mechanisms, produce the
prodigious illusion of the struggle'for
supremacy in the arena of the Circus,
of Antioch. Edgar Stillman Kelley'
brilliant musical score, which so
heightens the dignity and solsmnity
of the Biblical narrative, and was one
of the most potent factors in its suc
cess, is made a dominant feature, of
the present production, being inter
preted by a s)pecial orchestra and
chorus carried by the company for
that purpose.
Seats for "Ben-Hur" will be placed
on sale at the Columbia1 theatre box
office Tuesday morning, November 15.
Prices will range from 75 cents to
$2. It Is advisable for persons who
Intend visiting Columbia to see tfMs
