The Greenville Piedmont that is now pleading for the morals of Charleston is being edited by George R. .Koester formerly editor of the Columbia Record when the State dispensary was in its glory, and that institiition was ably advocated by this same man. We are glad to note he has reformed. Tennessee has prohibition, so far as the sale of liquor in the State is.concerned; yet there is no law in that State which pro hibits the manufacture of the nry liquid to be shipped out of the State. The supreme court has recentty decided that those who are engaged in the manu facture of liauor are liable to State, county and municipal licenses. What kind of Drohibi tion is it that collects liquor licenses? The Democratic convention of South Carolina may be captured by the students of the Uni versity, and should they, of course the Nation will fol low suit. The boys at the university have organized a "Woodrow -Wilson" club, and from this published list of memn bership we notice some of mamma's darlings in the bunchi who have hardly gotten the! taste of the "sweet rag" out of their mouths. These boys can raise a whole lot of noise. and some of them untay get their friends at home to elect them as delegates to the convention, therefore, those who do not want the old gang to get in control had better keep their weather eyse open. According to the estimate . made by the Comptroller Geni it will take a 81,000,000 appro priation to meet tile expen~ses of the State. Unless the leg~isla ture turns a deaf ear to the de mands made by the educ~ational institutions the appropriation< will exceed this estimnate. Tile students of the University will Swe have iss1 [t will pay yo ER, probable ask for an appropri ation for a law building, and the authorities will no doubt renew their demand for a new chapel: Winthrop will want a bunch of money, so will Clemson, and there you are. The taxes cannot be kept down as long as th~e legislature heeds the de mn ids of the college professors. T.here must be a halt. and. the 'coming session will, in our opin ion, take into consideration the financial condition of the people as well as the comfort. and con ven tence of the student body at the several colleges. CARROLL'S ALLEGED INTERVIEW. Richar-d Carroli, the negro ed ucator of Columnbia, is alleged to have given out an interview to the New York Age, a leading ne gro newspaper published in New York. in which he excoriates the governor of this State, and goes farther by making slanderous statements affecting the gover nor's private character. The News and Courier of Monday, is of the opinion that Governor Blease should bring suit against The Age. Should Governor B lease seek relief from the courts every time he is slandered, his whole time would be taken up; prosecuting slanderers. Carroll has been petted by the whites so long that lie feels his making a slanderous charge against the governor of this State wvill meet' with the approval of the element! he has been soliciting aid from for his school,- but lie will learn his mistake later on. In our opinion the governor should pay no attention to the article referred to, as it is un worthy of notice, and further, those who think that such a statement coming from the source it does, will injure Blease, wji find that the effect upon the masses will be to make the gov' ernor's frienids stick the closer to him, and many, who are now thinking of supporting the oppo sition will go to him also. Richard Carroll has done a lot. of work for his race in this State and his success may be attribut ed to his policy of keeping on friendly terms with the whites, but when he permits himself to break into the white man's p)olit ical family row, he0 will find that bie has overstepped the mark. T1here are some men and news papers that will roll Carroll's in terview under th]eir tongues as a sweet morsel. but when the dayj of reckoning comies, these. wil III tind it the bitterest cud they ever i~ttemnpted to chow. Sinlce the nWOve was put in WOe we ntice~ t.he R~ev. i chard arroll ma kes a statement in he1 News and Courier, repudiat-j ng' the interview publishied ini he New~ Y ork neCwspper. He ams~ thait the reporter got ]i \ hat he said mlixed. When we c -cad the inter ie in Thr. Ar ir ied no specia u to investigs i. CHA we doubted then its correctness because we give Carroll credi for more sense. But in this da: of misrepresentation,.the reader: of the newspapers are prepare< Ito hear almost anythmng tha Imight be used to weaken th< governor's influence with th< masses. The sooner the news papers learn to treat those the' oppose with the fairness dut every mnan,the quicker will the' ~regain their influence with th( reading masses. Gov. Bleast has much to explain befor he can again receive the sup port of the people, and when he comes before them his explana nations will be given the proper consideration, the masses are not going to be mislead by shrewdly written editorials, nor are they going to repudiate a man to gratify those seeking revenge, but they will judge man by the record he has made, and if this record is satisfactory he will be re-elected by the en dorsement he merits. The peo pie are not fools, they are as competent to judge the qualifica tions of those seeking public honors as are the editorial writers of newspapers. CLIPPINGS SHOWING PROSPECTS FOR 1912. Counting Arizona and New Mexico there will be 531 votes in the electoral college which will elect the president of the United States in 1912. According to the usual method of figuring, it is safe to count as surely Demo cratic the following states: Ala bama 12. Arkansas 9, Florida 6, Georgia 14, Kentucky 13, Louis iana 10, Maryland 8, Mississippi 10. Missouri 18, North Carolina 12, Oklahoma 10, South Carolina 9. Tennessee 12, Texas 20, Vir ginia 12. Total 173. States that have strong Demo cratic leaning and may be reas onably depended on are. Cclo r-ado 6, Arizona 3, New Mexico 3. Total 12. This gives a total Democratic strength of 187. leaving 79 to be obtained from the doubtful states. Leaving out all other states that went Democratic in 1910 we tind three states which will give the Democratic candidates the necessary votes. They are New York 45, Ohio 24, Indiana 15. Total 84. Grand total 271. Under the new apportionment t will require 266 electoral votes to elec-t so these figures show a safe majority. Suippose, on the other hand. hie Democratic party should de -ide to ma-ke its tight for the ~est. It would be necessary to arry Wisconsin 1:8. Kansas 10, o'a 1 . Nebr-aska 8. California 3. Montana 4, North Dakota 3, ,outh Dakota 5, Oregon 5, Wyo- I iiing J. T1otal 79.

P. The only hope for the party is foi Democracy to make some grave mistake, either in legislation en acted at the coming session o1 congress or in the selection of a candidate to oppose Taft at the polls. Taft will be re-nominated and Taft must be opposed by the strongest Democrat in the coun try or Tpaft wilt be re-elected president. And there must be no mistake made by the Democrats in select ing a candidate. Gov. Harmon of Ohio, we believe stands the best chance, because we believe he can carry Ohio over Taft, and Ohio is a necessa y state for the Demr.ocrats to have in their cot umn, just as it is for the Repul. licans to have especially in the coming contest. Harmon carried Ohio in the last election by man~y thousand miorr> votes than did Taft for president. He has- demi onstrated. his ability to poll a larger vote in the state than: Taft can, even while running for gov ernor. As a presidential candi date he can doubtless poll a larg er vote than he did for governor. The masses in Ohio have conti dence in his ability to conduct the national government as suc cessfully and with the same de gree of credit and ability as he has the affairs of the state. And the masses have rapidly lOSt con fidence in the ability of Taft. Thousands of independent voters will cast their ballot for the one who seems to have the bette c 1ch ance of winnmng, and as th.e advantage now seems to be withi the Democrats, with Harmon at the head of the ticket, Ohio x'AiI roll up a Democratic majority never equalled by Harmon him self.-Hot Springs (Arkan sas) Daily News. Mayor Jiames Dahlmian, .of Omaha, Nebraska, a keen. stiu dient of politics says- "To win the Deiocrats must hav-t the electoral vote of Ohio, Ne w er and Indiana, dioubtful. states, in addition to the comrmoujweaths counted Democratic. Harmon, in my opinion is the man, who can carry the three states neededT. to place a Democrat in the Wh~ite House." Congressman Ma:rtin Dies,, of Beaumont, Texas, -recently said. to a correspondent of the Hous - ton Post: "Ohio has 28 votes irt the el-ectoral college. HlarmouL rcarried Ohio whoeu Ohinom --ts Lo any one, we CLOT! Republican state, and last year, when Ohio went Democratic, Harmon got nearly all the votes. SfWith Harmon at the head of the ticket in 1912 he will carry Ne w York, Ohio and Indiana in addi tion to the Democratic states and iwin the election." Congressman Atterson W. R ucker to the Rocky Mountain SNews, Denver, Colorado: "It [would be folly, it would be a po ~itical blunder not to nominate Harmon after his remarkable vic tories in Ohio. "Politicians saw in the returns Sfrom over the state interesting -fgures on the strength of Gov. Harmon. lit the three largest Ohio cities, Columbus. Cincinnati :and Cleveland, Harmon Demo Ieratic candidates won by hand somne pluralities. It is believed h~ere that the elections will make .t'he opponents of Gov. Harmnon 9 s;eek refuge. Mayor-elect Baker. j iarb and Hunt carried the sup port of the friends of the Gover bior in their prelimiinary cami $paigns. In Cincinnati the Demo -crats overcome a 15,000 normal ~Republican majority, defeating ~the entire Republican ticket, :most of which was made up of candidates seeking second terms. ~In Cleveland and Columbus, Re ifoublican office holders w e r e I wept out of office and Democrats hvere ptin their places. "-From The olumus,(Ohio,) State Journal, (Republican.) KThe election in Ohio. Novenm hber 7, was a triumph for the Denm -ocrats and it indicates that the remarkable victory won by Gov. 'H armon and his associates on the .Democratic state ticket a year 4.ago was not an accident. The tide in Ohio is toward the Democrats. Trhe remarkable victory in Ohio in 1910 was an endorsement cit the Iirst administration of Gov. Hiarmon. The 1911 DemocraticI victory indicates that nothing has happened to stem the flow o Ipopular approval Democratic Iward. IThe Cleveland Plain Dealer says the result in Cincinnati "means the absolute disintegra tion of the Republican machine, so long dommnated by George . Cox," and the Democrats will be benefited in the futur-e state elee tions, as a result. Presidnt Taft and Gioxernor aroboth citizens atnd elee-' tors of Cincinnati, urged the elec tion of Republican and Demo cratic city tickets respetively. President Taft, who excor-iated Boss Cox and his ticket in 19u5 in a speech in Akron, Ohio, sent a telegram to the effect that eon ditions in Cincinnati had chang ed since he publicly denounced the Cox gang, and he announced, be would vote the straight Re publican ticket. rThe entire Repubicran ticket urgently im was defeated-most of the candi Idates were seeking second terms I-and the entire democratic ticket, was elected. Another demonstration of the strength of the Democratic party in Ohio was given when it was~ announced that of the 119 de-e gates to the constitutional con vention elected, 70 of them were 'Democrats. The remaining 47 were div ided among the Indepen dents, Republicans and Social is.A year ago the Democrats: captured both houses of the leg lslature. but the majority was not so great as they will have in the constitutional convention. Between 90 and 100 of the del egates arec progressives. practi cally all of the Democrats being so, and the indications are that the new basis i-aw of Ohio will be~ :ecidedly a progressive docu ment. Trenton. N. J..- November- 8. Despite tihe pedrsonal appeal of Gov: Woodr-ow WVilson and Is ener-gouc campaign for a Demo -rati' leislatur-e, the next gzen ci-al aissenmbl y will sh]ow a Repub ican majority of 19 mnembers. T'he defeat of Wilson is r-egarded as especially significant in view~ f the fact that he is a poten tial :residential candidate and that he has exerted his best etort- to eep the state in the Democratic olumn in the hast off vear* befre he presid ential camipaign.

Hai'wo~i predicted Demo cia tic success in the presidential campaign next year as a result of the state and local eleGtion Tuesday. He said: "To say. that I am pleased is tobut feebly express in y del.ight. Next year I shall expect to see the Demo cratic 1e~ion win even greater victories. I consider Tuesday's results a complete indorsement of the tidmiuistration in Ohio as well as Democratic policies throughout the country."
