BIS FIGHT IN NEW YORK The Final Step Toward# the Metabiivhment of His New Nationalism, llut the lUaing Tide of Democratic l>ictrine, om SIiown in the Maine friction. Will I>efewt Him. Judge Alloa II. Parker, Democratic candidate for President la 1904, took occasion Thursday to comment on khe Democratic victory in Maine and are. other matters that appear to him loom large in the political field. "The dream of a permanent Presi<V?ncy with Mr. Roosovelt in the cftiair." said Judge Parker, "has loug kninnlcd the pillows of his many folio ivers ns well as himself. They have Keen as through a glass darkly, the workings of a new nationalism when Rhe executive power shall become the jstoward of the public welfare and an ?hde;?endeut judiciary, basing its Judgment on principles instead of men, shall be no more. "Then, too, shall the good trusts Teceive the Presidential -blessing with assurance that there will he no hostile successor to transform it into a curse. Many steps have been taken to tiiat end by Garfield Pincbot aud otijej* under the leadership of their chiel, but who recently returned from a triumphant tour in behalf of the jiropogation of the now faith. There seemed to them to remain but one omre step to reach the goal?the capture of New York with Itooaevelt for Governor; to smash the Republican machine and then ride over it to o? erwhelming victory; aye, that *e?4eerl. captured the imagination? then would all the Kast surren"Mr. Hearst saw the picture, too. ^ thai r-ouu/vn urnu nloou/wi u' i t h *t.

Aye. that is the question "Yesterday he would have dared, but txHln>?ah! that is different. ".Maine has spoken and the voice that must he anh'yzed before risking this precious cargo with the voters of New York. "Will he dare? It la an old say ng, 'Never prophesy until you know. "I do not know, but my guess Ik that he will not dare." The Roosevelt Danger. William Harnes, Jr., Republican leather in Albany county. New York, fcap issued a statement in which he refers to a statement of Mr. (iriscom that the action of the Stale commutes " in selecting Mr. Sherman as temporary chairman will certainly he overturned by the convention and that Mr. Rooaevelt will preaido, which menus that he will appoint the committee on resolutiohs. ""If Mr. Roosevelt is temporary e.himrnan and if the convention the report of a radical comtnWtw on resolutions. New York will ySace herself alongside of Kansas and Iowa, and the conservative element of the Republican party which for years has been its backbone, will l>p invited to the rear and the new tudlkMiHlism coupled with the Ilryan it? pronouncement against the decisions of the Supreme Court will take Its piiwe." Mr. Karnes then says that If 'Mr. Sherman's name should be rnlilied l?> the convention and if the resolutiona committee drafts a platform endoraiitg the Taft administration, declarant; opposition to the political hysteria of the hour, "and firmly planting itself u|K?n the sane Republicanism of the past, then the party can enter the campaign with respect for itself which ought to command the respect of the majority of the electorate as it has before." "Some of the men who are urging Hix. Roosevelt's candidacy for temporary chairman of the convention against Vice-President Sherman have little realization of the rising lido of popular disapproval which Mr. Itoosevolt's speeches in the West have caused. His assumption of power is looked u|K>n with wonderment. His ability to arouse the pasAlor>H of the mob is drended in every quarter of the State and every day the menace of his political asocn ciAUb/ III lintel iJi'Wrt 21II (1 to III our In more thoroughly Appreciated. "I do not believe that his name will ever be presented to the convention against the recommendation of the State committee of Mr. Sherman. it It i*. it will certainly be voted down in the cause of true lleputdi?Mtntfun aa that the convention will convene. Thoughtful men all over the State are arouaed to the regrettable fact that Mr. Roosevelt today 9s the moat dangerous foe to the world of biislneas and labor in the United Rtates. They hope with earnest solicitude that the Republican party in thia State will not in its convention permit him to be the arbitrator of his policies and the mentor of its thoughts." # , Mease's election as Oovernor makes him a senatorial possibility two or four years hence. BLEASE AT HOME BIG CROWD AND BAND AT DEPOT TO MKKT HOL But He Hushed All Noise, Out ol Respect to Dead Child's Parents! Who Were On the Train. A dispatch from Newberry sayf Hon. Cole L.. Blease, Democratic governor of South Carolina, was accorded a most enthusiastic reception by the people of his home town Wednesday night upon hie arrival from Columbia. A crowd of men, women and children variously estimated at from 2,000 to 3,000 were at the union station awaiting the arrival of the successful candidate, who was returning from Columbia, where he had gone to receive the returns of the election. Gov.-elect Blease had been apprised that the people of his home town were waiting to welcome him, but knowing that the corpse of a little child was in the baggage car of the train in which he was traveling, and that the father and mother of the child were accompanying the remains. Mayor mease, desiring to respect the feelings of the afflicted parcuts, caused a message to be wired to his friends, who were waiting to receive him at the station. Requesting that tliey make no demonstration until the train had gone beyond the limits of the town of Newberry. When the train arrived Mr. Blease standing in the doorway of the baggage car, with bared head motioned with his head for silence from his friends. The effect of Mr. mease's attitude upon the people was remarkable. for. though hundreds had been waiting for an hour to cheer the next Governor of South Carolina, not a voice waa raised. As soon as the train pulled out the Newberry concert band began to play, and lusty cheers went up from the assembled multitude. Among those greeting Mr. Blease were a number of relatives, including his aged stepmother, Mrs. Elizabeth Blease. With his arms about the white haired lady he was led wjr uih irienus 10 a wailing carriage and In which he and his mother were placed, and 200 men with ropeB attached to the carriage began the march up the main street of the town. Reaching the stoue steps of the historic old court houee 'Mayor ItleaBO wan called upon for a speech. His remarks were very short, asking hla friends to excuse him from an extended sdeech as he was very much fatigued and needed rest. lie said that the victory he nnd his friends hau won was the greatest known in the political history of the the State, for almost every newspaper in South Carolina had aligned itself with the opposition, but the bitter fight which had been made against him had only made bim more grateful to the people who so loyally gave him their support with such little opportunity to defend himself from the violent attacks of his enemies; that the people of South Carolina had chosen him as heir governor for the next two years, and that the large majority which he had received in his home town and county, not only contributed to his election but gave absolute denial to the many accusal lous which had been made against him. He spoke feelingly of his love for Newberry and its people and his life in the town and county nnd said it would be his purpose to so discharge the duties of the office of governor of South Carolina that the people of Newberry should never have cause to repf*et the confidence which they had Ho often shown in him as a man and | as un official. TllKKK IS NO OHANGK. ltlease Still Hum a (Jootl I<cad on Featherstone. With less than three hundred votes missing. Cole I... Blease continues to lead C. C. Featherstone by about six thousand votes. The figures are. for Itlease 56,072, for Mr. Featherstone f?0,108. Only four boxes are unreported. The relative standing of the contestants in the race for Adjutant General and for Ltailroad Commissioner has not been materially altered. Col. W. W. Moore for the former office, and Mr. George McDuffle Hampton, for the latter, have both been nominated, as already announced. In the 2d Congressional district the result of the content between Messrs. Pyrites and Patterson will remain in doubt until the State executive coinmil t<*e has rendered a decision.

THANKS THE PUBLIC - FEATHKRSTONK I8SUKS CARD TO THE PUBLIC. ' Candidate for Governor Makes Statef' nient to People as to His Position in Recent Race. > I want to thank, moHt 'heartily : the South Carolina Democrats who aUDDorted me in th? r??r?nt nrlmnrv i and to assure them that I appreciate, more than I can express, theit L unwavering loyalty. I am fully conscious of the fact that in the last primary I drew my [ support from various sources. . The prohibitionists supported me. almost to a man. Thousands of lo, cal optionists gave me their support for personal reasons. To them all I desire to express my sincere and hearty appreciation. I have been defeated for the ofllce which I sought, but viewed from another standpoint I have not suffered defeat. I nm conscious of the fact that 1 made a clean, honest, manly, fight. That 1 advocated what I thought was right, .that, which I thought to be best for the State which I love. 1 did not engage in personal abuse. Not one word did t say against my opponent. I fought for a principle and in the true sense my failure to be elected can not be called defeat. To say that I am not disappointed would not be true, but I can say, in all truthfulness, that 1 accept the result in the best spirit possible. 1 am not disgruntled. I am not sore, i shall not "sulk," but on the contrary, 1 shall continue as I have always don to work for t h?j best interests of the State. I shall do all In my power to hold up the hands of the new administration, and I urge my friends and supporters to do the same thing. No administration can succeed without the aid and cooperation of all the people and it is always the duty of good citizens to stand by the government and aid in the enforcement of the newspapers. Nearly all of them stood by me and fought nobly. In conclusion, let me say that I law and order. And especially do I want to thank am receiving daily acores of letters from my friends throughout the State, thanking me for the light which I made, and assuring me of their loyalty and sympathy. All of them come from men and women who are truo and loyal to South Carolina. I appreciate more than I can express, their words of kindness and good cheer. I am deeply touched by their loyalty and kindness. C. C. Featherstone. BLBAHK AND IIIH PliOMlHF.. What lit* Said ltiglit After Finding Out He Hud Won. Surrounded by a hillarlous crowd of his supporters close on to the midnight hour, on the day of the primary election. Cole L. fllease. alter he was certain that he had been nominated for governor, speaking in front of a hotel in Columbia said: "This is not the time to make a speech. We cannot tell what will happen yet. Let us rest on what we have got. "I want to thank you all for what V'OU have don?? for nm "1 hope that when some people eut crow In the morning they will puke until they will have to l>e sent to Dr. ! Kendall's establishment." Amid wild cheering the next Governor was conducted back into the hotel. Such a scene as was witnessed in the lobby just prior to the speech has never l>een seen in Columbia in recent years. There were hundreds of men in the lobby and when the yell was set up to have Cole L. Blease make a speech there were cheers upon cheers and Mr. Blease was ulmost lifted out to the sidewalk. Here amid another wild demonstration Mr. Blease spoke for just a few minutes as quoted above. Tuesday night Mr. Blease was called up at his hotel in Columbia and aske^l if he had any statement to make. iMr. Hlease replied as follows: "I have nothing to say. except "Praise God from Whom All Blessings Flow. I thank my friends and 1 thank God for this victory. I expect to make South Carolina the best Governor she .is i-tci it mi ior an ner people." TILLMAN ON I1LKAMK. Kx|iOfl.ii 111in to l>iMi|i|M>iiit llis Kmmil's ns Governor. Senator It. R. Tillman, at his home at Trenton Wednesday when asked about the result of the second primary, said: "It is a remarkable illustration of what little influence our newspapers have. They have been so unfair and unjust that they are utterly discredited by the people. I expect Gov. Blease to disappoint his enemies and to net with such prudence and wisdom that he will justify and make happy his friends. He has a golden opportunity, and I oelleve he will make good. No one can dispute that he hus brains, and while he has faults, like the devil he is not not as black as he has been painted." j ? GAINED A SENATOR 1 PAR REACHING KFFKCT OP THK VICTORY IN MAINH. Democrats Elect All State Officers, Two Congressmen and a Majority of the Legislature. The Democratic victory in Maine is more sweeping in its effect than it was thought at first, and both Democratic and Republican lenders in that State are surprised at its completeness. In fact it came to the Republicans like a stroke of lightning out of a clear sky. Complete returns of the vote for senators and representatives gave the Democrats substantial majorities in both branches of the 'Maine legislature which at the beginning of the new year will elect a United States senator to succeed Eugene Hale, a secretary of state, slate treasurer, attorney general aud commissioner of agriculture. The new legislature progably will be called upon to carry out the declaration of the Democratic party platforms of recent years and resubmit to the people the liquor prohibitory amendment to the constitution and to repeal the Sturgls liquor law enforcement act. According to the unofficial complete returns the leglsuature will have a Democratic majority of 36 on Joint ballot. The senate will consist of 21 Democrats and 10 Republicans, while the house will have 8 8 Democrats aud 63 Republican members. The last legislature consisted of 122 Republicans aud 60 Democrats, the Republicans having a majority of 16 in the senate and 4 7 in the house. The total vote of the leading parties in Monday's election was 13 8,556. Four yoars ago it was 130,7 90. The vote this year was nearly 8,000 more than it was four years ago. Of the vote in Monday's election, Plaisted, the Democratic candidate for Governor, received 73.64 4. and Fernalds, the Republican candidate for Governor, received 6 4,912 votes. This gives Pluisted a majority of 8,732. The first congressional district was carried by the Republicans by 300 majority. The second and third by the Democrats by 2.000 and 3,000 respectively. The fourth districts is so close that it will take the official count to determine whether it went for the Democratic or Republican candidate. The Republicans are completely dumfounded by the result. CANDIDATE ENDORSED. Republican Endorsed by the Democrats of Tennessee. The independent Democrats of Tennessee Wednesday endorsed the candiducy ot lieu W. Hooper. Republican nominee for governor, and further cut loose from tne regular wing l>y referring the latter's harmony resolution to the new independent State executive committee without discussion. Thus was formed a formidable looking triunn irate to campaign for a Republican governor, the triumvirate consisting of Republicans, independent Democrats and State-wide prohibition ists. The independent prohibitionists are so closely allied as to largely overlap iu their member ship. The possible break of the solid South outlined in the convention, extends only to one office, the governorship. There is a "gentlemen's agreement" between the independents and Republicans that neither party will invade the other's safe legislative territory and this, the independents say, assures a Democratic legislature. The regulars organized to fight it out with the fusionists all along the line. Their State committee culled a convention to meet in Nashville October 6 to name a gubernatorial candidate, adopt a platform, select a national Democratic committeeman and elect a new State executive committee. Regular leaders said the call for a new platform' is evidence of the sincerity of the Democratic organization to reunite the factions. The call it to all Democrats irrespective of past party differences Lands for Sale. 7 00 acres. 7 miles Americus; 4 00 acres red and gray level lands; bal ame sandy loam, slightly rrolling clay subsoil under all; well improved; good dwelling, ginnery, tenant houses, etc. flft.OO per acre.
