SPELLS REFORM That Is the Meaning ?f the Landslide and Not a Merc Slap at Teddy. ROOSEVELT A HUMBUG Of (be First Water Is the General Opinion ot Republicans and Democrats, Hut Many Democratic Ideas Which lie Stole and Frotended to Stand for Are Good. i'.acfa McCJhee, the accomplished Washington correspondent af The State, who made an extertalve tour of the country Just before the election and rhvo hla impression of things political in letters to The State, is back on Ills job at Washington. aud is now writing once more his interesting letters from the capital of the nation to The State. Ho says of course the one topic of discussion In Washington is the Democratic programme. But, coupled wr.;h this equally, of course, is ? a consideration of tho the meaning of the Democratic landslide. As already noted iu this correspondence, certain influences uro being brought to bear to persuade or to scare the Democratic house into making a fool of itsolf. This influence will be exerted with unremitting endeaxor from now on, and it will require no HtUe norve and strength of character on the part of therjoraocrata who have been elected. to the Slxty-secoud congress to resist it. No effort will be spared by the Now York proas to domiuate the situation. And tbo New York yapers are particularly influential In the South, whore, unfortunately, many people. Including not a few newspaper editors, take their cues from what those Now York papers say. These New York papers, it should be bourne In mind, really know lean about tbo real sentiment in '.he country as well as about the conditions west of the Hudson river than perhaps any other newspapers in the whole United States. Hut Just because Now York is big and the news papers thore are big. the people, espoclally. I say. In the- South, and more espeelallythoae in newspaper offices, read them and are Influenced by them. Furthermore, most of these New York newspapers get their own prevailing sentiment, honestly in most cares, 1 believe, but surely, front the financial districts of the great metropHls. rather than from the rank and tile, the ordinary, every-day citizen. These papers have set out now. and honestly again. I am willing to concede, but mlp.tHkenly, to make the whole country believe that the recent Democratic landslide is u triumph for what they term "conservatism." for the "safe and sane Democracy." which ought to be termed the "inane Democracy.". ' This means nothing, while the trusts, the flnanelal sharks and other marauders loot the people. This !*> the meaning ol ( hi> annl 1?* u. ? ? ? ? .... . u uitrpmg on squelching of Roosevelt. Now there lire those hereabouts and they are among the keenest observers of pontics In the country, who think that this Democratic victory moans nothing of the sort, moans not a repudiation of Roosevelt at all, hut a repudiation of the dominance of the Republican party by those who are supposed to be the enemlist of Roosevelt. Note, pleajo, fhe word "supposed". Roosevelt Is a humbuit of the first water, and that fact la practically admitted by everybody hereabouts, Democrats and Republicans of all shades. It baa been so recognized herea' outs Tor a Ions time. Rut at the same time the things which Roosevelt has been saying ho is in favor of are generally all right. The country wants theui. The leaders of the Democratic party wants them, so far n? they can he brought aliout within the constitution. Roosevelt has failed to get them. lie only keeps on blustering about them. Thus he is a humbug. The one towering Jeader. to whom the Democrats In these parts are turning now is VVoodfow Wilson, just elected governor of New Jersey by a tremendous majority after conducting a campaign of leadership which really led somewhere. Prominent Democrats here who are trying to influence the Democratic programme tuIlK - - - .v.. . iu tun measures wnich have boon l?ofor<; th country the past year, especially the tariff, are considering the desirability of calling Into thotr conferences the Now Jersey . governor-elect. Now I can say of my own knowl- j edge th tt l?f. Wilson, is, not In any -onso wont has beeu termed a "reactionary." He does not favor and does not have any tolerance for the methods of Roosevelt, having more respect for the law and the constitution and a tlrct regard for the truth. Itut at the same time he does favor n very decided and a very deflnlto programme of governmental reform including most of the measures that Roosevelt himself has pretended to l>e friendly to.

At Wheeling, W. Va.. Lie coroner's Jury Monday n'ght returned a verdict of accidental death In the case of lludolph Munk, the West Virginia university player, who died of injuries received in a football game Saturday. This exonerates young McCoy, right end of the Beth any team who fell on Munk In the scrimmage and was charge dwlt'u m urder. As a result of the tragedy the university council of West Virginia university canceled the remaining football games scheduled because ot the death Saturday of Capt. Rudolph Munk. Charles K. Hogg, dean of the university law school, was directed to represent the university at the funeral of the young man. There will be no more football at Rethany either tliia year as a result of the tragedy at Wheeling Saturday af.ornoon when Capt. Munk, o! the West Virginia university was fatally lujurcd in the game with Rethany college. At a meeting of the faculty and the student body it was voted to abolish the remaining scheduled games. sey governor elect for the reason that he is looked upon hereabouts, as I have said above, as the most conspicious Democratic leader In the Hast, and I wanted to toll what 1 know at>out him, that if anybody puts Woodrow Wilson down as a tool of the so-called "Interests" or as a man who is going to act in accord with this programme, this socalled "safe and sane" Democracy, there will be some mightily disappointed folks round about New York and those places which take their ones or what is "safe and sane" from certain of the New York newspapers. He knows, by the way as every oneelse can seo, that as Roosevelt did oot come nto New Jersey or refer to the New Jersey campaign, the not l>?- ascribed to the activities ot Democratic victory in that 8tate can the dethroned Oyster Bay boss. Nevertheless etforts will be made to show that Wilson's triumph in New Jersey as well as the Democratic victory every where does mean a protest against Roosevelt and what M>osevo!t is "supposed" to staud for. And you may look out for St. The oMcHtt of th?>?? efforts is to pre vent the Democratic party from reducing the tariff duties. regulatluK the corporations and making primary election laws aud adopting o.tier so-called "radical" measuies. The result lu Ohio would have been the same had Roosevelt never gone there. And so It would have been in India. Roosevelt undoubtedly won rotes for the Democratic ticKct in .Now York, but the chances are li?? also lost a goodly number for the Democrats. He did this, too, by 'he most unscrupulous demagogy of which he 1b capable, and that Is pulling It pretty strong. Nevertheless, demagogy dees work in New Yo*k, and I know some very astute political observers there who think that If Roosevelt had not enterod the. C mpalgn the Democrats would have piled up a bigger majority than they did. Of course, there is rotten rejoicing herenlmut that T. R. was defeated In New York and that, in the language of the street, he has go? his. Rut then is no considerable deception as to the real meaning of the landslide, not at least among those who caa keep their heads In aplte of Mi* din uiade by money * tools. DEFENDS OUR RECORD 1 SOUTH CAROLINA HAS BECOME A CHEAT CORN STATE. , 5 " rho Groat Yields Per Acre in the State Is Beiug Questioned by Some a People. South Carolina It coming to be 5 known throughout the United States as a great corn producing state and , there are many who doubt the great yields per acre that have been made 1 in this state. 5 I Out In Memphis -the other day a ( well known minister who ouco lived ^ in this state was making an address t before a large gathering of farmers. , He told them the story of how Jerry ^ Moore had produced over 228 bush- ^ els of corn on one acre of land and as a result, the well known preacher jittH been placed In -the Ananias ^ dub. The people don't believe that , bo much corn can be grown ou one J acre. r This minister reaMlng that he had j ranch to do to prove his statment ( luinedlato'v addresses a latter to ( it 's state asking for the document- ( nvy evidence. The aOUlavlts have ^ been furnished to the minister with a statement from the United States government expert, substantiating the large yield of Jerry Moore. A .South Carolinian In Virginia also has placed himself apparently In the Ananias Club and he makes the following appeal to the South Carolina department of agriculture. "A Virginia gentleman was recently 'nitrating* over a yield ot 100 b'l. of corn per acre, which was mnde by a Virginia farmer. Under the im<pulse of the moment (and which I now realize consisted chiefly or indiscretion) I remarked that that yield had been exceeded in South Carolina, where a yield of two hundred and fifty bushels had been made several years ago. i "The Virginian?being a Virgin ian?was too polite to speak his i thoughts, hut the expression of his face, indicated clearly that I filled all the essential reijnireinents for ' eligibility in the Colonel's Ananias j club. I now appeal to you in the name of a badly mutilated reputation. to furnish me with proof to sustain my statement either in whole or In part. "I apprehend th*t nnthu. -,m "11' | suffice but affidavits of the governor, two members of the Senate and the members of the supreme court, properly certified by h notary for the commonwealth of Virginia, with the great seal of the commonwealth affix-1 ed. In at least two colors; but if you \ have not these on tap, I would be ' glad to have any secondary evidence which you may have at hand.* The yield referred to was that by Capt. Drake of 255 bushels on one arce of land. The information has , b?'en furnished. One day Senator Smith was discussing agruculture with tho members of the agricultural committee of the senate. He mentioned the j Drake yield and was promptly doubt- ! ed by the other members of the senate committee. They knowing Senator Smith accepted his statement finally when he had produced the evidence.
