This morning the returns show 272 electoral votes for Wilson against 2ftb for Hughes, a ma jority of 13. Incidentally California, which held the balance for over two (Lays before swinging to Wilson, has 13 electoral votes." ? Spartanburg Herald. Hereafter, New York and New Eng land can do the nominating if they want to, but the South and the West are going to do the electing, says the < Ireenwod Journal. At. a meeting of a number of hews pa|H>r publishers and editors in Colum bia. Krblay. ways and means for meet ing the shortage of print paper was Ulucusscd. A committee was appoint ed to consider plans for the purchase! of white pa | mm' in hulk for all the pa pers in the state and another commit tee was appointed to Investigate the matter of building a paper factory at some point in the state. Paris, London, Tokio ami other pa iH*rs comment favorably on this nation re-electing I'reshlcnt Wilson. The l*a lis Petct Journal says: "President WllsoifS victory Is highly satisfactory to us for twef reasons. The lirst is thut for four years American |h>1 1 1 ics will be free from all electoral eonsiderat ions as the constitution for bids President Wilson seeking a third term; The second reason, is that the result of the election must put new life into American neutrality. Evident ly an immense majority of the electo rate pronounced against war, but apart from the millions of voters who a|> p roved the vigor with which the presi dent forc?*d the <?ermaiis to recede on the submarine question, other millions voted for Hughes because he demanded an even firmer defense of American rights. The chief executive Is obliged to take into action this double wi:*.h. Just as Hughes could not have Ignored the verdict against war. so Wilson must take into consideration the con demnation of a line of ^x>llcy which Uoosevelt has characterized ns back boneless." Both Klected. Hughes and Wilson were both elected by a certain church in Greenville Mon day night, one was elected superin tendent of the Sunday school and the other secretary. ? Greenville News.

Kverythlng about the election Just over has been so unusual and in many ways so remarkable that is is no won der it has stirred the feelings of the ]>eoplc of the nation as nothing has in ii great while, one of the w^rTi<> tlceable thing?} has been the great in terest manifested in the results of the people of the nation* as nothing else has been the one topic of conversation dur ing the past four days, the newspai?er reports on the screen and in print have had eager readers, and the tele phones have been kept busy by Inqui ries for., "the latest." Out of this uncertainty which has been the cause' of the anxiety in the minds of the friend's of the opposing candidates, the feeling of belonging to a big and great country has come. In everyday life one docS not think of what the name I'nltcd States means, and what a vast multitude is affected by the acts of just one man, their highest servant, who has l>ceu placed in the White House to |i>ok after the Interests of the nation, hi most elec tions, the result was known when a few of the larger States had been heard from. This Is well illustrated by the fact that the election was first giv en to Mr. Hughes by some of the coun try's leading ncwspn|>ers when the re turns from a few of the big states had come in. Hut the event has proven that even the most remote corners in this broad laud have had something to do with naming the chief magistrate of this republic. The few votes from precincts on the mountain sides in the States of the far West, where even the telephone does not reach, have been eagerly awaited as the cumbersome old stage coaches ploughed their way through drifts of snow. Not only the destinies of the I'nited States, but of the world Itself, considering the Im portant position that this nation now occupies In international relations, were Involved in those few' boxes bear ing the sovereign will of the hardy mountaineers. One little scratched strip therein counts for as much as if it had been scratched by Jno. 1). Rock efeller or J. I\ Morgan. If one but stops to think of the thousand*- and thousands That watched the weary hours through while the results were being gathered by alert newspaper men and flashed across the continent, be Is bound to have a feeling of pride In being a part of such a citizenship and In. looking forward to what may be carved out of the, future. The mayiu^r of gathering the elec tion news is in itself a wonderful thing and the difficulties involved in the task were never greater than in this In stance when so many of the establish ed precedents counted for naught. The working corps of the Associated Press lies labored with unflagging zeai ever since the |h>I1s closed, affected by no Interest of any sort save that of find ing out the truth, and It is a compli-' ment well deserved that ito <"flash" telling that Republican Chairman Rowcll, of California, had conceded that state to Wilson, was the first re jx>rt accepted by the country ot large as making certain the reelection of the President.

CAN NOT REACH AGREEMENT Appi'oetion of Eight-Hour Law Still Unsolved After Important CQ.nfer enoe. ? See Different Meaning of Provisions. ' Washington ? -Danger of a nation Wide railroad strike, which was be lieved to have- been averted by the passage of the Adamsou eight-hour law, haH not entirely disappeared, it developed here when representatives of the railroads and the four brother hoodn, comprising 400,000 employes, failed to reach an ugreeinent at* to the proper application of the new law. The stumbling block, both sides ad mitted, was the existing' mileage sys tem of compensation. The announcement of the latest deadlock betweeu the railroads and their employes came at the conclus ion of an all-day conference between the national conference committee of the railways aud the brotherhood chiefs, which had been arranged in September. "We mot," said tClisha Lee, chair man of the railroad managers and the conference, "for the purpose of exchanging ideas on tho application and operation of the Adamson law. We failed to reach an agreement and we are nqt certain that another meet ing will take place." William G. Lee, president of the Brotherhood of RailVay Trainmen, spokesmen for the employes in the absence of A. B. Garfetson, of the Order of Hallway Conductors, declar ed in a statement that in the event of evasion by the railroads of the Adamson law. summary action would be taken by the brotherhoods. He said that the strike order which was jdlreetlx responsible for the law. was still in effect ,/tind the brotherhoods would not hesitate to enforce it if the occasion warranted it. "The brotherhoods asked for this conference,". .said Mr. Lee. "At the morning session we discussed the ap plication of the law and found that there whs no basis upon which we could possibly agree. Another set back, besides the elimination of-ttrer mileage system, was the deteermina tion of the railroads to continue their suits to determine the constitution ality of the law." ? PRESIDENT IS BUSY AGAIN 4N USUAL WAV, Asks With Much Concern About Com plexion of Next House. Washington. -^President Wilson was bark at his desk in the White House, after an absence of 2 months, pre pared to take up Important foreign problem* which have been held in abeyance pending the election as well as domestic questions. These in cluded the German submarine ques tion. the Mexican problem and a num ber of Federal appointments. The President was expected to con sider first the submarine situation which is admittedly serious. A sum mary of recent developments in Ger man submarine warfare, prepared by the state department, was ready to be laid before him and, In addition, he prrobublv soon will confer again with Ambassador Gerard on the situation. - The President has not even consid ered the question of changes in his cabinet, according to Administration officials, who characterize as prema ture reports that he had decided on such changes. It is possible, how ever, that one or two cabinet officers may not remain after March 4. The President asked first for the latest information on the political make-up of the House of Representa tives in the sixty-fifth Congress. He was told indications from present re - turns were that the Republicans would have 217 members and the Dem ocrats 212 with six members of other parties. "WON'T DISCU88 1920" MR. ROQ8EVELT 8AY8.
