'l'lte Hprlngtleld Republican throws
Ilia light on the {'resident's luck n unt
ie r atul its ap|>caruucc in results of
tho election :
"Proaldent Wilnon has always instat
ed that 1 :i was his lucky number.
There are, for Instance, 13 letters In
his name. < hi Tuesday Charles E.
Hughes cast ballot no. 114 In a New
York polling place, declaring that it
was his lucky number and tlmt he
was born on a Friday. 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

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

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.

\ (Jreat Country.
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. The President's secretary
Waited uufil this had- oorac ? before

UNITED STATES IS AGAIN FACINQ
PROBLEMS WITH RAILROAD
M*N.
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.
