TEDDY'S DESIGN ll>H to Become Permanent President f the United States. MS FIGHT IN NEW YORK The Final Step Towards the E?tab1 IlKhicent of Hi# Now Nationalism, Rut the Kitting Tide of l>einocratic Rietrine, att Shown in the Maine Election, Will Defeat Him. Judge Alton B. Parker, Democratic Candidate for President in 1904, took Occasion Thursday to comtiaent on the Democratic victory in Maine and on other matters that appear to him to iooin large in the political field. "The dream of a permanent Presidency with Mr. Roosevelt in the Chair," said Judge Parker, "has long "haunted the pillows of his many follow erb as well as himself. They have Seen as through a glass darkly, the 'workings of a new nationalism when the executive power shall become the steward of the public welfare aud uu Independent judiciary, basing its judgment on principles instead of men, shall he no more. "Then, too, shall the good trusts receive the Presidential blessing with Assurance that there will be no uos tile successor to transform it into a <?urse. Many steps have been taken to that end by Garfield Pinchot and others under the leadership of their Chief. but who recently returned from A triumphant tour in behalf of the prorogation of the new faith. There jBeevned to them to remain hut one toiore step to reach the goal?the .' capture of New York with Roosevelt for Governor; to smash the Republican machine and then ride over it to overwhelming victory; aye, that Indeed, captured the imagination? Tor then would all the Bast surrender. "Mr. Hearst saw the picture, too, dad for that reason was pleased with It. Wo. he tendered his support and All will agree that he made a tender groat value. Hut will Mr. Roosevelt dare? Aye, that is the question. Yesterday he would have dared, but today---ah! that is different. "Maine has spoken and the voice that must be analyzed before risking this precious cargo with the voters of New York. "Will he dare? It is an old say 4og, 'Never prophesy until you know. '"I do not know, but ruy guess is <?bat he will not dare." The Itoosevelt Danger. /.Willium Rarnes, Jr., Republican leader in Albany county, New York, lids issued a statement in which he i-efers to a statement of Mr. Griscoru that the action of the State committed "In selecting Mr. Sherman as temporary chairman will certainly he overturned by the convention and that Mr. Roosevelt will preside, which ?neans that he will appoint the committee on resolutions. 4,lf Mr. Roosevelt is temporary Chairman aiul if the convention Adopts the report of a radical comroar?iutlons. New York will Uiivin mi . , place herself alongside of Kansas and Iowa, and the conservative element of the Republican party which for Veai^s has boon its backbone, will he invited to the rear and the new nationalism coupled with the Kryan'4te pronouncement against the decisions of the Supreme Court will take Its place." Mr. liarnes then nays that if OVlr. Sherman's name should be ratified by the'convention and if the resolutions committee drafts a platform endorsing tho Taft administration, declaring opposition to the political hysteria' of the hour, "and firmly planting Itself upon the sane Republicanism of <4he past, then the party can enter the campaign with respect for itself which oueht to command the respect of the majority of the electorate as It has before." "Some of the men who are urging Mr. Roosevelt's candidacy for tempo , rary chairman of the conventlor against Vice-President Sherman have little realization of the rising tid< of popular disapproval whijph Mr Roosevelt's speeches In thry Wes have caused. Ills assumption o power is looked upon with wonder ment. His ability to arouse the pas sions of the mob is dreaded in ever Quarter of the State and every da, the menace of his political nscen Clancy to business and to labor i morn thoroughly appreciated. "I do not believe that bis nam will ever be "resented to the eonven tlon against the recommendation o the State committee of Mr. Shermar If it is, it will certainly he vote down in the cause of true Ropu 1)1! - ? ? i can ism as that the con von (ion wn convene. thoughtful men till ovo the State arc aroused to the regrei tahle fact that Mr. Roosevelt tod a is ike most dangerous foe to th world of business and lalK?r in th Urii< d States.

But He Hushed All Noise, Out of Respect to Dead Child's Barents, Who Were On the Train. ' "L * V?u/I,al?rv HA VH A d IS J) ft T Cft x rum i/v? / ? Hon. Cole L. Mease, Democratic governor of South Carolina, was accorded a most enthusiastic reception by the people of his home town Wednesday night upon hia 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 tho arrival of the successful candidate, who was returning from Columbia, where he had gone to receive the returns of the election. Gov.-elect Mease 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 ho was traveling, and that the father and mother of the child were accompanying tho remains, Mayor Mease, desiring to respect the feelings of tho afflicted parents, caused a message to be wired to his friends, who were waiting to receive him at the station. ItequesttMir thn? fiiov make 110 demonstration until the train had gone beyond the limits of the town of Newberry. When the train arrived Mr. Mease 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 un hour to c.heiir the next Governor of South Carolina, not a voice was 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. Mease were a number of relatives, including his aged stepmother, Mrs. Klizabeth Mease. With his arms about the white haired lady he was led by his friends to a waiting carriage and in which he and his mother were placed, and 2 00 men with ropes attached to the carriage began the march lip the main street of the town. Reaching the stone steps of the historic old court house (Mayor Mease was called upon for a speech. IT is remarks were very short, asking frU.iifi* to excuse him from an extended sdeech as he was very much fatigued and needed rest. He said that the victory ho and his friends had 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, hut the bitter fight which had been made against him had only made him 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 nmrn nitsolufo denial to the many ""* fc?*? ~ * I accusations 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 and 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 reflet the confidence which they had so often shown in him as a man and as an official.

THANKS THE PUBLIC FEATHEIiSTONE ISSUES CARD TO THE PUBLIC. Candidate for Governor Make* Statement to People at* to His Position in Recent Race. I want to thank, most heartily the South Carolina Democrats who supported me in the recent primary, and to assure them that I appreciate, more than I can express, theif 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 local 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 office which I sought, but viewed from another standpoint 1 have not suffered ,defeat. I am conscious of the fact that I made a clean, honest, manly, fight. That I advocated what [ I thought was right, .thai which I I thought to be best i'or the State which I love. I did not engage in personal abuse. Not one word did i 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 bo true, but 1 can say, in all truthfulness, that I accept the result in the best spirit possible. I am not disgruntled. I am not sore. i i shall not "sulk," but on tne contrary. I shall continue as I have always don to work for the 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 thin#. 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. 1 In conclusion, lef me say that I law and order. And especially do I want to thank am receiving daily scores of letters from my friends throughout the State, thanking me for the fight which I made, and assuring me of their loyalty and sympathy. All of them como from men and women who are truo and loyal to South Carolina. h 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. 1SLKASK AND 1IIS PKOMISK. What He Said ICight Alter Finding Out He Had Won. Surrounded by a hillarious crowd of his supporters close on to the midnight hour, on the day of tin? primary election. Cole L. Blease, after 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 vet Tut us rest on what we I*ci | A A have got. "I want to thank you all for what you have done for inc.

Amid wild cheering the n?xt Governor was conducted back into the hotel. Such a scene .as was witnessed in the lobby just prior to the speech has never been seen in Columbia in recent years. There were hundreds of men in the lobby and when the yell was set i up to have Cole L. Iflea.se make a speech there were cheers upon cheers and Mr. Hlease was almost lifted out s to the sidewalk. Here amid anothei ' wild demonstration Mr. Hlease spolu ' for just a few minutes as quotec above. ^ Tuesday nleht Mr. Hlease was call ed up at bis hotel in Columbia an< asked if he had any statement ?,< t make. i.YIr.

Democrat* Elect All 8tate Officers, Two CoDKrewmen 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 leaders in that State are surprised at its completeness. In fact it came to the Republicans like a stroke or ugnining out of a clear sky. Complete returns of the vote for senators and represen tat Ives 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, state treasurer, attorney general uud 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 Sturgis liquor law enforcement act. According to the unofficial complete returns the legisuature will have a Democratic majority of ,16 on joint ballot. The senate will consist of 21 Democrats and 10 Republicans, while the house will have 8 8 Democrats and 68 Republican members. The last legislature consisted of 122 Republicans and 6 0 Democrats, the Republicans having a majority of 15 in the senate and 4 7 in the house. The total vote of the leading parties in Monday's election was 188. f>f>6. Four yeara ago it was i.ju,7 9 0. 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 Plaisted 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 I ere completely dumfouuded by the result. ? ? CAN R1PATK KMKlliSKP. ? Republican Kndorsed by the fionio* crats of Tennessee. The independent Democrats ofj Tennessee Wednesday endorsed the candidacy of Hen W. Hooper, Republican nominee for governor, and further cut loose from the 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 triumvirate to campaign for a Republican governor, the triumvirate consisting of Republican*, independent Democrats and State-wile prohibitionists. The independent prohibitionists are so closely allied as to largely overlap in their membership. 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 f unionists all along the } lino.
