GREAT DEMOCRATIC VICTORY.

gains for democracy
than was AT first
thought.
Walsh's Plurality the Blgg<*st Kver
PUexl up by Democrats. Fielder
Score? In Now Jersey. Tammany's
Defeat Cungcd Into a Rout.
The fid! extent of the Democratic
victories of Tuesday was scarcely ap?
preciated until yesterday's returns
began to pad the pluralitlen of the
victorious candidates. Everywhere,
almost, the Democratic ticket
seems to have swept its way to vlo
tory. The only exceptions are the
New York assembly, which appears to
I hH Republican, and Philadelphia and
j Cincinnati municipal governments. In
1 New York the vote seems to have been
largely u question of Tammany or
anti-Tammany and the candidates for
; the assembly have suffered for the
sins of Murphy.
In New Jersey, home of Woodrow
, Wilson, where for a time the result
?looked a bit doubtful, James F. Fleld
? er, Democratic candidate succeeded
in piling up a plurality of 33,000, and
that despito obvious lack of support
in Essex county, the chosen field of
James Smith, Jr., ar.d Former StAte
.'halrman Nugent, bitter opponent o?
President Wilson. The New Jersey
legislature, too, Is Democratic.
The victory for David I. Walsh,
1 Democratic candidate for governor of
1 Massachusetts became only the mort
sweeping as returns came in, his plu
j rality finally attaining the tremendous
[ figures of 53,691, the largest ever ac
| corded a Democratic candidate for
that office in the Bay State. Every
other Democratic candidate on the
State ticket, with the possible excep?
tion of the candidate for attorney
general, has been elected with Walsh.
In Maryland, where a hot fight was
waged, Blair Dee, Democratic candi?
date for United States sentaor, hat
won by a plurality of 42,000. Other
Democrats see-.n to have won there
too.
In New York each successive rcca 7
pltulatlon affirmed the crushing defeat
of the Tammany forces.
The organization was not only en?
gulfed In a plurality of over 110.00U
votes by which the fuslonists elected
John Purroy Mitchell mayor of New
York city, but in many up-State dis?
tricts a severe rebuke was adminls
tered to the Tammany Democracy
that has been in control of the' State
since the days of (Jov. Hughes.
William Sulzer, deposed from the
governorship by Tammany's exposure,
of his unlisted campaign contribu
, tlons, was elected to public office, less
than three weeks having intervened
I since he was removed from the gov?
ernor's chair. He will return to Al?
bany in January as a member of the
assembly.
Many of the legislators who voted
to Impeach Sulzer met defeat with
the result that he will sit In an anti
Tammany house. On the basis of in?
complete returns it was estimated
that the next assembly will be com?
posed of 86 Republicans, 17 Progres
slves and 48 Democrats. Many of the
latter wer? said to bo men of Pro?
gressive or Independent tendencies.
With much reduced pluralities but
by a safe margin the fuslonists elect?
ed William A. Prondergaat comptrol?
ler of the city and George McAneny
president of the hoard of aldermen.
They kept out of Tammany's hands
the presidency of the three principal
boroughs, Manhattan, Brooklyn and
the Bronx, and ihus increased the
anti-Tammany majority an the board
of estimate.
The fusion vote on the board will
be 14 to Tammany's two. This board
controls the city's expenditures. A
fusion majority on the board of alder?
men was also elected.
Two Dauiotirailii congressmen wer?
elected In the city?from the Thir?
teenth and Twentieth districts. From
th?? former George. W. Loft was chosen
to succeed the lute Timothy D. Sul?
livan Jacob H. Cantor was elected

PRESIDENT WILSON ELATED.
_
FFl.LS MUCH ENCOURAGED BY
TVRX OF ELECTIONS,
Regards Results us un Indorsement
of Administration Polleiew?Field?
er's Victory Gives Most Joy.
"Washington, Nov. 5.?President
Wilson made no official comment to?
day on the Democratic victories in
New Jersey, Massachusetts and Mary?
land, but told friends ho was much
encouraged because In all three States
the tariff and currency were issues
and he felt that the administration's
policies had been upheld.
Secretary Tumulty was particular?
ly happy that his home county, Hud?
son, gave James F. Fielder, the
Democratic nominee for governor, an
overwhelming majority which helped
materially in winning the State.
Senators and congressmen general?
ly telephoned their congratulations to
the White House and Secretary Bry?
an, who campaigned in Maryland and
New Jersey, expressed his satisfac?
tion at the result.
The president already had sent a
telegram to Mr. Fielder, the victor in
New Jersey, and dispatched other
messages today. To David I. Walsh,
elected governor of Massachusetts,
he said: "My heartiest congratula?
tions. It was a splend.d victory
finely won."
To Blair Lee, Democrat, elected
United States senator in Maryland,
the president telegraphed:
"I congratulate you and the party
most warmly. The victory is com?
plete."
The preeldent took much interest
in the municipal elections t.nd sent to
his personal friend, Mayor Newton D.
Baker, reelected in Clevelar d, the fol?
lowing message: "Please accept my
warmest congratulations. It did us
all good to hear of your victory."
Unofficial returns to t.he White
House stating that Fielder had car?
ried Essex county by 721 pleased the
president very much. Secretary
Tumulty declared that in Essex coun?
ty the Smith-Nugent factions of the
Democratic party had supported the
itopubllcan ticket.
Schedule K" In Th? New Tariff.
The fame of Schedule K has been
heralded so far and wide that there
is barely a person who reads a d*> ily
paper that is not familiar with it.
Thoujrh declared "indefensible" b:
President Taft, it emerged from the
ordeal of revision in the Payne-Al
drich tariff in practically the same
shape in which it has remained for
nearly half a century. The chief
points of indictment against that
schedule In the Tariff Board report
weret
(1) The specific duty of ^1 cents a
pound on practically all clothing wools
in their raw condition: this amounted
to less than 25 per cent ad valorem
on fine light wools used for expensive
cloths and all the way from about 4 0
to 50C per cent on the coarse dirt and
grease-laden wools used for the poor
man's clothes.
(2) Coupled with this discrimina?
tion against the poor man was the
discrimination against the woolen in?
dustry in favor of the worsted, since
the former uses the coarse cheaper
wools.
(3) The compound duties on
cloths, consisting of a combination of
specific and ad valorem rates allow?
ed an v-xoeeeive "compensation" to
the manufacturer of worsted goods in
the shape of n duty of 14 cents per
pound of cloth (in addition to u pro?
tective duty of 50 to 55 per cent ad va.
lorem) on the theory that it takes
four pounds of wool to make one
pound of cloth.
(4 The compensatory duty of 4 1
cents a pound applied under the old
law not only to all-wool clothe, but III
the language of the tariff to all cloths
"made wholly or in part of wool,"
even cloths made almost entirely of
cotton with a modicum of wool or
i shoddy thrown in, thus making the
j compound duty amount to as much as
150 per cent and over.
All of these evils, together with
many others which sprang from them,
have been swept off the statute-books
l?y the new law. The straight ad va
lorem rate of 15 per Cent in all
clothing wools origitudly provided in
the Underwood bill would have re?
moved the discrimination against the
woolen goods industry in favor of the
worsted, Hut it la the far-sighted
Wisdom and unswerving courage of
President Wilson that the country Is
Indebted to for the blessing of free
wool, if the report of the Tariff
Board on raw wool prepared directly
by men Closely connected with the
raw wool industry is any guide to the
situation, the abolition of all dunes on
iaw wool will nht only prove a boon
to the manufacturing Industry, bui
also should result in tin* adopt <>u of
modern methods throughout the wool
growing States, which will make thai
Industry mm Independent ol turlffs as
u h is been made in those parts of th''
country where these methods have

10 GIVE CROP HEWS.
TELEGRAPHIC CROP NEWS SER?
VICE TO BE EXTENDED TO
ALL STATES.
Department of Agriculture, Through
Co-operation Between Bureau of
Statistic* anil the Weather Bureau
Stations to Get Monthly Crop News
Quickly to all Newspapers.
Washington, Nov. 6.?As a result of
requests from editors and editorial as?
sociations in many State, the United
States Department of Agriculture has
announced that the November crop
reports for each State will be sup?
plied to the newspapers in all States
through the Central Weather Station
located in each of the States.
This is an extension of the experi?
ment of telegraphing the State crop
returns to the Central Weather Sta?
tions in each of nine States, and hav?
ing these telegrams duplicated at once
and mailed to the newspapers and
agricultural publications. Under this
plan newspapers in J9 additional
States will now receive full details of
the State crops far more quickly than
would be possible if these Stute crop
details were put in the mails in Wash?
ington and had to travel by train
long distances to the more remote
States.
Under this plan the general sum?
mary cf the crops for the United
states will, as heretofore, be issued in
Washington for telegraphic distribu?
tion. It has been found, however,
that the conditions of crops within
their particular States are of especial
value to the farmers and producers,
to whom the conditions in their own
State are important in the marketing
of their produce.
Under this plan the Department
sends one telegram to the Central
Weather Bureau in each State, and
within a few minutes after the crop
figures for the State are completed in
Washington the Weather Bureau is
enabled to mall copies of the figures
from a central point within the State
to all papers In that Sttae.
Under the code system used, the
Department is under the necessity of
telegraphing only a few figures, as
the figures of previous crops for com?
parison are supplied to each weather
Bureau Station by mail. The cost of
the telegram for each State does not
exceed 75 cents.
The crop data thus circulated by
mail to the newspapers will give: (a)
a full list of the crops; (b) the aver?
age condition of each crop for ten
j year periods in that paricular State;
(c) the condition of the State crops
for November 9th. In the adjoining
column will be given the same data
for the United States, so that the
farmers who read these notices can
compare the crops in their State as of
November 9th with the ten-year av?
erages of their own State, and in the
same *ay with the average condition
throughout the United States on No?
vember 9th and for ten years.
These State crop reports are not
supplied to individuals, and are mail?
ed only to editors of regular publica?
tions. The November State crop re?
ports for the 39 States n?wly added
to the list will be sent only to the
dally papers, the county scat papers,
and agricultural publications. Mean?
while, the Department is preparing
lists of small town weeklies, and in
December the crop reports will be
sent also to the smaller papers.
PRESBYTERIANS BURN MORT?

* Church and Manse Is Free From
Debt?Will Hold Diamond Jubilee.
Blshopvllle, Nov. 5.?Tho Presby?
terians of this city are making prep?
arations to celebrate two very im-|
portant periods in their church. One!
is the burning of a mortgage which!
has been on the handsome new |
church since it was built. This year!
will see the church, with one of the
handsomest houses of worship In east?
ern Carolina and a commodious and
handsome manse all free from debt,
the two having been erected at a cost
of about $30,000 by a congregation
?mall in number.
In connection with the paying off
and destroying Of the mortgage, the
congregation will celebrate their dia?
mond jubilee this month, the church
having had a continuous existence for
TT? years. In that time it has had but
five pastors. The Rev, Hugh R,
I Muri bison, now of Lancaster, is th?
only former pastor now living, and he
will bo invited to deliver a historical
i
address on this occasion, a number of
other ministers and laymen prom I*j

be asked to take part in the celebra
tion. and It will be made a jubilee oc?
casion for all.
The church now has as its pastor!

late today gave out a statement reply?
ing to an editorial in the Sumter Item
with reference to the action of Rich?
ard I. Manning in asking by resolu?
tion for a probe of the primary last
summer.
Governor Blease's statement fol?
lows:
"I do not care to have anything
further to say upon the political situ?
ation j. st at present, except possibly
to notice a little article from the Sum?
ter Item in reference to Mr. Man?
ning's resolution.
"I presume there are a great many
people in South Carolina who have not
yet forgotten Mr. Manning's flop from
conservatism and local option to be?
come a here-worshipper of Lien
Tillman and the leader of the State
dispensary forces when he went down
in defeat before Ansel In 1906. I am
satisfied that they have not yet for?
gotten Manning's little song when he
saw the mansion pointed out to him
by Tillman. Notwithstanding his bit?
terness against Tillman and his fifjhl
against the State dispensary at one
time, he suddenly dropped .ipon his
knees and exclaimed:
" 'And now I consecrate my all to thee
"Ben Tillman and the State dispou
saree.
"I do not blame him now for trying
to get back with his old line-up, but i
haven't much idea that they are *oing i
to take him up, for his past record
for inconsistencies will be as glaring
as was another candidate's in a re?
cent gubernatorial race.
"As to his resolution before the ex
ecutive committee it was made di?
rectly, the very wording of it Bhows,
at the entire white people of South
Carolina, charging all of them with
fraud, bribery and perjury, and I de
not believe that the white people of
South Carolina are going to elect any
man governor who would make thii
wholesale charge. And then he
dodged behind his own resolution and
refused no accept a place on the com?
mittee to go forward with the investi?
gation. After he started It he cer?
tainly oi ght to have accepted a place
on the committee and helped to car?
ry it through.
"The Surater Item has always been
very bitter against me. Nothing it
says will affect me, but articles of this
kind will affect Mr. Manning very con?
siderably, if he sticks his head up in
the gubernatorial race. My friend*

GIVEN RAW DEL
CHAIRMAN RAILROAD COMMI8
SION IS DISAPPOINTED.
hards Sots Mileage Decision Make*
Enactment of Two Cent Rate Law
Necessary.
Columbia, Nov. 6.?'The interstate
commerce commission, as I was afraid
it would, has sustained the railroads
in their discriminatory and unreason?
able mileage book regulations and
have perpetuated as far as possible
a system that is nefarious and well
nigh unbearable," said J. Q. Richards,
Jr., chairman of the South Carolina
railroad commission, last night.
"We made the best fight for relief
possible under the circumstances,"
said Mr. Richards, "but the ra lroads
j have won and the people are made to
suffer.
"While this question was purely a
local one, the interstate commerce
commission of its own motion asso?
ciated the entire territory east of the
; Mississippi and south of the Ohio and
Potomac rivers in the fight," Mr. Rich?
ards continued, "although throughout
this territory there was practically no
complaint on the part of the people
and conditions were and are entirely
dissimilar from those existing in
South Carolina. Lawyers represent?
ing the railroads from Washington to
the Qulf of Mexico were thus permit?
ted to appear and South Carolina was
forced to make the uneven fight
against tremendous odds. Gen. Lyon,
who represented the State in this case
during the latter part of his admlnis
I tration, and Mr. DeBruh1., who repre?
sented the State for the present at?
torney general's office, discharged
their duty with faithfulness and abil?
ity and they deserved tc win.
"The people of South Carolina have
been given a raw deal. To say the
least, we had every reason to expect
that: the interstate commerce commis?
sion would have ordered the railroads
to honor their own mileage books over
their own lines, whether the holder
f the book was making an interior or
intrastate journey, but they do not
seem to have even considered that
phase of the question. Mr. Marble
is unfortunate in his quotations from
the evidence of the witnesses for the
State and seems to have selected ex?
cerpts tiiat would create the impres?
sion that the request for relief was
based upon the selfish desire of a few
men whose individual comfort had
>een disturbed by the present mileage
system.
"This is an entirely erroneous im?
pression. The fight has been pressed
by the traveling men of this State and
at great inconvenience and expense
from patriotic motives, and for the
purpose of getting relief from an out?
rageously burdensome system?relief
not only for themselves but for all
classes of our citizens who use mile?
age in travel, and the evidence shows
that about 22 per cent of the travel
in this State is by mileage.
"While I do not hesitate to say that
I am disappointed at the decision, it
may turn out to be a blessing in dis?
guise, for it brings us face to face
with the question, Shall the people or
the railroads rule? and once the peo?
ple are aroused I have no fear as to
the result. While I was a member of
the legislature and since I have been
a member of the South Carolina rail?
road commission and on the stump
and off it I have contended for a
2-cent flat rate and I shall continue Bo
do so. I appeared before the commit?
tee of the last legislature and urged
the passage of such a law.
"The people of the State are en?
titled to a lower rate than they now
have and from the financial statements
made by the railroads and filed in the
commission's office, they can stand ?he
j reduction in their revenue anc still
declare a handsome dividend. I hope
that the effect of this decision will
be io arouse the people and that the
demand for a 2-cent flat rate will be?
come so strong that it will soon be a
law of this State. With a 2-cent rate
the mileage book question will te
come of little consequence."
