LANDSLIDE FOR TAFT.
Republicans Win Another Overwhelm-
ing Victory.

ing NICtoTy.
William H. Taft is to be the next
president. That is the information
that came over the wires last night
from yesterdays election.
The first bulletins from New York
and other eastern states seemed to in
dicate that the Republicans had lost
but little II any strength as compared
with four years ago, and later bulle-
tins quickly confirmed these indica-
tions to certainties.
The news began to reach Yorkville
at about $50 o'clock, and by 10
o'clock it was evident that Taft had
carried New York over Bryan and
the indications were that Chandler,
the Democratic candidate for gover-
nor was leading Hughes, the Repub-
lican candidate, in about the same
proportion. Later bulletins from the
northeast showed practically every
thing for Taft, just like it was for
Roosevelt four years ago, and little
later the bulletins from the west be-
gan to tell the same story.
At 1890 o'clock this wednesday,
morning, the Associated Press posted
a bulletin in New York, giving the
following states with a total of 203

Stood For Free Speech.
Rock Hill special of October 80, to
the Columbia State: A Socialist ora
tor held forth on the corner Of Main
and Railroad streets Wednesday night,
and there was a crowd Of a hundred or
more who heard him. The meeting
was without incident except soon af-
ter the man began his speech. There
were present some citizens who evil
IDENTIFY do not believe in free speech,
and several of these began to try and
annoy the speaker, asking questions
and handing out some pretty rough
talk. The crowd, however, while not
necessarily in sympathy with the
mans argument, believed In fair play
and gave those doing the interrupting

THE GENERAL ELECTION.

From the few scattering precincts
in York county heard from during the
night it is fair to estimate the total
vote of the county at between 1900
and $500.
The total vote at Yorkville precinct
was 293 in the Federal box and 251 in
the highest state boxes. Bryan elec-
tors received 2S7 votes and Taft elec-
tors votes.
Among the other boxes heard from
during the night were: Smyrna, AZ;
Blairsville. 5S: Sharon, 80; Hickory
Grove, SO; Ebcnezer so; Tirzah, 23;
Clover 1875.

voted on are unimportant but the in
dications are that yes is in the major

A DECLARATION from John D. Rookie
feller to the effect that he would vote
for Taft, was the loudest sounding
political bomb that was exploded dur
ing the last few days of the campaign.
Rockefeller gave as a reason for his
intention, the claim that the balance
Of fitness as to temperament was on the
side of Taft, as compared with Bryan.
He said also that he had always been
Republican and that the triumph of
the Republican party promised more
for the conservation Of the business
interests of the country. Immediately
upon the publication Of the interview,
John d. fell under the denunciation of
an. Roosevelt said that the announce
ment was a cut and dried Democratic
trick, the object of which was to pre-
judice the enemies of Standard Oil
against the Republican party, and Mr..
Bryan took advantage of the opportu-
nifty to point out that both the biggest
trusts of the country, Standard Oil and
the United States Steel corporation,
were hand in glove with the Republi
can party. Just what the facts are it
is difficult to conjecture. There is no
doubt that the big trusts have been
made possible by the tariff policy Of
the Republican party, and there is no
doubt that the United States Steel cor
poration stands in with the Republican
administration. The position Of Mr..
Rockefeller is peculiar. For some rea-
son the Republican party has been
hostile to him, especially during the
past two years. There are those who
insist that Judge Landis's famous
S29,O00,O00 fine was a matter of getting
even more than it was a matter of JUS
tice-that is, however just it may have
been, justice was not the real object.
Because of the alleged fight between
Rockefeller and Roosevelt, some have
thought that the Standard Oil influ-
ence and contributions have been 60
ing to the Democratic side. This, how
ever, is merely a matter Of conjecture,
for there has been no evidence to sus-
tain it. There is certainly very little
reason to believe that Mr.. Bryan would
be a party to such duplicity. We are
inclined to the view that Rockefeller
voted as he said he would. But there is
one feature of the circumstance that is
difficult of explanation. During a long
business experience, Rockefeller has
established a reputation of keeping his
mouth shut as to politics. Why he
should have departed from his rule on
this occasion, does not appear.

tions made recently, the people over on

ALTHOUGH today's election settles
the matter as to who will be president
and vice president the president and
vice president are not yet elected.
Only presidential electors were chosen
today. These electors will meet in the
capitOls of their respective states on
the second Monday in January next,
and cast the votes Of their states for
president and vice president. The as
sembled presidential electors of a state
constitute an electoral college. There
is an electoral college for each state
On the same day. After the votes of
the electoral colleges are counted, the
results are sent to Washington and
canvassed by congress. Should the
candidates receiving majority Of the
votes, or one of them, die between this
date and the assembling Of the elector-
al colleges, the electoral colleges could
lawfully choose other men to fill the
offices. AS matter Of fact, the elec-
toral colleges could, even now, lawfully
elect some one else if they saw proper
to do so. 1t would be a rather danger
Gus proceeding, Of course, as they are
virtually pledged to register the will
Of the party by which they were NOM
mated.

MAIL ORDER WHISKY.

bit Misrepresentation.
Since prohibition went into effect in
many parts Of the country few years
ago, says a Washington dispatch, va
rious methods have been adopted for
evading the law, one Of the best known
of these being the use of the United
States mails for the purpose of solic-
iting orders. Recently, however, the
postal authorities have reached the
the conclusion that little too much
of this kind of business was being
done The whisky, of course, is not
actually transported through the
mails. but the orders are and to such
has the business been car
ried on that the officials are threaten
ing to come down good and hard on
the promoters.
Not long ago the commissioner of
internal revenue issued a regulation
requiring rectifed spirits. or alcohol
to be branded as limitation whisky
The dealers in rectified spirits took
exception to this regulation, which was
new, but made necessary by the oper-
