First Democratic Gain.

In New York city Herbert Parsons,
Republican, was defeated for reelec-
ton as a representative to congress
by J. M. Levy, Democrat, as was VIM.
S. Bennett, Republican, by Henry
George, Jr. Mr.. Parsons's defeat is
the first Democratic gain in the house
Of representatives registered in to-
days elections throughout the coun-
try.
Theodore Roosevelt's home district
in Oyster Bay, gave Dix plurality of
204, as against a plurality Of 793 for
Hughes in 1908.
In Utica, Charles A. Talcott, Demo-
crat, defeated Millington, Vice Presi-
dent Sherman's nominee for congress,
by 3,76S.
Early returns indicate that Dix's
plurality throughout the State would
probably reach 100000, but his net
gain was reduced as the rural dis
tricts began to report.
Statement from Mr.. Stims0n.
New York, Nov. S.-Henry L. Stim-
son attributes his defeat to causes
nationwide and a g. lcral movement
Of the Republican party toward pro-
gressiyeism.
"Tnere seems to be a ground swell
all - tile coun;.v" he SAID tonight,
"and I was caught in it. I think it's
only the beginning. We're beginning
to have a realignment of political par
ties and the Republican party is going
through the agony of becoming pro-
gressive. The returns speak for them
selves. I have nothing to regret.
We've had a good, clean fight. I was
surprised that ran so we'll up with
the rest of the ticket"
Mr.. Stimson first conceded his de-
feat at 8 o'clock this evening. An
hour and half later he sent a tele-
gram to John A Dix, congratulating
him on his election.
The Republican candidate received
returns at his personal campaign
headquarters in the Manhattan hotel.
With him were his wife, his father,
Lewis A. Stimson and a party of rela-
tives and friends.

SOME PRESS COMMENT.

Yorkvi1le Enquirer.
The case of Milton A. Carlisle, the
Newberry banker, who has just been
sentenced to five years Imprisonment
for violation Of the national banking
laws, is a sad one. Mr.. Carlisle is no
ordinary thief. He is no thief at all
There is no evidence that he violated
the law for the purpose Of personal
gain. There is no reason to think that
he profted by the ofense he commit
ted. He only did what many other
bankers have done and continue to
do without being found out. His Of
tense would not have been discovered
probably, except for unfortunate cir
cumstances. He risked discovery and
punishment for a chance Of saving his
associates and himself from financial
loss. It is not to be claimed that he
was justified, for he was not. He was
bound to obey the law governing the
conditions under which he was work
ing. He was under oath to do it.
When be reached the point where it
became necessary to violate the law or
throw up the sponge, he should have
thrown up the sponge. That is where
he made his great mistake. He took
a terrible risk and failed where others
had succeeded and that is about all.

Anderson. Daily Mail.

There is, of course, general sympa-
thy for Mr.. NJ. A. Carlisle, the former
president of the Newberry National
bank, who has been convicted of mis-
appropriation Of tae funds Of the bank
and sent:nced to five years in the fed
erat prison. Mr.. Carlisle is 12 years
OF age, ar it is on this account, more
than anything else, that there is so
much sympathy for him. Mr.. Carlisle
may have done wrong, but he could
rot have 1nisused the funds Of his
bank without the knowledge OF at
least some of his directors, and that
makes them just as guilty as he 49,
whether they profted by it or not. If

Practices What He breaches.

Mr.. S. NJ. Duncan, the expert farm
demonstration agent for this county,
is practicing what he is preaching in
the raising of corn. He raised 865
bushels on a two-horse farm, 785
bushels to one plow, averaging %
bushels per acre on the entire farm.
Mr.. Duncan also raised twelve bales
of cotton on his two-horse farm. That
is the way to solve the problem. Fall
in with the Duncan plan.

Milton A. Carlisle, former president
of the National Bank Of Newberry, was
convicted on five counts Of an indict-
ment alleging misapplication Of funds
Of the institution. He was sentenced
to five years in the Atlanta peniten-
tiary. The convicted man will ap-
peal to the circuit court of appeals,
which meets three times year at
Richmond, Va. When our laws reach
all classes of criminals, high as we'll
as low, there will be a general i'm
provement in affairs. There needs to
be a quickening Of the financial con-
science. There are too many shady
financial transactions that go un-
questioned and unpunished. There
would be far less failures if the law
reached those in high places as we'll
as the poor and friendless.

Chicago, Nov. 9.-Complete returns
on the election of representatives in
congress indicate that the Democrats
will have working majority of 80 in
the next house. The number Of Dem
ocrats elected to Congress, according
TO latest returns, which are Of an un-
officials character is 226.
The Republican representation will
be 164 or 165, or 8 seats less than the
Democrats now have in the 61st con-
gress.
In Pennsylvania.
The 18th Pennsylvania district,
which is represented in the 61st con-
gress by Republican, is in doubt.
The 18th Pennsylvania district, also
normally Republican, is likewise
doubtful. The earlier returns indicat-
ed the election Of Robert E. Lee, and
he is carried in the table as represen-
tative Of this district. Later returns,
however, give his Republican oppo-
nent, Robert D. Heaton, an excellent
fighting chance, and the official count
will be necessary to determine the re-
suit.
In Wisconsin.
Absolute confidence is not felt in
the returns for some Of the Wisconsin
districts, and it is not impossible that
the official figures will change the to-
tails of the two parties. The 9TH Wis
consin district is claimed by Victor
L. Berger, Socialist. Henry F. Co.
chems, the Republican candidate, does
not concede Berge-'s election, and
recount may be necessary to decide
the election.
Election Summary.
The political upheaval of Tuesday
was followed yesterday by a general
survey of the field, which disclosed
with greater detail and precision just
what results had been accomplished.
Latest calculations on the National
House of Representatives, based on
complete, but unofficial, returns, show
that the Democrats will have safe
working majority of 80.
The outcome Of the United States
senate is now definitely settled. The
Republicans are assured Of II new
senator's, which, with "a hold over
senators, give them total Of 81. The
Democrats are assured Of Is new SEN
ators, which with Is hold overs, give
them total Of 40.
