other section, and corresponding en-
couragement. Still, one thing stands
out clearly, which is that within and
without party ranks the Independent
voter 10 coming more and more to
the front. This does not necessarily
mean an actual lessening Of party 10y

does mean that voters think more

higher moral sense they demand not
only able men but able men Of clean

way lies the ,permanence Of popular

PEOPLE SHOULD BE CAREFUL
Gasoline Being Sold by Oil Companies

fer kerosene.
A diepateh from WalteTbor0 1ayB
Mrs. Ellen Driggers, wide OF James
Driggers, was burned to death at
their home there Sunday morning.
Mrs. Driggers had risen to cook
breakfast and had attempted to start
fire in the stove. This did not catch
az quickly as she wished, and getting
the kerosene oil can she poured some
of its contents into the fire box OF the
stove. Instantly there was terrific
explosion and Mrs. Driggers was Gov.
cred with the Burning Oil from head
to foot and enEeloged In flames.
Her SCREAMS asouged her husband,
wa,o had not yet risen, and he rushed
into the room. He attempted to ex-
tinguish the flames, but to no avail.
Every stitch Of clothing was burned
from her body. DR.. Riddiek Acker-
man was summoned, but could do
nothing but place the suffering wo-
man under the influence OF an opiate.
She fingered till four O'clock in the
afternoon, when she died. 1t seems
that terrible mistake was made by
the oil company from which this oil
was purchased.
1t was sold Saturday afternoon by
W. 0. Minis, and taken from a barrel
supposed to contain kerosene oil. It
was billed as such, and was 80 lab
eled, but an Investigation Of the con-
tents revealed that it was filled with
gasoline instead OF kerosene. No
blame attaches to MIR. Minis on ac-
count OF this. As sooR as he found
that 1t was gasoline he hurriedly
called up every one who bad pur-
chased Of the oil and had it returned
to him. ~3
This is the second case OF this kind
that we have heard of in the last few
months. In the other case the gaso-
line exploded and killed a young ne
gro boy. Gasoline is very danger
GUS explosive, and it is criminal to
substitute it for kerosene. People
who sell kerosene should be sure that
the parties from whom they buy are
not substituting gasoline for kero-
sene, and people using kerosene
should be sure that their dealers give
them kerosene and not gasoline. In
both OF the cases mentioned above the
retail dealers sold what had been sold
to them for kerosene oil.

History VIII Repeas ItseH

The Hon. James Smith, Jr., boss
Of Essex County, New Jersey. at the
recent election in that State, tried to
kill off Woodrow Wilson by sending
Republican delegation to the legis-
lature from his county, thus giving
the Republicans majority in that
body. Smith was sent to the United
States Senate some years ago, when
New Jersey was known as the mother
OF trusts. The trusts took up the
Republican party, and Smith having
labelled himself Democrat. the
trusts refused to continue him in the
Senate, so. he became the Democratic
boss of the Stats, and helped the Re-
,publicans elect trust men to the SEN
ate.
Smith made the Democrats Of New
Jersey an annex to the Republican
trust machine of the State, tor which
he was well paid as sugar trust at
torney. This was the status OF poll
tics, when woodrow Wilson came
along and swept the State into the
Democratic volumn. To the great
surprise of Smith the Democrats car
ried the legislature when they elected
Wilson governor. Then Smith want
ed to be elected to the United States
Senate, but Wilson said nay, and in
Eisted that MARITIME, a real true blue
Democrat, be elected to the Senate,
which the legislature did when it
met.
Then Smith and his henchmen de-
termined to do Wilson and the real
Democratic party all the harm they
could. Their first chance came in the
recent election. He determined to
throw his influence to the Republican
party and help them elect their can
sidates to the legislature, and thus
enable the Republicans to capture
that body. The defeat Of the Demo
cratic candidates 10 recognized as q
Smith victory. By giving his influt
ence to the Republicans, he has
robbed Governor W!lEon Of the sup
Fort OF a Democratic legislature, bat
otherwise the result did not hurt Gov
ernor Wilson.
But" as the Spartanburg Herald
says, Smith will be fortunate IT his
triumph does not provt "a boom
eraug. The people know more about
New jersey politics in the past year
than they had learned since the civil
war. and the people arc doing g. little
thinking for themselves, as the re-
cent elections show. Smiths reputed
object Is to prevent Wilson from Sc
curing the nomination for the presf-
,dency next year II possible. his first
atep teirg an effort to prevent the
New Jersey delegation from support
Ing him, and to make the Impression
that Wilson is discredited at home.
7 "In 1892 David B. Hill. boss OF New
York, decreed that Grover Cleveland
should not have the great strength
Of Now Yor1's delegation In the
Democratic convention. He succeed-
cd in preventing Cleveland's own
State from supporting him in the con-
7ention. But Cleveland got the NOM
nation without New York's assist
ance, largely because of Hills action.
It Is by no means impossible for
Woodrow Wilson to get the nomina-
tion without New Jerseys support, II
that delegation Ia dominated by
Smith. Smiths opposition is fine
support for all that is honest and up
right In politics"

Results Point to Harmon.

II the next Democratic Presidential
candidate 10 to be chosen by the re-
suits Of the late election in the sew
eral States the choice would undoubt-
edly fall on Governor Harmon OF
Ohio, as he certainly moro than held
his own. In addition to the Demo-
cratic victories in Columbus, CleVe-
land and Cincinnati, the three largest
cities in Ohio, another very significant
index of the public pulse in that
State Is the result Of the election just
held for delegates to a Constitutional
Convention, which is soon to meet.
These delegates were elected from
the same legislative districts as were
the members of the Lower House of
Ohio's General Assembly were elected
last year, when Harmon was elected
Governor for the second time. Last
year the Democrats for the first time
In twenty-one years carried the House
of Representatives. The respective
party strength in that body as re-
turned by that election was as fol-
lows:
Democrats. %
Republicans. -. ~
Independents.
The respective party strength in
the new Constitutional Convention as
elected two weeks ago is as follows:
Democrats. ~
Republicans. :. 40
Independents.
This shows that Ohio Democracy
has made even better showing in
1911 than the unprecedented victory
of 1910. This result is pretty tough
on President Taft, as it indicates that
Ohio is ready to transfer her prefer
ence for President from him to Gov
ernor Harmon. That the result OF
the election in Ohio strengthens Gov
crnor Harmon for the Democratic
nomination is undoubtedly true no
impartial observer will deny.
His ability to hold Ohio in line for
next year can hardly be doubted in
the face OF what he has already done
in his native State. Should he be
nominated. Ohio Is certain for the
Democratic column. To tie grea
for years to come. We are for VIII

Harmon would make a strong candi-
