PRESIDENT WILSON RELAXES AFTER THE STRAIN Takes Brisk Walk Around Princeton and Is Obvi-
 ously Happy
IS NOT GOING TO
 BE MUCH NEWS NOW
An Avalanche of Telegrams Pour In On Hirn--issues Statement--Re- plies to Taft and Roosevelt
 Telegrams

Princeton. N. J., November 6.-Presi- dent-elect Woodrow Wilson turned away
 from an avalanche of telegrams and
 messages of cohgratulation for two hours today and went off for a brisk walk. For five miles he walked, swinging a heavy black cane, which came 10 grief on the fourth mile when Capt "Bn" 1 Mcdonald, Texas ranger, and body guard. | tried to kill rattle snake.
 The governor spled the snake curling through the leaves and pointed 1t out to the captain, who borrowed the gov ernors cane and killed it, but in doing SO broke the cane.
 The governors walk exhilarated him, he said. The strain of the campaign and the excitement of election day had kept him pretty much indoors of late It was with a long stride andkVgorous swing that he set out from his home and out through the university campus to the wooded stretches of country to the south of Princeton.
 As he passed through the campus stu dents doffed their caps as they dil of old for him and do yet to members of the faculty, one of the time honored cus- toms of the university

Lack Few Votes

Washington, November 6.-Fairly definite returns from legislature elections tonight seemed to show the democratic posts moving on toward control of the Senate, although that was not established as certainty. The returns from Colo rado added two more senators to cer- tainties in the democratic columns, and those from Nevada and Montana seemed to favor two more. These, added to 42 votes holding over already elected, or assured of election, brought the demo- cratic force up to 47, within two of con- trol.
 Nine states, which up to midnight had not indicated which party would control their legislatures made democratic lead CTS sanguine that the necessary other two would be secured when returns were complete. These states are Kansas, Ore gon, West Virginia. Wyoming, Tennessee. New Hampshire, Illinois, Iowa and South Dakota.
 Later returns did not diminish the heavy democratic majority in the House of Representatives, but they did play see saw with Uncle Joe Cannon, and finally left him defeated by a majority of 500. Gillette of Massachusetts probably will succeed to Cannon's position as senior re- publican on the appropriations commit tee

Coaches Congratulate Him

As he sat with Captain Mcdonald in the empty grandstand three of the foot hall coaches came over to congratulate him. They were Ross McCleve, Beef Wheeler and John Poe, famous Prince ton stars of years ago.
 As Governor Wilson sauntered into open country he seemed for the first time to relax from the strain of the last few days Obviously he was happy. He fwished his way through the sea of autumn tinted leaves He tested with the correspondents and moved along merrily as if it were the happiest day of his life.
 Professors and then wives waylaid him as he turned his steps through the town and congratulated him.

His Friends Say He Did Not Expect Bull Moose

RECEIVES REPORTS
 FROM LIEUTENANTS
The Only Thing Decided at Sagamore Hilt Was Inn she Progressive Party Will Continue Fight.
 Confers With Leaders

oyster Bay. N Y, November 6-Col- onel Roosevelt surveyed the field of bat tie today and gathered as much of the story of yesterdays defeat. as he could piece together. His lieutenants in each state wired to him their reports, in many eases incomplete. and tonight Colonel Roosevelt still was in doubt as to just what the progressive party had been able to accomplish in its first campaign.
 There was nothing of the aspect of a beaten general and no hint of defeat in his manner He smiled as easily and told stories as gaiIy as before and apparently was enjoying life thoroughly today. Col one Roosevelt said he wants to tell his supporters everywhere what lie thinks of the outcome and the outlook. The only reason that he did not do so tonight was that he had not the facts at hand.
 Wants Complete Report
 T want to find out just where we stand hrst' he explained "The returns are far from complete. For instance, l s )n an afternoon paper that Mr. Wil- son has carried Minnesota, and l have ,Asl eceived d telegram saying that l carried it. I don't know which is cor rect. And wish also to hear more fully from the south. When l have all the facts accurately 1 shall make a state ment."
 The only thing which was accepted as settled fact at Sagamore Hill today was that the fight was to go on. What methods Colonel Roosevelt will adopt are unknown even 10 himself.
 "Of course the fight will go on, he said with an air of finality. Tn the end the cause must triumph"
 Close friends of Colonel Roosevelt said he was not surprised at Governor Will sons election, because he was at no time confident, they. asserted, that the new party would be able to win it's first fight. The showing which the party made, his friends said. had pleased rather than dis appointed it's leader.
 Several progressive leaders came to oyster Bay to talk over the election and the plans for the future. Governor Hiram Johnson of California and Clifford and Amos Pinchot of New York spent an hour at Sagamore Hill late N the after noon and tonight George W. Perkins,

County Democratic Convention.

County Democratic Convention.
The county Democratic conven-
ton which was held Monday was
largely attended, all of the clubs
except Plum Branch and South
Hibler being represented. The con-
vention was organized by the elec-
tion of Hon. B. E. Nicholson, presi-
dent; Capt. E. 81. Folk, vice-presi-
dent; S. j. Watson and J. L. Minis.
secretaries.
Immediately after the enrolment of
delegates from the local clubs, came
the election OF six delegates to the
state convention. Upon motion of
Hon. J. VIM. Thurmond the rules
were suspended and Senator B. r.
Tillman was elected a delegate by
acclamation. Judge J. R. Black
we'll made a motion that Col. w. j.
Talbert be likewise chosen as a del
egate to the state convention, but
this motion failed. Seven names
were next placed in nomination.
The following five by Mr.. A. E.
Padgett: A. M. Clark, J. P. De-
Laughter, J. VIM. Thurmond, ]. R.
Blocker aud J. T. Littlejohn, and
two, Col. w. J. Talbert and Mr.. S.
McG. Simkins were nominated by
Mr.. S. NJ. Smith. The vote was
taken by ballot with the
result that the FIVE persons nomi.
mated by Mr.. Padgett were chosen
by a decided margin. In placing
these names in nomination Mr..
Padget stated that all of them were
supporters of Judge Ira B. Jones
for governor, and they represented
every section of the county, only
one being chosen from the town OF
Edgefeld.
Resolutions were adopted practi'
cally unanimously endorsing B. r.
Tillman for the United States sen.
ate, Ira B. Jones for governor, and
S. T. Carter for state treasurer
The vote that reflected the relative
strength of MIR. Blease and Judge
Jones in the convention more thar
any other was that upon the adop
tion of the resolutions endorsing
Judge Jones, the result being 6s in
favor of the resolutions and 4
against.
Hon. M. P. Wells introduced q
| resolution recommending that all
magistrates be suggested or pomi
mated in the primary instead of be
ing recommended to the governo,
for appointment by the members Of
the delegation to the general as
sembly as has been the custom fol-
the past two years. The resolution
was adopted without opposition.
Mr.. A. E. Padgett was chosen as
Edgefeld's representative on the
state executive committee, and Hon
B. e. Nicholson was unanimously
elected chairman of the county ex
ecutive committee.
Probably not since the early nine
ties has county convention been
held in which the lines between op
posing forces have been more deci
dedly drawn than was the case in
Mondays convention. The major
ity supporting Senator Tillman and
Judge Jones was SO large that the
convention was easily carried in
their favor. While interest ran
high from the opening till the close
of the convention, it is very graft.
