Senator Tillman.

The scars of a veteran are the no.
best insignia of honor. Senator Till
man of South Carolina was never
greater figure in American eyes than
in these days of bis ill-health.
Hat no amount of physical suffering
can break spirit as indomitable as
that of any man who ever lived. The
fearlessness, the intellectual power,
the invincible will Of Senator Tillman
are what they have always been. He
is a candidate for another term in the
senate. 1t should be granted him.
We are sure his constituents feel, as
the coudtry does, about the matter.
No legislator in the American con-
gress is Senator Tillman's superior in
parliamentary knowledge, and grasp
of the practical workings of govern
ment. Sprung from the people, heart
train and soul man Of the people,
beginning against the handicap of
great odds, he fought his way to the
foremost rank of orators, legislators,
and parlimentarians by sheer genius
and force of character. His great per-
sonality has subdued the animosities
of an earlier time. Eighteen years in
the senate have made him understood,
not only by the state of South Carroll
"a, but by the whole nation. The
United States recognizes in Benjamin
r. Tillman one of the ablest and most
dauntless champions of liberty, one of
the most relentless foes o; special priv
ilege who ever drew breath. In a
stronghold of plutocracy, ehas fought
year in and year out the battles Of the
people. The serate, the American re-
public, cannot afford to lose Tillman.

Dream of the Drummer.

One night a drummer dreamed
dream
And dreaming, dreamed he died,
And straightway to the Pearly Gate,
His sin. stained spirit hied.
And there before the saints he stood
With downcast lead and low,
"My records pretty rank" he said,
81 guess I'm bound below.
.l've smoked lot and drank a lot,
Confess it all, I must,
And fiirted too, and then besides,
Great Heaven, how I've cussed.,'

With kindly smiling eyes,
But shook his head, Don't ask" ne

"But let me ask some questions, sir:
care you travelling man."
The sinner bowed and in this strain
The aged saint began:
you've gotten up at a. m.
And chased the train mile,
Amid the train crews gibes and Jeers
Astounding all the while.
"And then you found, as usual,
You've chased the wrong train. Once
again
The time cards played its trick,
Aud yours goes out at 6.
"You've taken some gay merchant out
And spent ten or more,
And then he calmly says he'd bought
His goods the day before.
you've spent your life at bad hotels
And eaten still worse meals
With oleo' and waiter girls
All run down at the heels.
you've had your letters sent astray'
Your trunks have wandered too'
With porters, clerks and baggagemen
You're in a constant stew.
"And once a month you see your wife,
Now tell me. is it 500"
"It is," replied the drummer,
AS he took his hat to 60.
"Ah, weil,' said good ST. Peter, :.
AS he opened the portal wide,
"rm very glad to meet you, sir
Just kindly step inside.
"We'll try and make you happy here,
We'll do the best we can
You've served your time in Hades,
For you've been traveli g man.

A Review Of the Election
New Governors Of States
and Probable United
States Senators.
~ JAMES a. EDGERToN.

fE$ HERE was an election held In
tile United States Of America
the other day. You may have
heard of it.. 1t may not have
attracted much attention in Mars or
the Milky way, but it certainly made
some dent in this planet. 1t was a
mixture Of landslide, Armageddon, the
Judgment day and political EARTH
quake. An elephant and bull moose
were buried somewhere In the debris,
and a donkey and Democratic rooster
emerged from the ruins making Joyful
sounds. But to get down to cases:
In this election there were chosen a
president and vice president Of the
United States, legislatures to choose
thirty-fve members Of the United
States senate, determining the politi-
cal complexion Of that body, 435 mem
bers Of the national house Of repre-
sentatives, governors in more than
thirty states and thousands Of minor
officials In the electoral college the
Democrats have SO many votes that 1t
seems shame to count them. The
senate is close, but the Democrats are
claiming at least fifty votes out Of
nfnety-six, with some states yet doubt
ful The house is Democratic by near
II ITO majority, while the Democrats
have likewise chosen majority Of the
governors.

TAFT s@

+South Dakota went for Roosevelt, but
It is claimed that the electors are pledged
to Taft.
So far as mere numerical majority
goes, this is the most decisive vote ID
the history of the electoral college.
This is partially due to the fact, how
ever, that the college is now much
larger than ever before Washington
received the unanimous vote Of the
electors, and Monroe all but one
Among other decisive results in the
past may be mentioned the following:
In 1882 Andrew Jackson received 219
electoral votes to 40 for Henry Clay.
II for John Floyd and Z for William
Writ. In 1910 William Henry Har-
rison had 234 to GO for Martin Van
Buren. In 1852 Frnnklin Pierce had
254 to AZ for General Winfield Scott.
in 1864 Abraham Lincoln received 212
to 81 for General George B. Mcclellan.
Grant received tremendous electoral
majorities both times. 214 to 30 for
Horatio Seymour in 1868 and 2S6 to 50
for several candidates following the
death Of Horace Greeley In 1872. In
