sULzER is VICTOR.
Elected to the New York State AS
sembly From the Sixth
District.

NEW YORK, Nov. 5.-William Sui
ger. ousted from the governorship of
New York last month by verdict of
a high court of impeachment, was
elected to the state assembly from
the sixth district by a sweeping plu-
rality, estimated at an early hour at
1000 or more. Sulzer ran on the pro-
gressive ticket and apparently polled
more votes than his republican and
democratic opponents combined His
old neighbors on the East side rallied
strongly to his support, and it was
early APPARENT that he had swamped
the opposition.
There was jubilation unbounded in
the former governors headquarters as
the count began to record his victory.
Sulzer himself was all smiles. He
regarded his triumph as a personal
vindication, he said, and issued a
statement thanking his Supporters and
scoring Charles F. Murphy, the lead
er Of Tammany Hall, who, he declar-
ed, was condemned by the vote the
district gave to William Sulzer as
it's representative at ALBANY.

BACK TO CITY
is NOW OCCUPYING HIS NEW
RESIDENCE ON GARDEN
STREET.

Mr.. and Mrs. Hiram L. Hendley
have quit the old home place on the
Santa Fe pike where they have been
the past twenty years and are now at
home in the handsome new residence
on North Garden street, having NOV
ed into the city Tuesday. This latter
is one of the handsomest and most
complete in it's appointments in the
city and all Columbia will be glad to
welcome them back to the town they
left twenty years ago, although they
have practically lived in the city dur
ing that time.
Twenty years ago Mr.. Hendley re-
signed the office Of mayor, sold his
place near the corner of High and
Ninth street and went to the farm he
sold J. H. Murphy a short time ago.
At that time they had three boys and
one girl, all at home Later another
son, Bentley, was born to them. They
return with none of the children at
home. The daughter, Miss Calista,
died about ten years ago.
Mr.. Murphy will move to his new
home right away.

PEDDLED BOOZE
THROUGH THE BARS
rs DELIVERED FROM THE LYNN
VILE BASTlLE AND MAKES
ESCAPE.

About the most interesting bottleg-
ging story of the season-bootleggin
season-comes from Lynnville. 1t is
to the effect that on Saturday night
the marshal of the Giles county town
arrested colored vendor of joy wa
ter and he had in his possession fifty.
two pints in suit cases, and 80 gun
on his person. For this little trespass
upon the laws he was placed in the
lock up to be carried to the county
jail at Pulaski Monday morning. 1t
is reported that he was turned up
to the officers by Dock Bray, who put
up the price for couple of pints and
the vendor failed to deliver
In the search by the officers they
failed to recognize the fact that the
negro had big overcoat on his arm,
and this overcoat was the store house
Of the suit case overflow, which it
later developed amounted to. several
pints. During the day Sunday he sold
this out through the bars at Is cents
per nip, and when the evening train
came by as usual everybody in town
went to the depot excepting the incar.
cerated one and a friend who nipped
the lock on the city bastile with a
bolt cutter secured from a nearby
blacksmith shop, and perhaps the two
together departed without even so
much as a courtesy for the accommo
dations Of the previous night. They
also left the aforesaid fifty-two pints
in charge Of the officer.

CROWD GOING TO
SEE RED RAINEY
EE-vANDERBilT FOOT
BALL GAME WILL ATTRACT
LARGE NUMBER.

Indications are that there will be
4 large crowd of fans from Columbia
to Nashville Saturday to witness the
game on Dudley Field between Vandy
and Tennessee. The drawing card
for the Columbians is that red head
ed quarterback on Tennessee. Rainey
has a great following here and the
fans that go from here while as a
rule are for Vandy except when Sewa-
nee plays, will be found roofing and
pulling for the great Tennessee quar-
ter. Red Rainey is product of the
Columbia Military Academy, and his
friends would be pleased to see him
put it over on the Gold and Black in
Saturdays battle. There is hardly a
grittier or more steady player on the
gridiron this season than Red and he
will make vandy think that some
thing has broke loose in Georgia"
before the whistle blows announcing
the battle over.
It is a dead cinch that if he gets
any kind of support from his team
mates that he will shove the oval over
the Gold and Black goal. He is not
only q fearless player and plunees
through the line of his opponents
with a determination to either gain
ground or bust up something, but he
is one Of the best broken field run
ners that ever attended the local
school. Here's hoping for a victory
for Red"

ponents join in the wish that he may

hope that it will be of substantial
benefit to the CITY,"

WILL CUT PIE
AT EARLY DATE
TENNESSEE PATRONAGE TO BE
DISPENSED IN THE VERY
NEAR FUTURE.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 5.-Tennes-
see patronage was the subject today
of conferences between Senator Luke
Lea and several members of the cab
met. He conferred with Secretary Of
State Bryan, Secretary of Treasury
McAdoo, Secretary of the Interior
Lane, Postmaster General Burleson
and Assistant Treasures Williams
and Newton.
While federal Offices were not the
sole subject of these several confer
snces, it is understood that in a num-
Der of instances the senator dwelt
upon this question and 1t is believed
tonight that within few days prac-
tically all of the disputed patronage
will be distributed Senators Lea
and Shields will talk over matters at
a meeting tomorrow.
The Memphis postmastership, it is
understood, is regarded as the most
pressing patronage in dispute. The
office is now vacant owing to the
death of Maj. French and bonding
company is administering Its affairs
It Is the belief here tonight that Sen.
ators Lea and Shields will formally
endorse Tom Looney for the office and
will resist the naming Of G. W., Pease
who has been recommended for the
place by Representative Mcclellan
who lives in Memphis. The opposi
ton of the senators to Pease, it is
understood, contemplates a united
fight against his confirmation by the
senate should his name be sent in by
the President
In these circumstances it is believ
ed that Pease will be eliminated
leaving the field to Looney. The sit
uation is regarded as more or less del
icate on account of Representative
McKellars attitude toward Looney
Postmaster General Burleson is un
derstood to favor Looney and will as
sist the senators.

ARKANSAS MILITIA
LEFT OUT IN COLD

LITTLE ROCK, Ark, Nov. A.
Gov. Hayes today received notifica-
ton from Assistant Secretary of War
Breckenridge that the United States
government will render no further
aid to the Arkansas militia. AS the
last legislature refused to make an
appropriation for the militia this
ends practically all hope Of preserv-
ing its organization.
The war departments action is due
to the report of Captain Sloan, militia
inspector of Arkansas. A year ago
Captain Sloan reported that $4,000
worth Of equipment loaned to the Ar
kansas national guard was missing.
In his report this year he says condi-
tons are worse than year ago.

HAS BEEN TOLD HE MUST RE-
SIGN WITHOUT LOSS OF
TIME.
MUST NOT CONTROL SUCCESSOR
Reticence Around Washington and
Officials Refused to Deny or Con-
firm the Report, the Administration
Working Out Plans on the Quiet.

MEXICO CITY, Nov. president
Huerta has been told he must resign
the presidency of Mexico without loss
OF time and that he must not leave
as his successor Gen. Areliano Blan-
Quet, his minister of war, or any
other member of his official family
or Of the unofficial coterie whom he
might be expected to control.
This ultimatum from Washington
was conveyed to President Huerta
Through his private secretary, Senior
Rabago, by Nelson O'Shaughnessy,
the American charge daffaires, act
ling under instructions from the state
department.
Those who learned of the Wash
ington note regard Gen. Huerta's
position as one in which he will be
forced to give one of two answers
refusal point blank to comply with
the demand, possibly going so far
as to hand the diplomatic representa-
tive his passport, or the elimination
of himself officially.
Those most intimate with the pre-
sident insist that the latter course
will not be taken for many reasons,
chief among which is that such ac-
ton would be tantamount to sub
mission to the rebels Official Mexico
is no longer in doubt that the Wash
ington administration favors the
rebel cause and is convinced that
this is the means adopted by Presi-
dent Wilson and Secretary Bryan to
assist Carranza to win.
Reticence at Washington.
WASHINGTON. Nov. A we'll
defined report was current in official
circles tonight TO the effect that the
United States had communicated
anew to the Huerta government its
views concerning the necessity of
Huerta's retirement from the provis-
ional presidency.
White House officials would Meth
er confirm nor deny the report and
Secretary Bryan was equally reti-
cent. The administration is en-
deavoring to work out it's plans in
the quiet realm of diplomacy, and it
is understood will continue to clothe
in secrecy any negotiations it may
undertake to compose the situation.
Persons close to the White House
declared that both President Wilson
and Secretary Bryan were still hope
full that their policy of moral suasion
would succeed and added that any as
sumption that plans for Intervention
were being laid was unwarranted.

New York State Election May Show
Republican Majority for Legislature

NEW YORK, Nov 5.-Fusion car
ried New York City Tuesday, elect
ing John Purroy Mitchell mayor by
approximately $4,000 plurality and
retaining control of the important
board of estimate by a safe majority
Tammany Hall saw it's nominee for
the mayorality, Edward E. Mccall, go
down in defeat by one of the biggest
pluralities ever given against a can
didate of the organization and about
midnight it looked as if Tammany
might not even save the New York
county offices out of the wreckage
The big vote for Mitchell pulled
through the fusion candidates for
president of the board of aldermen
and comptroller, George McAneny
William A. Pendergrast, against
whom independence league as we'll
as organization democratic candidates
were running.
The election of Mitchell was early
apparent, but not until nearl two
thirds of the returns were in was the
success of McAneny and Pendergast
assured.
Apparently with the exception of
assemblymen in the districts which
usually go democratic, and minor Of
ficers in some of the boroughs, the
opposition to fusion succeeded in
electing> only one of it's nominees
Maurice E. Connolly, for borough
president Of Queens. The fusionists
elected borough presidents in Brook
ly, the Bronx and Richmond, and ap.
parently have pulled through their
candidate for president of the bar-
ough of Manhattan, Marcus M. Marks
by a small plurality, over DR.. Thos
Darlington, Tammany. The result
thus indicated would leave Tammany
but one vote out of the sixteen in the
board of estimate, which controls the
citys purse. A fusion majority in
the board of aldermen also seems as
sured.
In the sixth assembly district vii
liam Sulzer, recently deposed as gov
ernor, was elected on the progressive
ticket
Tammany leaders early conceded
the election of Mitchell, but it wal
not until nearly IL O'Clock that the.

At the same time Samuel s. Koe
