Notes From Democratic
State Headquarters

A telegram from former Senator
Fred 7. Dubois sent this morning from
| Chicago to Democratic state head
quarters reads: 1T looks very much
| like a landslide in the middle west.
The president will carry Ohio, Illinois
and Wisconsin. Indications are that
he will carry New York. The alleged
bets in New York are manufactured.
The presidents speeches in New York
made greater victory already great"
AS the campaign draws to a close
there is an optimistic feeling exhibited
from Democratic headquarters and it
comes from encouraging kilograms be-
ing sent ir from all sections These
kilograms are all to the effect that
the re- election of Woodrow Wilson is
assured.
In the state conditions never looked
better for a Democratic victory, is the
report at Democratic headquarters to-
day. The reports are that Woodrow
Wilson will carry Idaho and that the
majority of the state ticket will be
elected. From Teton and Franklin
counties word came today that those
two counties were absolutely safe for
Wilson and Alexander and the balance
of the state ticket
From north Idaho comes the report
that Wilson and Alexander and most
of the Democratic state ticket will
carry the northern counties by sub
stantial majorities and that in most
every county the Democratic ticket
will be elected almost in its entirety.
Indications are that w. r. Dougher-
ty, candidate for secretary of state
will run ahead of his ticket. He has
been in great demand as a speaker in
all sections of the state and especially
the last week. 1t has been impossible
to send him to all the points making
a demand to hear him. In Dougherty
the Democrats have one of the most
efficient men for that office which
they have ever offered the voters of
the state and are confident he will re-
ceive a big majority over his opponent
NJ. j. Kerr. candidate for congress on
the Democratic ticke., was at head
quarters today and feels optimistic ov-
er q Democratic victory in the state
Mr. Kerr Is one of the strong Wood
row Wilson men of the northwest and
in his addresses has dealt with ma
tional issues and done much for the
party nationally.
Thomas l.. Martin. one of the stall
wart young Democratic attorneys of
the state. will preside at the Alex
ander rally at the Pnney theater on
Monday night. Telephone calls to
headquarters are already being receiv-
ed asking II seats cannot be reserved
for parties from other towns The
committee finds that this will bc inn
possible but will do all possible to ac-
commodate visitors. Plans are well
under way for the big parade prior to
the theater meeting.

favor of the issue.
This vote was by far the largest
vote on any educational question
which has been put up to the people
of Sumter in recent years and the
fact that only tax payers could vote
makes the vote even larger proper

such large vote also indicates that

Help Reflect Him.

Anderson, Sept. 6.-Practically the
same men, representing all sections of
the county, who met here two weeks
ago to direct the campaign of Robert
A. Cooper for governor, met here
again this afternoon and organized to
wage campaign for Gov. Manning's
reelection. The crowd this afternoon
was much larger than that of two
weeks ago, being augmented by many
men who were Manning supporters at
the first primary. The Cooper and
Manning men are now working to-
gether enthusiastically for Gov. Man
ming and splendid results are expected
next Tuesday.
A plan was adopted this afternoon
by which all Cooper and Manning
supp ers will visit the polls and
wo> 0r Gov. Manninigs reelection.
Gov. Manning spent several hours
here today and attended the confer
ence. Before leaving he expressed
himself as being delighted with the
way the Manning and Cooper men in
this county are working hand in hand.
He said that today was one of the
most profitable days he has spent
since the first primary. He left here
greatly encouraged and thoroughly
satisfied with conditions in Anderson
county
The friends of the governor an
nounced last night on being advised
of his coming here today that he
would make speech from the court
house steps late this afternoon. A
large crowd came from the county to
hear him but the governor was unable
to remain here to mako the speech.
he stated with great reluctance that
he could not remain here until the
hour announced for speaking because
of other imperative engagements,
made several days ago. which called
him away from Anderson early in
the afternoon.

If Mr.. Cooper is so satisfied with
Gov. Manning's administration he
should not have fome out against
him, but supported him from the
first. What he now does weakens
his position. All first class papers will
give both sides of a question when
their patrons differ and the paper
that can't do that should take a back
seat 50 far as it can exert any in
