Interested Outsiders Locking On.

Race track gamblers in the North
and distillers who compose the whole
sale liquor trust will as eagerly await
Geographic news from the South Caro-
lima election next Tuesday as will any
interested citizen in this State.
The horse racers who have been out
lawed in all except two or three States
would like to see the election of Mr..
Blease so they can resume their rsc &c
meet near Charleston in violation of
the laws of South Carolina. These
parasites have made no attempt to con
duct the races since Governor Man
ming went into office. The why is too
evident to state.
The wholesale liquor dealers are hop
ing that Mr.. Blease will win in order
that blind tigers over the State, espe-
cially in the cities, may resume bust
ness. The return of blind tigers means
increased shipments of whiskey into
the State by the liquor dealers of other
States.
Will your vote be on the side of the
race track gamblers and liquor dealers
or will it be on the side of continued
enforcement of the laws of the State?
We believe a majority of the people
of South Carolina stand for the con-
tinued enforcement of the laws.

Retaliatory Measure Adopted.

Congress has done within the past
few days whatlt should have done sew
eral months ago, and that was to enact
a retaliatory measure striking at the
allied blacklist and British interference
with American mails. England's treat
ment of America and American inter-
ests has not been altogether blameless
and it has a%ppearedat times that those
in authority in this country have been
rather tool slow in calling her to account.
This is especially true of the black
listing of certain American export
ers and the seizure of United States
mails.
However, congress has finally acted
in a way that will lead to a change of
policy on the part of ithe British gov
eminent. The act just passed gives
the president the power to "deny the
use of mails, express, telegraph, wire
less and cable, facilities to citizens OF
nations which do not accord the Amerl-
cans all facilities of commerce" 1t
also vests the president with the power
to withhold clearance to all vessels that
discriminate against American ship
pers.
The enforcement of this act will
make England feel the effects of the
policy adopted some months ago that
has worked a hardship on American
interests. Itlis merely paying her in
her own coin.

How Woul You Have State Governed!

Your vote next Tuesday will show
not so much what man you want to oe
governor of South Carolina as 1T Will
show in what manner you desire to see
the State governed. The people had
four years of Governor Blease's ad-
ministration and they have had nearly
two years of Governor Manning Now
which of the two gave the people the
most satisfactory administration? Place
their records side by side and then
choose by your vote in what manner
you prefer to have the affairs of gov
eminent administered for the next two
years.

people of South Carolina desire to
see a repetition of 1911, 1912, 1918 and
1914.

RESULTS OF ELECTION HELD
THROUGHOUT STATE OF
WISCONSIN,.
MILWAUKEE, MAYOR is SOCIALIST
Daniel w. Hoan Defeats Mayor Bad
ing, Non-partisan Candidate, by
Narrow Margin-Other OFF,
Gals Elected Are Non
Partisans.

Milwaukee 49, Daniel w. Hoan, So
calist city attorney, has been elected
mayor of Milwaukee, defeating G. A.
Bading, non-partisan candidate for re-
election, by probable majority of
1900. Unofficial returns from 128 out
of 143 precincts gave Hoan 30,lS7
votes and Bading $4,000. John J.,
Drew, non-partisan, defeats Charles d.
Whitnall, socialist, for city treasurer,
and Louis M. Kotecki has been re-
elected comptroller over Leo Kryzcki,
socialist. The majoritieS of Drew and
Kotecki will be between 5000 and
$500 Mayor Badipg carried eleven
wards out of twenty-five and Drew and
Kotecki each carried fourteen wards.
Contests for aldermen-at-large are
very close, but it is probable that five
and possibly six of the non-partisan
candidates are winners. 1t seems
certain that the city council will be
non-partisan in voting strength. Judge
A. G. Heddng has been reelected
civil court Judge. defeating George
Mensing, socialist candidate.
Judge e. y. Belden of Racine is
leading in the state by 2,225 votes in
the contest for supreme court justice
according to returns from thirty-fiye
places outside of Milwaukee. His
closest opponent is Judge Fowler of
FOND du Lac. The same scattering re-
turns indicate that a majority of the
Philip delegates to the national re-
publican convention have also been
elected. The ticket of four delegates
at-large, headed by Gov. Philip seems
to be elected without question.
