FULMER
PLEASED
WITH RESULT
Congressman From Seventh
District Believes Position of
Democratic Party is
Strong

Columbia. Nov. 20.-That the
situation in congress is-better than
if Democratic victory had been
recorded is the opinion expressed
by leading political observers and
by officials. Congressman II. P.
Fulmer, Of the seventh congression-
al district. on his way to Washing
ton yesterday for the extra session
of congress, commented interest
ingly on the situation. He stated
that he was very much pleased
with the Democratic situation
throughout the country and feels
confident the coming congress will
be a step in the direction of DEM
ocratic victory in 1924.
Mr.. Fulmer expressed the opin-
ion that should the election have
brought a Democratic majority in
congress, all errors and unpopular
moves would have been blamed on
the Democratic party, and would
have served to overcome the
strength of the party in the next
presidential election. With the Re
publicans in power, the mistakes
that are inevitable will work to the
defeat of the G.. O.. p The "ins'
win go out; the outs will so in.
Mr.. Fulmer predicts the election of
a Democratic president in 1924
At the same time Mr.. Fulmer ex-
poets the strong Democratic vote in
congress to act as a restraint on
G. C. P. tactics and to result in
some satisfactory legislation.
The seventh district congress-
man predicts that the Republicans
will make a strong effort to pass
the ship subsidy bill at the extra
session, which starts this week, for
it will never pass, he says, the new
congress.
Mr.. Fulmer stated further that
he considers President Harding's
recess appointment of Joseph Toll
bert as marshal for the western
district as a last resort Of the
president, and he does Aot believe
| the regular appointment will be
confirmed.

Cats Acquitted
On Peonage Char fge
Former Governor of Florida
Steps Through Meshes
Of Law

Pensacola. Fla, Nov. 20 fBy the
Associated Press Sidney j. Cats,
former governor Of this state, was
found not guilty by a jury in fed
era1 court here tonight which
tried him on charge of peonage.
The jury .deliberated only nine
minutes. In fact speed characterlz-
ed the case from the beginning.
The former governor was alleged
to have held John Henry Rogers IN
bendageeon his farm, after he had
been pardoned from life time SEN
tence during his term Of Office
A second Indictment charged him
with holding Ed. Brown IN the same
manner, his. trial today dealing
with the former
The court took the case this
morning, consumed less than an
hour in selecting a jury and adj
vanced rapidly into nightssesslon.
AT the conclusion of testimony at
II o'clock both sides waived argu-
ment and Judge w. IS. Sheppard
delivered his charge.
The defense countered the pros
tecution's claim that the negroes
were held in peonage with the
contention that their labor was OF
their own volftion and constituted
nothing more than an agreement
they entered into with Mr.. Cats
in payment by him of $50 debt
incurred by the negroes in counsel
fees incident to their pardons.
The defense centered most of its
case on an effort to break down
the claims of the negroes tha;
they never had any money, the
negroes having admitted they were
well treated, clothed and fed. In
this connection. approximately a
dozen witnesses including repu-
table citizens and negro intimates
of Rogers and Brown testified they
seemed to be always supplied with

Gated he would move tomorrow thai
