The democrats made little or no effort to com- ment on the independents, nppaf. entity being content to profit by the dissontion in the c. O. D. ranks. Leaders of the insurgent party pointed to its apparent strength m rural sections as an indication 1t would make great inroads upon republican power, which has long derived It's chief support in the small towns.
 Independents Most Active
 The independents were the most active campaigners of any Of the partigans. With crusading zeal, they organized groups in most of tbe 169 towns of the state and heid several rallies a day during tho closing weeks of the campaign. Being composed in a large measure of persons associated with the churches and the temperance or ganizatoins. they held. the begin- nings of political machinery in most communities and were able 10 mako unusual progress in assem- bling q statewide political entity. despite tho fact they were estab- liehed as q party only q few months before election.

presidential candidate, protested repealist said:

When confronted with the possibility of a vote on

Democratic Senator Dill of Washington, leader
in the Roosevelt movement said of the beer bill:

That Electricity Tax

If more states will follow the lead of South Caro-
lima, the outrageous action of congressional COM
mittee in transferring the per cent federal cleo
tricity tax from companies to consumers may be
nullified.
The South Carolina railroad commission has called
on companies under its jurisdiction to pay the tax
themselves, as congress originally intended they
should, instead of charging it to consumers
I'm effect" says the commission, ''the assessment
of 8 per cent on the amount paid each month for
electrical energy by the consumer is nothing more
nor less than an increase in rates-and this at
time when there is falling market for necessares
and luxuries.
1.-THE commission feels that the companies well
could afford to absorb this tax and that this absorp
ton would strengthen their relations with customers
and the people generally"
So far, the South Carolina companies have not
said what they will do about it, but a municipality
owned power plant, at Marshall Mo, has announced
it will pay the federal tax out of surplus and charge
its consumers nothing.
If private companies don't fall in line, there is
likely to be an increased demand among users OF
electricity for public ownership of their utilities.
