WHO WILL BE ELECTED PREBI OENT? The shsoiblug question In thla counti > now is Who w ill be elected preatdeut next month?" The trouble lu the Bulkiina, the progress of the fleet, the work at Panama and all other uewa la of aecondary Interest only Kveit Inisineaa Is to a oouatd* rable extent held In abevauee In ten s: la centered on the result of the election, and this Interest grows from day to day until the tatetul day shah come and this question he settled It sometime* happens that there Is little doubt about the result of the presidential election. This was the ease four year* ago, when for months belnr. election dav tt was generally rccugntled that It would be a republican landslide This year it t* ditto nut. It ta curiam shat the republlcaua will meet heavy loaaes, hut wid those losses be great enough to cause the defeat of the republteau | nominees? The republican plurality pus Olio 1 ill- . -1.1 dented. It must be remembered. Koosevelt's popular plurality was 2.J46.615. or more than 60 per cent |of the enttre democratic vote, and hla majority iu the electoral college | was l»k voles, or 66 more than the enttre number of vote* east for Pa*, ker If this immense majority should ibe a landslide and that thla wttt be | 'he esse Is expected bv alt. Can thla I landslide assume such proportion* as ; to reverse n*)oritles—that t* the ab sorbing quest lon The total number ot vote* In the elector*! college thla year I* 493. and 343 vote* are necessary to make ,t choice The state* confidently claim cd by the republican* are California j 10, Delaware 3, lowa 13, Massachu | reels 18, Minnesota 11, New Jersey 12 : Oregon 4, Rhode Island 4, Washing ton 5, Wyoming 3, Connecticut 7, Il linois 37, Maine 0, Michigan 14, New I Hampshire 4, North Dakota 4, Penn sylvania 34, Vermont 4. West Vir ginia 7, making a total of 183 votes. The following stares are certain to go for Bryan: Alabama 11, Florida 5, Kentucky 13, Maryland 8, Missouri 18, Oklaho ma 7, Tennessee 13, Virginia 13, Ar kansas ft, Georgia 13, Louisiana ft, Mississippi 10, North Carolina 13, , Bouth Carolina ft, Texas 18, .. total of 1C« voles. To these may he added Colorado ... Montana 8, Nebraska S. I and Nevada 3, all of which are rea sonably certain for Bryan, bringing bis vole up to 183. This Would leave Taft needing 34 votes, and Bryan 7,7 votes, which respectively they must ) get to secure the election. Kansas lo votes, Wisconsin 13 and Idaho 3 may be safely counted - for I Taft, which would give him 38 mo'e I votes, or -8 short of the required j number, and these he could get if he curried New York, having 39 votes, or Ihi other doubtful states of Ohio 23, Indiana 15, South Dakota 4, and ( tali 3. As Indiana Is a very doubt j tijl stali*. and certainly not remain j in the republican column if the land slide towards democracy he strong i enough to swing New York over, It i appears that Taft must carry New | York to he elected. And l he same applies to Bryan, i After counting for him the states he will certainly carry, he will be 57 votes short of the necessary number to bi elected. Should he carry all the oilier doubtful stales he would Hi.il lack 10 votes. If lie carries New York, the same causes which will operate to give him that, state will give him the other necessary 18 votes I In the doubtful slates of the west. So it appears that New York Is the pivotal state. The candidate who carries New York will be elected. they lowered the tax rate. Iliere is a city never mind its name, hut it I* within les* than a thou sand miles or Augusta where there was much and very hard kicking among the citizens last year on ac count of the heavy taxes they were assessed by l heir city Dads. And well they had a tight lo kick, for the City lax rate was $14.50 per thousand. Mindful of the storm of protests- and illy Dads like oilier officials are al ways mindful of them when election time draws near these officials put ' their heads together to devise some plan whereby the tax rate might be reduced. Ii was a difficult problem. The city ' had not made any considerable growth, to add to Its income by that means. There was no way to reduce the fixed expenses, for they dared not apply the pruning knife lo any offi cial's salary. And In addition to that the city's lighting plant hail been dam aged several thousand dollars by the August freshet, which must be repaired, and $5,000 worth of school bond* would full due and must be retired. In ihe face of all these difficulties they u< compllahed tho seeming.y Im possible luck. They reduced the city's lux rate from sl4 50 per thousand to $llOO per thousand. The Income un der this rale was calculated and com pared with the required appropria tions and found to balance. The glad tidings of the reduced tax rate was given to the people, and the people hailed these city dads it* faithful and i efficient servants, as wise lawmakers ami friends of the people. They sang their praises with heartfelt joy and. i of course, rewarded them with another term of office. Men who can so manage ns to re duce taxes Imposed ou the people are the men who should be elected to of lice, every time. This was done and Joy was unanimous, the people happy over having their tax rate lowered e handsomely, and the city council men over having been again elected to serve their fellow-citizens. Then eante the time for the pay mem of taxes, and with this a storm broke loose. The tax rate had been lowered all right, but the assessments had been raised, and the tdividua) tax payer found, on squaring his account with Ihe city, that despite this re duced lax rute the amount of his tax "a* just a little Idt more thun It had been last year. And now there Is more kicking over ta*es In that city than there was last year. The paeans of Joy over the reduced tax raie have been changed Into growls of discon tent over the raising of the assess ment, and the member* of council are called alt the hard names In the < lexicon. Thnt Is the way with the people generally. They can never tntnk that what the government spends wheth er it be city, county, state or Fed eral-must be pulled out of the pock et* of the people by some method. Vs a rule the people are always i .ijor and clamoring for the government to do n little more than It tins been do ing They Insist upon It, they urge tt, and if given a chance they will vote for It And then, when the money Is taken out of thetr pockets to foot the bills, they raise n howl about It. Yet tt is vor\ certain that there Is no other way, for the government has no money except as It makes the |ieo pie deliver It up Into the public Irens urv It makes little dtt reuce by what method this ta dene The cold, hard inevitable fact Is that the peo pie must supply what the government spends, and the only wav taxes may he made lighter La hv making the ex tiense* of the government less. At the elei-'lon next month the peo- I pie will be required lo vote on the jamendment to the constitution to pay a pension to all Confederate soldiers -and their windows, regardless of any conditions. Of course this amend ment will bo ratified by a large mi i jorltj her people always favor the government doing something for the j people Thla will double the atate'a pension I account It w ill add another million 'to he taxed out of th* people. , Whether this hr dime by Increasing I the tax rate or raising assessments makes no difference—the people must pay It the aam* under either proreaa. And Mien pre|>ar*' to hoar the howl I thnt will be raised. r 72 Augusta herald Cannon And The Fig ht In His District. Next In Interest to the presidential campaign, which has emerged from [ marked quiet to a period of distinct activity, is the fight made against .Speaker Cannon In his own district. Czar of the House as he has been for years, dominant figure In hls own district, and elected time after lime with practically no opposition, Ihe congressman is now engag'd In the hardest fight he has ever waged While rallying every possible force to bis aid, Speaker Cannon has had manifest, evidence in the past several month 'hat, hi defea* would bring as few tears from men in the ranks of nls own party as ft would from the Democrats. Many ar.lftnOsitlea that owe their origin to his despotic rule In the lower house are being secret ly, but venomously, expressed in the fight made against the veteran legis lator from the Middle West. No campaign of recent years—not even barring the Littlefield contest lias been marked with such determi ned activity by the advocates of or ganized labor. The Amerfean Federa tion of Labor has sent men Into the Danville district to carry on a cam paign against the speaker for the rest of the month. Improbable as Ii is 'bat ibis opposition will mean his defeat, It evidences the bitter feet Ing that the speaker has had arous 'd against, him by hls high-handed methods In the past. At the same time, it is probable that the congressman will be re elected. Few men are more strongly entrenched In a particular district than Cannon. He has an effeective machine at his back that is straining every part to effect his victory, atm In the Midst of The Muss. By We x Jones. Turkish fleet ordered to visit the Isles of Samos and Oldhoss! Rushed down to board the flag ship, the Medjidle. Found ‘he cap tain, Tuff Pasha, standing on edge of dock. "This is fine,” he said; “ordered to Oldhoss, and I've never been to sea in my life! How do leople Und their way on the water? —there are no roads!" "Follow one of the mail steamers,” I suggested. Tuff Pasha cheered up at once, and declared that as soon as the gardeners had done their work l.e would put to sea. The Medjl die, il appears, had been so long In one place thut she had grown to it. When the gardeners had finished, the carpenters puttied up the moth holes in ihe armor, a bucket brigade carried water to the dock, and the warship was afloat. Tuff Pasha mounted to the bridge, and. shouting to the helmsman to take Ihe second turn to the left, took Itis flagship majestically down th» harbor, until a collision with a care lessly navigating eel stove in our port bow. One of the crew, who fortunately happened to be a plum ber, managed to straighten out the damage, and the armor was strength cited with a coat of paint. By this time we had advanced some distance from home and night began to fall, smashing in the upper dock. Luckily two of the crew had been paper hangers, aud alter a few hours' work the dock was replaced with brown paper, which was much smoother and considerably stronger. Two days later the Medjidie drift ed upon Ihe tide at Oldhoss, greatly lo the surprise of Tuff Pasha and the Oldhoßßes, who promptly surrender ed their arms on viewing the fierce, warlike array of the battleship. This in encouraged Tuff I hat he tried to run out one of the guns and fire a salute. All of the guns but one, TALKS ABOUT GEORGIA. Georgia a White Man's State.

The fight against Cannon Is in a sense personal, but the greater op position ha 3 been aroused by the rules which have permitted him to become absolute master of the lower house. The defeat of Cannon woula riot change the rules, but, it is no; going far to presume that the dis approval of the people, thus openly expressed, will be a pointed object lesson to the next speaker that pres ent conditions are altogether unac ceptable. He would be a poor poll tician who did not read the signs ot the times in the fight against Can non, and a move for substantia, change in house procedure ivoula hardly meet with defiant opposition. As much vital importance attaches to the fight against Cannon as to thu national campaign. The absolutism which surrounds the speaker, re ducing the representative of Sov ereign States to complete subserv ience to one man, presents a situation that, is entirely out of harmony with every tenet of American republican government. Exigencies of party dis cipline cannot excuse rules that make a man the tool of a few powerful leaders, and compel him to coincide in policies to which his conscience und sense ot righ' cannot give total adherence. Absolute liberty of press and creed has been and is still recognized as the cornerstone of American liberty. Liberty of legislators, permitting them to exercise the best judgment and foresight they possess and the operation of rules contrary to this view is wrong from every viewpoint. —New Orleans Item. however, broke In two, the solitary exception breaking in three. This didn t matter much, as the natives arms had been ttfrown into the sea. and they couldn't very well fight with their feet. Oldhoss is a historic island, bui all Its prominent citizens are dead. Most of them wote books suitable for Greek text books, ritthough a few of them were in the statuary business and made sculptures which must nave been O. K. before legs, heads and arms were broken off. The Oldnosses of the present day are noted for being able to talk Greek and for being able to live on the is land. They wear a sort of wilt, which gives them a strong resemb lance to a busted bale of cotton. Tuff Pasha was disguted with tho island and wanted to start at once for Bulgaria, where there was more chance to pick up a. bit of coin, bu; his flagship had been spread out on the hillside to dry, so he had to take a trading steamer. The captain was an Englishman, and, as he declare'', a friend of liberty, rib he put Tuft Pasha in irons, which appeared an odd way of showing hls feelings Later he discovered that Tuff was only twenty-seven years old. and therefore a Young Turk, so he re leased the captive and landed us on the west roast of Servla. The country was boiling over with enthusiasm for a war wi’h Austria, but when some unpa'riotlc person pointed out thtjt the Austrian army was mobilizing near tip’ frontier, anil would probably be impolite enough to do the fighting on Servian soil, tho people decided hastily that It would be better to leave the dispute to a mail vote. Tuff Pasha went back to'Fonstan linople, where the Sultan welcomed him so warmly that he lost hls head. Will the fuss never begin? ABOUT SOUTH CAROLINA. The Grievance of the Mob.
