more, Gov. Blease being of the

Sees His Error.
A promineiit farmer the other
day discussing the low price of
cotton remarked: “I am satisfied
that the price of cotton has been
reduced more by the Democrats
in Congress trying to revise the
tariff on cotton goods than any
other cause, while I have never
voted anything but a Democratic
ticket. Yet if the Lord will for
give me for my past sins, I will
never vote a Democratic ticket
again.” There are lots of far
mers that are getting their eyes
open and will be found voting
for the interest of themselves,
their wi ves and their children in
stead of ranningafter a gang of
politicians who care nothing for
them nor their families after
they get their votes.—News Dis

Good Place to Stop.
Our merchants are rapidly
turning their attention to the
Thanksgiving and Christmas holi
days which win be on us in the
next few weeks. There are signs
. already to be seen for the shop
ping of the merry season, and
Burlington’s great stores are
making ready to out-do their fine
records- of past years. The State
Dispatch is the medium through
which
people. ’' The Presidentis frank
ly pleased at the cordiality with
which he was everywhere re
ceived on the prolonged journey,
and openly declares that from
the close touch with the people
and the opportunity which the
jou»’ney afforded him of gauging
popular thought and sentiment
at close range He has derived
much benefit. Before Congress
assembles in regular session in
December he will prepare his
third annual message, and it is a
safe fo,recast that it will be a
messag'6 the more explicit in its
conclusions because of the in
formation gathered during the
swing through the states.
And now that the President is
back again at the home base,
those who make it their main
business in life to trace out cause
and effect in the doings of the
great actors upon the world stage
will be readjusting estimates as
to the probabilities of the nation
al election year. General elec
tions have been held in less than
a dozen states, and in most iu“
stances the results hinged upon
purely local issues. But it is
generally conceded that in New
York, New Jersey, Massachu
setts and New Mexico the elec
tion results of this year do serve
as indicators of the eddying tide
of popular sentiment. This is so
with regard to . New York, be
cause that state swings such an
influence in national affairs that
state elections in that common
wealth are always regarded as
having a considerable signifi
cance with regard to the drift of
sentiment in the wider field of
national politics. The election
in New Jersey regarded as
having a bearing in national pol
itics because the Governor of.that
state threw his personality and
prestige into the activities of the
state campaign, he being looked
' upon as a prospective presiden
tial candidate. The election in
Massachusetts was made to pos
sess a significance as pertaining
to national issues because such
questions were discussed in the
preliminary campaign. Nev^'
Mexico, in the first election, of
course, indicate the status ol
popular opinion as regards affil
iation with one or the other of
the great national parties.
In New York there was a
sweeping Republiean victory. The
1911 legislature, which was Dem
ocratic by a large majority in the
House and Democratic on joint
ballot, will be succeeded by a
legislature Republican in both
branches. In New Jersey a Dem
ocratic legislature will be suc
ceeded by a legislature Republic
an in both branches. In Massa
chusetts the full state Republican
ticket with the exception of gov
ernor was elected, and the pre
vious for Foss was reduced from
over 30,000 to less than 9,000. It
was anticipated that the election
in New Mexico would be a Dem
ocratic sweepstakes. The pre
vailing impression had been that
this new state was thoroughly
Democratic in its sympathies and
tendencies,, and it, therefore,
came as a complete surprise when
the full returns indicated that a
ions all the trustworthy'In dica
tions sustained the conclusion
that the altitude and lecord cf
the President upon questions at
issue represented the views of
his party in its popular and nation
wide aspects. The elections have
served to confirm that belief be
yond the shadow of doubt. It is
not now likjely that there will be
any other ' name suggested for
first place on the ticket than that
of William Howard Taft at the
Republican National Convention
which will ssemble next year. It
would be a presumptions pro
phet, however, who wolud at this
time undertake to predict posi
tively the Democratic nominee.
Those who have concluded that
Dr. Woodrow Wilson was a long-
sought-for Democratic ' Moses
must have had their confidence
rudely jostled when they perused
the returns from the last Jersey
election. Dr Wilson had made
speeches in every Jersey county,
and his presidential aspirations
were in common acceptance in
volved in the st^te election. It is
not the Dr. Woodrow Wilson sha
dow merely, but Democratic
presidential shadows upon the
whole are looking much less im
pressive than they were before
the November election results
were available.

Looking Forward to 1912.
After a prolonged journey
which led him through thirty
states of the Union, and which
reeled a railroad measureme-nt in
excess of 15,000 miles, the Pres
ident returned to the national
capital, and, as he himself de
clares, “rejoiced to get home
from a trip in which I have had
the pleasure of explaining, from
my standpoint, some of the im
portant issues of the day to ma
ny hundreds of thousands of
There is no reason to suppose
that the election in Maryland was
greatly influenced by national
politics; neither was the election
in Kentucky, nor were any of
the various municipal elections.
But those elections just previous
ly referred to must be regarded
as pointers in national politics
for the reasons that are given.
So regarded, they render the out
look, from a Republican point Of
view, SO unobscured and clear
that the most causal and unpre
tentious of prophets can make an
accurate forecast. But the Dem
ocratic situation, beyond a doubt,
is much more Defogged than it
appeared to be before the Novem
ber elections were heard from.
Prior to the November elect
We know that Warehousemen on the small markets
promise you “highest prices.” They mean, their markets;
but they do not, and cannot mean “highest prices,” because
they know and we know, and we want you to ki^ow, that
withotLt keen competition, “highest prices” cannot be obtained.
The more people there are wanting a thing, the more that
that thing will be in bemand.
Now, our buyers want tobacco, they want it because the
other fellow wants it, and wants it bad. Our market is not
limited to the buyers of the Big Companies, we haye from
five to ten times as many Independent Bayers as any other
market, and they buy several million pounds annually. To
do this, they BID HIGHER than the Big Buyer, and in the
meantime they are making the Big Buyer bid up to the “top
notch,” on their purchases. That, is the effect of competi
tion, and that is why Danville stands pre-eminent as the
“Leading Loose Leaf Tobacco Marnet.”
Now, don’t take any changes on doing “as well” on some
other market, but sell in Danville, and KNOW that you are
doing the BEST.
The Danville Co-Operative Warehouse Company is the
best agency in the business today for the sale of “Loose Leaf
Tobacco.”
Operating six large warehouses, known as Acree’s, Ban
ner, Central, Holland’s, Planters and Union, which are un
excelled as to location, lights, Hoor space, and accominotjla-
tions, and conducted by the ablest corps of men ever engag
ed in the business, with ainple capital, and every kno wn fa
cility, we offer you not only “highest market prices, but a
CERTAINTY of “higher prices” than can be obtained else-
vvhere at any time.
Every assistance, courtesy and accommodation is personal
ly extended to our patroas and friends, both at selling time
and crop growing time.
We solicit? your patronage on these grouuds, and can, and
will verify our claims.
