In Tuesday's election the Progres sive party nominees had the recog nized disadvantage, in nearly all the states, of figuring last on the one official ballot allowed. They appeared in the far corner, beyond the socialist and prohibition nominees. The show ing made by them Tuesday will change this, however. Next time they will, as a rule, have second or first place, : It is announced from headquarters of the party In New York that activi ties directed toward further growth Governor Wilson becomes President and stability will be steadily pushed, without the consent of a majority of I There has already been made the great that he will arrive here Saturday night and will convene Superior court for the November civil, term on Mon aay morning. Some days ago It was reported unofficially that Judge Fouschee, who has been ill for sev eral months, would not be able to come here to hold court. The mem bers of the association were very much concerned about the report, as there is much legal work of a press ing nature to be disposed of.

I step of inducing voter to break away from old party names to the extent of taking rank next after the victorious democracy at one bound. Of course a tremendous amount of fixed habit and Inertia and unacquaintance had to be overcome. If the progressives had a wnndnrfllllv nnnlllni nflnritrinto thav son, several oi mese nuu enormous were opposed by a wonderfully strong his fellow citizens, just as did John Quincy Adams in 1824, Polk in 1844, Taylor Jn 1848, Buchanan in 1856, Lincoln in I860, Hayes in 1876, Gar field in 1880, Cleveland in 1884 and 1892 and Harrison in 1888. Like WII- I pluralities, and most of them major ities in the electoral college. Adams and Hayes had a majority of neither democratic candidate, clearly by far the strongest that could have been named. And they lost at least two popular nor electoral votes. Polk had and CaIlfornIai only because ln one a big electoral majority; so did Pierce, hut a popular majority of but 63,000. Garfield's plurality was only 7000. Cleveland's popular minority in the Democratic sweep of 1892 was nearly a million.' Wilson's minority seems to figure about one-tenth of the total vote. Lincoln's in 1860 was about one-fifth. LaFollette's petty jealousy cost them all the votes he could influence to about I eltner Wilson or Taft and because in me otner me stanapatters votea lor Wilson ln a solid mass. The progressive party has done an excellent thing in causing the election of Governor Wilson. It has performed a more lastingly significant benefit by breaking up the old republican party, whose usefulness was at an end. It cuts loose from the old republicanism's sectional traditions, offering itself as a party which is truly national and also alive to the times. The country needs such a party, in addition to the democ racy. We hope that the progressives will be unquestionably the leading op position party four years hence, as prospects now lndlctae in the strong est stort ot way. it would mark a new, better and freer era in our polit ical life, the final burying away of the civil war. Charlotte Observer. Tennessee remains one of the ban ner States for freak politics. It gives Wilson a plurality of 70,000 and elects Hooper, Republican, Governor by some 6000. There is a general confusion as to who will be elected senator to succeed Saunders. Speaking of Tennessee whenever an Asheville man has occasion to visit the cities of that State he comes back shedding exclamation marks sadden ed, or gladdened, according to his views on llcker, by the flagrant dis regard of the prohibition laws. The saloons are wide open; their signs announce that beer and whiskey are to be had within, and nobody makes any bones of it. One man who got a beer in Knnyvllln afton 1am aalA h. ki , , j .

Three Powers In Accord. Berlin, Nov. 8. Germany. Austria- District Attorney A. E. Holton, who is here at present attending the ses sion of Snlted States District court, was asked today about the present status of the Breese-Dickerson case and he said that it is now in the hands of the United States Circuit Court of Ap peals and will be remanded from that court to the District court here, where the case was first tried. He said also that when it is brought back here on mandate all that will remain for the court to do will be to take the defend ants into custody, release their bonds men and execute the sentence of two years each for Major Breese and Mr. Dlckerson in the federal prison In Atlanta. When asked if there will be any further appeals or technical points of law that will have to be settled by a higher court he said that if there are any of either he does not know of them. In his mind the case is now settled except for the formalities re quired by the courts In remanding and executing sentence. He does not know when the mandate will be re ceived from the Appeals court. Mr. Holton was also asked if there will be any action taken against W. H. Penland, who was Involved with the others but has never been brought to trial. He said that he does not know, as the matter is now, and has been since the cases first came uu. entirely out of his hands. He said that when the actions against Messrs. Breese and Dlckerson were first re ported there was some arrangement made for Mr. Penland by his friends or attorneys with the attorney gen eral of the United States whereby it is understood that he was to furnish cer tain Information ln the trial and was given some kind of immunity. Mr. Holton stated therefore that he would have to await orders from the attorney general, if any should be forthcoming, before he could start ab action against Mr. Penland. He also stated that If Mr. Penland had ever furnished any information during the trials that had been of value to the governments case he is not aware of it.
