WILSON WINS !
With great pleasure we now
announce that Wilson wins, and
that a majority of the voters of
the United States have decided
that they want Wilson with
peace, plenty and prosperity for
another four years.
In our last issue, printed the
morning: after the election, we
stated that the latest rVurns in-,
dicated the election of Wilson.
Still later returns removed all
doubt, and now everybody con
cedes his election except Hughes
himself and Chairman Wilcox,
his campaign manager. Fortu
nately nobody is asking them to
concede it nor does anybody care
if they do not.
Judge Hughes can now realize
most painfully the disappoint
ment of defeat, especially a de
feat following so quickly an ap
parent victory. He can also re
alize the force of the old saying,
"Hold fast to that which you
have," because he resigned one
of the most honorable and distin
guished offices in this country to
make the race for President. No
doubt he wishes now that he had
remained a Justice of the Su
preme Court.
Wilson has the proud satisfac
tion of having received more
votes of the people than any oth
er Presidential candidate ever
did receive, and that he carried
states all over the JJnion, from
New Hampshire to California,
and not from any one section only.
And many of those states had
never before given a majority to
any Democratic candidate.
Convicts cannot be lawfully
whipped in this state by their
guards. This was decided last
week by our supreme court in a
case that was appealed to that
tribunal by a guard who had been
convicted in the superior court
for whipping a convict. This has
been the contention of The Rec
ord all the time, ever since the
constitution prohibited corporal
punishment. It seemed a trav
esty on justice and common sense
that a man, who was convicted
of a slight misdemeanor and sen
tenced to the roads for thirty
davs, could be whipped for breach
of some prison rule, whereas a
notorious thief could not be sen
tenced to be whipped.
The election of Governor Bick
ett was, of course, expected by
every intelligent man, but his
majority is somewhat larger
than was generally predicted and
is due largely to his splendid can
vass and pleasing personality.
His speeches were models and
were so free from any abuse and
so full of argument that his com
petitor (Linney) sent him a tele
gram of congratulations, and say
ing that his canvass was so clean
and dignified.
The election of Mr. Bickett
should be an inspiration to all
our worthy boys to emulate his
example. Without any special
advantages in early life, strug
gling for a livelihood as a school
teacher while studying law, he
was the "architect of his own
fortune" and by his personal
habits and efforts has -arisen to
the highest position in this state.
In the next House of Repre
sentatives neither the Republi
cans nor the Democrats may
have a majority. The present
indications are that the five In
dependents, who were elected,
hold the balance of power. This
may prove a blessing in disguise
to the Democratic party, because
without a majority in both branch
es of Congress that party cannot
be held reLponsible if no fur
ther legislation is enacted for the
benefit oi the country at large,
and, of course, the Republicans
cannot repeal any acts of the
present or last Congress because
the Democrats will have a ma
jority in thesiext Senate besides
having Wilson to veto any obnox
ious act.
The fact that a woman is elect
ed from Montana to the House
-will be an innovation in thathody
that may be of much interest
and she may be the forerunner of
many other women Representative!.
The re-election of President
Wilson was not only highly com
plimentary to him but was also
very creditable to the sound com
mon sense of the fairminded vo
ters of the United States. That
he richly deserved a re-election
is attested by the vote given him.
Not only was he voted for by his
own party but by thousands of
the Republican party, especially
by the Republican farmers of the
Western states without whose
votes be would have been de
feated. While so many thous
and Republicans in the West
voted for him it is passing
strange, and base ingratitude,
that the Republican farmers of
the South did not in like manner
express their appreciation of his
services. If any one class of
men, more than another, should
have voted for Wilson they are
the farmers of the South, Repub
lican as well as Democratic.
Since he was elected without
their votes we do not regret that
the great states of New York,
Pennsylvania and Illinois voted
against him. and that he owes
his election to the farmers of the
West. It had been said all dur
ing the campaign that the "big
interests" and Wall street were
opposed to Wilson and were
spending money freely in their
efforts to defeat him, and now
the result proves it to be true.
It must be rather humbling to
the pride of the men who con
trol the money centres that they
were defeated by the farmers of
the West and South. And now,
that the West and South togeth
er elected Wilson and together
defeated the money lords of Wall
street, let them continue to vote
together hereafter and make a
common cause in all future elec
tions. The death of Hon. Cyrus B.
f-Watson last Saturday at his home
in Winston-Salem removes one of
North Carolina's most distin
guished and patriotic sons, who
had rendered this state much
service both in war and peace.
He was one of the bravest sol
diers in the Confederate army
and was one who carried a mus
ket throughout the war. Re
turning from the war a youth
without any means he became
one of the mist successful and
prominent lawyers in this state,
and in 1396 he was the Demo
cratic nominee for Governor. In
1903 he was a candidate with
Overman,, Craig and Carr for
the nomination for the United
States Senate, and for three
weeks the Democratic members
of the legislature balloted night
after night before making the
nomin ation of Senator Overman
by a small majority oyer Watson.
President Wilson has much
cause to be proud of the fact that
he ran ahead of the Democratic
ticket very generally, and this
was due to his personal popular
ity and was an expression of the
appreciation in which he is held
by Republicans as well as by
Democrats. He carried severaj
Republican states, in which the
other Democratic candidates were
defeated. For instance, he car
ried the rock-ribbed Republican
state of Kansas by nearly thirty
thousand majority but the Dem
ocratic candidate for Governor
was defeated by a much larger
majority. This was a magnifi
cent tribute to his personality.
The proposed amendments to
our state constitution were all
four adopted at the election last
week, although the vote on them !
i 1 - i. xtLt 3 i!
was quite n grit. lNououy seeineu
to take much interest in them,
and the Republicans generally
opposed them, although their can
didate for Governor had publish
ed a letter in favor of them.

orphans and were treated like a

Ten of the twelve states, in
which women vote, gave a ma
jority for Wilson, but the larg
est woman suffrage state (Illi
nois) gave a majority against
him. So it is uncertain whether
the women were mostly for him
or for Hughes.
The election last week was
very close in several states. For
instance. Wilson carried New
Hampshire by only 63 votes, and
Hughes carried Minnesota by
360 in a total vote of nearly 400,
000 Such close elections, or
small majorities, show thf im
portance of every man voting
and that a few votes may con
trol the voto of an -entire state.

Tonoline Is Beauty Aid
Announces Specialist
Mildred LouiseTalk of Interest to Women
As health is a first aid to beauty th's
story, told by Mildred Louise, beauty
specialist, of Boston, Mass., is of un
usual interest.
"I can recommend no better health
giver than tonoline,' ' said Mildred
Louise.
I was for many months a victim of
stomach trouble and nervousness. I
had suffered terribly from pains that
followed eating. Headaches also would
add to my worries. Pjor digestion
finally brought on nervousness.
"Relief came, however, when I took
the advice of several women who said,
'Take tonoline.'
"Not long after I started the tono
line treatment, my patrons began to
remind me of the improvement in my
condition. And because health is the
quickest way to beauty, the improve
ment was particularly noticeable iu
my race.
"What tonoline really did for me I
cannot say. I am so grateful that I
am very willing to recommend tono
line publiclv."
Tonoline is a purely vegetable pre
paration which goes to the seat of com
mon maladies stomach and kidney
trouble, catarrhal affections of the mu
cous membranes, liver ailments and
impurities of the blood and quickly
restores proper action. Tonoline is
being' explained daily to many people
at your druggist.
Notice: As tonoline is a wonderful
flesh builder it should not be taken by
anyone not wisning to increase his
weight ten pounds or more. Although
manv reports are received from those
who have benefited by tonoline in se
vere cases of stomach trouble and ner
vous dyspepsia, chronic constipation,
etc.
