No. -4 EDITORIAL BRIEFS Another Wilson tariff af-aiit to anticipate. bill Is not To the Democratic politician Demo nic victory spells pie. Wonder how many Democrats there ar- now who are anxious to be "red- h-i.'i:t-( grasshoppers"? The next Democratic Senatorial coriteHt will probably be between Glenn, Overman, et al. As the campaign pickings are over, th' presumption is that ex-Governor G! nn has returned to preaching. Colonel Roosevelt says he is still in the fight and the Democrats are be ginning to sit up and take notice. s Mr. Wilson seems to have a lit- t,e private platform of his own, it is hard to tell in advance Just what he , proposes to do. The chances a re that the Dpnin. rratif party will have to reform some i of its own members before it can form" the tariff. re- T ip Demoprata Ha m thpv will have a majority in both Houses of t.v next Congress.

Wonder where they would have gone had they been defeated? The predicted Democratic landslide failed to slide. Wrhile WTilson was elected, still he failed to get as many votes as former Democratic candi dates, who were defeated. Some months ago Mr. Bryan was advocating just one term for the President. Before Mr. Wilson's four years have expired the country will probably be with Mr. Bryan on that question. It cost Congressman Gudger near ly half of his first year's salary to get back to Congress. Gudger said he was sure of his re-election, but if he was, he spent a lot of good money "foolishly." The Baltimore Sun says leaving things to the plain common sense of the American people is always the safest plan in the long run. And what a pity that rule was not follow ed this year. Democrats say there will be little legislation passed by Congress this winter. And there will probably be very little for the next two years, as they will never be able to agree on any line of policy. One Democratic paper announces the names of twenty-six Democratic candidates for the post-office at High Point. As the appointment is some time off, there will probably be many ciore in the race before the pie is cut. It will be two years before there ill be a vacancy in the Durham Post-office, but already one Democrat has his advertisement in the daily Papers announcing his candidacy. He is certainly of the early bird variety, whether he gets the worm or not. There are from five to twenty-six Democratic candidates for every Fed eial office in North Carolina, notwith standing that all of them in some eases will have to wait more than years before they can even nib le the pie, and others may have to ait forever. The Democrats have claimed in the past that this country should turn loose the Philippines and allow the Filipinos to govern themselves. If the Democrats, when they come into Power, allow the Filipinos local self government, it will be more than they have ever allowed the people in this country. ELECTION HFrrs BEING PAID. !

Many Democratic Congressmen Want to Tinker With the Tariff Wilson .May Call Extra Session. Democratic Congressmen now ar- riving in Washington are in favor of an extra session of Congress next spring to revise the tariff schedules downward. "The declaration of Oscar W. Un- derwood, Chairman of the Ways and ! Means Committee, has strengthened ! the extra session sentiment, and opin ion is growing in Washington that Congress will be called to meet some time next spring after President-elect Wilson takes up his duties at the White House.

SEES BRAKERS AHEAD. Democrats Did Not Elect Their Pres ident by a Popular Majority. Greensboro Record, (Dem.) Brethren, let's quit talking about J what a sweep the Democrats made inl Tuesday's election. It was a sweep all right the greatest ever but has any one figured up from the returns what it would have been with only Mr. Roosevelt in the ring? Suppose he had been nominated at Chicago in stead of Taft We have not figured it out. but some one has, to a cer tain extent. Take the votes for Taft and for Roosevelt, add them together, State by State, and see the result. And so it is we advise that the party from this good day "walk terrapin," so to say, that is, fulfill its promises; give the country the best kind of ad ministration, so that four years hence there will be something worth point ing to. It was a great victory, but there was a big "if" in it. The point we are trying to make is that such a victory may tend to make the party cock sure to believe it is firmly en trenched and cannot easily be dis lodged. Maude Malone, the suffragette, was found guilty in the Brooklyn, N. Y., Court of Special Sessions Tuesday of disorderly conduct for interrupting a speech by President-elect Wilson in the Brooklyn Academy of Music on October 30. Sentence was suspended. Her counsel announced he would take an appeal. The amendment for State-wide pro hibiten in Colorado was defeated in the recent election in that State.
