Vice-President Harrill of Charlotte, who is here for the closing days of the campaign, naturally is elated over its success. Practically every bit of advertising was done through the Record, and the result shows also that the daily reaches the people. Part of the time the campaign wa3 on, the fair was in progress, bad weather intervened for a couple of days, and practically all of the time politics was at white heat. In view of these things, the officials of the company feel that the campaign was a remarkable success. WILSON P.HFFRFI) MR. SHUFQRD IS AVIATOR BY (Bjr Associated Press) New York, Nov. 2. President Wil son arrived here this morning from j his campaign up-state. He was taken by automobile to the govern ment yacht Mayflower for a confer ence. When the president reached the Grand Central station to spend his only clay of campaigning in New York city, he was cheered by a large group of railroad men, some of them carrying American flags. Jle was met at the station by Col. E. M. House and Chairman McCor mick. They took an automobile for the Mayflower, where a conference was held. While the president was in confer ence Mrs. Wilson and other mem bers of the party went on a sight-seeing and shopping tour.

Y (By Associated Press.) New York, Nov. 2. Official lists oi candidates of recoenized Darties for the congressional and state elections coincident with the presidential vot- ing on November 7 show that there will be at least two women running for congress and more than two score ... ... . . v - women in the contest for state officers, ranging from governor down. In Montana Jeannette Ranking is the regular Republican nominee for congress and in Colorado K. Howard is running on a Progressive ticket. The Associated Press has just com- piled all of the state tickets from ev ery state in the union and it appears from these lsits that there are exately 46 women candidates for various state offices. This figure may bes lightly reduced or increased by the fact that some names which almost cercainly seem to be those of women are in rare cases also names of men, and it is possible that some women have escap ed identification by the use of initials instead of their full name, but the figures given, if not precise are in- teresting, since they develop the fol- lowing facts: Idaho is the only state m the Unit- ed States where a women is candi- date for governor, Annie E. Triploy, being the Socialist nominee for chief executive there. Of ip 4fi women seekine- state of- fices the majority (24) are nominees of the Socialist party. There are thirteen other states throughout the country where women are seeking state offices, namely, Ar lzona, Colorado, Connecticut, Monta na, Nevada, New Mexico, Rhode Is land. South Dakota, Utah, Washing ton, Illinois, and Kansas. In Washington there are two wom en candidates.

During the Wl.r Between the States the people of South Carolina, until the arrival of Sherman, had ai abundance to eat of everything except salt, coffee, sugar and tea. Those war times were times of plenty, so far as food was concerned, except in .i:--:.- u k tile troops. Moreover, the people were able in those times to shoe and clothe themselves comfortably. Neith er war prices nor boll weevils will hurt the Southern farmer who is thrifty and intelligent. I To Whom It May Concern: While.it is not my custom to talk for publication, I feel it my duty to make a brief statement touching mat ters political. As a manufacturer, I have given expression to the opinion that the present national administration has shown itself unduly partial to that worthy portion of our citizens usually spoken of as the ''labor element." This criticism on my part seems to have created the impression in cer tain quarters that I have "seen a new light," and that my political faith has undergone a change; where as, it is merely evidence of th fact that a Democrat always exercises the right of sitting in judgment on the conduct of his party. " The unprejudiced man ought ti be able to see that, while much legisla tion has been enacted for the en couragement of labor and the bet terment of its conditions, there has been perhaps more for the substantial benefit of the manufacturers and farmers. WThen I consider how bus iness has been set free and how new life and hope have been vouchsafed to our rural communities, I am forc ed to the conclusion that the aim of the present administration has been to provide for the protection, help, and encouragement of all classes, and that its record is one of creditable achievement. It has never been in my heart to desert the Democratic party and, in this election, as heretofore, I am giving my hearty support to the "straight Democratic ticket, from top to bottom." A. A.

GERMANS (By Associated Press.) Fort Vaux, one of the most impor tant fortified positions captured by the Germans in their dtive for Vr dun has besn evacuated by them. TV 3 announcement was made officially in Berlin. The Germans have evacuated Fort Vaux, says their official report, without detaction by the French, who continued to pour a heavy f-e from their big guns on the fort after it had been abandoned, Berlin says. Virtually all the ground of pro nounced value taken by the Germans on the east bank of the Meuse du ring their winter offensive at Verdnn has now with the fall of Fort Vavx been lost to them. French troops operating in the Les Bouefs and Rancourt sectors on t'- Somme front also gained ground yes terday in attacks on the Germi lines.
