All of ' them agree that for the first time in . years there is light ahead - and the prediction is made all over. Washing ton today that by this time next year the Roosevelt administration will . have been. voted put of power. In the lob-, bies of th hotels and on street corners Democratic members and politicians . met to talk over the situation Sena tor Gorman of Maryland was in town bright and early. He was warmly --- congratulated over the great personal victory he won. When the immense impetus to his -presidential boom the npmofiratiR victory ffives. him was "mentioned the Senator smilingly de rlinfd to discuss the matter. He is getting ready to lead the senate min orily to legislative victories this win ter. His friends say the presidential nomination will take care of itself. ' "Rflnnhliftan members and the Re- publican press say the elections yes terday had no national significance If they had carried Maryland, New - York, Kentucky and Rhode Island, however, they might have been williDg to admit that there was some nationa significance. As' it is' the Democrats are more than satisfied. They carried Atrerv dnnht.fiil tafce. and cut down the Republican majority in Massachusetts. Towa and Ohio were conceded . With circus tent "and the Kansas City, plat form Tom Johnson did better in Ohio than might have been expected. The circus tent was too much like Koose velt, and the platform too much like Bryan for the voters. Democrats who returned from New York this morning quote leader Mur: phy and other Tammany Hill politi cians as saying that New York city will go against Roosevelt next year by. one . hundred and thirty thousand and up wards. JPormer Secretary of the Treas ury John G. Carlisle says the Demo cratic presidential nominee will cer tainly receive the electorial vote of New York and surrounding doubtful states. "We have got out of the losing habit. We will do something now," was the way one prominent Democrat express ed it tonight. V Th? onlv thing the President had to tti v thf 1 -.t i t l vu Unit, tirt M'tiC I ik "ratifiefl" at the iSsjlnid majority in Ohu.'' A(vonlinvr u a "Veiort cir culated her touight the President is not as "gratified' as he states. His peatonality was thrust into the cam paign in nearly all the states, especial ly Maryland and New York city. Hav ing been defeated, he is receiving a large share of the blame. The president sought to manifest sat- isfaction. The following statement, typewritten, was issued from the White House to representatives of the Dress: The president is pleased at the gen eral result of the elections. He is of coarse disappoiu ted at the outcome in Grjater New York and Maryland, though' satisfied that even in those places the results show an improvement o4r four years aso. and in New York otpr last year." hile the president was endeavoring tofciakfe it appear that Le was satisfied wi jh the election, Republican leaders wele "expressing the opinion that the result ye8ierday.had no effect on the presidential election. Two such were Sereno E. Payne t)tTfeir York, and John Dalzel of Pennsyl vania,both Republican leaders in thefiouse. They could find nothing to enthuse oyer.' . Hanna for president Is the cry heard to day in many quarters. The almost unpre cedented victory, for an off year, gained by the Ohio Senator has put new life into that element of the Republican party which hopes for Roosevelt's undoing. Out in Cleveland there was a redivivus of the Han na boom today, and-telegrams that came here announcing the fact' was the occasion of concern in administration circles. Talk of opposition to Roosevelts re-nomination is more prevalent to night than it has been at any time. What it will amount to no one knows. It seems almost impossible to defeat him ia the convention, bat stranger things have happened. The lily whites may get a chance to laugh. Mr. .Roosevelt, according to inside iufor. mation, will ask Mr, Hanna, upon his arri val In this city next week,: to continue as national chairman and make the fight for bis election next year. At one time the Rough Rider wanted to" displace the Ohio an, butjresterday's results has given him a new insight into political conditions. Per : hffps Mr. Hanna will refuse to serve for the reason that he does not believe that B,ose ve can win, and because he does not;wi8h ta identify himself with a losing fight in his successful record In the presidentialjson - tests. This view is frequently expressed. . Generally speaking the republicans poin ted with pride to the result in Ohio.. Many Democrats joined with them. In fact it is generally understood that Democrats help ed roll up the big majority againstVohuson. They wished to get him out of the way, and they have about accomplished their purpose One of the results of the election, so far as "Democrats are concerned, is that the party has no hope in the west. v : r : f In Ohio, where Mr. Bryan and his prin ciples were a factor, the party was routed. The Democrats made their best stand in -he east, where there was no mention of the IgaHSas City platform, ere the bat tle ground will be next year,, in the opin'- ion of party leaders. . '-, "The Democratic victories of . yesterday mean something,", was the comment ol Senator Morgan on the result of the elec tions. "It will tend to eucourage Demo crats everywhere, and make thciti very hopeful of success in the presidential elec- tio.i." J'lr -;-v ; "vn ' .: 'f' "Naturally," 'continued the Senator, we of the south kept our eyes largely fixed on Maryland on account of the race issue. 1 am not at all surprised at the result in the state. On such an issue a Republican vic tory was not to be expected for an instant. The negro is no more popular in the north than in the south, and if I had my way this plank would o into the next t Democratic national platform: J' 'The Democratic party is and" has al ways been a white man's part.' Oirit we ran Rwppn t.he nnnntrv. The nCCTO was never intended to exert an influence in our ETWfirnmfint. T no not believe that the framers of the constitution intended it. In the preamble of the constitution the words niirselwps and nnr nrosneritv are used. At w . , f r f that time there were many negro slaves and rndiana in the United States. ! have no idea that the framers Intended to giye them and their prostcrity a part in our political system," : LATE ELECTION RET New York, Nov. 4. George 13. Mc Clellan, Democrat, will be the next mayor of Greater New York, having defeated Mayor Seth Low for re-election by a plurality of 63,617 complete im oflicial returns having been received from every election district in the city. By the same return's Comptroll er Ed ward M. Grout and Charles V. Fornes, president of the Board of Aldermen, running for re-election, on the Demo cratic ticket, though elected two yearB ago as fusionists, defeated their fusion oponents 66,790 and 65,973 plurality respectively, Comptroller Grout lead- iug the city ticket. This sweeping Democratic victory was accomplished for the. Democratic city and borough tickets in four of the five boroughs of the municipality, only Richmond borough (Staten Island) giv ing Low a plurality and electing fusion borough for four years. , J Edward Swanstrcun (Fusion) who, thought -.lu-j. night,- .'night be eleott'd suit-in of Bnmklx u lMir:mrh, i was defeated ly Mui tin V. Littleton, the Denicctatii candidate, by 2,l2v plurality, in spite of Litleotns attitude in opposition to the Democratic city ticket. ''. n McClel lan ?s total vote for mayor was 314,908 to 251,289 for Low. William S. Devery, Independent can didate for mayor,, polled only 2,935 votes in the entire cit. Warfield's Majority in Maryland. Baltimore, Nov. 5. Practically com plete returns show a plurality of.12,- 37akfor Edwin Warfield, the Democrat ic candidate for governor. The Dem ocrats will have two thirds majority in each branch of the next -legislature and a majority of 79 on joint ballot. 1 Democrats Gain in Iowa. ' Des Moines, Iowa, Noy.4 .Unofficial estimates place Cummins' plurality over J .B.Sullivan (Dem.) for governor. at 55.000. Governor Cummins run some what ahead of the remainder of his ticket. The Democrats will have 23 of the 100 members of the next house, a gain of 6 and 8 of the 50 members of the sen ate, a loss of 2. Beckham's Big Majority, Louisville, Ky., Nov. 4. Returns which are complete save for a few scat tered precincts in remote parts of the statevgive Governor Beckham (Dem.) for governor a majority of 30,508, over Morris B. Belknap, (Rep ) his opponent in yesterday 'sballoting. The assertion seems warranted that the governor's final and official majority will not be less than 25,000. " This is the largestjmajority ever giv en a Democratic gubernatorial candi date in fifty years', " Returns from mountain counties, comprising the ' eleventh" district give Belnap a majority of 12,000 with two precints to hear frdm. This indicates a falling off in the Republican' vote. The Socialist and Lobor parties , had full tickets irrthe field, but their vote was so small that it was discarded in the counting. . .; . ...

For more t$an lSyears - there has exH isted in North Carolina a very serious disease of cabbage and other crops of the cabbage: family. The annual damage in this State from this disease is probably more thn $ tb000. Besides cabbage ppoa whiclil - mist frequently operates this disease attacks turnips kale, cauliflower; mustard, rape and infact all crops and. weeds-of the pibbage tribe. - 1 The disease in cabbage is characterized by the outermost leaves of the . plant near the edges, turning first the yellow, then brown and finally black. The ; disease anronrta dAwntvnrd into the main Stem and r. -. through this into the inner leaves .of w head.

The dis ease is alwavs most virulent in hot, moist weather.- CAUSE Of" TltE DIEiSB. Black rot of the cabbage and other nlants of the same family, is caused by a germ or microbe, BiciLUJs cAMPESTBisi s This germ lives f roni year to kear in 1 1 the soil, attacking with increasing virulence successive crops of the cabbage kind, until at length it becomes practically .impossible to grow these crops except upon fresh of soil. The germ increases rapidly virgin only during the wi Utr mouths of the year, or while tlie temperature is above 80 degrees tbfatmextJ The treatment for Black rot must be pleventative. Spraying isr of uo value in this case." Rotation of crops so that no crop of the cabbage family shai come upQnihesame'fleld oftener than once in three or fodr years is the first and mo essential precaution. The seed bed should be aiadei upon; fresh-ground - eaeh year, or the bed should be burned over as is doe for tobacco bed, to kill possible germs it the soil.; Cabbage, turnips and all other crops of this ffmilv should be grown only duriner the !cqoler mo..ths. or while the temperature H above 80 degrees F.
