THE ELECTION.

glorious from Republican view point
Tbp great States of the East, Middle
and far West have voted for Mckinney
and Roosevelt, and the Southern States
have voted for Bryan and Stevenson.
Desnite all the issues put forth as the
matter in dispute. the returns show that
the States divided on the old lines be
tween the North and the South. Inc
Significance of this. we think, is just
here. 1t proves that the people Of thls
country are overwhelmingly in favor Of
the Republican party. Wherever there
was 4 chance for the free aud full Iute
of tile people, Il majority voted for the
Republican candidates, aud wherever the
vote of the people was suppressed. II
free and full vote prevented BY local
statutes, majority OF tile people VINO
voted supported the Democratic cauai-

There can he no mistake about the
significance Of this fact as i relates,
first, 10 the political sentiment Of the
whole people, and second, rs it relates
to the parties. Aside from the economic
questions discussed, and that We're in
yolved i'll the campaign, the result shows
that behind these, ignored and hidden.
was, after all, the paramount issue Of
the election. That issue we take 1t was
Republicanism, rs it stands for freedom
and progress, against Democracy as it
stands, for Il restricted citizenship and
stagnation. Throughout its history the
cardinal principle of the Republican
party has been as we have stated it.
freedom and progress freedom that
includes all men, and progress limited
only by human capacity. In demanding
freedom and equality before the law for
all men the Republican party demands
that the way to the limtleSs beyond
should be opened to mankind, and that
all men should have liberty unrestricted
to Ito all right things for himself am
for the race. The Democratic party has
