OMAHA, Neb., Nov, ACCOMMODATING on
he election returns of New York and Ohio,
the World Herald to-day says editorially:
1T is the opinion of this newspaper that
the result in Ohio and New York marks the
turning point in the career of Theodore
Roosevelt.
.Unless Mr.. Roosevelt by some movement
the audacity and unexpectedness OF which
will upset the whole country, can retrieve
his fortunes in Napoleonic manner, Tues
day last will be known i'll history as the
day that saw the tide begin TO ebb from
Theodore Roosevelt.
1T is not easy to conceive how any public
man could suffer more calamitous blow
In an election in which he did not appear
as a candidate than did Mr.. Roosevelt on
Tuesday. New York decided in favor Of
Tammany rather than Roosevelt. Odell
and Low.
In Ohio, Roosevelt's enemy, Hanna,
won a victory the like Of which is almost
unique in American politics.
Hanna is again Boss of the Republican
party. Roosevelt is a discredited leader.
He is emphatically repudiated in an cleo
ton which, though involving many votes,
was mere local election just the same.
"9efore the end of tn, week, unless Mr..
Roosevelt's strenuousness shall stand him
In stead, the stampede to rally about the
banner Of the Republican opposition to his
Administration will have begun. 1t was
not for the Republican party, but for Hanna
that the Ohio campaign was fought
