him during the campaign intimated in

the President might overlook the fact
that he had made such a promise and
consent to run again. The President
said that he had purposeIy made the
promise as strong and unequivocal as the
English language would allow, so that in
the future no criticism could be made Of
his actions on the ground that he was
"playing" for favor in order to seize
the prize for the third time.

English Papers on the Result

London, Nov. 9.--The sweeping
victory of President Roosevelt and the
republican party 10 America yesterday
is the subject of editorialsin the evening
papers, which are most complimentary
to the President. The Globe says
''There can be no question that Presi-
dent Roosevelt has succeeded. He has
won by popularity inspired by high
degree of confidence felt not only by his
own countrymen, but among the nations
of the world. Judge Parker's creed.
lacked emphasis, and definition"
The Westminster Gazette thinks Judge,
Parkers attacks on the President in con-
nection with the attitude OF the republi-
cans toward the trusts increased the
judges popularity, but that this increase
was not suficientto throw of the "com-
promising association of TammaDy and
the Bryanites, which have been 50 dis
astrons TO the democratic party.
The St. James Gazette says one big man at
time is as much as America can hold. Judge
Parker, IL says, was the victim of a personaii-
ty end it was this stronger personality when
defeated him rather chan the cause the Judge
upheld.
The Pail Mall Gazette sees IN the election
of President Roosevelt poSerful advantage
TO the world at large. The paper says: Prcsi-
dent Rooseyelts election is a pledge that
America will play part in the sol luton Of
International questions. upon the side which
makes for justice, and the development and
progress Of the human race.
Some of the conservative journals also point
N tbe American approval oftarif policy and
imperialism and urges the British nation to-
do likewise.

strange throughout the campaign just

democrats who accepted defeat before it

democrats who heretofore would never
believe, much less admit, that they bad

es but in &C


..o from the beginning,
democratic party went down to de-
feat again yesterday, the republican
victory being due to the tremendous
power of the administration exerted TO
the limit to elect Mr.. Roosevelt. the
lavish use of money to debauch voters
and to the lethargy of thousands Of men
who reasoned that ''it is better to make
no change while the country is prosper
Gus" and "better to bear thei ills we have
than to fly to others we know not of. :"
Such people are the most dangerous class
in any community. They worship the
golden calf and lest they might lose a
dollar BY a change, humbly submit to
having their rights abridged and quietly
stand back and let the principles for
which their forefathers fought and died
10 tfampled under foot by party which
is fast marching toward an autocracy.
The strong designing men, the men on
horseback, fully understand such people
aud encourage them in their lethargy
aud in their love for gold and ease,
knowing that with such "lhe jingle of
the guinea helps the hurt that honor
feels, and bold leaders entirely elimi-
nate all such when they consider who
will resis. should q daring attempt be
made toward a new departure. If such
a 49, 1ad been Ia The majority in this

secession of States-tbey would have
submitted qnietly to having their rights
marred and their liberties abridged.
But no; they were men, and were will
ing to sacrifice their all for principle
and though the reyOlutionists won and
the secessionists lost, they both now &C.
cupy the same proud place in history.
But times have changed; the spirit oil
commercialisnr pcrvades the land; men
now barter honor and principle for
money or place and the man on horseback

land to hasling ills a prey where
wealth accumulates and men decay"

A REPUBLICAN VICTORY.

Theodore Roosevelt was yesterday
elected president and Charles Warren
Fairbanks vice president By the greatest
republican majority in the history of the
country. They have 1926 electoral votes,
including Maryland and Colorado, New
York, New Jersey. Connecticut, Massa-
chusetts, Indiana, Wisconsin and every
eastern and western State leaving Par
ker but the solid South.
Frank w. Higgins, republican is
elected governor OF New York by 80, OOO
plurality, greater than was expected by
his most sanguine friends. William l..
Douglas, democrat, was elected governor
of Massachusetts, by about q. 600 plural
ity.
The Fifty-ninth Congress will be re-
publican by greater majority than the
last Congress, he republicans have
made gains in number of States, and 1t
is estimated that the majority III the
House will be increased.
At 8 o'clock last night the democratic
national committee conceded to Roose-
welt every State they had previously con-
sidered doubtful, and half an hour later
President Roosevelt received at the
White House message of congratulation
from Judge Parker to which he replied,
expressing his thanks.
The indications are that the republi-
cans will have majority Of at least 40
in the next House and % in the Senate.
In the present House the republicans
have a plurality of "a and in the new
Senate majority Of %. The sweep
which carried Roosevelt and Fairbanks
to victory, therefore, made its influence
felt in the lower house.
Judge Parker's chief support came
from those democrats who before his
his nomination declared he could not be
elected. Some influences which sought
his nomination contributed 10 his defeat
with both money and votes. The Bel
monts aud their friends we're conspicu-
Gus exceptions in the loyalty with which
they bore the burdens which they had a
right 10 expect others would help them
TO BEAR
Two noteworthy results in Indiana
are the re election of Edward d. Crum-
packer, rep, in the Tenth district, and
Jesse Oyerstreet, rep, in the Seventh
district. Mr.. Crumpacker is the author
of the resolution that has bobbed up
from time to time in the House of Rep
resentatiyes providing for the reduction
of representation in the House from
those southern States which have limited
negro suffrage. During the campaign
just closed Mr.. Crumpacker repeatedly
stated that in the event of the republic
can administration retaining authority,
measures would be taken at the next
session of Congress to punish" the
South for its legislation aimed to
regulate the negro in politics. So it
may be expected that this question will
come up in some form before the new
Congress goes out of existence.
