Carried all the Socaed Doubtful States and Elected by Maores
Nearly Equal to Those of Roosevelt Four Years Ago.
Taft
GreatLa deandth
BurieB Beneath the Debris.

1t was indeed famous victory. The
predicted Landslide" materlaized but
it was the democratic party that was
probably the last time Bryan has met
with overw helmIng defeat.
The announcement that the Charles
Drug Go had made arrangements to
get tie complete returns and have
them thrown on a screen by a stereopti
con lantern, brought large crowd out
on Ell, ction night. The streels we're
thr orged until late at night and the re-
suit of the vote from all parts of the ma
tion which were thrown Oh the screen
which covered the whole front of the
Dr. Maynard building could be plainly
seen the whole length of the street 1t
was decided innovation in the way of
election returns, which was appreciated
by the citizens of Paw Paw, aud the
Charles Drug Co. is to be commended
for it's enterprise.
According to the latest returns Taft
is sure to receive 800 electoral votes with
d strong probability of having the state
of Missouri added to his string, which
will increase his vote to 327, which is
but nine less than Roo5evelt's phenome-
nal vote in 1904. Nearly all of the So
called doubtful states are lined up in
the republican column. IN view of
these figures the wild predictions made
by democratic National Chairman Mack
and taken up by the democratic press
seem absolutely ridiculous.
Michigan, which was one of the few
states that the democrats did not have
the assurance to claim at some time dur
ing the campaign, is found, as usual, in
the republican ranks with majority OF

10000 for Taft, Sherman and prosper
ity. Congress remains strongly repub-
lican IN both branches so that Lnere will
pledges of reform made by the party in
its national platform.
Notwithstanding the strenuous cam
pagn put up by Mr.. Hemans and his
backers campaign of slander, misrep-
resentation and falsehood, such as never
before disgraced the name and fame of
our state, Governor Warner seems at
this writing to have been re elected by a
safe plurality of 5000 to 10000 votes.
The legislature of the state is over
whelmingly republican, the new consti-
tuition is doubtless adopted by a large
majority, so that we may reasonably ex-
pect legislation next winter that Will
greatly advance the welfare and pros
perity OF the people.
Van Buren county, as was expected,
gave the republics natioha ticket a
large majority, upwards of 2,2OO, and
elected the eutlre republican county
ticket A desperate fight was made
against Governor Warner, especially in
the city OF South Haven, for reasons
that are obvious, but which need not be
mentioned here, but notwithstanding
such opposition, the governor C rried
the county by nearly 400 votes. Taken
all in all, republicans cannot be blamed
if they feel some hat hilarious over
their great victory.
There has been no more important
election than this since the days of re.
construction. IG the minds Of thinkin 9
men it is fortunate that the country has
escaped the consequences of the wild
vagares of the three times Candidate
The true northerner. [volume] (Paw Paw, Mich.) 1855-1920, 1908-11-06

who has just been buried for the third
time, under an avalanche OF votes cast
against him by his fellow citizens.
That Mr.. Bryan is brilliant man and
great orator, none will deny, but that
he Is great statesman, a majority of
the people do not believe.
Free silverism, sixteen to one, the
Legitimate successor of fiatism, which
was once Mr.. Bryan's favorite battle
cry, is SO dead that it is being rapidly
forgotten. Government ownership Of
railroads, which leaked so attractive to
Mr.. Bryan when he returned from his
foreign travels, was repudlated al the
outset, even by his most ardent admirers.
Bank guarauteeism Is already being
discredited where it has been adopted
and proving itself to be but cover un-
der which wild cat banks, managed by
inexperienced or dishonest bankers, may
be organized ad hbitum at the expense
of the people who, in the final analysis,
foot all the oils. Like its predecessors,
this new ism appeared captivating to
many people on It's first appearance, but
it wall, without doubt, follow IN the
wake of Mr.. Bryan's previous vagaries
and soon be buried and forgotten. Vale
Bryan, exit Bryanism.
Now that the battle is won, and it is
settled that the Roosevelt policies under
which the county, notwithstanding the
panicky times of year ago, has pro-
gressed and prospered as it never did be-
normal basis and the nation euter upon
a new and still more prosperous era. At.
tacks upon the presidei and his poll
cies proved to be boomerang and only
injured the party that made them.
