GA1ETY OF THE CAMPAIGN.
How Managers Statements Make .
Good Thing Ridiculous.
Chlcago RECORD Herald.

Chicago Record-Herald.
Now that election has come and gone,
perhaps the citizen of, average intelligence
could spend a diverting few minutes pom
dering the utter nonsense of signed state
ments issued by party managers at the
close of a campaign.
OF course, the statements from the win
ming side may be pointed to as in some de-
gree bearing out the sagacity of the VIC
torious managers; but a bit OF reflection
will convince any man with wits intact
that the demonstration would have been
practically the same-the outcome stated
Just as positively-had the actual result
been reversed. National. state and county
managers OF both parties invariably give
figures Of victory, with a growing tendency
to exaggeration. Narrow partisans delight
TO see the statements Of their managing
Keniuses-the more roseate the better
but well-informed persons know none OF
the statements Is worth the paper on which
II Is written. The figures given for publ
cation are seldom the confidential opinion
OF the man who knows.
why wouldn't a sentlemen's agreement
to abolish the managers sighed statement
in future campaigns be a saiutary thing?
II would lessen the incentive to deliberate
prevarication in almost every instance ex-
aetly 50 per cent. and therefore act as a
great moral agene3

Elmer E. Thomas shows his caliber
by writing an apology to Governor
Sheldon, explaining that he did not
know what he was talking about when
he made his vicious and mendacious
attack on the governor. II Mr..
Thomas were the earnest champion Of
the cause of morality he processes to
be he would have taken steps to ascer-
tain the truth before sending out the
circular. 1t was a deliberate stab in
the back and as such will always stand
against Thomas record.

THE BEE IN THE CAMPAIGN.

The course Of the local republican organ
was another factor in democratic success.
The Bee converted itself into a sewer early
in the campaign and its output was pollu-
ton. 1t made such a campaign Of mem
dacity and abuse as Douglas county had
never seen before. Its scurrillous attacks on
Mr.. Bryan from day to day we're a part of
the same policy. And all this offended re-
publicans. 1t pays to be decent. The Bee
may learn 1t some day.
The above from the World-Herald
Is about on par with the general course
of that paper. If The Bee has any re-
greet in connection with its course dur
ing the late campaign it is that the
fight was not made more vigorous.
Instead of throwing mud and resort
ing to tactics alleged against it, The
Bee carefully refrained from any mud
throwing. Several times during the
campaign 1t was forced to speak plainly
in order to warn the citizens what the
election of the local democratic ticket
meant. At those times The Bee spoke
the truth and has no apology to make
for so doing, but The Bee withheld far
more than it printed because 1t did not
care to engage in mud-slinging, and
it did believe that the people would
reject the candidates offered by the
democratic party without the necessity
of exposing all the unsavory mess that
lay behind them.

LESSONS OF THE ELECTION.
Result Spells Confidence and Business
Revival,
Chicago Record-Herald

Chicago Record-Herald.
Prosperity and a revival of business are
spelled by the election of Taft. That is
the general view of business men, as ex-
pressed last right after the result of the
election was 10 longer in doubt.
The revival in Industrial and CONNER
cial fields is not to be confined to any par
ticular kind Of business. but will be gem
eral in the belief Of those who are quail
fled to speak. All lines of trade and in
dustry will feel the beneficial effects of
the Taft election. The revival is likely to
begin almost Immediately and will con-
tinue in ever increasing volume during the
next six months or so until the affairs OF
the nation in a business way are once
more normal.
Railroad men and bankers, manufacture
ers and merchants, stock brokers ard
board of trade men all join in declaring
that the transformation OF former Judge
Taft into President-elect Taft means the
end of depression. One of the immediate
effects Of the election will be the carrying
through of many deals, and many of them
for large sums, which were awaiting the
success of the republican nominee. 1t is
stated that millions of dollars are repre-
sented in business transactions which were
dependent on Taft's election. All this
volume of pushes will now be electrified
life.

VAS NOSES A DEMoCRATi

n ACAn1@
Colin M. Selph, a democratic candi-
date for congress from a st. Louis dis
trict, has raised a question which may
as we'll be taken up and settled before
the next campaign, lest 1t may become
a paramount issue. Selph is a word
painter from away back, and in one
of his ~oratorical flights, in a talk be-
fore a Jewish club. he declared that
Solomon, David and Moses were all
democrats, laying particular stress on
Moses loyalty to the party of Jefferson,
Jackson, Cleveland, Bryan and Dahl
man. Selph offered in support of his
argument that Moses fought and stood
for the principles for which the demo
Gratis are fighting today and he chal-
lenged anyone to prove the contrary.
The question is one that may be dis
cussed without partisan bias at this
time and it is perhaps worth while to
examine into some of the issues in
the campaigns recalled by Mr.. Selph,
1t is a matter of record that Moses did
not get into the promised land, IN
which respect his record is very like
that of the Bryan democracy. Moses
was also opposed to his followers wor-

stroyed their platform in that respect

Mr.. Taft is not only the best of the sew

training. and especially In familiarity with

that the country now possesses.
Therefore, the congratulations that are
due to Mr., Taft today are a mere incident
in the result of yesterdays election. The
