THE PRICE IMPERIALISM

President Roosevelt sent another
special message to congress yester-
day, asking the national legislature
to make provision for four new
battleships instead Of only two.
Although republican, the house
within the last few weeks has not
shown disposition to cary out
some Of the most important recon-
mendations made by Mr.. Roosevelt.
AS far as this battleship pro-
gram is concerned, the Miner is
not disposed to criticise congress to
any extent, because we have today
very efficient navy, and larger
one than we have ever possessed
within our history, when it comes
to gunpowder and tonnage.
There is a possibility that the ex.
ecutive is keeping something away
from the American people, and
that he actually believes that we
are menaced by foe on our west
ern coast.
Capt. Hebson believes this, or
at least he says he does, aud he
has called attention to the fact that,
while in the old days we only
looked for an enemy to come from
the Atlantic side, in these times
we must face both ways.
1t is different to believe that
Japan is acting for a fight, for
that sturdy little nation is almost
bankrupt, and there is no question
that it will take it years to recover
from the successful, but costly,
war with Russia.

Mr.. Editor:

Hughes Majority In New York
State About 10000.

New York, Nov. 5.-The pluralities
of Taft for president and Hughes for
governor in New York state have not
been materially changed by more
complete returns. With eighty out OF
4,669 districts missing, Taft's plurality
has been raised to 199.5s5, an increase
OF about 1900 from the earlier esti-
mate, and with ninety-seven districts
missing and thirty-fve estimated
Hughes plurality for governor has
been reduced to 69,S1a.
Late returns leave no doubt upon
the election of the full Republican

Minis Defeats Ex-congressman Lacey
In Iowa Senatorial Flght-ResuIts
In other Northwestern States.

st. Paul, Nov. 5.-Governor John.
sons plurality over ]. F. Jacobson foi
governor may exceed 10000 when the
returns are all in, while Taft's plural.
ity over Bryan will be more than 100,.
900.
The estimate Of plurality for John.
son is based upon almost complete
returns from the cities and returns
from about two-flfths OF the precincts
outside the Twin Cities. Johnson's
plurality in Minneapolis Is 1851 and
his majority in Ramsey county is
around 5000. Returns from about
1000 of about $500 precincts outside
OF the Twin. Cities give Jacobson 55,-
709 votes and Johnson $1,000. II the
same proportion is carried through the
rest of the country districts Johnson
Will carry the counties outside of
Ramsey and Hennepin by little over
5000. Adding this to the 10000 in
Hennepin and the 5000 in Ramsey
and he will have at least 10000 plu-
rality.
In the congressional contests Nc
Cleary, Rep, in the Second was de-
feated by Hammond. Dem, the pres
ent incumbent, by an even larger plu-
rality than two years ago. The only
other contest of note was in the First
district, where James A. Tawney,
Rep. won out by 1000 votes after the
fight Of his life. The other seven dis
tricts were strongly Republican.
