INIT AND SHERMAN V|CT0RS
Republican National Ticket Given Handsome Majority
in Electoral College.

William Jennings Bryan Of Ne
braska, the Democratic candidate. went
down in the third defeat of his lifas
ambition to occupy the White House.
Among the more significant results
were the reelection to congress Of
Speaker Cannon ard Chairman Serene
E. Payne Of the house committee on
ways and means; the election of Rep
resentative w. s. Cowherd as gov
ernor Of Missouri. which Herewith re-
turns to the solid SOUTH" and the
reelection for third term of Gov.
John Johnson, democrat, In Min.
nesota.
& One of the results surprising the
most sanguine hopes Of most Repub-
leans was Mr.. Taft's carrying the
greater city of New York by a plural
ity which approached 10000. Further
more, his plurality in New York state
will be approximately 1S9,334, exceed
ing by nearly $4,000 Roosevelt's big
plurality of 1904.
Only second in point of general in
terest was the victory Of Gov. Charles
e. Hughes, who was reelected by
plurality estimated as well above
$4,000 over the vote cast for his
Democratic opponent, Lieut.. Gov.
Chanler. While Greater New York
gave plurality for Taft, it gave Chan
Ter margin of 56,843.
With 81 United States senators to be
elected by legislatures chosen now
or earlier in the. fall. The Repub-
leans will retain their control of both
houses Of congress.
Mr.. Taft carried practically every
so-called doubtful state except Ne
braska, where Mr.. Bryan was victor
ious. Mr.. Bryan carried Nevada and
Montana, In addition to the solid
south, which includes Missouri.
Republican Pluraities Reduced.
Some of the figures relating to the
Republican slump in certain states
regarded as certainly Republican, are
little short of amazing. Pennsyl.
vania's immense plurality Of over 500.
600 four years ago mas been cut in
two. Illinois, which gave Roosevelt
305, 900 in 1904, has gone for Taft by
about 10000. The highest claim of
the Republicans for Indiana is $4,000
az against plurality Of $4,000 for
Roosevelt. a. .1..gss. .

CONTROL HOUSE AND SENATE.
Republicans Have Good Majority In
Both Houses.


Latest election returns indicate that
the house of representatives is still
heavily Republican, with majority on
division of 40. The Republican men,
bership in the Sixty-first congress is
21S while the Democrats show only 173.
The membership of the house is 391,
and the majority necessary for control
is 1856.
Speaker Cannon was reelected by
a majority of from 5000 to 10000. Con-
gressmen Hepburn, Hull, Dalzell.
Payne and other leaders Of national
Importance who had hard fights were
all successful.
The districts on which the Demo
Gratis relied to increase their present
strength have, in most instances. re-
turned Republicans.
Practically no Change In Senate.
The senate will show practically no
change in political complexion, the
Republicans retaining a large major

Ever since the passage Of the pure

them the use Of the small amount Of
preservatives necessary to keep GER
tain kinds of food products from fer

chemistry In the department of agri-
culture has appointed pure food COM
mittee, to represent the different
states having pure food laws. the OBJ

Increase in the number OF college
degrees may not in itself be good
sign. The progressive decrease since
1900 Of the number Of medical diplo.
mas awarded means a great gain in
the quality Of the men intrusted with
the health OF their fellow men. In
1905 over $4,000 men and women re
ceiyed the degree M. d. In 1907 the
number dropped thousand, and this
year the decrease was sixteen hun
dred. During the year several medical
schools not in good repute were
closed. Most of the great medical
colleges require an A. B. degree or its
equivalent for entrance. "Halfbaked"
professional men are no use to the
community, and even when the stan
dards Of the medical schools are high.
there will be plenty Of incompetent
men in the profession.

The Vinita daily chieftain. [volume] (Vinita, Indian Territory [Okla.]) 1902-1913, 1908-10-05
A MODERN CAESAR

In the wild tempest Of political struggle
Il is sometimes difficult to trace the truth
or number the slain, but easily the great
est figure in the present battle is W. J..
Bryan. Whether he becomes president
Of this great Republic or goes down again
in defeat. he will stll remain the most
eminent statesman Of this generation.
From out Of the chaos and clash Of con-
tending forces there rises in the very
center Of the storm the Caesar Of modern
history. who with the calm demeanor Of
q prophet, and the quiet persuasive voice
Of a mentor, says. Peace be still The
work Of Bryan can no more perish from
the earth than that Of Julius Caesar. who
although assassinated yet nodded and
really created the elements that have
become modern Europe and in fact
modern civilization. This Repeblic could
not be what II is without Washington and
jefferson and Lincoln, and il couldn't be
the splendid government we shall know
in the future without Bryan Few Of the
great constructive statesmen of our
country have reached the chair Of the
chief executive Clay, Calhoon, Webster,
Benton and Blaine have been thrust
aside to make way for smaller men but
their work abides. The Rough Rider in
the White House seems like a pigmy and
and O dwarf in point Of real greatness.
Roosevelt rides the country like it was an
unbroken broncho. and guides il toward
his selfish goal with relentless hand.
breathless and strenuous amid the threat
ened wreck Of his country Bryan, on
the other hand turns into the track Of
civilization all the institutions that make
for peace and national prosperity and
greatness. His is no new political phyl-
osophy but the reincarnation and rehabi-
tation of the sermon on the Mount the
