GUESSING AT RESULTS IN 1912

Now that the results of the Novem-
Der elections are known it is in order
for the political prognosticators to
forecast the results in 1912 and make
the usual cock-sure predictions about
which of the great parties is going to
win. Much is being made about Pres
ident Taft's reference to the posi-
bility of republican defeat in 1912, but
whatever weight might have been
given to that utterance is discounted
by the actual results of the November
elections
Following the presidents utterance
there is the observation by Mr. Bryan
that though the outlook of his party
was bright it had been his experience
that prospects are deceptive. Mr.. Bry-
an speaks after the experience of
three national campaigns when he was
the chosen leader of his party. Moth
ing could have been roster than the
outlook in 1896 after the republican
party split in twain in the national
convention and the silver republicans
walked out of the convention.
In Renaissance Mr.. Bryan might
recall that when the silver republicans
went home they made further splits
in the republican party of their re-
spective states and in each and every
instance the silver republican wing
fused with the democrats and endors-
ed the Bryan electors, The republi-
can party was apparently hopelessly
wrecked and the democratic prospects
We're very bright. Every one remem-
bers how the First Battle" ended
and with what courage Mr.. Bryan
girded his loins for the second battle
For three times Mr. Bryan received i
larger popular vote than was evei
given any other democratic candidate
and yet every time he was defeated
by exceptionally large maiorities.
Some of the figures of those early
campaigns are very instructive! Cleve,
lands total vote Of 5.556,91S in 1885,
was fhe record. Bryan's total in
1896 was e.5O2,925; in 1900, $685.

CURRENT PRESS COMMENT
A Tribute to Lincoln.

Lincoln is the one figure of the
civil war era which grows larger and
larger as the years pass. No section
can claim any peculiar proprietorship
in his fame. He was an American
whom every person in the country is
glad to recognize as the supreme IN
fluence in the preservation of the ma
ton. His sentiment of malice toward
none and charity for all was his rule
of conduct throughout the whole of
the era in which he was at the head
of affairs. AS that region quickly
realized, his death was a hard blow
to the South. Had he lived a year
or two longer the restoration of the
eleven Confederate states to their old
places in the council of the CONNIE on
wealths would have come earlier and
would have been attended with far
less of the bitterness which, with
other influences predominant, the re-
adjustment caused, He was a great,
large-hearted American, whose men,
DRY everyone of his countrymen de-
lights to honor today. To him more
than to any other single parsonage
belongs the credit of the outcome
which made America an "indesructi-
BILE union of indestructible states."-

Teaching the Women to Vote

Down in California they have open
ed schools of instruction for the newly
en1ranchiSed women of the state. AS
1t is given out in the news reports the
course consists of lessons in registra-
ton; of entering the voting booth;
marking the ballot; making proper
affidavit where it is required and in
the performance of all other physical
acts which comprise the casting of a
legal vote. We cannot but express
mild surprise that such schools should
be thought necessary, and for the
principal reason that the women of
California manifested such political
wisdom in the conduct of their recent
campaign that the presumption of
knowledge Sufficient to the mere phys
zeal act of voting would follow.
The schools reported are in Los An
geles, and it may be that they are not
established in other cities of the state.
In the Angel City, Just at the present
time, there is a red hot campaign on
which threatens to terminate in the
| triumph of the SoCialists-and in the
election of Job Hartman, one of the
attorneys for the defense in the Nc
! Namara trial, as mayor 1t is said
that the strongest hope for the defeat
of the Socialists lies in the vote of
the women of that city Hence it may
be that extra precaution obtains ia
prevent that vote from being dissuali-
lied and thrown out because of ir-
regularities when the count is made.
Even at that we doubt if there are
many women who will go to the polls

A BIG PUBLICITY BOOST

1t has been said that the best things
sometimes come to us without money
and without price. Such can be said
of the publicity value of the winning
of the grand prizes at the New York
Land show. The victory Mrs. Row
land scored in carrying off the $500
In gold and the silver cup for the best
rs boxes of apples grown in the world
is not only piece of good news to
the growers in this valley but it is
such a piece of news as will be her.
aided all over the country and widely
read and commented upon because the
winner is woman.
The fact that the State of Washing
ton has given women the franchise
and that the women of the state now
have equal rights and equal oppor-
tunities works in with the winning of
the grand prize by Mrs. Rowland and
gives a human interest touch to the
story that increases its publicity fea-
woman orchardist in Yakima val
ley was able to carry off the grand
prize The story is one that will APP
peal to the members of the press in
every section of the country. and we
may expect to learn that the news
has had a wide circulation.
The Herald has contended on many
occasions that the best advertisement
the Yakima valley could get was the
excellence of its products. The win
ming of the prizes at the New York
Land Show is directly in line with
this contention. 1t is the excellence
of the products of this valley that are
to be its best form of advertisement
The most attractive brochure that the
printers art can devise can not equal
a fine fruit display made at any of
the land shows. There is nothing that
educates the mind and reaches the
understanding so we'll as what comes
to the mind through the eye. Seeing
is believing
1t is a source of qualification to
know that the Yakima valley is to
be well represented at the eastern
land shows this fall and winter. The
New York show is the first of a series
to be held in the eastern states, and
the fine showing the valley was able
to make in New York will give this
Section an advantage for the remain
der of the season. At Omaha, St
Paul and Denver it will be easy to
point out the exhibit from the valley
that won the first prize in the great
New York land show" This one thing
will be the weight in the balance that
will determine where a prospective
homeseeker will go to cast his lot.

REVIVAL OF HOG KILLING DAY.

The people are attacking the high
cost of living from every point of
view but it remains for Kansas to
suggest the revival of "hog killing
day" as a means toward that end
For the purpose of restoring "hog
killing day" and the old-fashioned
smokehouse to the farm and thus save
the farmers of Kansas millions on
meat every year, Prof II. j. Waters.
president of the Kansas State Agricul-
tural college has inaugurated plans
for course in butchering to be of
fered those taking the agricultural
course
1t has been pointed out more times
than one that the farmers of the
country are given too much to living
out of the corner grocery store than
to developing the possibilities of liv-
| ing off of the farm. The farm n
raises wheat and alfalfa and feeds
, hogs which he sells to the packer and
then goes into the grocery and buys
hams and bacon paying the packers
profits and freight and the grocers
commission for the product that was
raised ON his own farm. Under prac-
tees like this it is useless to complain
about the high cost of living.
The Kansas college man is right

1873, and in 1908, 64,409,104. In three
campaigns Mr.. Bryant received a larg-
er vote by nearly million ballots than
any other democratic nominee ever
received, yet every time he was Wis
tied with a signal defeat. Mr.. Bryan
speaks from bitter experience when
tive" for in each of these campaigns
he had high hopes and maintained
them until the avalanche of ballots
swept him under.
Counting the increased vote of next
year both from the fact of a larger
population and from the further fact
that women will vote in six states in
the Union and the estimate is that
the addition to the sum total will be
over 100000 votes. This is a puz-
zling factor. Then there is the fur
Their factor of the change in the num-
due to the new census, and the moot
ed question whether or not democratic
success last year was due to an in
creased democratic vote or to the fact
that republicans staid at home, and,
if the latter fact is established, there
is the question of how the stay-at-
homes feel about it now. These are
all elements to be considered before
one can determine what to forecast
as the probable results of 1912.
The Yakima herald. [volume] (North Yakima, W.T. [Wash.]) 1889-1914, 1911-11-15

there should be a revival of "hog
killing day" and the old-fashioned
smokehouse with the home-cured
meats that were in many instances
famous over wide stretch of coun-
try. In these later days of adultera-
tons and preservatives the taste of
the old fashioned home-cured meats
is well nigh forgotten. But the art
can be revived. Every farmer should
produce his own supply and a surplus
to the country grocery where it would
come in direct competition with the
product of the packing houses and
help to reduce the high cost of living
without taking anything from the
quality of the supply.

HARD BLOW TO FAvORITE SON

A little study as to the probable re-
suits of the recent elections on dem
ocratic candidates aspiring to the pres
| idency. 1t shows that the election
was hard blow to favorite sons. The
reversal of form in several of the
states where democratic governors
have been prominent because they
were democratic governors is some
thing to be considered, and seriously
dental candidate next year.
The fact that the democrats had
carried several of the northern states
| that of late years have been going
consistently republican had encour-
aged the democrats in the belief that
with the same leaders they might
hope to repeat in the presidential year
and win enough electoral votes to
add to the vote of the solid south and
win the national elections. Massa-
chusetts, New York, New Jersey and
| Ohio elected democratic governors,
and each of these felt privileged to
| trot out fovorite son for the presi-
Dental nomination.
But the result of the recent cleo
| ton has been quite a jolt to the cam
paign of these favorite sons. In New
| JerSev tho re.1uI,lioopc have rooo;,ol
control of the legislature, and this is
a jarrng note in the campaign of
Woodrow Wilson for the presidential
nomination. In Massachusetts, Gov
ernor Foss has suffered the same
handicap. Republican gains have been
very marked in the old Bay State and
Foss as a favorte son has lost his
prestige. The same thing is true in
New York, where Governor Dix had
some presidential aspirations. Dix is
not only discredited by the defeat in
New York by Charles Murphy of Tam
many Hall has also suffered from the
defeat and may lose his place as lead
er of the state democracy. The only
favorite son that maintained any SEM
blance of his prestige is Harmon of
Ohio, where the election was not gen.
eral but where there were still some
consistent democratic gains.
| But Harmon of Ohio is an ultra
conservative and not a candidate to
oppose Taft, such a candidate at least
as will be expected to draw the full
strength of the progressive democ-
racy, at whose head William Jennings
Bryan is already posted Bryan has
frowned on Harmon's candidacy and
favors Wilson, or better still. Clark
of Missouri, and it would not be sur
prising thing if Champ Clark could
date his successful candidacy to the
nomination for the presidency on the
democratic ticket to the result of the
November elections. Lucky for him
Missouri was not called upon to reg
lister any tendencies in the November
elections.
