Great CAUSE IN
TRIUMPH: WILSON

Princeton, n. j., Nov. 6.-Respond-
ing TO a telegram from the demo
cratic national chairman. asserting
that the democratic candidate was
elected, the democratic candidate sent
message to Mr.. McCombs as fol.
.ows:
I deeply appreciate your telegram
and wish to extend TO you and the
members of the campaign committee
my warm congratulations for the part
you have played in the organization
and conduct of campaign fought out
upon essential issues.
"A great cause has triumphed. Ev-
cry democrat, every true progressive
Of whatever alliance, must now lend
It's full force and enthusiasm to the
fulfllment of the peoples hope, the es-
Enlistment of the peoples right, that
justice and progress may go hand in
hand"
This was Governor Wilson's first ut
terance of a public character follow
ing his acceptance of the reports that
he had been elected.
President-Elect Wilson today re-
piled to the congratulatory kilograms
of Taft and Roosevelt and issued a
statement in which he declared:
There is absolutely nothing for the
honest and enlightened business men
OF the country to fear from a demo-
cratic administration"

result. 1t was indicative of the tri-
umph Of Wilson. From that time on
the returns were flashed without in
terruption until after midnight.
Illuminated pictures OF Wilson and
Dunno thrown upon the screen added
to the enthusiasm. When the rain
came on the crowd rushed into the
Wilson democratic club headquarters
on the second floor Of the Rock Island
house where duplicate bulletins were
read. The Argus Office was thronged
and the returns were received to the
joy and satisfaction born of long but
confident anticipation.
Locally speaking and throughout
the congressional, judicial and legis-
lative districts as well as the
were aggravatingly slow in coming in
country returns were aggravat-
ingly slow in coming in owing
to the length Of the ballot and
the amount of scratching. The judges

known, democrats began talking of a
demonstration. and it was finally
agreed to put the arrangements up to
the Wilson Democratic and the Dunno
clubs, and the presidents of those two
organizations are planning a grand rat
ihcaticn meeting in Rock Island in
which the county committee will of
course be invited to join hands in the
arrangements.
This morning the following express
sions Of appreciation and gratitude
were prepared:
Headquarters Dunno Club.-The
Dunno club wishes to express its graf

worked so nObly in yesterdays cleo

Win.

Democrats In the Fourteenth con-
gressional district, the Fourteenth cir.
cult court district and in Rock Island
county shared in the great victory that
swept the nation and state yesterday.
At least these are ths indications
based upon the returns at hand. Clyde

On the judicial ticket il looks as il
Charles 3. Marshall was safely eject
ed. He carried Rock Island county
overwhelmingly, and measre returns
from the adjoining counties in the dis
trict indicate that he has run ahead Of
all expec tations.
THE COUNTY TICKET.
On the county ticket the returns at
hand show the democrats have split
at least with the republicans in the
victory and maybe have done better.
Thompson is elected states attorney
over Harry M. McCaskrin by about PAS
with three precincts TO hear from. Dr..
r. c. J. Meyer seems to have bested
Rose for coroner. and c. c. HubSart
has the best Of TreichIer for surveyor.
This would leave the reelection Of Gam
BILE as circuit clerk, the election of Ry.
erson as recorder and Fleming as pro-
bate clerk to the republicans.
Complies returns may charge this
view OF the outcome, but based on fig
ures at hand, the democrats have cap.

COLONEL SENDS A
WIRE TO WILSON

Oyster Bay, N. Y, Nov. 6.-ShortIy
before midnight last night Colonel
Roosevelt made the following state.
ment; The American people by a
great plurality have decided in favor
OF Mr.. Wilson and the democratic
party. Like all good citizens, l accept
the result with entire good humor and
contentment. AS for the progressive
cause, l can only repeat what l have
already so many times said.
THE fate of the leader for the time
being is of little consequence, but the
cause itself must in the end triumph
for its triumph is essential to the well
being of the American people"
(Signed) THEODORE ROOSEVELT.
At the same time he issued his
statement Colonel Roosevelt sent the
following telegram to Governor VIII
son:
by a great plurality the people
have conferred upon you the highest
honor in their gift l congratulate
you thereon" (Signed).

ILLINOIS COUNT
UNUSUALLY SLOW

Chicago, Nov. 6.-The slow collec-
ton of election returns in Illinois can
be attributed to several causes. Yes
teTday afternoon after a general rain
fell over the state many telegraph @ad
telephone wires were put out of COM
mission and the extreme length of the
ballot in the national and state tick
els resulted in a slow count, outside
of Cook county. In some country dis
tlicts, election officers, as soon as the
polls closed, locked up the ballots and
went home, postponing the count till
tie next day. In nearly every county
tie vote was badly split among the
various candidates. There were five
candidates for nearly every Office on
both state and national tickets. In
many counties election officers were
more interested in county tickets and
dey oted the first attention to the count
fer candidates for local Offices.

Norm Miller and Jess Ashley are
two Plymouth young men who are
"making good with two of the
biggest firms in this country. The
former is with the International
Harvester Co. selling their engines
and the latter is with divers of
South Bend, putting up and testing
their gang plows. Both of these
men have just been at tie farm Of
Geo. Varier near Bourbon setting
up and testing for him an engine
and 5-gang pillow. On his place
they said the test was the most
severe They went through stony,
stumpy, gravelly, clay and loan
ground. Both engine and gangs
worked to perfection, and the test
was all that could be desired
The boys say that only OCCASION
allv is there to be found a gang
plow through the east and central
states. but that to the west they
are shipped by the car load. There
are one or two others in this couh-
ty. so Mr. Varier is among the most
progressive farmers we have in the
use of new and approved machinery.

No Excursion Rates.

Tie Central Passenger AssOcia-
lion has made ruling that there
shall be no fares for less than two
cents a mile. In accordance with
this the Vandalia has taken action
conforming to the rule. This will
knock hard on the summer resort
people who have been enjoying
reduced fare from Terre Haute to
Culver. Heretofore the round trip
from Terre Haute to Culver has
keea $3.50, and by the new rule
it will Re $500. This will not
please the patrons of the roaO and
they will protest against it.
AS the Vandalia is not even the
big end of the Central Passenger
Association, it is likely their pro-
tests will do no good. Whether It
will make a big difference in the
volume of business done, remains to
be seen, and unless concessions can
be made in some way, it will cost
those who summer at the lake a
trife more this year than it has in
others years.
