GOOD MORNING, PRES. WILSON.

halls"
Answer the question we must,
From the land Of the gallinippers,
And the home of the wicked trust.
The democratic party has won sig
nal victory in electing Wilson and
Marshall, their candidates for presi-
dent and vice-president, and a major
ity of the representatives in congress.
In winning this victory it cannot be
said that the unexpected has hap
pened. Wilson and Marshall were as
good as elected the day after their
nominations at the Baltimore conven-
ton.
1t was not so much an endorsement
of democratic principles as the result
of an unnecessary split in the repub-
lican party After the adjournment
of the Chicago convention and the
bolt on the part of Roosevelt, nothing
could have occurred to defeat the dem
ocrats, united as they were during
the campaign.
The indications are that Wilson has
carried more than eighty-tive per cent
of the states in the union and that he
will have safe majority of electors
and so large that there will not be the
least danger of the house OF repre-
sentatives being called upon to act
Roosevelt made a phenomenal run in
the middle western states, carrying
Iowa, Illinois and South Dakota, and
running second in a number of other
states.
Crawford county is carried for him
as against Taft by small plurality,
although Wilson's plurality in the
county will be large one, but not in
excess of the combined vote OF both
Taft and Roosevelt
The Iowa legislature is thought to
be safely republican, and Senator Ken
yon will, therefore, succeed himself.
Clarke and other republican candi-
dates on the state ticket are probably
elected, although it may require the
official count to settle the question.
| A report comes at noon today that
the democratic state ticket is elected,
which means that G. L. CasWell, our
townsman, will become state treasur-
er.
On the county ticket the democrats
appear to have won and elected their
entire ticket, although Cushman and
Lorenzen have received a surprising
| ~ large vote.
The only states that Taft seems to
have carried are Vermont and Utah,
although it may turn out that he has
carried other states. 1t is too early
to attempt an analysis of the vote
which elected Mr.. Wilson, but the main
cause is to be found in the bitterness
between the factions in the republl-
can party and of the bolt of Theodore
Roosevelt. His friends will naturally
claim his vindication because OF the
vote which he received throughout
the country.
The campaign leaves three political
parties in Iowa contrasting for SUI
premacy. The democratic party, the
republican party and Theodore Roose-
velt's party. 1t is difficult to predict
what will happen, but unless the
breach between those, who until the
convention at Chicago were republ-
cans, is healed there is little hope OF
ousting the democrats from power for
some time to cone.
The country will have gentleman
of refinement and education for presi-
dent because Woodrow Wilson, SO
far as culture and gentlemanly quail
|ities are concerned, has no superior.
1t is, however, up to him to prove to
the American people that his choice
was a wise one and it would be I'M
patriotic to wish him and his party
|anything but the highest success.
