alliance with the old reactionary lead
ers, his Winona speech in praise of
a trust.written tariff, his action in
the Ballinger case, and worst Of all,
his denial of patronage to the pro-
gressive wing Of his party, made it
practically impossible for progressive
republicans to support him for re-elec-
ton. Had the progressive republicans
nominated a man like Gov Hadley
OF Missouri many democrats might
have deserted to their colors, but
with Roosevelt as their standard bear
er that was not possible. Conditions
SO trended that Wilson was able to
lead united party against divided
adversary and the result could not
have been otherwise
The election of Wilson and dem
ocratic house and senate is a great
victory for progressive democracy,
ana progressives of all parties have
reason to rejoice. The progressive
republicans were weighted in the race
by candidate, whose record, while
| brilliant In some respects, was a
strange mixture of contradictions.
Complete returns will probably take
u few more states out of the Wilson
column, but the change will not be
sufficient to prevent Wilson from re.
ceiving the largest vote in the
electoral college ever given to a presi
dent of the United States.

DALE BLANCHARD.

The Delaware county friends will
regret TO learn of the death of Dale
Blanchard, who formerly resided in
this county near Delhi, at his home
in FIT. Collins. Colorado, on Friday,
November /, 1912, at the age of twen-
ty-two years.
The remains were brought to this
city Monday and the funeral servic-
es were held Monday afternoon at
the Methodist Episcopal church at
this place. Interment was madie in
Oakland cemetery.
The sermon was pronounced by
Rev. Perry of Masonville, who was
assisted by Rev c.. K. Hudson, pas
tor of the local Methodist church.
The deceased, who was the only
son of Mrs. Howard Blanchard, is
survived by his mother. Mr.. Blan-
chard having proceeded his son in
death about three years ago. The
sympathy OF the many Delaware
county friends is extended the grief
stricken mother.

At this writing it looks as though
Wilson had carried all Of the New
England states, except New Hamp-
shire. which is in doubt, and Vermont
which is for Taft; all of the eastern
states except Pennsylvania, which is
for Roosevelt; all Of the southern and
border states, including Maryland,
.he two Virginias, Kentucky and Mis-
souri,; all Of the central west, except
Michigan, Illinois and Kansas, which
are for Roosevelt; and all ,of the
mountain and Pacific Coast states,
with the exception Of Wyoming and
Utah. which are for Taft, and Oregon
Idaho and Washington, which have
not been sufficiently heard from to
warrant predictions as to results.
The causes which brought about
such a remarkable result are now
fairly apparent. For the past ten
years we have had insurgent republl-
cans. men who wanted human rights
placed first AS a class they hoped
to be able to secure desired results
without leaving the republican par
ty, but were harrassed on all sides
by the representatives of the inter-
ests that had contributed vast sums
to pay the campaign expenses OF
their party.
In dealing with these party differ
ences Taft could not have blundered
worse than he did. The presidents
