Princeton, N. j., Nov. 5.-Re-
spending to a telegram from the
Democratic national chairman, as
serting that Governor Wilson unques-
tionably was elected, the Democratic
candidate sent dispatch to Mr.. Nc
Combs as follows:
II deeply appreciate your telegram
and wish to extend to you and the
members of the campaign committee
my warm congratulations on the part
you have played in the organization
and conduct of a campaign fought
out upon essential issues.
"a great cause has triumphed.
Every Democrat, every true progress
sive, of whatever alliance, must now
lend his full force and enthusiasm to
the fulfillment of the peoples hope,
the establishment of the peoples
rights, so that justice and progress
may 90 hand in hand.'

WILSON AND T. r. CLOSE IN
KANSAS.
Democrat is Leading; Bull Moose Claim
Majority of 10, 900.

Topeka, Nov. $50 extremely
fragmentary and partial are the re-
turns at the various state headquar-
ters from Kansas at 10 o'clock that
estimating is difficult.
Wilson is leading for president,
with Roosevelt and Taft second and
third in that order from the summary
of the very incomplete and meager
information. Roosevelt supporters,
however, are claiming 10000 major
ity. Upon these reports the race be-
tween w. r. Stubbs Rep.) and w.
H. Thompson Dem.) for United
States Senator looks close, with
Thompson leading. A close fight be-
tween Arthur Capper Rep.) and
George Hodges Dem. for governor
is also indicated, with Capper ahead
on the ballots so far counted and re-
ported.

Democratic ticket in Missouri have
been victorious by overwhelming
pluralities. Every return received
shows that the Democratic state ticket
polled the full strength of four years
ago, with Major leading his ticket.
Roosevelt is running strong, and if
he does not carry the state over Taft
will be very close third. In some
counties A. D. Nortoni, the Bull
Moose nominee for Governor, is rum
ming ahead of John C. Mckinley, the
regular Republican nominee, but Nc
kinley's total vote apparently will
exceed that of Nortoni.
On the face of all returns so far
received Democratic leaders contend
their forecasts of a plurality exceed
ing 100000 for Wilson and Major
will be fulfilled, and that the state
ticket will run not far behind. The
State Legislature will be Democratic
by larger majority than ever before
in the history of the state.
Wilson Loses County. !
In only one county from which any
returns have been received has Taft
or Mckinley run ahead of Wilson or
Major. That is Greene county, one
of the weak spots of the Bull Moosers,
and even here returns are from the
strongest stand-pat precincts.
1t is apparent that the heavy down.
pour of rain through most sections of
Missouri will not prevent a vote fully
IS large as that of four years ago
'eing polled. With Major and the
Democratic ticket polling $4,000
'otes and the race for the other $780,
100 so evenly divided between Roose-
'elt and Taft it is apparent that the
Democratic pluralities will be stupen-

exception of Judge of the Southern

high as 1,500. While complete re-
turns are not in from all the town.
ships it is safe to predict that the tic
ket will run we'll together with plu-
ralities OF 1900 and over. w. F.
Wolfe, candidate for Judge of the
Northern District, is elected by ma
iority OF probably $50. |. A. Petty,
Republican candidate for Judge of
the Southern District, who was en-
dorsed by the Progressives is the
only Republican elected in the county.

The Single Tax Beaten.

An overwhelming vote was cast
throughout the entire rural districts
of the state against the Single Tax
Amendments, and although the re-
turns are incomplete, it is being free
ly predicted that these amendments
were beaten by almost fifty to one.
In the cities the vote in favor of the
amendments fell far short of the ex-
pectatons Of the friends of the pro-
posals.
This probably means the defeat of
the entire list of amendments.

Increase of Twenty Congressman.

The partial returns would indicate
that the Democrats will have about
twenty Congressman over the 21f
necessary for majority. The cleo
ton OF three Socialist Congressmer
from the Allegheny district of Penn.
sylvania is indicated by early returns.
Wilson has carried twenty-eigh1
states on the returns already receiv.
ed, giving him 1856 electoral votes.
Roosevelt seems sure of three, giving
him 81 electoral votes.
Sixteen states are doubtful. They
have total of IA electoral votes.
Taft so far has carried only Ver-
mont, with 4 electoral votes.
Of the doubtful states Wilson is in
dicated as the probable winner in
four--California, Wisconsin, Mime
sofa and South Dakota-having a
total electoral vote of 43. Should he
carry these states his total electoral
vote would be 379, the largest ever
received by presidential candidate.
The largest electoral vote ever CIV
en- to a nominee was in 1904, when
Mr.. Roosevelt received 336 in his
battle against Alton B. Parker. The
next highest number went to Mr..
Taft four years later, when he ran
against William j. Bryan. Next was
William McKinley's 292 over William
j. Bryan in 1900, and next was Pres
ident Grants 296 over Horace Gree
ley in 1872. !
T. r. May Get Pennsylvania.
Roosevelt may carry Pennsylvania
with its 80 electoral votes. Taft may
carry New Hampshire with 4 elec.
toral votes and Rhode Island with 5.

gro nutses, men and women, are in
great demand here in our town.
These are some Of THE many calls
that aseail the principal ofo TuskegeeN
institute at all seasons Of the wear.
IT. is reasonably so. The change OF
the trend 'of education among both
black, and white; the increase Of
wealth and courage to venture into
business among Negroes; the higher
and higher esteem into which skilled
Negro workmen' ans, rising all make
this call louder and more general.
AT .Tuskegee Institute some thirty
odd Of those industries are taught
There"are millinery, dressmaking. la
dies tailoring, upholsterng and MAJ
tress-making, domestic science, laun-
dertng and gymnastics for girls; there
are shoe making, tailoring, wheel
wr1ghting, carpentry, cabinet making,
tInsmtthing, printing, harness maxi
Ing, mechanical and architectural
drawing, mechanical, electrical and
steam engineering, for boys; and there
jci,
farming, poultry raising, stock rails
ing, horticulture, landscape gardening,
veterinary science, fruit growing, and
many other branches of industry, botn
mechanical and agricultural, for both
boys and girls. Let no, one halt at
the Idea of young women entering the
agricultural trades. This again is the
modern trend of things. More than
this experience and experiments at
Tuskegee nstitute are demonstrating
that the young woman is just as apt
and able a pupil with the machinery
In the creamery, with the science of
feeds in the poultry yard, with pack
ing and handling fruits in the Or
chard as she is with grammatical syn
tax in the classroom, and just as
quick and aggressive as is her young
man classmate, to whom time and
prejudice have hitherto restricted
these trades.
But more of the specific trades la
ter. The call for the skilled Negro
workman today bears with it compre-
>hensiyes assumptions. 1t asks for men

and women skilled in one or more
branches of handwork; but 1t also has
a flavor Of something else. Has ne
religion? Has he character? Has he
good habits? Is he punctual? Has
he culture? Can he make speech?
Can he command respect? Will he
stand for anything in the community?
Does me know how to- get along with
people? These arg some Of the re-
quirements that the trades teachers Of
today must face lin addition to spe-
c1al training in given industry. AS
a mere workman he might pass mus
ter without these; but as a teacher
and leader, he must have these to-
gether with excellence in scholarship.
And strange enough it is that these
very essential requirements are not Of
fered in the curriculum of any school.
1t is hardly advisable that they -shou d
be. The student should get them as
he goes. They should be part of his
daily life, just like eating his meals
and drinking water No institution
offers water drinking as one Of its
courses in school curriculum, no
more should it offer course, in PRAYER
or in character; but both the prayer
and the character should be Just as
common and just as refreshing as IS

the band boy, from direct contact with

The numerous gatherings held at the
Institute throughout the year offer this
same advantage to the great mass Of
students who either have no very
likely talent or no time to train. Dur
ing last year these students MET and
heard speak representatives frtI al

was the African Race Congress, which
brought representatives from Ell glan1,
Germany, Sweden, Denmark, the
West Indies, as we'll as from various
parts Of the United States and Africa.

the world. This contact alone, were
there no trades, no books, no instruc-

ing that he shall be fitted. :"

ability to get along which, is asked Of
every man who seeks a position of
any kind whatsoever.
This is the student life How has
he gotten his trade? How mas ne
chosen it? How will he fit himself
in it? Even vita his culture the trade
alone will not do. If he is a wheel
wright he cannot simply make wheels.
If he is n blacksmith he cannot SIM
ply do blacksm1thing If. so liz could

and with his skill as a.. traaesman
