TAFT ON HIS DEFEAT
Apprehensive Over the Vote
Given Debs and Roosevelt.

Says They Should Be Brought Back
to Sound Principles.
SENDS GREETINGS TO WILSON
President Apparently Less Cast
Down Over Result Than Any of
His Companions.
SENDS GREETINGS TO WILSON

CINCINNATI, Ohio, November g.
President Taft at II o'clock last night
conceded the election OF Gov. Wilson. He
issued the following statement from his
brothers home here:
1.-THE returns insure the election of Gov.
Wilson to the presidency. This means an
early change in the economic policy Of
the government in reference to the tariff.
II this change can be made without halt
ing prosperity l sincerely hope 1t may be.
THE vote for Mr. Roosevelt, the third
party candidate, and for Mr.. Debs, the
socialist candidate. is warning that
their propaganda in favor Of fundamental
changes in our constitutional representa-
tive government has formidable support.
while the experiment of change in
the tariff is being carried out by the
democratic administration, it behooves re-
publicans to gather again to the party
standard and pledge anew their faith in
their rarty's principles and to organize
again to defend the constitutional gov
ernment handed down to us by our faith
ers.
Must Win Back the Young Men.
1--WE must make clear to the young
men of the country who have been
weaned away from sound principles of
government by promise of reforms, i'm
possible Of accomplishment by mere leg
islation. that patriotism and common
sense require them to return to a sup
port of our Constitution. Without COM
promising our principles. we must con-
vince and win back former republicans,
and we must reinforce our ranks with
Constitution-loving democrats.
fny- %
ward more perfect equality of opportunity
and the Kidding society of injustice. But
we know that all progress worth max
ing is possible with our present form
of government, and that to sacrifice that
which is OF the highest value in our gov
ernmental structure for underlined and
impossible reforms is the widest folly
We must face the danger with clear
knowledge of what it is.
THE republican party is equal to the
task. 1t has had no nObler cause. Let
us close ranks and march forward to do
battle for the right and the true
Congratulates Wilson.
President Taft last night sent kilograms
to Gov. Wilson and Chairman Hilles of
the republican national committee.
Here are the messages:
Cincinnati, Ohio, November ).
'Mr. Woodrow Wilson, Princeton, n. j.
II cordially congratulate you on your
election, and extend to you my best
wishes for successful administration.

publican National Committee, Times

campaign in the face of unusual obsta-
cles congratulate you heartily on the
fight you have made, and / am deeply
grateful to you Tor it.

and apparently was under less strain than
other members of the family dinner party

LEADING BY 10000
Wilson's Plurality Over Roose-
welt in New Jersey.
LEGISLATURE DEMOCRATIC
Republicans Elect Only One of the
Twelve Representatives in the
House of Representatives.
LEGISLATURE DEMOCRATIC

NEWARK, n. j., November G.-With
one-half Of New Jerseys vote uncounted
at sunrise today, Gov. Wilson was lead
ing Roosevelt by nearly 10000 votes and
had beaten Taft approximately two to
one. One representative was apparently
all that the republicans saved from the
landslide indicated by the vote then
counted. Wilson's plurality, it was indi-
Gated, probably will exceed 10000.
OF twelve representatives elected. eleven
are democrats. The new legislature is
on joint ballot, sixty-one to
twenty The republicans have a majority
of fifteen in the present legislature. The
complexion of the new legislature makes
certain the election of William Hughes,
democrat. as United States senator and
of a democratic successor to Wilson as
governor during the remainder of his
term.
Although Roosevelt led Taft, the pro-
gressive state ticket fell many thousand
votes short of the republicans.
In Essex county, largest In the state.
the indications early today were that
Roosevelt would carry the county by ap,
proximately 1000 The county elected

Why Wilson Won.
From the Philadelphia Press.


A divided republican party against a
united democratic party was too heavy
odds to be overcome. The returns are
sufficiently complete to indicate definite
ly that Gov. Wilson has triumphed. This
result will cause profound regret to re-
publicans who see ominous possibilities
in such victory, but 1t is the inevitable
result of the bull moose secession. That
movement on all reasonable calculations
could have no other consequences than
to establish the democratic party In ma
tional power. Gov. Wilson has proved
himself good candidate for his party.
He has character, dignity and many per-
sonal qualities which compel respect. He
has made a good campaign, not perhaps
of the soul-stirring kind, but he has
shown himself Of ready utterance, fertile
i'm ideas and equal to the demands of the
occasion. If he did not arouse his au-
diences to enthusiasm, he secured their
respectful attention and manifestly won
their votes. With the exception of some
valuable assistance from Mr.. Bryan, he
was permitted to carry on the campaign
pretty much by himself. He was not
the choice Of the democratic leaders. and
they did not think it necessary to labor
specially for his success.

Of 924 over Col Roosevelt. Mr.. Taft re-
ceived a total Of 23.247 votes; Col Roose-

Col Roosevelt received the largest sup
port in the farming districts, where
President Taft's Canadian reciprocity
policy was said to be unpopular. The

Republicans Helped Wilson.

From the Baltimore American.
Theodore Roosevelt gave advance no
tice that in case of the election of his
democratic opponent he would claim that
the progressives had selected their man
even though this was rot himself. He has
these things be entirely outside the range
Of his disposal What are the facts in the
case with regard to the remarkable vic
tory Of the democratic candidate? The
returns tell the tale. They disclose the
state Of mind of the voters OF the re-
public. They show that the American
citizens were fearful of the revolutionary
tenets espoused by the former President
and were determined that he should not
have an opportunity of throwing the
country into confusion. Therefore. thou
sands Of republicans voted for Woodrow
Wilson In order to kill off the bull moose
candidate. The question of loyalty to
party or fidelity to the republic was
placed before the serious citizenship, and
they chose the latter. 1t was feared by
the republicans throughout the land that
the republican party in, a divided condi-
ton was under the shadow of defeat,
even though admiration inspired faith In
the power Of President Taft to do much to-
ward saving victory for his party. The
republican voters could not be held to the
standard. They deserted in the cause OF
what they felt was the higher patriotism
of placing the country before the indi-
vidual and before parties. They voted Tor
Wilson, not as deliberate choice, but
because of their adherence of the radical
and revolutionary tenets set forth by the
man, who. having been President two
the country from the ills he played up
during the campaign. was then bent upon
securing control of its destinies for an
other period of power.

EDITORIAL VIEWS ON THE RESULT

1888 he had a small plurality Of the
popular vote, although losing in the
electoral college. 1t may not diminish
the President elects confidence In his
political destiny to reflect that he has
received a mandate from less than half
Of the voters of the country, but 1t
ought to make him more prudent about
attempting to reverse settled national
policies approved at many elections and
still adhered to by the majority Of the
electorate The vote cast for the two
protection candidates for President
ought to counsel extreme moderation
on his part as a smasher of tariffs.

called what he said about fooling them.
and they resolved that this should not
be accounted one of the years in which

tened to the pleading of the three
causes, and heaven knows that the
pleas were long enough. and many of
them frantic enough. to throw quite off
their balance a less sober-minded peo-
pie. They have listened to Mr.. Wilson.
They have carefully observed and
measured him, unknown as he was to
almost all Of them. They have seen
Mr.. Taft hopelessly, and We fear sadly,
leading the remnant of his broken
party. They have watched Mr.. Roose-
Welt with intense interest, but him
they knew. Then yesterday they rem
dered their decision with an emphasis
which removes all doubt that this is
the very thing they had all the time
intended to do.

Republican Division.
IN the New York American.

I n
The democratic party has won its
greatest victory in more than half a CEN
tury, but 1t has won because of a di-
vided opposition. President Wilson will
receive the electoral votes of larger
number of states than any candidate for
President since the first national conven-
not have a majority of the popular vote
of the country. These facts are stated
SO that the true situation shall not
be cbscured. They do not In any
way dim the glory of the demo-
cratic triumph, nor diminish the credit
due Gov. Wilson for his errorless and
brilliant leadership in the campaign. But
the truth should give to all democrats a
profound sense OF responsibilities deep
realization that the power has been con-
tided 10 them for hard work and for pub
lie service, and not for mere rejoicing
and self-consratIlation and still less Cor
the mere division Of political spoils.

From the Baltimore Sun.
Roosevelt made what must really be &C

great tribute to him. When Wilson was
nominated at Baltimore the necessity for
third party ended, and that fact became
more and more apparent as the campaign
proceeded and the issues were thrashed
out But in spite Of 1t the coloEel polled
tremendous popular vote. No other
American could have done as well. We
are sincerely glad that that is SO, be-
cause he is too big man to be lost to
our politics. The result shows that he
will remain an important factor. Presi-
dent Taft, could he be made aware of the
respectful sympathy and personal admi-
ration that goes out to him today, would
find in that some compensation for his
defeat. The people have no fault to find
with him as man; only as President.
