1 have mentioned before the mud
puddle over which Queen Elizabeth
once crossed with the assistance OF Sir
Walter Raleigh. 1 not only bought
piece of the cloak, but have seen the
mudpuddle. Although this incident oc-
CURED many hundred years ago they
keep the mudpuddle intact In dry
weather they are obliged to moisten 1t
from hydrant near by, but otherwise
it is a genuine mudpuddle.
The English are a very polite people.
If you ask them a question they will
not knock you down or kick you into
the gutter. No, indeed, they will only
stare at you as though you were a
strange animal from the Island of Fan
zibar and give you an evasive answer
such as GO to thunder" or something
like that. They also have a sense of
humor. I tried this out thoroughly on a
porter in the hotel. / used the ancient
gag which I used to delight the au-
diences of Barlow, Primrose and West.
Call me cab said.
You are a bloomin, keb, sir. Haw!
haw!' he replied, without stopping
more than ten minutes to think
am not expecting to stay here very
long. If L stay a week, it is going to
cost me five pounds and I haven't
more than half pound of money in my
clothes, including the nichels and pen
mics.

A bundle of artistic temperament,

care to follow the rather rigid direc-
tions. Do not eat any meat or starchy
substances, such as potatoes or pud-
dings. Keep away from chicken a la

rarebit and chop suey. In fact, you can
eat nothing but dill pickles with an oc-
casional grape fruit or lemon for a
change. Drink nothing It all but tart
lemonade. Split four cords of wood
before breakfast every morning. This
is quite expensive, of course. as wood is
high and hard to get. Run IS miles be-

horseback all the afternoon. OF course
this may interfere somewhat with your
regular occupation as stenographer in
the soap factory, but one must sacrifice
something. you know, in order to keaa

POLITICAL INACTIVITY.

elimination Of the Negro from office
means his elimination from politics.
The Negro should have a voice in
the affairs governmental, both local
and national in proportion to the sup.
port he gives that government.
The Negro is due some political
representation as matter of right,
not as a matter of favor. Numerical

this. If we get together.

The sentiment of the American
public knows no bounds. They chose
any time or place to perform any
ceremonies which may appeal to
their fads or fancies. The
lynching Of Negroes by white men
is prevalent, yet the lynching Of

that this lawlessness Is not born Of

WoodoW Wilson To Be the Next President of United States
THE STIPULATION AS WE NOW
 SEE II

! The Examiner believes that Wood row Wilson is elected president of the United States, but the returns by wire, so far received in Yuma, do not prove it.
 l The indications, are, roughly speak ing, that Wilson has about 300 cleo toral votes; Roosevelt about 200, with Taft and Debs not entering as factors. Roosevelt has, probably, carried Yer mont, Pennsylvania, Michigan, Illinois, Kansas, Iowa, Minnesota, South Da- kota, Washington, Nebraska and Cali fornia.
 Wilson has, apparently, all the rest. Complete returns are lacking.
 The election has shown that the American people will not stand for crookedness when it is shown up, and the work of the Republican National Convention at Chicago last June has been repudiated decisively.
 What Theodore Roosevelt has done, backed by the Progressive party, in three months, could have been done by no other American. The showing is marvellous to the extreme.
 The Progressive party now is the second party in the nation, as the Re publican party was in 1856.
 The Republican party has outlived ;ts usefulness, just as the Wings had in 1856, and, probably, will not nomin ate another candidate for president
 As to whether the Progressive party will elect president in 1916, depends entirely on the record made by Wood row Wilson and the Democratic par ty in the next four years.
 The Examiner wishes Woodrow Will son God-speed, and sincerely hopes that he will take his orders from the American people, as opposed to the "in- visible government"
Arizona sentinel and Yuma weekly examiner., 1912-11-07
Managers Sacrifice Taft

It was evident, too, that there was ground for the charges made in nearly all sections that the state managers of the Republican ticket had deliber- ately sacrificed Taft in an effort to save their local tickets. In Illinois, the Deneen managers dealt with the Dem ocrats, promising Wilson support of the state and local tickets, and the re- turns indicate the deal was successful The same orders were issued by the Republican managers in New York, Massachusetts, Connecticut and some of the Western states, notably in Iowa and Nebraska With this sacrifice of the head of the ticket, the Republicans joined the Democrats in an effort to beat the ticket of the Progressives, both at home and nationally, and an analysis of the final returns when they are all in will demonstrate that the party managers deliberately threw away any chance of support for Taft in order to keep their hands on the To- cal machinery.

|. CHICAGO, Nov. 6.-Woodrow Will son of New Jersey has been elected president by an overwhelming Demo- cratic vote and, apparently, will have the greatest electoral vote given any president in recent years.
 Returns from all points at this time indicate that Colonel Roosevelt and the Progressive ticket ran a close second, with President Taft and the Repub- aican ticket a poor third.
 Indications are that Wilson has car ried New York by 125,OOO; Massachu- setts by nearly as good a margin; Maine, Connecticut, Rhode Island, New Jersey, Delaware, Maryland by 14,OO0; North Carolina and Tennessee, as we'll as the Southern states that naturally fall to the Democratic candidate.
 Indications at this time also are that he has carried Ohio, Indiana, Wiscon-
