THE returns insure the election or
Governor Wilson to the presidency.
This means an early change In the
economic policy of the government In
reference to the tariff If this change
can be made without hating pros
perity. l sincerely hope it may be.
THE vote for Mr.. Roosevelt, the
third party candidate, and Mr.. Debs,
the Socialist candidate, is a warning
that their propaganda In favor or
fundamental changes in our -constitu-
tional representative government have
formidable support.
While the experiment of change
in the tariff is being carried out by
the Democratic administration, 1t be-
hooves Republicans to gather again to
the party standard and pledge anew
their faith in their party's principles
and to organize again to defend the
constitutional government handed
down to us by our fathers"
