The triumph Of Wilson and Mar
snail means a clean, honest, economi-
cal administration Of the affairs Of
me nation. We confidently believe
that it means relief from the bur
dens that the people have borne so
lcng. BY the speedy diminutiOn Of
the oppressive tariff expressions the
high cost Of living will be reduced to
figures that men of moderate
VIII be able better to bear.
The magnitude Of the victory gain
ed far exceeds the utmos eXpecta-
tons that the most sanguine demo-
crat allowed himself to form. Com
mencing in the far extremity of the
sturdy state OF Maine, sweeping
through that former stronghold Of re
publicanism, New England, covering
the ~populous and progressive middle
states, on through the rock-ribbed
solid south" and middle west, over
Whelming almost every vestige OF ad-
verse effort as it went until it greet
ed the unset shores of the Pacific,
the grand flood of democracy swept
over the nation on Tuesday, Obliterat-
ing the last lingering landmarks of
the historic party of the COS and
sweeping into oblivion the budding
hopes of the new aspirant for its hon
| ors, triumphant hosts of the deathless
party of Jefferson come into their
own again.-Tampa Times.
A nan of splendid training has led
democracy to victory after sixteen
years of futile effort upon the part
of others. Democracy has again
come into her own, and the credit
must be given the nominee because
it has been his will and his hand that
has guided the campaign which has
ended so splendidly.
Glorious indeed is the victory, and
with such a man as Woodrow Wilson
in the presidents chair the country
will enjoy four years of. unparalleled
prosperity.-St. Augustine Press.
No one man can claim the credit.
There is glory enough for all. Each
| section of the country is entitled to
representation in the cabinet. The
south. like the other sections of the
republic, will now be able to state her
| case to friendly ears. Wilson is of
good old southern lineage. He knows
the land of Dixie as no president
since Washington has known it. He
keeps his ear to the ground and
knows the mind of the people.
The south. like the whole country,
expects much from Wilson. He is a
man to live up to expectations. The
| possession of power and influence will
not turn his head and the country
now may look forward to an era OF
peace. happiness and prosperity

The overwhelming popular and
electoral vote received by Woodrow
Wilson in Tuesdays election justifies
the most sanguine hopes of his sup
~porters and vindicates the judgment
of those who advocated his nomlna-
ton by the democratic party.
In the face of this great result 1t
is safe to say that no democrat IN
the nation could have polled he vote
received Tuesday by the man who IS
to be the next president of the Unit
ed States. 1t may further be SAID
that no man ever went into the office
! of president with a more united ana
harmonious constituency than Wood
row Wilson will have when he takes
the oath of office on the fourth OF
next March.
The campaign is now over, and the
result is final. If during that cam
naign or during the contest for the
nomination, any bitterness was en-
gendered among those who opposed
Governor Wilson and those who sup
ported him, such feeling we believe
will pass away with the election OF
this great progressive democrat
