The Message From Vermont.

! Gov. Woodrow Wilson will be the
next president of the United States
| such is the message from the voters
of Vermont. Vermont alone. OF
course. speaks thus, but in so far as
the state speaks at all TO the other
states of the Union, democratic vic.
tory in the country at large in No
vember has been forecast.
From a national viewpoint. the most
important thing to consider in the
Vermont returns is the votes cast for
the democratic candidate for govern
or. A falling off from the democratic
vote Of four or two years ago would
indicate that the Roosevelt party had
broken the democratic lines and
drawn off democratic voters. The
of such a development would be in
calculable. But the returns show
that the democrats have increased
their vote not only over four years
ago, but over two years ago when
they cast 1888 for governor. but ov-
er two years ago when they cast H.
425. There seems to be no doubt that
besides holding their own, the dem
ocrats profited somewhat from the
defections from the republican party.
With the Vermont democrats show
ing this power to stand firm and even
to gain in strength. under the pres
ent extraordinary political conditions.
there is every reason to believe that
the democrats in every other state
will do the same. The Vermont
democrats faced the temptation to
run after the Bull Moose. The pres
idential candidate OF the new party
cast his spell upon them in a three
days whirl-wind tour II seems al
most automatic that the democrats
elsewhere will display precisely the
same cohesion. and that means a dem
ocratic president almost to a mathe-
NAUTICAL certainty.
There Is no republican majority in
Vermont reported from White River

Vermont.

The Taft Republicans and the
Roosevelt Progressives may share
between them the disappointment OF
the voting in Vermont yesterday, and
for them they are bitter enough. For
the Democrats the figures justify not
merely the hope but the firm belief
and full confidence that Gov. Wilson
will be elected president in Novem-
ber
The vote was larger than it is the
wont of Vermonters to register in the
September election. This was expect
ed, for this is the first time in half
a century or more that the state has
been enlivened and stirred up by a
real contest. Yet there has been no
election of governor by the people,
and that was expected, too. the leg
islature will make choice of Mr..
Fletcher, who was the candidate of
the Taft Republicans. The Democrats
made a gain over the vote In 1910
that, for a state where there are SO
few Democrats may be called substan-
tial The Progressive candidate for
governor, who comes out third In the
poll seems to have drawn the greater
part of his vote directly from the
regular Republican strength, the rest
of it from that large class of voters
who did not go to the polls in the
September election of 1910. There
is no evidence that Vermont Demo
Gratis were attracted by the third-term
program. The loss the regular Repub-
licans sustained is real and serious
but by no means so great as some of
the organization men had feared or
as the Progressives had hoped.
In general the result has been pre-
cisely what has been foreseen from
the moment of Mr.. Roosevelts bolt
at Chicago and from the time when
united Democracy acclaimed the
nomination of Gov. Wilson at Balti-
more. The Republican vote is divided
between two candidates, che Demo
cratic vote is concentrated upon one.
If the temper manifested by the vot-
ers of Vermont yesterday is exhibited
all over the country in November in
like manner, 1t is easy to see what
will happen. Illinois gave Taft $780,
900 votes in 1908, it gave Bryan 450,-
900. If the Republican vote is divided
there as 1t was divided in Vermont.
Wilson electors will be chosen by an
immense plurality. Iowa gave Taft
275,000, it gave Bryan 100000. The
rayages of Roosevelt will effect a sim
liar result here. The Progressives
will hope to make a much better
showing in these Western states, but
1t is to be remembered that they
were greatly favored in Vermont by
the marked feeling of hostility tol
Taft because of the reciprocity agree
ment and by the unpopularity Of
Fletcher, the Republican candidate
for governor. Moreover, they made |
a stirring, even brilliant campaign.
This poor result is all that their best J
efforts could yield. 1t must be re-
membered. too, that nothing is more
difficult than for a Vermont Republi-
can to vote for Democrat. 1t viii
be easier in other states.-New York
Times.

Wisconsin's Advance.

The University of Wisconsin has
undertaken to educate the people oil
that state politically. This delicate
task is attempted by means of so
called, package Libraries. The best
available authorities on both sides OF
every important issue are grouped in.
to package together with a bulletin
giving the line which every state of
the nation must follow if our civiliza-
ton is TO be success. Every state
must not only give opportunity for
it's electorate to vote; it must actu-
ally train them TO vote And there
are no better instruments
for this training than the
great state universities which
are coming to bulk so large
in the economic, political and cultural
life OF the country.
We talk about our glorious demo
cratic country. our enlightened repub-
lican government. We may be en-
lightened and glorious in comparison
with other countries, but in establish
ing thoroughgoing republic on our
shores the fathers committed this
nation to line of development so
farreaching that if we stop where
we are our whole history will have
been a meaningless abortion We
aspire to government by the popular
reason: that is the breath of life fol-
which the government we have now
was designated to be the body. We
have at present government by pre-
JUDGE, emotion and sensationalism
At times like the present when an
expression of the great national viii
is impending, many Of us awaken tc
the belief that our government by the
people is no more enlightened thar
is necessary to keep it from being
the football of passions, mean impuls
es and selfish purposes. Most of us
feel incapable to vote intelligently
and the rest of us are actually unfit
OF course the millennium in poll
tics is as far off as in most other
things. But there is room for a good
deal of improvement short of the mil
lennium. And this Wisconsin idea
helps on in the right direction.-Bur

The Result.

Yesterdays election ended one of
the most interesting and at the same
time battling campaigns in the his
tory of the state. Political wiseacres
were not wanting who predicted all
kinds of disaster to the regular repub-
lican ticket. Cooler headed experts
were prepared to admit that the de-
lection of the progressives from the
regular republican ranks would reduce
the normal majority somewhat but
comparatively few thought that ii
would go below the danger mark.
Yesterday shows clearly that a new
danger mark must be adopted for flu
ture calculations; it also indicates the
futility of making a political progno-
sis in such variant conditions.
For the first time in 10 years in a
state election and the first time in the
history of the state in presidential
year Vermont has witnessed the dis.
appearance of a republican majority
This means that the gubernatorial
choice will be determined at the nexl
session of the Legislature under the
constitution. 1t is generally conceded
at this writing that sufficient mum
Der of republican representatives
have been elected to insure the choice
of Mr.. Fletcher by the legislature.
II is undeniable that the detection
from the regular republican ranks in
ured to the strength of the progress
sives. To be sure. there were dem
ocratic gains. but this was to be ex
pected in the light of the unusually
active campaign the old time minority
party engaged In. A curious phenom
enon noticeable in the returns is thai
the disaffection of the progressives
seemed to stop short at town repres
entatives.. Many towns that haC
shown strong progressive tendencies
have elected republican representa-
tives. If the progress had stood fol
all their party leaders urged, ever
this crumb of comfort would have
been denied the regulars-which ma
turally raises the question of whether
progressiyism is more than skin deer
in this state.
The campaign was singularly free
from unseemly abuse and persona
acrimony. Issues were discussed with
an earnestness seldom witnessed anC
their preentation cannot fail of Civ
ing an impetus to the study of the
great questions of the day.-RutlanC

Junction this morning for the first
time, in a presidential year, since the
republican party was founded. The
republican candidate for governor
has a plurality, but he must receive
his election from the republican leg
islature that has been chosen. Mr..
Taft will probably carry Vermont in
November, but the large vote for the
progressive candidate for governor,
drawn wholly from the republican par
ty, is impressive as demonstrating
Mr.. Roosevelt's ability TO cut the re-
publican party OF the United States
squarely in two
The feeling will probably be
strengthened by this election that

of running second in the November
