STUNG, was the general express
sion of the Roosevelt rooters in
Madison county on last Saturday
when the fact dawned upon them
that the Taft forces had out gen.
eraled them and put m over on
them by calling the county con-
vention for 1890 in the morning,
before the boys from the sticks
could get into town. The Roose-
welt followers had the Taft's beat
en- to a "frazzle" if the matter had
been left to the voters to decide,
but the leaders did not propose to
let the boys run things; they, the
leaders, knew what was best for
the party, the people are only
supposed to vote, as the leaders
tell them, hence the hour of the
convention was fixed at 1890 A. M.

TROLL EY MEN WIN CONTENTION

Yonkers, N. Y, Nov. 12.-The
threatened strike on the lines OF the
Yonkers Railway Company and the
West Chester Railway Company, OF
Mount Vernon and New Rochelle, has
been averted. The men were con-
tending for the right toknow wheth-
er or not the working conditions and
the scale of wages under which. they
were to labor and established by their
organization while the roads were
being operated under receivership
were to be continued. No satisfac-
tory answer had been made by the
management of the company, and the
situation has assumed a critical
stage and suspension of work was i'm
minent. However, a conference was
finally agreed to by the management
of the company. As. a result OF that
conference a, verbal agreement was
entered into whereby any committee
of the organization Of which the men
are memoirs is to be recognized and
also that the working conditions that
had been established and enjoyed by
the men would continue without any
interruption; that the men would not
be Disseminated against in any man
ney by the company on account OF
their membership or activity in their
organization. The agreement gives g
clear victory in favor of the conteh-
tons of the trolley men.

"The campaign Of 1912 has passed.
into history, It will be known in all
the years to come. as the campaign
responsible for the breaking up OF
the old parties, for new alignment
Of political forces, and it will also
be distinguished for the educational
campaign waged by the Socialist par
ty. A great party, the bulwark OF
capitalism, has gone to smash. The
dominant issues of the campaign,
though viciously perverted, were
those first promulgated by the So
cialist party.
"The capitalist papers concede one
million votes to the Socialist party
and about four million to Taft. The
returns on the Socialist vote are
slow and unofficial. BY such returns
great gains are shown in the states
of California, Pennsylvania, Ohio,
Wisconsin, Connecticut, Illinois, Ne
vada, Minnesota, and number OF
others. A safe estimate of the total
is $4,000 straight votes.
