WILSON AS A JOKER.

1t appears that President. elect Will.

ing Post Teported during the cam
paign this story of Mr. Wilson IS meth
cd of capturing an audience. It VIII
he enjoyed by the general public as
an after-elcctiou story fully as much
as it was enjoyed by the audience TO
which he delivered the humorous skit.

an auccdote.

THE PERKY APPOINTMENT.

The appointment of Judge Perky, by
Governor HawIey. to be L. S Senator
from Idaho to succeed the late Senator
Hepburn is the climax of shifting ru-
mors and variable purposes. Governor
Hawloy at first intended to appoint
some gentleman from northern Idaho,
Judge Woods perhaps, a former Salt
Laker, who would have been an excel
lent choice Then there was strong pres
sure brought TO bear for the appoint
mcnt OF former Senator Dubois, which
would have been the ideal appointment,
Succ thc time for which the Governor
can appoint is very short and it is de-
sirablc that Il man who is familiar with
senatorial ways, acquainted with Sen
ators, and we'll informed as 10 senator
ial rules and procedure, should be
named for he. could undoubtedly have
man could do. We think it was a
great mistake on The part Of Governor
lIawlcy not to appoint Senator Dubois
for these reasons, and besides. Senator
Dubois stands high in Democratic couu-
sells and his words have weight among
those occupying the loftiest positions.
No new man could. in The short time
that hc is likely to serve by gubcrna-
lorial appointment, obtain for the State
ouc-tcnth of the prestige and advantage
that Senator Dubois could have con
fcrrcd upon it from the first day ot his
arrival as lis Senator i'm Washington.
Then there was the scheme for Gov
crnor Hawlcy TO get the Senatorship for
himself. by rcSieujug the Governorship
to let Lieutenant. Governor Sweetzcr
succeed to that Office and then appoint
Iawlev to fiji this Senatorial vacancy,
But this WAS sort of shady political
transaction which Governor Hawlcy got
ashamed oC Besides. it offered rare
opportunity for the application of the
old adagc. There many slip
'twixt the cup and the lip especially
since Swcctzcr is Republican aud
Elawley~a Democrat. So Governor Haw-
ley took the safe party course, and
didu II resign. but made the appoint
ment, naming Judge Perky.

Idaho, is a mau Of force Of ability, and

A BIG SOUTHERN VOTE.

II appears from the election returns
that tho vote in the Southern States
this year was immensely heavier than
ever before; and that iu the North the
vote in the aggregate is less than that
cast i'm the Presidential election four
years ago. Mississippi, for instance, re-
ports 100000 majority for Wilson,
which means, probably, about the total
vote of the State. But four Years ago
the State east all told less than $1,000
votes. Other Southern States are re-
ported As gaming in something like the
same degree.
1t is probable that the excellent busi-
ness conditions of thc country have
something TO do with this, because in
many OF the Southern States the voter
must show that he has paid his poll tax
in order to vote; and this year, by rca-
son of the common prosperity, doubt
less. many are ablo to pay their poll
tax who in times past have not been
able to do it; this applying to tho white
vote: for the negro vote is of course
suppressed as usual.
There is no reason in view why there
should have been any specially large
vote polled in any of the Southern
States the present year: for there was
no doubt whatever of the carrying oil
all of those States by Governor Will
son; and there was no advantage IN
giving him larger vote than was
given to Bryan four years ago. Ana
Vet that larger vote was given, probably
exDIaiuablc on the grounds stated,

THE ROOSEVELT GOVERNORS.

It will he remembered that last
February seven governors protested TO
Colonel Roosevelt that their States
were clamorine 10 get him in the field
as candidate for President, They
protested that CATER careful inves.
tigation of the facts they found that
a large majority OF the Republican
voters of the country favored Roose-
welt s nomination, "and q large ma
jority of the people p" "favored his
election as the next President Of the
United States
The seven Governors who signed this
pathetic appeal to the Colonel to 'shy
his castor into the ring were Walter

Of Michigan, Herbert s. Hadlev Of Mis-
The Salt Lake tribune. [volume] (Salt Lake City, Utah) 1890-current, 1912-11-18

The Boston Globe argues (and the
Ogden Standard quotes approvingly,)
that because Col, Roosevelt got more
votes than President Taft did in Ger.
tain Of the States whose delegates we're
contested in the National Republican
convention, aud their delegations given
10 Taft, therefore Roosevelt was cheat
cd out Of the Republican nomination.
A sophisiical fallacy: for it would prove
that any candidate who carries a State.
ought TO have the vote of that State,
whether the delegation was for him or
not. AS applied TO a state, for instance,
IL would prove that Governor Spry
ought TO have had the delegations from
all the counties which lie carried at the
election, and that be was cheated in the
convention in not receiving the votes
of the delegates from those counties

TIE SALT LAKE TRIBUNE MONDAY MORNING. NOVEMBER 49,

souri, Chester II. Eldredge of Ne
braska, Robert 2. Bass of New Hamp-
shire, William T.. Glasseock of West
Virginia, and Joseph NJ. Carey of. Wyo-
ming.
But it is a sure case that somebody
blunderej. 'r Six of these seven States
absolutely failed to respond to the
opinion of their Governors that the
people were hankeriug TO elect Roose-
welt President Of the United states
Not only was there no Charge major
ity' in his favor in the country at
large. or even in their own States, the
majority was decidedly the other way,
except in the one State of Michigan,
aud in that State the Governor him
self deserted Roosevelt when the cam
paign opened.
The case is an illustrative ono, in
which it is clear that enthusiastic
prejudice took the place OF reason in
the minds Of these Governors. Six OF
them were reversed by the popular vote,
and the ono who was not reversed, de-
serted the Roosevelt cause himself, II
might not be expected that these Gov
crnors would have had any particular
information about the desires OF the
country at large, but surely they ought
to have known sometime about pub
lie opinion in their own States, II
this they utterly failed, and are get
ting the lust castigatiou of the pre-
sumptuous one who pretends to know

where the losses amounted to 100000
