The National Election
And The Results
Wilson Makes Additional Gains
AS the Final Results are Known

NEW YORK. Nov. 6.-Only the
certainty of few states whose cleo

election of Wilson and Marshall,

the three Presidential candidates.

that will name United States Sena-
tors, held interest in the final returns
'of Tuesdays general election.
The total Of the Republican cleo
toral column apparently was fixed at
the y votes of Idaho, Utah and Yer
mont; but the footing of the Wilson
and Roosevelt columns tlickered al
ternately during the afternoon and
tonight as late returns from Iowa,
Kansas, Minnesoa, South Dakota
and Wyoming gave indications of
change from the results accepted
last night.
On the basis of the latest returns

Iowa, Kansas. Minnesota, South
Dakota and Wyoming placed in the
doubtful column, President elect
Wilson had 3S7 certain votes in the
electoral college, Roosevelt 80 and
Taft II. All other doubtful states
except South Dakota gave more or
less certain indications during the
night of landing in the list of Wilson

turns showed general trend toward
Roosevelt.

TARIFF BOARD RESULTS

There is no doubt but the people of

lation. We fully believe that, as has
been stated, the day of haphazard tar
id legislation, the enactment Of tariff
laws without any investigation, with
out any practical knowledge. and
merely on theoretical or partisan bias,
has passed away.
The function of the Tariff Board ap-
pointed by President Taft, (and he ap-
pointed it on that express idca.) is
based on the idea that the tariff is to
be taken as much as possible out Of
politics, and put upon a practical, bust
ness basis. That is the basis upon
which the Tariff Board has acted all
along, and there i. iD fact. no reason

fording Americans an opportunity tc
protect themselves in case Of a riot ol
turbulence has been almost universally
approved by the American press anc
public,
But the New York Globe docs not
approve of it,. II considers that the
President assumes a serious RESPONSE
bility in thus forwarding arms tc
American residents in Mexico City, and
1t thinks that the arming of the Amer
leans there increases rather than les

shipment will anger the hot-blooded
Mexicans, and that IL any Of them have
had a notion heretofore of attacking
the Americans. that notion will he in.
tensfied on the announcement of the
shipment Of these rifles and the ammu-
milton to use in them.
1t seems to us. on the contrary, that
the President would assume far more
serious responsibility if ne refused to
forward arms TO the American residents
in Mexico; for, with these arms, the
Americans can at least put up n fight
and do something TO protect them
selves. So far as angering the MeXi-
cans against the Americans is con.
cerned, 1T is altogether likely that this
feeling is about as intense AS it can be
already. But we do not think that the
arming of the Americans will cause the
Mexicans any increased desire to at.
tack the American resident in Mexico.
On the contrary, they will be far less
likely to attack them, and far more
wary i'll any demonstrations against
them. 1t is always rule that a mob
is cowardly, and the resistance which a
thousand Americans could make when
armed with the good American rifles
and each with a thousand rounds of

City of Mexico
1t is all very well to think that the
MeXicans are Jealous fighters that their
anger would be aroused by the ship
ment of these guns, and all that sort
of thing. but the fact is that the Mexi-
can anger would be very much more
tempered with discretion when it is
known that the Americans have arms
than it would have been otherwise. The
receipt OF those guns by the Ameri-
cans will at once strengthen the Amer
lean position and warn off all brigands
and mobs with the certainty that death
awaits them if they 90 too far In their

A PLEDGE FOR oDDITY.

made pledge To his constituents as
follows: 81 pledge you that 1 shall
spurn the gay and grating swirl of
Washington society, which has proved
the undoIng Of so many men elected as
servants of the people -
But ii IS IN his ignorance and mex.
perience that Senator Ashurst makes
this pledge. He is not the first to max e
IL. Senator Bailey Of Texas drew the
attention of the society people upon
himself when he first went to Washing
ton. by his declaration that he would
not wear dress suit during his service
in Congress But he fell by the wa,
while. Then there was the "riproar-
ing jeff Davis OF Arkansas, who was
going To .'bust' all Senatorial tradi-
tions, bring the money power 10 its
bring the country ut large back TO a
condition of Jeffersonian simplicity,
But he succumbcd even more readily
than did Senator Bailey. He got right
into the swim, and seemed to forget all
about what he had gone to Washington
to do.
The truth l., that if Senator can.

WHY SHOULD HE FOLLOW?

When the arguments for the Roose
velt candidacy are simmered down
| they result practically every time ii
| sense OF wounded vanity on Roose
| velt S part because President Taft il
not following what is dubbed "the
Roosevelt policies. - The general
charge is that President Taft is not
pushing as he ought TO do the bogus
conservation fads OF Pinchot, Garfield
and Roosevelt. Another is, that he
country life policy. And so it goes
all the time. The wounded vanity re-
ceived a solar pleXus blow when Pres.
ident Taft took the ground that he was
not authorized under the law TO with
draw large areas of the public domain
on the pretense chat they were forest
lands, coal lands, phosphate lands. oil
lands, and on various other pretexts.
President Taft held that, in order to
make such Withdrawals legal, tho Pres
dent would have to be backed by an
act of Congress. In pursuance of such
act, he might make the Withdrawals; !;
otherwise not. The act was passed,
and he made the Withdrawals. This
was a crushing reversal of the Roose-
welt policies, because Roosevelt, as
President, had undertaken to make
these Withdrawals, and. in fact, had
made them, by executive order without
any authority of law.
But why should President Taft fol-
low Roosevelt in any policies what
ever, either of conservation. country
life. or the withdrawal of public lands
Taft is President now quite as much
as Roosevelt was President before him.
Roosevelt, particularly in his second
term, did not feel in the least obliged
to follow anybody's policies. 1t is true
that in his first term he announced
that he would follow President Nc
Kinley's policies, but he did not do it.
He quarreled with most of Mckinley's
friends, and reversed everything that
had done. so far rs he found
it possible to do so. And still he seems
to think, and his friends agree with
him, that Taft is In the Presidential
chair merely as a sort of dummy to
do rs Roosevelt wants him to do. Roose-
welt evidently aspired to be the NOV
ing spirit of the Taft administration,
having Taft do what Roosevelt told
him. In this way, Roosevelt would es-
cape all responsibility, and Taft would
be simply the agent of Roosevelt, re.
sponsible officially for everything he
did, and blamed for all OF Roosevelt S
follies, while Roosevelt would cain all
The credit for whatever good was done.
That would be an intolerable position
for any self-respeeting man. 1t would
degrade the Presidency, would be mere
fakcry, and would put President Taft
IN such humiiating position that he
would not be able to respect himself
Or retain the respect of his friends or
Of the public. And yet, to this de-
graded level Roosevelt desired to re-
luce the Presidency under Taft 5 occu- |
oancy and his own guidance! Failing
% thus lower the Presidency and make |
Taft mere tool of his own, Roosevelt |
,omes out TO defeat Taft and make |
himself President again. with an arbi- |
rary power greater than that Of kings. |
