by First NJ. p. and six by Ninth. Morris
pitched consistent game. while Madi-

hurt his arm and had to retire, Watson

Too many bases are being stolen on the
catchers. Yesterday twelve were garner

many. The error column still holds it's

ESIERDA1 , GAME.
Post Office IA; Commerce and Labor, 6
Post Office was elevated a notch or two
yesterday, when Commerce and Labor
suffered defeat at its hands, IA to Z.
The game was featured by several
catches by Barnhart, the peerless short
stop OF the winners. He made two pref
ty running catches in deep short OF
drives that were labelel hits, and made a
beautiful stop Of Taylors drive, which
took an ugly bound just before it got
to him.
Again ill luck seems to have lost a bali
game. Heaton retired from the slab In
favor Of Curry. who proceeded to bust
ness. He struck out Kraft and Herring.
and Barnhart also had three healthy
swipes. but Taylor dropped the last one,
and SO Post Office had one man on. Then
came the beginning Of the end. Bases on
balls and drives were registered until
when the dust caused by flying feet clear
ed away Post Office had seven more runs.
Incidentally Kraft in his second attempt
in this inning cleared the bases with an
awful smash to deep left.

The reason why Guggenheim helped to

Rather peculiar situation when a staid
Republican district turns down the old rascal

to practice his rascality
Much has been said about Col. Roosevelt
and the negro question-his luncheon with
Booker Washington has been a sweet morsel
for some Southerners to chew for many years,
III spite Of the fact that Grover Cleveland
went further in his relations with the negro
as an equal than ever Mr.. Roosevelt did-in
spite OF the fact that the South's idol Bryan,
has practised social equality.
On the other hand we have been told what
true Southerner Gov. Wilson is; born in the
South, reared and educated here among us,
we inferred he naturally has the same views
on the negro question that the majority of
Southerners have-the opposite to those Of
Roosevelt.

WOODROW WILSON,

October 16, 1912.
My Dear Bishop Walters:
1t is matter of genuine disappointment to
me that shall not be able to be present at the
meeting on Saturday night, but inasmuch as I
am canceling every possible engagement, in view
OF the distressing assault upon Mr. Roosevelt, I
do not feel that 1 properly add Others 1 am
fulfilling only those to which / have been bound
for many weeks.
1t would afford me pleasure to be present
because there are certain things want to say I
hope that it seems super1uous to those who
know me- but to those who do not know me per-
haps it is not unnecessary for me to assure my
cOlOred fellow citizens Of my earnest wish to see
justice done them in every matter, and not mere
grudging justice executed with liberality and cor
dial good feeling. Every guarantee of our law,
every principle of constitution, commands
this and our sympathies should also make it
easy.
The colored people of the United States have
made extraordinary progress towards seIf-support
and usefulness, and ought to be encouraged in
every possible and proper way My sympathy
with them is of long standing, and I want to
assure them through you that should I become
president of the United States they may count
upon me for absolute fair dealing and for every
thing by which 1 could assist in advancing the
interests Of their in the United States
Cordially and sincerely yours,
WOODROW WILSON.

because he was a ''Southern Democrat" comes

EDITORIAL NOTES
BY j. ID. WATSON

BY j. d. WATSON
RETURNS received up to Friday show that
: the popular vote in Tuesdays election
was: Wilson, 6,191, 866; Roosevelt, 4,19358O;
Taft, 1856, 529; Debs, 795, 600
In 1908 the popular vote was Taft, 1873
sos; Bryan, 6,4O9,104
These figures show beyond any question
that the Democratic party has made no gains
in strength since 1908.
In fact the above figures show that Gov
Wilson's vote is smaller than that received by
Bryan in 1908, though a few States in which
the count has not been completed may bring
the total up to about the same as the Bryan
vote.
The combined vote of Roosevelt and Taft
is a little more than the Taft vote of 1903,
while the vote of Debs is about doubled
There is no way Of getting around these
figures, and there is only one thing that they
prove, and that is that the Democrats owe the
election Of Wilson to Roosevelt, instead of to
the strength of the Democratic party.
Instead Of the strength of the Democratic
party putting Gov Wilson at the head of the
nation, the split in the Republican party did
A solid Republican party would have been
victorious, and we had just as we'll admit the

Republican split, as the cold figures prove.
Col. Roosevelt announces that the Progress
sive party will keep up the fight for the same
principles for which it fought the campaign
just ended-Senator Dixon the Progressive
Chairman, says the same thing-so do the
other leaders Of the Bull Moose clan
Tins means new party is here to stay, and
a new party that can poll four million votes
and come second in the count, is not to be
treated lightly-it is party to be reckoned
with as one of the big parties.
Col. Roosevelts statement to intimate
friends before last Tuesdays election shows
that he did not expect to win this time, but he
did expect to poll bigger vote than Taft,
and meet the Democrats in final struggle in
1916
The Roosevelt popular vote was bigger, and
the Roosevelt electoral vote was bigger than
that Of the President, so we may expect to see
R0oseyelt's prediction plans of 1912 formu-
lated before 1916
Roosevelt has "eaten the very vitaIs out of
the Republican party"-he has completely
annihilated President Taft whom he made
President, and he is not apt to sleep and let
what he has won by hard fight Slip from
him.
If Gov Wilson and the Democratic Con
gress fail to make good, look out for Roose-
welt in 1916.
