LOOKING TO CUMMINs.

Chicago Tribune: The only hope
of the depleted republican ranks
lies in such men as Hadley of Mis-
souri, and Cummins of Iowa.
Wilson captured both of these
states. Hadley, however, was earn
estly supporting Taft, while Cum.
Minis, though announcing his repub-
lican faith, supported Roosevelt be
cause he believed he had been, de-
prived by theft of the nomination to
which he was justly entitled.
Then there is also LaFollette OF
Wisconsin, Gronna Of North Dakota
and Works of California. Natural.
ly the defeated "old guard" would
not accept the leadership of LaF'ol-
lette or his disciple, Gronna. Works
manifestly is incapable of active
leadership. Hadley has shown
vaciliation.
1t is to Cummins during the COM
ing winter that the reactionaries
will turn, asking him to draw them
from the quicksands in which they
and the party they owe such signal
honors are being engulfed.

ELECTION AFTERMATH.

Sioux City Journal: The election
of Gov. Wilson, democrat, to the
presidency of the United States is as
logical as any political development
could be. 1t was arranged for at the
second Chicago convention, when
Theodore Roosevelt, boiler from the
republican national convention, had
himself nominated as the candidate
of a third party whose charter mem
bers were boiling republicans. No
sooner was the republican party di-
vided into two sections than the
election of the democratic presiden-
tial candidate was assured. The or
binary certainty of democratic sue
cess could be averted only by an ex-
traordinary failure to recognize an
opportunity on the part of the rank
and file, or by some unusual blund-
er of leadership on the part of the
candidate. Neither of these things
happened. Democrats generally
have not needed the finger of Roose-
welt reckoning them into a party
dominated by former republicans.
And the democratic candidate for
president has been discretion itself
in making his campaign. There has
been talk of a miracle by which the
Roosevelt party would be swept in
to a majority of the electoral col
lege. Instead of miracle, the or
binary logic of politics worked itself
out. There have been intimations
that even if Roosevelt failed to win
a majority Of the electoral votes he
would secure the support of enough
states to leave Wilson without a
and throw the election in
to the house. This phenomenon has
not occurred. In most of the states
whose electoral votes were import
ant the fact that republican candi-
dates divided the republican vote
was sufficient to give the support Of
the state to Wilson.
The Roosevelt third party move

There is at least two states Roose-
welt lost because third state tickets
were nominated in opposition to the
republican primary nominees-Illi-
nois and Iowa. There is no doubt of
this in the minds of anybody except
the few politicians who forced the
third state tickets upon the people.
The result shows that nearly two
thirds of the Roosevelt supporters
in these states did not support the
progressive state tickets, hence it is

ment has been successful in retiring
Taft at the end of his first term and
throwing the republican party into
state of complete disorganization.
What is to become of the third par
ty movement remains for later dis
closure. The disastrous defeat of
Roosevelt in New York state would
seem to end any rational hope for
another bull moose candidacy in
1916.
Dubuque Telegrap PHI Herald: Events
have broken fortunately for
the Democratic party. Mr.. Taft as
president has been unable, try as he
would, to avoid making serious
bluaders. Everything he essayed to
do he did wrong. But he never had
chance Of reelection from the time
Of his delivery of his Winona
speech. Mr.. Roosevelt's sincerity
has been questioned too generally
for him to get the confidence of the
country. 1t has been considered
that his hands We're not clean, that
when it suited his purposes he made
deals with bosses and when he need
ed the money of "rich malefactors'
he got it.
Times-Republican: Whatever the
result may have been of the Roose-
welt campaign so far as victory or
defeat of Colonel Roosevelt is con-
cerned, the campaign has been
worth while. 1t has injected a new
element into politics-the human
welfare element. Whether the pro-
gressive party lives to grow strong
or fades into other parties the plat
form of the ex-president and his bull
moosers is immutably fixed. The
welfare planks in it will stay in
American politics. Other parties
may dismantle the bull moose plat
form but the material which consti-
tuted it will be nailed down in other
platforms for other candidates to
stand upon in other campaigns. The
Roosevelt campaign has been and
will remain a splendid contribution
to the future.
Register and Leader: 1t was SO
plain that the republican party
could not divide it's vote between
two candidates and win, that every
body was prepared for the result, al
though perhaps nobody had contem-
plated quite so overwhelming a
slump.
-Four weeks ago, when Mr.. Bryan
said he would not concede single
state to either Taft or Roosevelt he
was justified by the figures of pre-
vious elections. Conceding to Will
son the democratic vote, there was
not state in which reasonable
between the other candi-
dates would not give the electoral
vote to the democratic column.
The one chance to defeat Wilson
lay in the possibility that the pro-
gressive movement would make as
much inroad into the democratic as
into the republican vote. Two years
ago, before the democrats had tasted
blood in the election of democratic
a progressive movement
would have divided the party. II
Mr.. Roosevelt, Immediately on his
return from Africa, had raised the
flag third party might have sprung
from both the old parties. like Jupi-

President Taft showed his lima
ture when upon the night of cleo
ton he warned the country against
the forces that supported Roosevelt
and Debs. But even Mr.. Debs would
not be guilty of stealing a nominal
ton or of accepting a stolen nomin-
alton at the hands of the bosses. The
great menace to popular govern
ment is the disregard Of popular ex-
pressions at the ballot box.

What the larger half of the re-
publican party which supported
Roosevelt this year will do in the
future depends entirely upon de.
velopments. II the republican par
ty adopts the principles proposed in
the progressive platform it is likely
the supporters Of Roosevelt will be
back in the fold at the next nation
al election. Otherwise they will
probably remain a distinct party Or
ganization.
Webster City freeman. [volume] (Webster City, Hamilton County, Iowa) 1884-1946, 1912-11-12

absolutely certain that the state
tickets were forced in defiance of
the wishes of Roosevelt's supporters.
That is another instance where the
bosses turned down the people.
At every election it is demonstrat-
ed that small percentage of voters
do not know how to properly mark
the ballot. Probably ten per cent
are not we'll Informed upon this
matter. Why wouldn't it be good
idea to teach the method of mark
ing the ballot in the high school,?
This is one of the essentials in a
popular. government and the young
man casting his first vote ought to
know exactly how to do it.
The future of the republican par
ty depends entirely upon what those
who are in control of it's machinery
do. If the party gets rid of the
mossback element, favors president
ial preference primaries and shows a
disposition to do as the rank and
file demands, it may be back in
the saddle in four years. If the
leaders do not grant these things
the party will stay out in the cold
until new leaders take possession of
the craft,

1t is the judgment of many well
informed politicians that but for the
candidacy of Senator Kenyon the
Iowa legislature would have been
captured by the democrats. There
is no doubt but that the senator is
stronger in Iowa than any faction
of the republican party. He is the
sort of man in whom the people
have confidence and the Freeman
Tribune believes he will grow in
popular favor as the state becomes
better acquainted with HIM. No
man in the history Of the nation ev-
err created a better impression in so
short a time in the United States
senate. ...

There is considerable talk in po-
litical circles that w. J. Bryan will
be secretary of state in President
Wilson's cabinet. AS such things
go Mr.. Bryan is entitled to the hon
or. To him more than to any other
one person Mr.. Wilson owes his
nomination. Moreover, Mr.. Bryan is
the most popular democrat in the
United States. However, 1t has
been intimated that he may not ac-
cept any position under the incom-
ing administration, as he may want
to be free to become a candidate for
the presidency in 1916. Mr.. Bry-
an has never been tried in a posi-
tion of great responsibility and no
one knows whether or not he would
come up to the expectations of his
friends. 1t is one thing to crate
with ability, to tell how things
ought to be done, and quite another
thing to do them.

President Taft has warned Presi-

the tariff. Mr.. Taft knows what an
extra session did to him, but his ad-
vice to Wilson is unnecessary. De-
mocracy, now that it is assured of
a seat in the saddle, will not be SO
vociferously in favor of a tariff for
revenue only. Such men as Wilson
know such a policy would bring
disaster upon the country and they
can be depended upon to stear clear
of it. Tariff for revenue only is al,
right as vote getter. It sounds
like square thing. But in prac-
tice it is veritable two-edged
