Another Presidential election has passed into his
tory 1t has resulted in entire change OF pou ca
conditions that will go effect March 4th 1915 Inc
democratic party will for the ensuing four years have
control OF the executive and Legislative bodies OF the
'ensral Government. All the responsibility OF Legislation
Will be thrust upon the party There will be demo
cratic House to any kind of laws that will mee'
simply popular applause with a republican Senate upon
which to throw the responsibility defeat such laws
ana thus make political capital for Democracy The party
WI" have to stand alone and be judged by what 1t does
and not By pretenses. The defeat Of Taft has been a
oregone conclusion. 1t simply question of how big
majority Wilson would get Three entered into
Democratic last Tuesday. The first the spirit
OF unrest among the people that led them to want
change just the it when Cleveland was
elected The second the action of Theodore
Roosevelt in boiling the Chicago convention and becom
ing candidate against the regular Republican NOMINEES
IL was satiate gnawing desire his part to fill the
Office again, primarily and secondly defeat President
latt for the second term. Had Roosevelt secured the
regular nomination the Chicago Conv enon did Mr.
Taft, he would have forgotten the cry of stealing the
nomination for the conditions under which Taft
mated in 1912 practically the as in 1905
when Teddy welded the LASH The nomination
just honest the other re Idly failed in his craving
ambition to be president for the third time but
cessfu in encompassng the defeat of Taft The third
cause for the overwhelming majority for Woodrow vii
son was that thousands of republican voted for him a
rebuke to Roosevelt and from fear that he might run
much better than he did. They did consider him a
safe to fill the office and between the evils they
preferred to vote for Wilson
While have personal preferences before election
and enter into campaign rivalry with eagerness yet the
American people patriotic and place their countay be-
fore party Hence it should be the wish that the
party to come into power will conduct the official
affairs of tho nation bring the greatest good to the
greatest number and keep the country great high
of prosperity, respected by all foreign powers the
pride of al its citizenship
President Taft has apology make for his de
feat He went down of a combination of circum
stances that beyond his the partys control He
has made grand executive. Because he did continue
course of strenuosy and agitation that for the
highest interest of the nation he subjected to the most
unknd and uncalled for criticism. His well balanced
eqnpoise his conservative methods of treating
affairs and his persstency without the band methods
in carrying what hs believed be right will place
him high in the records of presidential achievements an
of which the future will be proud
President Taft has faith in the future of the repub
lican party and his faith is well founded 1t will rise
Phenxike from the ashes of Disaster stronger more de
temned promote the best Interests of the country and
upon another long lease of the high noble ex.
