THE RESULT.

Governor Wilson wins the Presi-
dency through the division of his nat
ural opponents. He did not inspire
enthusiasm or show himself a strong
er candidate than Mr. Bryan. He
owes his victory not to superior pub
lie confidence in himself or the Dem
ocracy, but to Mr.. Roosevelt's desire
to wreck the Republican party the in
stant he could not rule ii. Inspired
by overweening ambition and person.
al animosity, Mr.. Roosevelt turned
against the party which had given
him the highest honors and through
which he had obtained his mar
velous hold on the popular magma
tion. It's leaders and policies were
the leaders and policies which he had
long commended, and he stood ready
to take a nomination from it if he
could. But when 1t declined to de-
part from its historic traditions of
loyalty to representative government
under fixed constitutional guarantees
and an Independent judiciary and
take up radical and revolutionary
doctrines which he had opposed
along with it until he saw in them a
suitable instrument of personal ag-
grandizement, he devoted his ener-
gies to tearing down the structure
built by Lincoln. Seward, Grant, Gar

been the home of liberty and CON
structive statesmanship. He has

But in the eyes of the world such
fame, with its trail of abandoned

for the universal admiration for a

great things and performing great
services, retired to private life COM
mending to the people the wisdom OF
the tradition which forbade that he
should again be President.
Mr.. Taft in his defeat may justly
feel satisfaction in having achieved
something greater than a reelection.
He has stood faithful to principle. He
has held the Republican party true
to its noble traditions. He has pre-
vented the judicial power of the
country from being made subservient
to the changing whims of tempor-
airy majorities. He has preserved to
the powerless the guarantees of per-
sonal liberty against the tyranny OF
passion. He has moved serene amid
misrepresentation and abuse, dis
charging his duty as he saw it and
refusing to do anything for spectacu-
lar political effect at time when
demagogy was in demand. He will

THE DEMOCRATIC VICTORY.

No one will begrudge our friends
the Democrats the pleasure they are
deriving over their victory at the
polls. Nor will any one wish any
thing save the best of good fortune
and success in his conduct of affairs
to President-elect Woodrow Wilson.
He is able, clear-headed, upright,
no political past to rise up and
plague him. And while his lack of
experience in political affairs will be
a handicap to him, at the same time
his freedom from political entangle-
ments should be of great benefit.
tration Of affairs should not be con-
Quoted on a high plane, to the best
interests of all the people, provided
he and his party leaders act wisely,
and with extreme caution in the
matter of tariff revision, and hold
the incoming Democratic congress in
check accordingly.
The Progressives are also to be
congratulated on their success in
winning votes. AS they could hard
ly have hoped for success in the cleo
ton, they are therefore not greatly
disappointed. Indeed the purpose of
their leaders, as indicated by them,
was not so much to win the election
of Roosevelt as to prevent the re-
election of President Taft and the
continuance of the Republican par
ty in power. In this they have sue
satisfaction as they can derive from
this fact. The Republican party
was defeated, not by the Democrats,
but by Col. Roosevelt and his fol-
lowers. When the excitement has
died away, and the magnetism of an
attractive personal leadership has
become dulled, and sober second
thought in the face of a Democratic
administration has taken the place
of sincere but mistaken impulse, the
great body of Republican voters, who
hoNt lOl tlit lllIlt DtlHS DtGu leu
away by the noise and glitter and
promises of the new party, will drift
back to the old safe and permanent
party home. For the Republican
party will continue to be as it has
been for generation, one of the
great parties of this country, with &
record of splendid achievement be
fore it as well as in the past.
Let us cherish no resentment ol
i'll will, but set about to reform oul
ranks, and make ready for future
success, welcoming all who desire t
enron under our banner and partici
pate with us in the work which W,
shall do to make this country o
prosperous and contented people.

Governor Wilson. He issued the
following statement from his broth
er's home here.
The returns insure the election OF
Governor Wilson to the presidency.
This means an early change in the
economic policy of the government
in reference to the tariff If this
change can be made without halting
prosperity, l sincerely hope 1t may
be.
The vote for Mr.. Roosevelt, the
third party candidate, and for Mr..
Debs, the Socialist candidate, Is a
warning that their propaganda in
favor of fundamental changes in our
constitutional representative govern
ment has formidable support.
While the experiment of a change
in the tariff carried out by the
Democratic administration, it be-
hooves Republicans to gather again
to the party standard and pledge
anew their faith in their party's
principles and to organize again to
defend the constitutional govern
ment handed down to us by our
fathers. We must make clear to the
young men of the country who have
been weaned away from sound prin-
ciples of government by promise oi
reforms, impossible of accomplish.

vices. In the mean time, Washing
ton had announced that he desired
no salary. Varying views as to the
amount of the salary were held by
the members Of the 1st Congress, the
suggestions ranging from $4,000 to
$4,000.
The sum finally agreed upon was
$4,000, and this remained the COM
pensation until President Grants sec
ond term, when 1t was increased to
$4,000.
At the second session of the 59th
Congress an act was passed appro-
priating $4,000 for travelling ex-
penses of the President of the United
States, to be expended at his discre-
tion and accounted for by his certifi-
cate solely"
In the second session OF the Goth
Congress the salary question again
came up. 1t was finally decided to
fix the amount at 1000, and dc
away with the special appropriation
of $4,000 for travelling expenses.

WAS 1T WORTH WHILE?

More in sorrow than in anger,
more with a feeling of sympathy
than of condemnation, we would like
to ask the leaders of the progress
sive party whether they are entirely
satisfied with their work which cul-
minated Tuesday in the wreck of the
Republican party and the defeat of
William II. Taft.
Mr.. Roosevelt and his followers
began on the assumption that they
could convince the voters of this
country, in times of prosperity, that
a nation was being badly treated,
that there was great lack OF JUS
tice, that the rights of man were
being invaded, that the rights of
women were nil, that generally the
country was on the verge of damna-
tion and that Mr.. Roosevelt and Mr..
Johnson were the only persons who
could save it from perdition.
In the campaign which they have
conducted very hard blows have
been given and taken. Mr. Roose-
welt has entirely changed his visiting
list. He has broken practically all
his friendships of a lifetime, and he
has fallen in his ambition to have a
third term as President. He has
caused numerous of his newer
friends to spend their private for
tunes like water, and he has created
feeling of distrust of American in
stitutions in the minds of a large
number of persons.
But, fortunately, that large num-
ber of persons is a very small mi
nority of the total citizenship of the
United States. The constitution still
stands, the government still lives
and it is to be hoped that course oi
prosperity will continue.
Was it worth while? Out of the
wreckage of the Republican party
the progressive party cannot be bull

derlying principles. Those who have

MEN PICKED FOR WILSON CABI-
NET,

Princeton, N. j., Nov. 6.-Choice
of his official family''-the cabinet
faced President-elect Wilson to-
day. 1t is known that Wilson has
made no promise or pledge.
But leading Democrats said sever
al appointments were considered as
practically settled. These are:
William ]. Bryan as secretary of
state.
DR.. Harvey w. Wiley, former chief
chemist, as secretary of agriculture.
Louis D. Brandels, the Boston at
torney, as attorney general.
William G. McAdoo, vice chairman
of the Democratic National Commit
tee, is also slated for cabinet port
folio, either as postmaster general
or secretary of war. Joseph Dan
iels, national committeeman of
North Carolina and chairman of the
Democratic publicity bureau, is also
regarded as a likely choice for post
master general.
Chairman McCombs, of the nation
al committee, it is reported, will not
be called to the Wilson cabinet, but
will be taken care of in some other
capacity if he desires. His health is
poor and he is expected to avoid any
heavy or confining work.
Cabinet Place for Palmer.
For secretary of the treasury, Rep
resentative A. Mitchell Palmer, Will
son leader in Pennsylvania, or Rep
resentative William C. Redfield, of
New York, are generally regarded as
leading in Wilson's consideration.
Redield, who retires from the house
March 4, is also talked of for secre-
! tary of commerce and labor. Labor
| Commissioner Charles p. Neill is
also a possibility for that portfolio.
Representative Burleson, of Texas,
! campaign general of Wilson, is gen.
orally considered assured of cabi-
net job, with chances favoring his
taking the navy or interior depart
ment desk
Tom Pence, newspaper correspon-
dent and Wilson publicity man, is
talked of for secretary to the presi-
dent. Mayor Newton Baker, of
Cleveland, is another thought to be
considered for the job of little
president"
Several senator's, including O'Gor-
man, of New York; Luke Lea, OF
Tennessee; Gore, of Oklahoma; Ray
ner, of Maryland; Gardiner, OF
Maine, and Culbertson, of Texas
have been mentioned as cabinet pos
sibilities, but it is generally believed
that Wilson will not recruit any cabi.
