A HANDSOME ENDORSEMENT.

The reelection Of Governor Hanna
by larger majority than that of two
years ago Is q handsome endorsement
of the governor and his administra-
tion. The main efforts of the Demo-
Gratis in this state was centered on the
office of governor. A vigorous fight
was made all along the line. and in To-
calities here and there even greater
attention may have been given to 9TH
er offices than that Of governor, but,
taking the state at large. it was the
office Of governor around which the
most active work was done.
In their efforts to secure this COW
eted position the Democrats overlook
ed very little. Attacks of various
kinds were made on the governor, and
in number Of cases facts relating to
his administration were distorted. Ap-
peals were also made on party grounds
voters being urged to put the state in
line with the national administration.

A FEW COMPARISONS.

AT noon yesterday reports had been
collected from 376 out of the 1900
election precincts in MINI esota, this
being about one-eighth of the total.
South Dakota had reports Gun 131 of
her thousand precincts, or 13 per
cent. Michigan had heard f;som 356
out of 1889 precincts. or % per cent.
Illinois had heard from about 25 per
cent of her precincts. At the same
hour The Herald had returns from
40 per cent of the precincts in North
Dakota. An even more marked diff
ference was noticeable in the reports
on the morning after election. The
Herald's figures covered about one
third of the precincts in the state
while the figures from other states

WHERE WE'RE THE PROGREs.
SIVES?

Somewhere in the confusion attend
ant on the election there appears to
have been lost or mislaid one entire
political party known as the progress
sive. What has become of 1t we would
be afraid to hazard a guess, but it
gave very slight indications Of its ex-
istence last Tuesday. The progress
sive party appears to have had the
unfortunate experience of the man
who started at the top of the ladder,
and could therefore travel in but one
direction. The party seems to have
made the distance to the bottom in
short order.
Very few people in North Dakota
appear to have been aware that there
was such an organization, or that 1t
had place on the ballot. In none Of
the western states was there evidence
of the activity of the party. In New
York. where the progressives were to
sweep the state, and where Sulzer
came near running away with the pro-
gressive nomination for governor, the
brief dispatches after election men,
won, and the democratic candidate
who was defeated, and the same old
Bill" who, after all his ups and
downs. came third. but what became
of the bull moose candidate is left to
conjecture. Presumably he was
among those who ran, but just where
he came among the scattering votes
we are not informed.
Two years ago The Herald express
ed the belief that the progressive par
ty would not prove to be q perma.
nent factor in the politics of the ma
ton. The reason for this belief was
the fact that the party was created,
not in response to popular desire
for such a party. or to meet a need
which was recognized by the public,
but as sort of protest against a
specific local and temporary condition,
and because of the insistence of sim
gle individual of great force and i'm
mense personal popularity. The event
has justified this belief. The progress
sive party has dwindled ever since its
creation. 1t has now dropped prac-
tically out of sight. 1t has a few
members. and an organization. Prob
ably the organization will be main
tanned for q time, but not for long,
and soon the new party will be only
q memory.

WOMAN SUFFRAGE.

The size of the vote on woman suf-
frage has been surprise to many
people who expected that. inasmuch as
only affirmative votes on that subject
could influence the result at this time.
not many votes on it would be cast,
and that consequently considerable
majority Of those cast were likely to
be In the affirmative.
Instead Of this, very large proper
ton of the voters voted on this prop
osition. a larger proportion, in fact,
than usually voted on constitutional
amendments or special propositions of
any kind. This Is at least a demon
stration Of interest. The result, of
course. will be decidedly disappointing
to the advocates Of the extension of
the franchise, for most of the leaders
In the movement have been conf

successful in securing a majority Of all

quired for the making of the change.
they would at least have a large ma
jority of the votes cast on the propo-
sition, and would thus have basis on
which to urge on the legislature this
winter the submission of the question
in the form Of a regular constitution
al amendment. Steps in this direction
were taken at the last session. when
proposed constitutional amendment
granting woman suffrage was intro
duced and passed on for the consid-
GRAFTON of the legislature which meets
this winter. BY the result of this cleo
ton the advocates of the change will
be deprived of this argument. as it's
opponents will point to the fact that
by large majority. and in a vote us
large as could be expected under any
circumstances. the voters have al
ready expressed themselves as opposed
to the further extension of the fran

THE ARMY HAS THE AMERICAN
SPIRIT.

Chicago Herald: Lieutenant Gen.
eral Adna r. Chatter (retired), whose
death was reported Sunday from Los
Angeles had typical!y American ca.
reer. Entering the army as a private
lie rose by merit and achievement ia
the highest rank.
This is the typical story Of Ameri.
can success in civil life. That the
same story can so often be told of the
men who have gone highest and
farthest in the American army shows
that the American army is itself q
typically American institution-in-
formed with the real American spirit,
There, as in civil life Il career is
open to talent and perseverance.
There are none Of the distinctions
which condemn man to remain in
the ranks If he has the ability, energy
and ambition to rise. Advancement
may not come as rapidly as in other
lines But the opportunity is there
without distinction.
The history of the American army
SHOWS it has always been in touch
with the national spirit. Those who
have now and then suggested the con-
trary have simply lost touch with the
army. They have made themselves a
mental bogie instead of considering
the American army as it is and has
been.
We have the proud distinction of
having been able to maintain an army
small but efficient, disciplined but es-
sentially democratic in it's opportu-
mites, a. military body without the
slightest suggestion of ntilitaristic ten
dencies, an armed force in which sue
cess is won just as success is won in
civil life.
Let no one imagine that success
thus won has not been richly deserved
The idea that SOME people have that
the life of the army officer is that of
q government pensioner is ridiculous
When success comes it comes as re-
suit Of years of lator and sef-dis-
cipline and proved ability to do ones
job. -
The army has rema ined an essen
tally American institution not be-
cause it was small but because it is
made up of Americans. As long as 1t
is thus composed we shah see it con-
tinue to manifest it's essential agree
ment with American spirit and char
acter

WHAT Is NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.
WORK.
WHAT
HOW RED CROSS SEAL MONEY
MUST BE SPENT.

For the benefit of the numerous or.
CARNATIONS who helped to sell nearly
45,000,000 Red Cross Seals last wear
and for the general public, the Amer
lean Red Cross and The National Asso-
citation for the Study and Prevention
of tuberculosis have framed a defni-
tion of anti-tubereulosis work showing
how the proceeds from these holiday
stiekers are to be used. The definition
limits the expenditure of money only
for the year ending April 80, 1915.
The definition was framed at a re-
cent meeting of The National Assoeia-
ton for the Study and Prevention of
Tuberculosis and states that the term
anti-tuberculOsis work. as it relates
to the expenditure of Red Cross Seal
money shall include the following ac-
Invites:
!. The construction of hospitals or
sanatoria for the care of the tubereu-
lous.
,. The maintenance of the tubercu-
lous x
B. The provision of day or night
camps for the Tuberculosis; the pro-
vision and maintenance of dispensaries
visiting nurses, open air schools, fresh
air classes, or preventoria for the care
or treatment of tubereuIous cases or for
the prevention of the spread of tuber-
culOsis.
i. The maintenance of educational
or legislative activities which have for
their object the prevention of infection
with tuberculosis.
DR.. Charles J. Hatfield, executive
secretary of The National Association
says in commenting on this definition,
''W We hope by this means to prevent
the spending, particularly of small sums
of money, in useless activities, and to
direct the efforts of all anti-tubereu-
losis agencies along the lines which
will produce most results for the money
invested. We are in thorough SYM
patty and cooperation with every
movement for better community or in
