Jamestown, Mass:
ELECTION returns conelusively demon
strate that your victory at the polls is
clear and decisive. You have carried
two thirds of the states of the union.
The forces of your administration have
brought you approximately 2,266,6l4

elected in 1912. This is the greatest in
crease given to an American president
for a second term since the Civil war
Your vote last Tuesday was 2.060 70S
more than ever previously received for
Democratic candidate and, despite char
acter of opposition, is the largest vote
ever received by a president from the
people of this country-952, ,955 more
than the total Taft Roosevelt vote of
1912. You have a popular plurality of
4O3,3l2, according to bulletin received

COMMEND CHOICE OF WILSON.
English Press Thinks Him Well Suited
to Carry on the Part.

| London, Nov. lin an editorial on
the result of the presidential election in
| the United States, the Daily News re-
CARDS President Wilson's election as a
triumph both for his personality and
his policies. The newspaper adds:
in this country it is inevitable that
predominant stress should be laid on
President Wilson's attitude towards the
European war and it will be learned
with general relief that the United
States will be guided in the four critical
months ahead, not by a defeated, but by
a recommissioned president.
'We have never disguised our convic-
tion that Mr.. Wilson is qualified, as is
no other American statesman, to guide
the destinies of his country at this time
and particularly in the field OF domestic
policy, and we desire as little as possible
to disguise our satisfaction that the
reins of power are to remain in his ca
pable hands"
The Daily Telegraph says: "It is clear
that whatever his difficulties with do
mestic affairs may be, a man of President
Wilson's character has now the opportu-
nifty of giving new weight to the influ-
ence of the greatest neutral nation-the
most powerful trustee of the interests of
humanity in connection with the world
war. If he can be sure of a majority in
Congress he can be sure of decisive sup
port for clear and vigorous line of
policy with regard to those questions of
American rights which have most pro-
foundly stirred the minds of his country
men and we do not doubt that the second
Wilson administration will approach that
part of its task with purpose re-empha |
sized and firmness reinforced
