WILSON'S AMAZING GAINS.

Perhaps now our Republican friends
will shelve their old taunt that Mr.
Wilson Is only minority" President
comments the Star Lincoln was only
a minority President, too, in his first
term. nearly million more votes hay
ing been cast against him than he re-
ceived. yet he has not suffered in his.
tory from that fact. But this year,
with a reunited" (as so loudly pro.
claimed before electoin) Republican
party, President Wilson has received
a plurality of the nations vote esti.
mated at about 100000. The final fig.
ures may increase or decrease this e..
timated amount of the Presidents
popular majority over Mr.. Hughes but
II Is certain that good many more
for his rival, with no third party of
political importance TO draw RepublI.
can votes away.
More than 100000 votes were cast
in this election for the two major can.
didates and possibly million more for
the Prohibition, Socialist and Socialist
Labor entries. Mr.. Hughes increase
over the combined Taft and Roosevelt
vote of 1912 is about $4,000, or seven
and two-tenths per cent. But Mr.. VII.
sons popular vote this year exceeds
his vote four years ago by more than
two and a quarter millions or SO per
cent. The Presidents gains In separ.
ate States are nothing short of amaz.
ing. In 1912 he received, in round
numbers, $4,000 votes in California:
this year he gets 100000. In Idaho his
increase is from $4,000 to $4,000; In
North Dakota from $4,000 to $4,000:
in Ohio from $4,000 to $4,000: in
Utah from $4,000 10 $1,000; in Wyom.
ing from $4,000 TO $4,000. The above
are all normally Republican States.
which Mr.. Wilson carried in this cleo.
ton. In the States where women
voted for the first time the Presidents
gains are even more striking. In Kan.
sas he rose from $4,000 four years
ago to $4,000 this year: In Montana
from $1,000 to $1,000; in Arizona from
1O.00OSto 10000; in Washington from
$1,000 to $4,000. riding to victory In
each of these states also.
Even the states which President
Wilson lost showed remarkable gains

ago. The Republican plurality in
presidential elections, outside of the
Taft-Roosevelt split four years ago.
has not fallen below 2SS,OOO in Penn.
sylvania since 1892, yet this year it is
reduced to $4,000 Republican loss
OF over 100000, while Wilson gained
$4,000 over his vote OF 1912. In New
York State Mr.. Wilson gained 100. 900:
in Illinois, where women voted for
president for the first time. he gained
100000; in Indiana he gained $4,000;
in Massachusetts, $4,000; in New Jer-
sey $1,000.
Mr.. Wilson's popular vote this year
was by far the largest that any candf.
date for president ever received. II
was a vote of confidence in the Presi.
dent which shattered old political land
marks and which only in the north
eastern quarter of the country failed
TO rout the TeaCtionary forces of
Special privilege. One of the most sig.
nificant and important morals of this
election is the warning of future dis
aster which 1t carries to the Bourbon
element In control of the Republican
party in the States which Mr.. Wilson
failed to carry.

creasingly serious Is the 1ast-growing
! conviction that any kind of a general
submarine warfare is intolerable. Ger
many is known to be building sub
marines rapidly and there Is the pos
sibility of starvation campaign
against England. The United States
might find II difficult to avoid compli-
cations.
The American attitude Is flat and
final. Technicalities will be admitted.
Ships must not be sunk without warn
Ing or without provision for the safety
of the passengers on the high seas or
off shore. The armed ship issue will
not be accepted.
Must Gene From Berlin.
The future OF the submarine situa-
ton is felt TO rest entirely with Ger
many. The next step must come from
Berlin. Two possibilities are feared:
Either that Germany will decide she
can starve England by an undersea
campaign or that she may endeavor to
involve this country, and thus insure
the participation in peace conferences
OF generous enemy. Beyond this,
the Lusitania case remains unsettled.
Germany has admitted liability and OF.
fered indemnity. But the delicate
matter OF its amount has not been set.
tied. Attempts made to close the is
sue have been repeatedly blocked by
unexpected new U-boat complications
The ravages of the U-53 off New
England were displeasing to the gov.
eminent. 1t was said that continu.
ance OF the practice would not be per-
mitted, as 1t would constitute a prac.
teal blockade of American harbors.
Relations with the entente allies are
less clear-cut. Sea power has enabled
them through the blockade and imposi-
ton OF the blacklist, virtually TO de.
stroy all foreign trade hostile to them
and divert all American commerce TO
their own uses. Constant belligerent
entertainments on neutral rights have
led President Wilson TO say that neu.
trality is 'Intolerable," war has be.
come so worldwide, SO unlimited as TO
national boundaries. that 1t is no
longer the hostile army, but the hos.
tile state, men, women and children,
with its outposts all over the world,
that is involved.
First, the oldest of the entente allied
restrictions is the blockade, which our
m hag
cause it Is both ineffective and dis
criminatory in favor OF Norway and
Sweden In that 1t does not blockade
tho Baltic and because it attempts to
blockade neutral ports contiguous to
Germany, in which British goods are
allowed to go. The case dates back
to March IL, 1915. and the last note
was the British refusal of April "a.

Fight From Upper River

Davenport will be a party to the
test case of the saloons when it is
brought before the supreme court
This was decided at a special
meeting Of the city council AT
that time resolution, instructing the
city attorney to file papers of inter
vention, was passed. The resolution
was suggested by Attorney Louis
Block, representing the contesting sa.
loon men. This resolution was sug-
gested as follows:
Resolved, That the city attorney OF
the city Of Davenport be and he is
hereby authorized to intervene in the
three liquor law test cases now pend
ing In the district court Of Scott
county, Iowa, and take such steps
therein as may be necessary for the
protection Of the city's interests and
its revenues, such intervention to be
without expense to the city"
Alderman Charles Lindholm of the
sixth ward said:
i suppose as chairman of the f.
nance committee it becomes my duty
to make the motion for the passage of
this resolution"
and called for second. It was then
put and passed the council without dis
senting vote. At the meeting were
present all aldermen with the excep-
ton Of Al Hartwig of the fourth ward
and Fred Waterman of the fifth. Mr..
HartwtS had been in the chamber
early, but owing to the delay in call
ing the meeting, because Mayor Meul-
Ter was detained for the time, Mr.
Hartwig left
There are three test cases before
the supreme court Mr.. Block said in
addressing the council before the reso-
luton came to vote. ''It is our pur-
pose to give the law as thorough a test
as possible. One proposition is the
fve-year consent. The people voted
in favor of that and we claim they
are entitled to the revenue derived
from the saloons. But when we raise
that point the supreme court will say
that this is matter for the city to
decide We should like to have the
city of Davenport party to that case
on this account
1t was stated by Mr.. Block that it
was merely a technical appearance on
the part of the city and that the pro-
ceeding would not cost anything The
resolution which Mr.. Block had sug-
gested was approved by City Attorney
Lambacr.
It is understood that the case will
come before the supreme court in the
near future The liquor men will fight
the case on several points, but it is
understood the petition OF consent
agreement win be the principal one.
They will argue that there is a bind
ing agreement between the city of
davenport and the state of Iowa COW
ering a space Of five years. The state
has failed, it will be contended, to
carry out it's part Of the agreement.
The answer to this by the state is
that the prohibition law has never
been appealed and that this agreement
if any, was drawn without legal
foundation.
