time in history without New York being on the
winning side candidate for governor one state

ticket with him. The states along the Mexican border
for whom SO many have been shedding tears account
OF the way they raded by Mexcans all gave their
electoral votes to Wilson who abundanty roasted
for allowing these raids and even in California where the
presidents opponents strongest the county nearest

industries by sending their foodsuffs and lumber across
the border to compete with the American products gave
Wilson his biggest vote in that state And besides these
the defeated candidate congratulated his victory

Colonel Roosevelt by far the biggest progressive in the

result was that the state cast its thirteen electoral votes
