The Lynden tribune. [volume] (Lynden, Wash.) 1908-current, 1916-11-16

jackson won the presidency by
combination of the south and the new
west. Wilson has been reelected by
a combination of the solid south, Ohio
and the newer far west.
Party Lines Apparently Shattered
Party lines were bent and shattered
by the complicated issues of the cam
paign, but mostly in favor of the dem
ocrats. The president received much
support from progressives, yet he also
carried that citadel of the republi-
cans. Utah. one of the two states won
by Taft in 1912.
In 1912 Wilson was elected with
100000 fewer votes than the repub-
lican and progressive poll combined.
In 1916 he was elected with 100000
more votes than the republicans and
reaffiliated progressives. Bryan. in
1896, poIled larger popular vote than
any democratic candidate for the pres
idency in the history of the country
until Wilson, in 1916, exceeded that
high-water mark by more than 2,000,-
900.
Women voters in II states took
part in the presidential election. Ten
of these states were carried by Presi-
dent Wilson and two by Charles E,
Hughes. Washington, California, Ari-
zona, Idaho, Montana, Utah, Colorado,
Wyoming, Kansas and Nevada are the
equal suffrage states which gave their
electoral vote to President Wilson,
while Oregon and Illinois are the two
states which went for Hughes.

WEST PUTS WILSON
BACK IN OFFICE

New York.-The tension of the
most dramatic situation in the politi-
cal history of the United States was
broken when California swung defin-
ltely into the democratic column fol
lowed by New Mexico, New Hamp-
shire and North Dakota, thus insur-
ing the reelection of, President VIII
son and Nice-President Marshall. The
result in Minnesota. the other doubt
iul state, indicated a very small ma
iority for Hughes. The controlling
factor in Minnesota was the vote OF
the 213s National guardsmen now on
the Mexican border, and the official
count by the state eanvassing board
will be necessary to definitely deter
mine the result
In round figures, unofficial returns
show Wilson's lead in California about
1000; in New Mexico, about 2300; in
North Dakota, about 1900; in Mime
sofa, Hughes lead about 200, while in
New Hampshire there is a margin of
So for Wilson.
West and South Elect Wilson.
Mr.. Wilson is the only president
ever elected with the solid east
against him. His victory was believed
by politicians to presage an alignment
for the first time in congress of the
west with the south. 1t was pointed
out that while he would not have "a
working majority in the lower house,
he would not have to combat major
ity inimical to his policies.
For the first time since Andrew
Jackson, a democratic president has
been reelected in succession to him
self. For the first time a president
has been elected without the vote OF
New York For the first time Maine
went republican in September and the
country democratic in November.
