Among business men generally there
was hope that the next administration
might be protective administration,
but the failure OF the Republican
party to win is not seemingly arous
ing feelings Of uncertainty as to the
future on this score, the idea seems
to prevail that President Wilson's
first years experience with & low
tariff was of sufficient warning to him
and his party to make due prepare
ton against the end of the war, when
Europe will be anxious, more than
anxious to recover the money she
has been sending to us across the
waters in the past two years. With a
Republican House the President will
be in no position to dictate to con
gress, but, on the contrary, must be
governed in his policies somewhat
hy the spirit of compromise. 1t is
therefore unlikely that the country
will see for two years at least any oil
the evidences of which House domi-l
nation, such as was manifested ia the
passage of the Adamson act and
other socialistic legislation consider
ed inimical to sound business of the
country, outside of the solid south,
wheu political sentiment can alwaysl
be weighed, measured and counted in
advance and where the electoral vote
means nothing as far as real endorse
ment of policies are concerned, Presi.
dent Wilson is minority president
Even the northern and western states
carried by him we're won by small
pluralities. This is not said for the
purpose of discounting his victory,
bu9 to simply show what he and his
party leaders must realize that the
outside the solid south has
not endorsed his policies. Recognize
Ing that and being governed by prec.i
dent in the matter of third term 4
Is unlikely that the president will
show the Facilitating spirit of his first
term but will take great interest in
those things which are for the good
OF the country as q whole.
