That Woodrow Wilson has been re.
elected president of the United States,
and that the Democrats retain con.
troll Of congress, appears assured at
the time this is written.
The Democratic majority in the
electoral college will be small, much
smaller than was expected by the
Democrats and much smaller thar
they had reason to expect considering
the achievements Of the Wilson adj
ministration and the legislation bene-
ficfal to the people enacted by the
Democratic congress.
Contemplating these facts, one is
led to speculate as to whether a great
portion Of the public is tickle or fool
ish. God knows if there was ever
president entitled to the gratitude OF
the masses that man Is woodrow
Wilson, and yet hundreds of thou
sands of those most benefited by Mr..
Wilson's policies and by the legisla-
ton Of the Democratic congress cast
their votes against the Democratic
ticket.
It really seems that the only part
Of the dountry which is really sane
and sensible always is the South. for
the South always has sense enough 10
vote the, Democratic ticket. The
South has learned from experience
that the Democratic side is the one
on which the political bread of the
people Is buttered.
Even tho President Wilson, as 1t
now seems. was reelected by a ma
iority smaller than he and his sup
porters had reason to expect, he &C
complished something that no other
presidential candidate has ever
achieved: Election without the vote
Of New York state.
Only once before was New York's
vote cast for the unsuccessful candi-
date, and was in the memorable
Tilden- Hays contest in 1876. when
the Republida IAN candidate was put int
office by political trickery. Because
OF what is recognized as steal. the
results in that contest are never
considered in making comparisons
Samuel J. Tilden. the Democratic
candidate, received a plurality OF $50,
935 of the plurality vote over R. b
Hays, his Republican opponent, the
vote being 4,2s4.sS5 for Tilden and A.
03y.95O for Hays. In the electoral
t!ollege Tilden was defeated by 49,
to 1874.
The country apparently has reason
to congratulate itself that there were

There never was before in the his

Chicago, Oct. 2S.-Colonel Roosevelt
closed his Western speaking tour here
with two speeches in which he de-
nounced the Wilson Mexican policy
as cowardly, secured the claim the
country had been kept out of war,
and declared a policy that, refused to
protect a nations citizens was base
and sOrdid.
In his afternoon address, delivered
exclusively to women, his assertion
that he would fight at the drop Of the
hat, if need be, brought his auditors
to their feet and the women cheered
and applauded, frequently interrupting
his appeal to maintain their American
ism with force if necessary, with cries
of That's right!'
"How About Germany"
A chorus of cheers delayed his
speech at night.
The colonel was interrupted only
once, a voice from the rear of the hall
calling: How about Germany?' as
he was discussing the Mexican situa
ton.
That's a fair. question:" he an
swered, land I'll tell you Immediately
If I had been president I would have
carried on the government on such q
different basis than the too proud tc

been no trouble"
He repeated he would have seized
every interned German ship ;mmedi
ately after the Falaba and Gulf Light
incidents, and then let the Germans
bargain with on how much he should
concede to them, instead of bargain
