The Victory of Hughes

I RON study Of all the dispatches received
1 up 10 the time we 30 to press. it appears
virtually certain that Woodrow Wilson has
been defeated. The Times Dispatch will not
even pretend to accept with cheerfulness or
equanimity the verdict rendered at the polls
yesterday, by which Charles Evans Hughes
WAS elected President Of the United States.
TO this newspaper the result is a bitter dis
appointment result which cannot fail to
inspire dark forebodings.
Victory was won for the Republican candi-
date by appeals TO every prejudice. and that
such appeals should prove successful is more
disquicting and more menacing than any
other feature OF the election. President
Wilson's efforts TO adjust. with peace and
honor. the great issues nov pending with
foreign countries are rendered more difficult,
if success in them has not been made i'm
possible.
1t is ii time. however. when every true
American should reconsecrate himself TO the
service OF his country. for the country will
have need OF him. Divided loyalty, en-
cQuraged by the Republican campaign. will
be more encouraged by the Republican
triumph. The future holds many difficulties
and many dangers. |, is for those Of us who
hold fast to the ancien, faith Of the fathers
10 stand on guard.
