COUNT 'EM--9,l16,2s6--
COUNT EN-

Mr.. Wilson's popular plurality of
2,173,512 obtained under the excep-
tional conditions existing in 1912 COM
pares favorably with other huge plu-
ralities also obtained under exception
al conditions since the opening of the
present century. Mr.. Taft's plurality
in 1908 was 1,269,804 and Mr.. Roose-
velt's in 1904 2,545,515.
Prior to 1900, when Mr.. Mckinley
obtained 849, 790, the largest popular
plurality in history was that given
General Grant, 762,991, in 1872. Buch-
anan was given 496,905 in 1856, Lin
coin 491 1876 the first time and 407 ,342
the second time and Grant 305, ass in
1868. Tilden received 250,935 in 1876,
and Garfield 7018 in 1880. Cleveland
received 62,683 in 1884, 98,017 in 1888,
though defeated by 65 electoral votes,
and 3S0,810 in 1892.
That 9,116,296 voters supported Mr..
Wilson this year is immensely signi-
ficant. 1t means that that many vot-
ers are lined up on the side of pro-
gressive, intelligent politics; that no
party can hope to win in the future on
a platform of reaction, evasion, tariff
graft, machine rule. After some wa
vering, some uncertainty as to where
the truth lay, the sentiment Of the
country has definitely committed it
self to the ideals and aspirations that
took shape within the past few years
reform campaigning.
The chief political interest of the
hour attaches to efforts for reorganiz-
ing the Republican party to enable it
to fulfill at least the useful function
of a party of the opposition. Eight
continuous years of honesty, sincerity
and forward looking aims in the of
fee of supreme power viii end in
visible government and break up and
permanently destroy the old unscru-
pulous reactionary Republican junta.

CAME NATURAL

A Times reporter was somewhat
surprised the other day, as well as
amused, on hearing a friend who was
not suspected of poetic talent, thus
break forth in the following song,
which he recited:
Some people were made for soldiers;
The Irish were made for cops,
Limburger was made for the Germans,
Spaghetti was made for the Wops.
Fish were made to drink water,
Buns were made to drink booze,
Banks were made to hold money,
Money was made for the Jews.
Everybody there is wants something,
But who in the H wants Hughes ?

The Fate of Traitors
 Right here there comes to my mind Ia point which cannot be made too
 strong. About 125 boys have gone
 from this town, and every one of them
 deserves every bit of credit that can dares> to go about this town, or any. other town, casting slurs on the pres ent administratlon, on the wisdom Of certain government activities, even Istatements, the man who dares to do this at this time is taking away from these boys something which belongs tc them. In the army they call such men traitors, and you all know the fate of traitorsi
 Tell the State Council. If any of you know of such people, your country by writing confidential letter to the state council of defense and telling your story. Mark that man, so that when the war is over children will point the finger of scorn at him and treat him as the German army will be treated
 Children Can Help. Even the little children have a part to play. Teach them to save their pennies until they become quarters, and then lend them to the govern
 ment for few years. Every boy who d d behind the lines. a soldier in the sec ond line of defense.
 Teach them the story of the flag, what it means to every American, in still in them that spirit of loyalty which makes good citizens and good soldiers, and which is bound Co strike terror into the hearts of our enemies when they see the Red, White and Blue flying over the trenches of France.
 Cooperation Insures Victory. 1, Now is the time for us to get to- gether. We are preparing now for the great struggle which is bound to come, and cooperation between those at the front and those at home is the only sure way to success. Every man in the army from Gen. eral Pershing down to the lowest prA vate in the ranks calls on you at this time to back them up; and when the great day comes when the cream of
 the American nation goes lover the top," crosses the Rhine and marches
 through Berlin, you want to be able
 to say to the world: T did my bit-I helped the greatest army the world
 has ever seen win the greatest war
 the world has ever known!"
