ping act, the child labor law, the pur.
chase of the Danish West Indies and
federal aid for good roads.
The federal reserve law is poten,
TALLY as great piece Of constructive
legislation as any that has been en-
acted In this country. We were abso-
lutely without a financial system, an0
the money OF the nation was In the
irresponsible control Of q few big
banks In New York.
Every attempt to remedy this situa-
ton had failed because private finan.
cial interests naturally wished to keep
their control of the money. The Aid.
rich bill In the Taft administration
proposed to give the sanction Of law
to this private domination, but con-
gress refused to pass 1t.
The federal reserve act simply re-
versed the Aldrich plan and gave the
nation, through the government, the
control Of its own money. n
President Wilson was the relentless
driving force that pushed through the
federal reserve bin and the rest Of the
legislative program.
The electric spark was omitted from
President Wilson's composition, and
this omission denied him a flowing
communication with his fellows, nat
ural limitation which was confirmed
by the life he had led until he was
suddenly thrust into the hurry buriy
Of politics.
President Wilson has been q lonely
figure IN the White House. He came
to the presidency q stranger to public
men, ana no president can make new
friends-real friends. Fl
His reelection was one Of the big
surprises Of our presidential elections.
For several hours after the polls
closed he appeared to have been badly
beaten, and Hughes went to bed with
the assurance that he WIS president
elect.
After an the great Industrial states
which had decided the elections In the
past, except Ohio, had sent In reports
OF Republican victories, the tide was
turned by the far West, which had
been almost forgotten in the reckon

| ests had less influence. At last the
returns from remote hamlets in the

dent By less than 1000 plurality. He

A FTER Woodrow Wilson had been
"A teaching In the classroom for q
quarter Of q century that the presi-
dent ought to be more like prime
minister, 'trying to cooperate with
other human beings" than "a mere
department hailing congress
from some isolated island Of author
ity," the opportunity came to him to
put his theory In practice. When con
gress met In extra session a month
after his Inauguration he walked In
and delivered his message In person,
reviving custom which Jefferson had
stopped only because he happened to
have a poor voice and was an awk.
ward speaker.
President Wilson adopted the atti-
tude Of a sort Of member at large Of
both houses, sauntering unheralded
into the seldom-used presidents room
which adjoins the senate chamber

and talking things over in the open

arousing a personal loyalty to himself
but by the force Of his ideas. II have

Langer Of 100 votes
The vote cast in the city was the

II. p. Goddard, county chairman.
Cops on Guard
There were some circumstances
which we're surrounded by suspicion
but generally speaking the anti-ToWn'
ley forces were pleased with the con
duct. Policemen watched the polls
in the 500 and Northwest hotels, pre-
serving order around those places.
A large Number of the votes cast
for Frazier in the city represent capi
tai employees or employees OF other
state institutions, who have resided
here long enough to cast their bal
lots
LANCER smashed out big victories
in the Fourth and Fifth ward where
"Whisting Eddie Patterson operated
in behalf of the Frazier forces. Pat
terson utterly failed to carry the

Frazier Defeat
LANCER LEADING BY 24S

With five precincts missing at
$3.50 this afternoon, LANCER had
lead in BurIeigh county Of 248
votes. The missing precincts
gave Frazier a majority of IS in
1918, but this year if they run in
the same style as the other coun-
try precincts will gv>. Frazier
less than So majority. Some for
mer outstanding league precincts
are showing a complete turn
over, giving Langer the same ma
iority they gave Frazier in 1918.
The legislative ticket is appar-
emily running little ahead Of
the state ticket. All Of the anti
7ownIey county candidates on
the Nonpartisan ballot are lead
ing their opponents. Leo Morris
and Oscar Trygg are ahead of
Richard Penwarden for register
of deeds. F.. e. McCurdy is run
ming way ahead Of Ed Allen for
states attorney.
The county precincts have bee
counted 'on by Nonpartisan Lacquer
as their stronghold and when they sa'
last night that Langer's lead in tn
city was only $50 they were bettin
money freely, even giving odds. tha
Frazier would carry the county. A
1:30 this afternoon the \onpartisan
conceded the loss of the county, bu

This total includes 30 precincts
out of 4S rural precincts and 80 ori
of the "a precincts in the county.
Ianger will carry the county on the
basis of the proportionate gains ne
is making over the 1918 anti-Townley
vote by majority of approximately
1909 but the last rural precincts re-
ceiyed have been given LANCER an un
expected vote and his majority may
be higher.
Two years ago in these precincts
reported Frazier got 837 votes and
Steen $50 while this year Frazier
got 83j and LANCER 452. Thus, while
Frazier got practically as large VOC
as he did in 1918, LANCER nearly
