POLITICAL DEATH
FOR WISCONSIN Is
GERMAN VIEWPOINT
Decisive Democratic De-
feat Result of Yer
sailles Collapse
By KARL H. Won WIEGAND
Universal Service Cable.)

BERLIN.-"The American presi-
Dental election confirms the political
death sentence of President Wilson
which already had been pronounced
upon him after his moral and physi-
cal collapse at Versailles"
This was the comment today of the
"Berliner Zeitung Am Mittag." This
comment concerning the election at
noon today, it can be said, concisely
summarizes the German public and
official opinion upon the outcome of
the election in the United States.
The Democratic defeat is not seen
as defeat for Cox, but is seen as the
American peoples crushing verdict
for Wilson and his policy and shows
how they regarded the man who had
allowed himself to be defeated by
England and France.
The German press, which was I'M
der the quiet, but no less urgent in
1uence of the foreign office to keep
hands off the American election" in
order not to give either side an op-
portunity to raise the cry that the
Germans were engaging in propa-
ganda, has been almost absolutely
silent, almost ignoring the campaign
entirely.
But today the entire press features
the election above everything else.
Now that the election is over the
restraint upon the editorial pens has
been released and lively discussion
is already beginning.
There is a general inclination to
express satisfaction at America YER
dict against the Wilsonian policy,
but warning voices are being raised
against the idea of expecting too
much for Germany from a Republi-
can administration, even though
there should be arranged a separate
peace treaty with Germany.
The consensus of views here, es-
necially in official circles, is that
President Harding will inaugurate
an independent Pro-American for
eign policy so far as German and
american interests are concerned
It is not expected here that such a
rolicy would be regarded unfavorably
in America.

the state. In the camraign just
closed that element in Bonneville
county that was associated with the
element that tried to disgrace, him in
the legislature, concentrated all their
artillery fire upon him in an effort
to defeat him, but he was elected.
1t would be too personal to men,
ton any parallel cases that have
come to peoples observation in
Bingham county, but as people re-
feet upon these campaign methods
and activities they can draw their
own conclusions and it is gratifying
to see that that kind of activity usu-
ally brings swift punishment upon
the guilty. 1t generally brings Bit
ter experience to the party attacked,
but people rarely ever die from Bit
terness. they usually live thru it and
come out stronger and in better
position than before they were at
tackled.

QUESTIONABLE sent out year ago in
connection with TIE proposition that
the government take over the rail-

THE REXALL VOTE AN
ACHIEVEMENT

The Rexall stores of the United
States, 5000 in number, have
achieved something out of the ordin-
airy by giving the American people
the election returns in advance.
. Thirty days before the election
they instituted their straw vote, re-
ported daily by wire to their head Of
flee and from there proclaimed the
correct measure of the American
peoples political opinion. Thirty
times in thirty days they flashed the
measure of public opinion as it
stood that day, and variations from
day to day according to the discus
sions that were going on affecting
the public mind, they reported the
true measure to the American public.
The official after-election returns
correspond with the Rexall pre-
election returns, the only difference
being that the doubtful states that
had been on the see-saw for some
time before the election went Re-
publican by very small majority, the
see-saW being in favor of the Re-
publicans on the day of the voting.
If it were desirable to take the
measure of public opinion on another
great question and take it quickly
the Rexall stores could do it for the
government and it would correctly
reflect the opinions of citizens.
The Palace Drug store of Black
foot belongs to the ReXall system
and the large advertisement in this
issue of The Republican will be read
with greater interest because of the
achievement referred to above.

IMMIGRATION FOR
IDAHO'S GOVERNOR

1t should be source Of much sat
isfaction to Governor Davis to be re-
elected by such large majorities after
taking the stand he did on the sew
eral complex questions that con-
fronted his administration and his
candidacy.
Governor Davis was taken advan-
tage of on several campaign matters
wherein the public had every OPP
portunity to be deceived and to hold
wrong understandings of his position.
For instance there was the talk about
his having promised a taXless state
which he never did under the condi-
tons quoted by his opponents. He had
merely told what could be done by
forty successive administrations OF

years. lie Instituted the cabinet form

forward campaign upon the truth of

The results indicate that there are
enough people of the state who have
studied the matter carefully, who
have reached conclusions, are sure
of their decisions and were willing
to stake the future of the govern
ment upon it. A gratifying feature
about it is that they believe as months
and years go on they will see more
and more proof that their decision
was right and that their confidence
in him was not misplaced. The oppon-
ents themselves will see where they
we're wrong and will be ashamed
of the positions they took. The sin
cere ones will be apoligizing for their
opposition to him, for the particular
kind of opposition they made and
for their political associates in the
meantime, for some CT them were
in nowise sincere.

ELECTION FALSEHOODS
BRING OWN REWARDS

A striking exhibition of how false
hoods bring retributiOn on the heads
of the guilty is seen this year in the
attempt of professor, in an Ohio
college trying to injure Senator
Harding. He prepared an alleged
geneology of the Harding family
showing Senator Harding and his
ancestors and brazenly represented
that his great grand parents we're
colored. The story was put out for
what good it might do in guiding
people in the selection of their chief
executive. Some of the opponents of
Senator Harding or rather some of
the opposition seeking to elect Gov
ernor Cox, spent thousands Of dol
lars for printed matter to circulate
that story. In many parts of the
United States they covered large
pieces of territory with this litera-
ture hoping it would defeat Hard
ing. 1t was sprung at the eleventh
hour and the election returns are
the answers to the story. Utah was
enc of the doubtful states that it was
expected might go for Cox and large
numbers of circulars were spread
thruout Utah bearing the geneology
referred to. Utah went Republican.
AS soon as the story came out in
vestigations were made to see If
there was any truth in it at all and
it was branded as false and traced
to the professor of Wooster college,
and his record was Investigated and
it was found that he had held vari-
GUS positions and had been asked to
resign from some of them on account
of his unreliability and lack of in
tegrity. AS soon as this matter was
investigated the trustees of the col
lege demanded his resignation and
now he is out of job and in dis
grace. Harding whom he thought to
president of the United States. Thus
do the serpents spread their poison
along the track they have to trave
themselves.
Similar things have happened in
Idaho and thoughtful people can look
around and see how they have
worked out bringing condign pun
ishment to the guilty ones and in
many cases eleyating those whom
they sought to tear down.
An example is found in the case
of Senator Yeaman of Bonneville
county. He was serving in the Idaho
senate two years ago and members
representing that political entity that
have tried to defeat him, started a
story in Boise that he had accepted a
bride of $4,000 for legislative work.
Senator Yeaman promptly took the
floor and demanded an explanation
and demanded that they prove their
charge. Some of the men who started
the report were appointed on the
committee to investigate and they
later came in with the reTort that
there was no foundation to the story
and that it was started as a joke.
They, of course, were discredited in
the eyes of all men who knew about
it and Yeaman had the sympathy of
everybody. Thruout the present adj
ministration he has been chairman of
the state affairs committee and has
made an enyia5le record in simplify
ing and svstematizing the business of

U. S. A NATION OF NIMRODS.
NOW HAS 100000 HUNTERS
This is a Nation of Nimrods.

This is Nation of Nimrods.
There are 100000 hunters in the
United States, according to the chief
United States game warden in the
Biological Survey, United States De-
partment of Agriculture. This esti-
mate was made from reports on the
lumber of game licenses issued by
tie various states.
In 1919, 100000 state licenses
were issued, and in addition it is es-
timated that 100000 hunters are
exempted under various state provis-
ions. The returns to the State from
licenses was approximately $4,500,-
900, all of which was expended by
the states in administration Of state
laws for the protection of game. This
sum permits the employment of ap-
proximately 1000 salaried state
game wardens and 600 fee wardens.
The congressional appropriation for
Federal warden service for pro-
lection of migratory birds is $142,-
500, which permits the employment
of only 29 salaried wardens.
At its recent meeting in Ottawa the
International Association of Fish,
Game, and Conservation Commits
sions adopted a resolution calling for
hunting migratory birds. The recon-
mendation called for licenses in the
form of special stamps to be issued
by postmasters and attached to state
licenses. 1t was estimated that the
revenue from such licenses would
amount to between $1,O00,O0O and
100000, which could be used for
the protection of game.
