DENU, HAROLD J. DANE, Editor. A man named Glue has recently “been elected to office in an eastern state. We predict he’ll stick. Anyway Mr. Taft can point with pride to the crops raised during the fourth year of his administration. It all those charges of traveling with dynamite in the ‘Indianapolis cases are proved, it’s a cinch that the public will be tempted to do more walking and less railroading here- after. That Colonel Roosevelt will dis- cover befoore very many months that ‘Woodrow Wilson knows a heap more about practical life than for which he has given him credit, there is not the slightest doubt. Of course Mr. Moon wants the of- fice. So does Harris. Moon thinks that a count of five is not big enough to offset all the mistakes that might have happened, so he’s going to make them count it over. Harris don’t care whether they do or not. He’s satisfied with' the first count. Go to it boys, get all the votes you can, but next time don’t wait until after election is over. Would Never Have Happened. Had the street light on the corner of Fourth street and America avenue been a tungsten and lowered to where it ought to be, the accident that oc- curred there Friday evening would never have happened. To be true, it was not a serious accident, but the city should, in order to avoid future accidents, insist that the lighting system be changed from the little dim incandescent to a bright shining tungsten. The Warfield Electric company furnish the globes and light for these lamps at the cost to the city of $1.25 a month. These thirty- two candle power incandescent lamps cost very little less than do'the tung- sten at the new. prevailing prices and use far more current. In the face of numerous objections heard regarding thse lights, the city council could not do a more popular thing than to instruct the Electric company to in- stall the Tungsten and lower them before the long winter nights are over. The One Term. (From the Ohio State Journal.) The Baltimore platform, on whic"h Wilson was elected, is in favor of a single term for the president. ready an effort is being made to an- tagonize that idea, and leave tlgfi way open to Mr. Wilson in 1916. Better carry out the sentiment and the platform. There is a strong rea- son for the one-term limitation. Politics is altogether too anxious. Better wait for a couple of years to see how Wilson gets along. Better wait, also, to see how the Republican party gets along. Maybe in that time the Republican party will get together, which will doubtless be the case it the pugnacious leaders are brushed aside. Then there will be hope for the Republican party. Besides, it should be remembered that Mr. Wilson is a minority presi- dent;. that a majority of the people voted against him. We refer to ii in no slurring sense, but simply to characterize the effort to.neutralize the one-term resolution of the Balti- more convention as inopportune and foolish. - We would not mourn if Mr. ‘Wilson made such a good president that he would be re-elected unanim- ously. Politics is not the reigning consideration; the welfare of the people is. We had better” wait to - see the effect of the Democratic.party on the president. “It 18 a pleasure to tell you thi Chamberlain’s cough Remedy is th best cough medicine I have.-ever used,” writes Mrs. Hugh Campbell of Lavonia, Ga. .“I have used it.wi all my children and the results hay been highly satisfactory.” For nl by Barker’s Drug Btore.e-Ady, ICE SKATING The healthy out .door exercise that gives that red cheeked look to chxldren and grown ups. | To Enjoy SKATING You:Need GOOD SKATES and SHOES To fill this want we have st_ocked a com- plete line of Winslow- Skates -in rocker and hockey styles, and Rice and Hutch- ings Skating Shoes with ankle supports inside Shoes . . .

It will be impossible to determiue exactly how many there are of these until the new congress meets and the members in question declare by their caucus affiliations to which party they belong. In the First Ohio district the fight be- tween Longworth (Rep.), son-in-law of was so close that it was in doubt for several days. Among those who went down-in the landslide” were Uncle Joe Cannon and ‘William B. McKinley, Taft's manager, in IDlinois; Ebenezer J. Hill in Con- necticut and other warhorses of the Republican ty. Victor Berger. the lone Socialist member, was defeat- ed, although the Socialists throughout the nation showed surprising gains, practically doubling their vote.

Roosevelt, but 1t is claimed that the.electors are pledged to Taft. > ; 8o far as mere numerical majority 8voes, this is the most:decisive vote in ‘the history of . the _electoral college. This is partially due to.the fact, how- ever, that the college 18 now much larger than ever before. --Washington received the unanimous vote of the electors, and- ‘Monroe all .but one. Among other ‘decisive results in the past may be mentioned the following: “|In 1832 Andrew Jackson received 219 electoral votes to 49 for Henry Clay, 11 for -John Floyd and 7 for William Wirt. In 1840 William Henry Har- rison had 234 to 60 for Martin Van Buren. - In 1852 Franklin Plerce had 254 to 42 for General Winfield Scott. In 1864 Abraham Lincoln received 212 to 21 for General George B. McClellan, Grant received tremendous electoral majorities~beth times, 214 to 80 for Horatlo Seymour in- 1868 and 286 to 63 for several candidates following the death of Horace Greeley in 1872, In 1904 Theodore Roosevelt received 336 to 140 for Alton B. Parker. Yet, notwithstanding his phenomenal majority in electors and his great pop- ular plurality over either Taft or Roosevelt, it i3 one of the anomaifes of the situation ‘that President Elect ‘Wilson received an actual minority of the vote and possibly fell short of the Bryan vote in 1908. The following ta- ble shows the complete vote in a few states and close approximations in the others: Popular Vote For President. Roose- Wilson Taft velt. Alabama B0 18000 20,000 Arizona 16465 4T 1T Arkansas 5000 26,000 28,000 California 33250 3086 32415 Colorado . 120,00 55,000 79,000 Connecticut 61258 546 Delaware 15,98 88% Floriaa 3700 4200 Georgia 5167 20849 idaho 3,000 28,000 linots 26,625 391,365 Indiana 16LI57 160,903 Iowa 11,084 149,540 Pennsylvania , Rhode Island. 197 60,000 28,000 82,000 40,000 13,000 28236 2212 21,131 18,670 ‘Washington . 7,146 126,265 West Virginia. Wisconsin . Wyoming .. Totals ..... +02.6,274,398 3,547,720 4,136,768 No electors on the ballot. It will be weeks before the official count is made in most of the states, and until that time comes it will be impossible to give the popular vote in full. All these totals will be some- ‘what increased, but will retain approx- Imately the same relative positions. Comparing this vote with ‘that of 1908, which was—Taft, 7,678,908; Bry- an, 6,409,104, it is seen that Wilson is about 140,000 short of Bryan's vote and that the combined Taft and Roosevelt vote is more than 2,000 short of Taft's vote four years ago. As al- ready stated, however, complete and official returns may change these re- sults. ‘Wilson’s plurality over Roosevelt is above 2,000,000 and over Taft is nearly 2,700,000. Roosevelt. recelved more than 500,000 over Taft. Wilson is 1,400,000 behind the combined vote of Roosevelt and Taft. Other Minority Presidents. He is not by any means the first president who has been elected by a minority vote. In 1892 Grover Cleve- land received a large majority of the electoral vote, but his popular vote was 5,556,018 to 5,176,108 for Harrison, 1,041,028 for Weaver (Populist), 264,- 133 for Bidwell (Prohibition) and 21,- 164 for Wing (Socialist Labor). In other words, the combined vote of oth- er candidates was 6,502,433, nearly 1,000,000 more than Cleveland. Four years earlier Mr. Harrison won, although he had fewer votes than Mr. Cleveland. The figures were: Harri- son, 5440,216; Cleveland, 5,538,233; other candidates, 402.411. Thus Har- rison was nearly 100,000 behind Cleve- land and 500,000 short of the combined opposition. In the close and exciting Cleveland- Blaine contest of 1884 the Democratic candidate was ahead of Mr. Blaine. but slightly behind the total vote of i or' ‘We have been in business in this town for some time. and we are looking to build up trade by aiways advising our vatrons right.

John (Prohibition), 151.809; Butler (Greenback), 13 Thus., while Cleveland led Bla ¥ 62.683, be was behind the combined opposition by 222,951. In fact, minority presidents have been the rule. Garfield was one. He was a slight 7.000 ahead of Hancock. but more than 300.000 behind op ponents. The figures were: 4,449,053; Hancock.' 4.442.035: (Greenback), 307.306; Duw (Pro.), 10.- 806; Phelps (Amer.). 707, Hayes Far Behind.

That was the near- est parallel to the present election, as the Democratic party was split then as the Republican party is split now. James Buchanan was a minority president. His vote was 1,838,169 to 1,341,264 for Fremont and 874,538 for Millard Fillmore (Amer.), thus leaving Buchanan pearly 400,000 behind the combined opposition. Franklin Pierce had a majority over all, but four years earlier Zachary Tay- lor was elected by a minority vote. He received 1,360,101 to 1,220,544 for Lewis Cass and 291.263 for Martin Van Bur- en (Free Soil). thus bheing 150,000 be- hind the total vote of his opponents. The same was true of James K. Polk in 1844. He received 1.337.243 to 1,299,068 for Henry Clay and 62,300 for James G. Birney. leaving Polk nearly 25,000 behind the two. Barker’s Drug Store bottle will cost you nothing.
