King, 1610 Pacific Ave. Bunnct 118 ® at the Postoffice at Reattlc, Washington, as second-clawe matter F ee ss Tudge Taft, in spite of the aminuts assaults on the re publican position made by William Jennings Bryan, has held} the position and won the battle It was to be expected. He is a strong nian who in various fields of achievement has done things; and with an army at hi back, superior in numbers and discipline to the enemy, « ¢ a Roosevelt and a Hitchcock, | with plenty of supplies and ammunition, cont Jent in avbistory made up of victories, the republicans yould have won Good luck to Taft ay he be enabled to do every good thing which his I haracter makes us confident he} intends He has a task of great acy before him. He has the} Roosevelt policies to carry t » their traditions of the} square deal, the curbing of wollen fortanes, the restoration of power to the people. And he will find that the square deal will not permit him to yield to his somewhat phiegmatic tem perament and busy himself with merely driving home the nails Rooxvevelt got started. There is a wh le basket of nails waiting the hand to hold and the hammer to drive them, or the square deal may be abandoned as an iridescent dream The conditions remain unchanged which permitted Harriman to loot the Alton of $60,000,000; Standard Oil to take $490,315,934 of profits, largely un earned, in seven years, while escaping, so far as can be seen now, Landis’ $29,000,000 fine; The steel trust to take profits of $190,000,000 in one year, while selling steel 25 per cent to 30 per than here, where they rob bebind the tariff wall even while able to make steel for only a little more than half the cost of the Welsh mills; The steel trust to monopolize 95 per cent of the available ore of the world, 60,000 acres of the Connellsville coking coal awhile howling for “protection” cent lower abroad practically the entire supply a both coal and steel—and receiving it; The railways to advance wances while paying the steel trust a on rails, millions of unearned takings to the express companies, | and other millions to select rings of insiders in the form of] “fast freight,” * lines and the like, so that even * of $7 to $8 a ton “steal “refrigerater car’ the increased returns from two-cent fares, saved rebates and | the $30,000,000 annual steal from the postal contracts with the government, cannot silence their yell of “confiscation” ; Standard Oil to operate bebind a tariff on ail for the benefit of “ infant industry” ; The paper trust to continue its exactions, in the face of a universal demand for free pulp ; Immunity of violators of the anti-trust law from enforce gent of section 6, directing confiscation of trust-controlled goods in transit between states or to foreign countries Industrial depression ; Cannonism ; Ete. Yes, the new president has work in plenty for the four years of his election, if he has the strength to do it And it will take strength of a kind to the exercise of which | Judge Tait, the jurist and diplomat, is unused. He must, like Roosevelt, become a fighter. Me must make up his mind to go to the mat at once with the Cannons, Paynes, Dalzeclis and Aldrichs. He must be willing to take the censure and obloquy of the official circles in Washington, for the sake of gaining the approbation of the inarticulate millions who never sit down to dinner with the president, nor wait outside the cabinet toom for interviews, but only work and toil and feel and think. Roos- ‘evelt has offended the present in Washington to serve the ab- sent. Taft must do the same if he carries out Roosevelt policies. May he have strength to do it! He has a hard task. In this period of transition from plutocracy to democracy, his is @ great and glorions task who for four years will use the great) olifice of the presidency in the cause of the latter instead of the! farmer. May Judge Taft have the wisdom to see, the heart to feel, and the nerve to choose the right way, and may the support of all good men of all parties in doing it! Here's health, happiness and success in all good things the president-elect! May he live long—and (im all ways making for our common good)—may he prosper! he have to RESULTS OF THE ELECTION The latest returns from Tuesday's elections indicate surprising and important facts.
