Woodrow Wilson President The people of the United States have spoken and they have spoken in no unmistakable terms, So far as the nation was concerned The Star had no fears of the outcome—the eople couldn't lose, Following the overthrow of the bosses y Bryan and Wilson in the democratic convention, it was certain that at last a great party, free from special interest control, would be the winner. At that time The Star printed the editorial which is reproduced today below, Readers should remember that this editorial was written before the progressive party, with its human rights platform, was or- ganized. The editorial follows: : Woodrow Wilson of New Jersey, nominated for presi- dent by the people in defiance of Wall st., on a platform written by William Jennings Bryan, the people’s great leader William Howard Taft, nominated for president by Wall st. in defiance of the people, on a platform written by the creatures of privilege. These are the alternatives between which the voters of this nation will be called upon to choose when they go to the polls next November, , Out of the strife and turmoil of the convention at Chi- ago and Baltimore have been born the candidates and the fssue. WALL ST.'S victory at Chicago was as clean cut as was the PEOPLE'S victory at Baltimore, Although the people, represented by the progressives, were read out of the republican party, at Baltimore WALL ST., represented by Ryan, Belmont and Murphy, was read out of the democratic rty. At Chicago the Wall st. candidate was nominated and ¢ Wall st. platform adopted, not only without the assist- ance, but against the protest and in defiance of every pro eSsive delegate and influence. At Baltimore THE PEO. Fi S$ CANDIDATE was nominated and the people's plat adopted, not only without the assistance, BUT ‘AGAINST THE PROT AND IN CE OF EVERY WALL ST. D ATE AND INFLUENCE AT CHICAGO, TAI BARED HIS CHEST INVITED WALL ST. TO BRAND HIM WITH T BALTIMORE, WILSON AND , THE BRANDING IRON FROM WALL ST. AND HURLED IT INTO THE GUTTER . The words “republican” and “democrat” mean less today than ever before in the history of either party. Before the election in November, they ought to mean nothing. Every voter in this country who believes in a govern- ment of the people, by the people, and for the people, irre- tive of his past political affiliations, ought to vote for ‘codrow Wilson. Every voter in the country who believes a@ government of privileges by Wall st. for dollars, irre- Bpective of his past affiliations, ought to vote for Taft. ‘The issue is as clean cut as a cameo; the result, in the pinion of The Seattle Star, is as certain as that the election will be held. With absolute confidence that Wilson would win the @lection The Star's only hope was that the progressive party, efter it was formed, would poll a vote extensive enough and substantial enough to make the opposing party. In this The Star was not disappointed. The progressive party becomes the second party and the republican party passes. Observations AND now that it’s over, back on the job, folks. There's work to do. THE house will be with you, Woodrow, and mebby the Senate, too. It’s an elegant chance. THIS is the hour when the election dope, deceitful jade, ing led you astray, laughs in cold derision. AND THE AND the dope’s partner in crime, the election bet, is wait- for you around the corner to hint that now is the time to BUT wh -ares what the wreckmaster thinks about the Protective t: or the .egislative referendum?

Today marks the passing of Tait and Joe Cannon. That ought to satisfy the péople that they can make progress. ANYHOW, here’s to you, Woodrow! And may you Gerve us well. We're inclined to like the fire in your @cademic eye and the contour of your jaw. . DID ever a president of the United States before receive an emphatic rebuke as was handed to Taft yesterday? lust three little hidebound standpat states in his column. “TAFT Serene as He Hears of Defeat,” shricks a head- but the statement he issued is a statement of a hard loser. HOW different Teddy! Early he admitted that the peo- ple had decided “by a neat plurality” that they wanted Wil- Gon for president, and he accepted their decision in “great good humor.” THE progressive party, at six months of age, with Scarcely any organization, polled enough votes and carried States to.make it a live, fighting reality. And the Standpat republican party is dead. Thus history is rade. THOUSANDS of pcople enjoyed the election returns flashed on the big Screen opposite the Butler hotel by The Star last night. The Star gave its guests the most complete feturns obtainable, having two special leased wires for the occasion. WHETHER or not the final returns show Hay's defeat, the old gang in this state was taught a lesson yesterday that ft ought to remember. Had not the anti-boss forces been almost evenly divided between Hodge and Lister, Hay and his backers would have been swamped by the people's votes. — ee See SHE UNDERSTOOD “T suppose, of course,” says the fluffy creature to the captain, “that the bow of the ship is #0 called because it keeps bowing all th, time, but why do they call one side the starboard and the other the ey “The star boarders stay on one side and the porters on the other,” fs the willing explanation from the officer.—Chicago Evening Post, si.

It ts probably safe to assume that if the election bad been left to the members of the Denver Press club, Wilson would have been chosen unanimously, for on one of his visits to Denver he so endeared himself to the Rocky mountain newspaper men that they're talk- ing about him yet. The crowd at 1@ Prees club reception to him Was 80 great there were not seats! for all, so the party sat about the Noor, Indian fashion, and told sto- ries, the chief story teller being the governor of New Jersey As the evening progressed, the Stories got better and better and Wilson and bis hosts got friendlier and mellower. The newspaper boys were alternating their stories with various liquids, carefully hand- ing the governor each time a lem- enade, a white soda or something else “soft,” and not presuming to offend him by suggesting that he etables: nuts, eggs and canned goods, you eat the bread just as it ¢ Cleanliness is: in bread. Itdo matter abo er groceries. You 0; a take anything stronger. After con- suming three or four such drinks, Wilson glanced about the circle of squatted figures with a mischiev- ous grin, and said: “By birth I am an American, by paternal parentage | am Irish, but by thirst I am Scotch.” The crowd took the hint with a whoop. “ee When Wilson returned from the trip on @ sailing yacht, where he wrote his letter of acceptance of the democratic nomination, he pro- duced the following limerick, prompted by a week on the ocean: "I wish that my room had a floor, | don’t care so much for a door, But this walking around Without touching the ground, Is getting to be such a bore.” eee The president-elect’s full name ts “Thomas Woodrow Wilson,” but he has not used “Thomas” since soon after he left college. People who didn’t know this were therefore as tonished when, at Gary, Ind., as the democratic candidate stepped onto a platform to make a speech, a stout man jumped up, rushed over to him, hammered him on the back, and yelled: “Hello, Tommy; how are you?" “Tommy” was equally surprised; but be pumped ‘the fat man’s hand up and down, laughed happily, and exclaimed: “Why, hello, Bob; what are you doing here? My, but I'm glad to see you!” Bob was an sold, old friend, ex Gor. Glene ef North Carolina, ee But President@lect Wilson ts not always the genial, good-natured man indicated by these stories. His “humanness” is complete. He has 4 temper. Usually, he keeps it pretty well under control, but he's just enough like other folks to lose it sometimes and get plain, down- right, naturally mad, This hap- pened once or twice during his cam- paign, In one city he was halted by a re- ception committee in the lobby of a hotel, to wait a few minutes until the reception committee of another organization took him in charge, He had been making 10 or 15 speeches a day, traveling for a week on @ train, subjecting himself to being crushed by crowds, shaking hands with both hands for hours and otherwise indulging in presi- dential campaigning of the most tir- from the soiled hands of the or others who have handled it.
