ANXIOUSLY AWAITING THE RESULT.
“How i> tlie election in tin* states going today?” is the
question on every lip. That question will probably be decided'
by the great states north of the Ohio river and between the
Mississippi river and the eastern sea.
Those states are filled with people and great industrial
establishments. Just now, too, they are filled with money and
tin1 work going on there is something tremendous. The Demo
crats are pointing to this work and saying: “See the prosperity
onr ]>arty has brought in three and a half years.” If the masses
take that view Mr. Wilson will be re-elected. But will they
take that view .’ Can the Democracy point to one natural, legi
tini iio great industry that has been quickened since their party
assumed cont rol?
Are not the great industries that are piling up the mighty
b dance in favor of the United States, only such as the war
abroad lias created ?
Should tin1 war stop tomorrow and the war orders be can
celled, bow many of these industries would continue their pres
ib rush tor a single week, and were they to suddenly slow down
. ml stop, what would the situation be in a single week? How
would tlio nioii w ho are now working over hours find employ
ment for the coming winter? Could the establishment where
they found work prior to the passage of the Underwood law,
"Jv a i! m work' now ! If they are considering matters from
i he<e points, an old time vote for the Republican candidate may
I ''Npoet<'d. That, too, in the region of small farms.
i ! funnel are being told that the prosperity that has
a brought them is so great that the railroads are swamped
with freights.
I>n( those tanners all take the daily and weekly papers,
and it i- l et far reasoning tor (hem to understand that the rush
of their crops is all to the eastern seaboard, all destined to the
him r p epic abroad and that it is due to the war, and further
that the railroad congestion is because, though the war lias
a d lor two and a quarter years, there are no American ships
thnc to bear their crops across the sea. If they are considering
mat» i - from that natural standpoint, the farmers’ vote will hej
liable to accentuate the vote of the cities.
I- ;! th Democrats have in their favor the fact that ex
cited erowii are apt not to reason much. They take a situation
ims at the moment. And this year the party in power
i b with money and the appeals they make are to the ere
dnlily and cowardice of the people and in parading an unnatu
ral and feverish prosperity as something which has naturally
come through their policies, and so no absolute forecast can be I
m.ah of what the result is to he. One cannot judge by the re
port-; both sides seem to be sanguine.
POLITICAL PETTICOATS.
"Western women nre having lots of fun in this campaign.
Debutantes at the business, as it were, they put fresh enthusi
asm and unlrammeled’ by experience ardor into their support
lor one candidate or another — they’re usually supporting can
didab for a woman can get up little interest in a general
economic issue, unless it happens to affect her John or her
Tommy or Katie. Their campaigning is the more effective be
< u • they believe implicitly in their arguments.
Being president of a ladies’ aid society, or running a wo
rn,m’s brain i; of the Ancient Order of Freight Klingers has its
plea -ures to b sure, in prestige, power and the delightful sen
sation of b lug “it” and “in it,” but compared with politics,
m'dear, 'tis simply passe. There’s a battle for one’s wits no
wonder the m< n so jealously guarded the sacred rites of voting
for so many eons.
-:0;
The.leaders of the verv railroad forces that brought about
i :ic passage i»i the Adamson “eight hour” law confess an ob
l ocation as to its literal meaning. Nobody knows. Mr. Hughes
very clearU pointed out the menace to sound government of
legislation without investigation. Law-making on the half
cock always has been a disappointment.
-:o:
The enmity between the hem of the skirt and the concrete
is grow ing as the thermometer goes down. Last winter the ex
posure v. as m the cornice neighborhood. If women dressed for
warmth instead of style, the doctors would have less to do.
However, the doctors must not starve.
-:o:
1 In .joke of the county campaign is the report that Harry
Collier is running for office on a “dry” platform. Everybody
who reads remembers the forceful letters lie contributed to the
press in hi11< r oposition to prohibition. It’s in his bones.
-:o:■
Carransta’s reported desire to leave a memento in the way
of hasty footprints going north in the sands of Mexico im
presses us with the thought that Mexicans still have some re
spect for the I’nited States flag—outside of Mexico.
-:o:
W ithin a few hours after the Daily Times has gone to press
the election returns from the eastern states will begin coming
in, and before midnight the result of the national and'territorial
contests will be known.
-:o:-—
■ luiicau has the distinction of holding the first torchlight
procession, which took place last night under the auspices of ,
the Republicans of that place. t
-:o:
The Berlin war office would make it appear that the Her
mans are converting the Somme battle into an Yser or Verdun
for.the allies.
-:0;
It is perhaps a providential circumstance that a man may
he regarded as a fool by everp person, but he himself does not
know it.
--:o:
Pork already has gone so far that all the most of us get in
the squeal. And it’s neither nutritious nor fillin’.
