as to the outcome. This bears out
the assertion of The Dispatch last
Sunday that while the leaders on
each side could claim big majorities
in the electoral college and enthus
iasts could see landslides for Wilson
and for Hughes, according to their
ardent devotion, yet, there was noth
ing for anyone to logically base a fore
cast upon. The present situation con
clusively shows this.
It is now generally admitted that

certain is so close and each sufficient
ly near the top to prove that the
claims of landslides were wild; and
the doubt tnat has been lasting for
almost forty-eight hours shows that
even though some predicted the elec
tion of Hughes, or Wilson, they had
nothing logically to base this forecast
upon. ; It was simply either belief in
the cause, or enthusiasm that does
!no reckon.
Let's sue 'em for mental anguish.
Politics also make strange reports.
PROGRESSIVE PRINCIPLES STILL
AFLAME.
Like the aviator,
beloved.
Still up the air,
No use bluffing now. It can't change
the result.
By the way, isn't there a war going
on in Europe,
California seems able to shake
things without having an earthquake.
One way the rich add to their
"dough" is by keeping up the price
of flour.
The election returns were of the
Ferris Wheel brand. First one on
top and then another.
It would be next t impossible for
California and Minnesota to prove to
the country that they are speedy.
By now Uncle Sam must have reach
ed the conclusion that he has got
some powerful obstreperous nephews.
Whatever is the outcome of the
election the fact is established that
progressive principles still live. They
have not been killed. They live and
they are flourish. This is a great
thought, should Wilson win; it is won
derful consolation should he lose. It
is glorious because it shows how they
conquered great odds; it would be
consolation because it would demon
strate that a great army of Americans
still stand for progressive principles
and would have prevailed but for the
extraordinary elements that injected
themselves into the campaign; ele
ments that did not deal with domes
tic problems, as should be the case,
and that while insignificant if stand
ing alone might provide just the bal
ance to. turn a result in a close elec-
jtion.
Whichever party is in power for the j
next four years, it must take into ac
count the progressive principles of
the country. It must behold the west
in a new light. It must realize that
the west and the south are strong
and that the north can no longer be
autocratic, thinking that it can abso
lutely direct the results. This is not
a thought in disparagement of the
great north, but one in behalf of the
or 50 !Yea6
The Southern serves the South.

Got to hand it to Vance .McCormick
for being the prettiest little claimer
the political world has known for
years.
Allow us to remark, in passing, that
this election has been quite a boost
to the telegraph and telephone companies.
It must be terrible to the Kurnel to
have to hold "in those shrieks he was
getting ready to emit on Tuesday
night.
Looks as if the grand old county
of New Hanover is going to come
mighty- nigh winning, -the banner for
increased Democratic majority.
The thing has been so long drawn
out and exhausting that the winning
side will not have energy enough to
shout when it is finally settled.
Oat of the thousands and thousands
of inquiries made to The Dispatch of
fice no one every thought "of asking
how Pennsylvania and Texas went.
Evidently, Tammany did not work
as it talked, but as Tammany is always
adjudged guilty until it proves itself
innocent, there is nothing surprising.
"Why should a woman who cannot
knit wish to vote?" asks the Columbia
State. Perhaps so she will not have
to knit her fingers off in effort to exist.
Pity the woe of the poor editor-, who
had saved up to write an editorial on
the result, whichever way the election
cat jumped, and yet cannot get it off
his system.
George Bernard Shaw's new com
edy, "Getting Married," is being stag
ed, but a good bet seems to have been
overlooked in not starring Nat Good
win and Lil Russell in the play.
One wise guy remarked this morn
ing that Hughes is always ahead at
night and Wilson in the day time.
Don't know whether that is significant
in that the Republicans are more fam
iliar with dark ways, but it is good
at that.
It is going to be interesting to
watch for the votes of the soldiers on
the border, even though it may or
may not show anything conclusive.
Ordinarily, it would be thought that
this vote wdhld reflect-the sentiment
of conditions on the border; would be
a reflection of how the President's
policy along the border is looked up
on. On the other hand, often a man
gets fixed in his ideas and the cus
tom of his life follows him. There
fore a Minnesota or a Pennsylvania
soldier could as easily be a Democrat
or a Republican on the border as at
home. There would probably be a
difference if a issue was fixed upon
him; if whether the President's Mex
ican policy on the border had been
successful or not was made the issue
with him, but has this been the case?
So, after all, past party affiliation of
the soldier would be the most likely
test of the situation.
Yet, however the soldiers vote, it
is well that they have voted; not be
cause they are soldiers, but because
no man should be deprived of his
right to vote, when he has to leave
his state or precinct in response to
duty or business. It would indeed be
an injustice to send men away in de
fense or protection of their country,
generally to endure discomforts and
sometimes to assume risks, and de
prive them of taking part in their
government. It would be out of keep
ing with the American spirit that be
lieves in -fair play. Undoubtedly,
every soldier should be entitled to
vote and the home state of that sol
dier should hold out opportunity to
him to do so.
The states should go further. They
should provide means whereby the
traveling men the one away from
home due to business and the one sud
denly called away in response to urg
ent call can cast their ballots.
