THE VERDICT.
u "William Howard Taft ,liast t)een4 el
ected (or will when the electoral
college meets) President of JheUnit
ed States to succeed Theodore Eoosew
velt. This result was foreshadowed
in a forecast given in the') StarTof last
Sunday in 'the following -paragraph:
"The result of the presidential elec
tion is in doubt, it all depending on
.whether Carnegie and the Steel Trust
and Rockefeller -and ' the Standard Oil
or 'the people shall rulf " ''
The .reinarkahle , feature ahout the
result in New York is the fact that
Bryan received so Jmuch better sup
port in the counties outside Greater
New York than he; did in the city it--4
self. - TMsis , partially attributable ta
the diversion of Democratic votes to
i Hearst's man, Hisgen; but we can
not escape the conclusion that Tam
many traded Bryan off for Chanlex.
It is manifest that; with the large
lahor vote for Bryan in . Greater New
iTork, Tammany was . guilty of gross
treachery i
' North Carolina, true to white su
premacy, which will be leading Is
sue in the South in the next campaign,
has given, a large majority fully as
large as we expected for both the
jBtate and National tickets.
The total vote of New Hanover was
.yery close to our forecast, as was the
majority for.Kitchin, though the vote
cast 'by the Republicans and "What
Nots ; was about 125 in excess of our
figures. The prohibition Folly Is large
ly responsible for the result! to this
county, -v
As we write, 10 P. M., it is too ear
ly to give the result for members of
the next national House of Represen
tatives. From . advices now at hand
North Carolina has elected eight of
the . ten Congressmen, leaving ' the
Eighth and Tenth districts in doubt.
We believe - oxir forecast of Sunday
estimating the Democratic majority
in North Carolina at 2,(ft0 to 3p,000
will not vary largely from the actual
sult. Glenn's majority in 1904 was
49,000. ' vj .
' Full details of the election will be
found in our (telegraph columns.
What an : uneasy-timeaili.,the pie-
Standard Oil will lve tot g back
to the courts now for advertisement
' ' ' 1 1 " i
Roosevelt thought of course Rocke
feller ,was a strong advocate of "post
election publicity' : - ' .
That was some tall' claiming done
on Monday by both national commit
tee chairmen.
Now that the campaign is over mud
can again be used for the purposes it
jwas originally intended. v '
What will the political spellbinders
ilo now? f Many will find 'their occupa
tion gone, for four"years at least, ; '
The Republican campaign managers
found out that Standard Company's
(oil does not smooth the troubled wat
ers. ' " 1
An exchange remarks that the; de
feat of Cannon was something . It had
always looked upon as too good to
coma , true. '
The President ought to have put in
his proclamation that the peopTe
should return thanks that the cam
paign is over.
Wonder .f the Socialist Labor par
ty's nominee for President had a -special
wire run into . his quarters yes
terday so he cpuld get the election
news early?
Anyhow, the Horse Editor of The
Morning Star was yesterday elected
a Justass of the Peace for the county
of New Hanover, and State aforesaid.
..Isn't that glory enough for one day?
We bet the vote of the members of
the newspaper fraternity, if taken to
day, would, be unanimously in favor
of increasing the length of the Presi
dent's term of office to eight years.
Eight years ago in "this State it
was called a campaign of education,
four years ago one of industrial prog
ress. What are the campaign nom
inees going to call the one just ended?
, The Charlotte Chronicle asks which
county now"holdsthe Vance banners.
It says the banner J passed east from.
Catawba several elections ago. Who
evferrknows which county holds it will
please speak out '
The next thing in order is Thanks
giving day, vwhen iwel will , all, give
thanks for the-results ofjyesterday
those who wero successful, for 'their
victory and. those, whoi were defeat
ed, that it was no Worse.

a handsome gold locket. The- second
prize . went to Justice G. W. Borne

were eight entries all told and while
Mr. Percy Wells, of the Bijou, was

The first prize for the most handsome

to Mr. B. H. Stephens, whose Machine

awarded; to the Independent Ice Com

The parade was more than a mile
in length and" it is safe to say that
for magnificence of display and Sim
ple beauty, it as jnever been: equall
ed in Wilmington The weather was
ideal and a larger crowd , never lined
a i route along which a pageant of the
kind passed. The formation was at
the City Hall on Third street ; and
long before the hour announced for
the parade to start, the square, was
one mass of humanity, street cars
moving with extreme i difficulty,
; Headed by Chairman T.- B. Carroll,
