\ PROGRESS[VE EEPUBLICAN NEWSPAPEK DEVOTED TO THE UPBUILDIJ*^! OF AMERICAN HOMES AND AMERICAN INDUSTRIES. 8UULINGT0N, ALAMA-VCE COUXTY, NORTH CAKOLINA, FRIDAY, NOVEMBEK 13. 1914 RESULTS OF THE EIECT18N AS iv [ BY C8UN |Flower of The Ge rihan TRY’S PBESS. ^ I Army Now Attacking iREPUBLlCAN PRfiSlDENTlAL POS- SIBlLiTIES. I Various views of Tuesday’s election are lakeii by the press of the coun try. In some instances the result is inrcrpreted as a rebuke to President a Wilson and his policies, while in others a great victory for the President and the Democratic party is seen; The one thing, that stands out ir. most of thf^'eajtorials is the complete collapse of the Progressive Party. Here are edivWial comments from newspapers in various parts of the country; New York Sun:—The salient featnro of the voting yesterday through out the United States, or rather throughout that part of the country which is reasonably indicative political change, was the compelling evidence ot Republican reunion. The Progressi^e advance is not only cheeked the Pro gressive forces are almost annihilated. New York Tribune:—The Wilson administration stands tonderaned by public opinion. Even the distractions of a great world war did not even prevent the voters of this country from expressing their emphatic disap proval of its acts and policies. S’ew York Press:—Mr. Whitman did not carry his State fo; Governor; the people of Jfew York carried it. Other Kepublican candidates » » * did not carry their States and their Congress districts. The American peo ple carried them—carried them not so much for this or that candidate * “ * but against the policy and programme of Mr. Wilson';i party in control of the national Governjnent. 'r New Vork Times:—While there is cause for repret in the coi’htry fail ure to indorse an adminisiration which has on the whole deserved so well of it, which through the President’s coura.pe and firmness has nijide such a record of meritorious achievements the result of yesterday's ejections can- hot be looked upon as politically unhealthful oi as evidence of the unwisdom of the people. New Vork Warld:—^Threu times The World has vnitten ihv poUtical obituary of Theodore Roosevelt. This time we shall say nothin?? at all of the dead.

They will carry with ihem splendid ordinary significance. Tliat is the question that is >>ein,c: asked by Republican.^ all over the Union. The State of New York with its newly elected Governor, Mr. Whitnnan. and. its Senator, Hon. James W* Wadsworth, Jr., has in these gentlemen sbl« and popular Republicans cither of whom would make a strong candidal;? for the Presidency. Mr, Whitman, a:^ Govcr't»r of tho Empire State, has before him an £trduous and difficult task, but one that is sure to adl to his availability a^? u candidate if accomplished with satisfaction to the people of the State. He has this piesent week demonstrated his sti’erigth with the voters of New York by defeating Governor Glynn in an ovei’\vlielming way, and through that has made a great stride toward the nation honor. Hon. James W. Wadsworth, Jr., is a prime favorite not only with the Republican orga«izatioji of his State, but through his defeat of Mr. Gerard has proved himself to be exceedingly Mrong with the voters of New Vor'v in all parties. Ir Mr. Gerard, the Democratic party nanien as its candidate the popular man, the most available man, the strongest man in every way, that il: could name in New York, and his defeat by Mr. Wadsworth v.*as a te>t of strength that made tlie victory of tho Republican leader one of more than reports of the year’s work h, among v»’hich we note an increa:-e to the church of about 50, making the present membeiship oOrj. The Sunday school, with Mr. J. G. Rogei s as sup- eri/?tendent, has also grown until it is one of the laj-gest in the city. The church is highly ;^leased with the wurk of the pastor. Rev. Mr. (air- ry. and the dele>:ate ijots unani- n'ously instructed to ask for his re- i-.im for u!=other year, it is likely Republicans everywhere reco^r:ii:e Ih^'t ihis victory has placed Mr. Wadsworth high on the lists of the strong men of their party.
