YOCR VOTE IS NEEDED.
While Wilson Will Be Elected He
Niould Hare the Advantage of a
(real Puimlar Majority.
There teems to be no doubt that
Wilson will be elected on the 5th
of Norember. It Is not enough
that he should have a majority of
the electoral tote every rood Dem-
ocrat wishes him also to be Pres
ident by virtue of having a major
ity, ami not only a plurality, of the
popular Tote. The question of
whether he will have a majority
depends upon the South. There It
is certain that the electoral vote
will o ;or Wilson. Many Demo
crats, therefore, do not see the
heed of going to the polls and vot
iiix. Under this condition. the
danger is that Wilson's vote will be
small In this State and if small in
this and other Southern States, his
popular vote will not be as large
as 'ho sentiment In favor of his
election.
As a Southern man. says Mr.
Josephus Daniels, I know the diffi
culty of getting out the full vote
In an election w hen there Is no need
for It to secure the election of our
candidates, but in this campaign you
vill appreciate the importance of
Wilson having cast for him in the
ballot bosses every vote which he Is
eutitled. 1 am therefore writing to
beg that in every Issue of your
paper, from now until the election,
you will call upon your people to
come out and vote so as to poll
the full Democratic vote for Wil
son and .Marshall. If this is done in
every Southern State. Wilson and
Marshall will not only have a ma
jority of the electoral vote but a
majority of the popular vote. You
appreciate the importance of this.
If be is elected only by a plurality,
the Republican and Roosevelt par
ties will say that by uniting they
can defeat us next time, whereas.
If the Democrats have a majority
over both, the opposition four years
hence will find it difficult to give
us trouble.
The Attempt mi Mr. KooM-velt's
Life.
New York World.
Must public men In the United
States be forever at the mercy of
any lunatic who happens to de
velop a homicidal mania?
Mr. Roosevelt was shot at Mil
waukee last night, but fortunately
the wound Is not likely to prove
fatal. Nevertheless the man ihot
to kill and had he realized his ex
pect uions Mr. Roosevelt w ould now
te dead. Only two years ago May
or Gaynor was shot as he was pre
paring to leave for Europe, and
although he recovered he still car
ries' lv assassin's bullet in his
thrortt.
What happened to Mr. Roosevelt
jesterday may happen to Mr. Taft
to-day or to Mr. Wilson tomorrow,
or even to Mr. Debs the day after
to-morrow. Government and so
ciety alike seem powerless to pro
vide adequate protection for public
riifli a.mJ public officials in this
etufitl)'.
Mr. Koosiveit himself has always
regarded assassination or attempt
ed assassination as one Of the
"trade risks" of American public
life, and there is probably no means
or making It otherwise. Public
officials and candidates cannot very
veil be surrounded by bodyguards
like a European monarch. Neither
ran they maintain a remote and
isoi'itcd existence from their fellow-
titizens,
Public questions must be discuss
cd, public Issues must be threshed
out, and whatever danger follows
must inevitably be assumed. Never
rheless, it ought to be possible to
keep crazy men out of shooting
distance of Presidents and candl
dates for President. It ought to be
possible to furnish enough police
protection to enable the United
States to conduct a Presidential
campaign without the possibility
of assassination.
The attempt upon Mr. Roosevelt's
life Is an exceptional case so far
us candidates are concerned. The
country has passed through a doz
en campaigns In which popular pas
sion ran higher than it runs now,
without menace to the life of a
candidate. But there Is no way of
calculating the mental processes
of a lunatic or of knowing what
may or may not Inflame his mind to
murder.
In ine circumstances there Is no
thing to do but to congratulate Mr,
Roosevelt on his escape and to
congratulate the country upon Its
escape from another red blot upou
the ages of American history.
