HE COBVALUS GAZETTt
TCESDAYS AND FRIDAYS,
NOT A PARTY VICTORY.
The election of the Republican
'candidates by unprecedented ma
jorities both in the popular and
electoral college is much "more
than a party victory. It is. not a
" Republican victory, but a triumph
of Republican principles and
policies won by the American
people because they approve of
,and believe in those principles
and policies. It expresses not
simply his party's approval of
the administration cf President
Roosevelt, but it is expressive,
as well, of the approval of thou
sands of men who have never
been known as Republicans. It
is not alone a vote of' admiration
of the party for Mr. Roosevelt's
honesty, courage, energy, wis
dom and patriotism, but it ex
presses the high estimation in
whictiv the plain, every-day Amer
ican people hold such qualities.
We may not be able to see just
how much the President's per
sonality contributed to the vic
tory, but this much is true: Not
since the daysj of Andrew Jack
son have the people had before
them a presidential candidate
who has measured up to their
ideal of what an American Pres
ident should be so perfectly and
satisfactorily as does Theodore
Roosevelt.
But apart from this, had some
other of several Republican lead
ers borne the party banner it
would have been carried to a
splendid victory. The popular
approval of the principles and
policies of the party would have
been no less certain. We 'fincl
evidence of this in the fact that
though the opposition tried every
means to find an issue by which
the people might be moved the
attempt was everywhere a 'dis
mal failure.
The great manufacturing states
answered the Democratic assaults
on protection by unprecedented
majorities for the Republican
candidates. The trade and com
mercial centers of the country as
emphatically voiced their satis
faction with the things done and
doing by the party. The agri
cultural sections responded with
an emphatic expression of their
satisfaction with prevailing con
ditions. The whole country is in
accord with Republican adminis
tration of public affairs". Even
"the solid South, " where distrust
of Republican purposes is. a bit
ter prejudice, shows an inclina
tion to accept these and deal with
them on their merits. The vote
of Missouri breaks the solid
South, let it be hoped, for all
time.
As we have said,' the opposM
turn failed 'to find an issue on
which it might successfully ap
peal to the people. The superb
victory won for the dominant party
makes it doubly incumbent upon

believe the affairs of the nation,
whether at home or abroad, will
be conducted wisely and success
fully, and that -it is altogether,

SHOULD KEEP SILENT.
Judge Parker has given Out a
letter in which he reiterates his
charge that the trusts contribut
ed the bulk of the campaign
fund. Hear him: "If we would
help the people; if we would fur
nish an organ through which they
may be relieved of a party that
has grown so corrupt; that" it will
gladly enter into the partnership
of trusts to secure money for
election purposes we. must for
get the differences of the past."
And further; '.' 'We must bring
home to them that money con
tributed to the Republican party
by trusts is not only dishonest
money, but it is given that the
trusts may without hindrance
take a much larger sum from the
people."
This charge was met by the
President with a straight-for
ward and manly denial. Judge
Parker failed to make it good,
and the people of New York by
a majority of 185,000 told Parker
it is false.
It is an open secret that the
trusts secured Parker's nomina
tion. Bryan and Hearst knew
this was so for they were behind
the scenes. They gave Parker
little earnest support because of
this knowledge. The people of
New York knew that the names
of Parker's campaign managers
and advisers are synonymous
with trusts. Here's some of them:
Belmont, Davis, Gorman, McCar
ren, Hill, Bryan, Myer.
These men had no need to so
licit funds from the trusts, for
they are the trusts. K They nom
inated and supported Parker
because they knew he was their
man. They did not deceive the
people of New York, it is-doubt-ful
if Parker is so unsophisticat
ed that they deceived him. The
Judge should now preserve a
discreet and judicial silence con
cerning trust contributions to
campaign funds.
BRYAN TO THE FORE.
Who shall pick up the Demo
cratic party from the debris of
its late defeat and give it vitality
is a matter of little concern to
Republicans. We surmise it will
not be Gorman, Hill nor Cleve
land. They have had . their in
nings and must step aside. It
seems probable that Bryan,
Hearst and possibly Watson" sin

gly or together will assume con,-
trol of the party and "name- the
j issue which : it will raise for f u
jture contests. Already Bryan
i has snoken. - '
-": He gives " the late - leader and
managers of theVparty a sfilleto
thrust when he declares that
"the trusts cannot be fought suc
cessfully by any party that de
pends on trust funds to win ; its
eleciton. " He knows that - both
he and Hearst were' turne'd down
in the St Louis convention by the
trusts. He knows that these same
trusts strove to prevent the nom
ination of Roosevelt. He will
oppose them, of course, but his
opposition will go further. He
will call it a "contest between
democracy and plutocracy." ; His
rallying cry will be war on prop
erty, war on vested rights, war
by those who have nothing upon
those who have something. He
will gather under tne banner of
democracy all the restless, dis
satisfied and mischief -making
elements of society. v f :
It was to such elements he ap
pealed in each of his campaigns'.
Here is a most inviting field ' for
the display of smooth, specious
demagogy, and Mr. Bryan has
demonstrated that he is a past
master in the art. - He will prob
ably break his past record. We
shall see presently,
TBF OFFICIAL RESULT.
The official vote of Benton
county shows that 1107 is the
highest vote cast for a Republi
can elector 443 for a -Democratic,
136 for, a Prohibition, 74 for a
Socialist and 13 for a People's.
Roosevelt's official majority
over Parker is therefore 664.

Electricity for Philomath.
. It is at last - definitely astired
that Philomath will have an
electric, light plant. ' For. the
last four months it has ' been
largely .talked of and the people'
began to ; think the proposition
had died oat. - But not sO, for
last week a force of , men were at
work digging holes for the! poles
and it is understood that the
work will be pushed .- with all
possible speed, i Arch" Horning
has been the prime mover but it
is understood that a company of
Corvallis people are backing him
and that there . is no doubt of its
beinea'o-o. The company has
an assurance of $75 per month,
the minimun amount asked for
before active operations 'would be
cemmenced. The city council
will be liberal subscriber as also
the colleges and business houses,
i-.- There is no" possible doubi but
that the plant, will be, a paying
proposition from . the very first.
It will be a means also of attract
ing new comers, for of all things
considered, Philomath is one of
the most desirable residence and
educational towns in the Wil
lamette Valley. Real estate men
in Benton county, state that by
far x the larger part of eastern
people, coming1 into the county
duting the' past year have settled
in or near Philomath. ! ; !
The power , house of the new
plant will be at the Horning saw
mill. Water power will be used
when sumcient but an engine
will be put in also.
