Phone Main 381 “ TAINTED” ELECTION NEWS The December Review of Reviews gives a brief ac count of the way in which the result of the recent election was first reported throughout the East as a victory for Hughes. Mr. Hughes sunk to peaceful slumber that night with the comfortable conviction th at he had been overwhelmingly elected, while Mr. Wilson wooed the god dess as a refuge from the sting of defeat. N ext morning the great New York dailies made positive announcement of a Hughes victory and gave various profound reasons therefor. The foremost newspaper supporters of Mr. Wilson were the New York World and the New York Times. Both had conceded his defeat before midnight of election day. All this was very reasonable. According to the political wisdom with which the heads of the East ern wiseacres were loaded, when it became certain that Hughes had carried certain of the great Eastern states on which the result has hinged in previous elections, his vic tory was an established fact. They failed to reckon on the growing power of “ the provinces,” and they failed, as they will continue to fail, to understand the emancipation of the people of the great West from partisan thralldom. On Wednesday the returns began to indicate that, even without the great bunches of electoral votes swung by certain Eastern states, Mr. Wilson m ight be elected. And now began a few days of juggling with figures about which the Review of Reviews says nothing at all. To ac count for this, many on this coast have a theory which is undoubtedly correct and about which the Herald can give strong corroborative evidence. It is argued that Wall Street had millions of money upon Hughes and when it became apparent that Wilson had been elected a haunting desire was felt to play even. A chance must be given to hedge. The rank and file of Hughes enthusiasts who were not on the inside must be skinned, th at Wall street might save its hard-earned she kels. So, for a day or two, the reports were most con us ing. It will be remembered that a dispatch announced that the betting on Wall street was two to one on Hughes; th at a t one stage more votes were certain for Hughes than for Wilson; that the California vote would be split, etc. Yet one cold little fact makes it plain th a t this was mostly bunk, calculated to induce the uninformed to cover all Wilson money offered, and give Wall street a chance to hedge. And when we say “ Wall street” we include “ the push” throughout the country. The one congealed fact referred to is that a confidential dispatch was receiv ed shortly after noon on Wednesday positively announcing “ Wilson is elected.” This was sent by one of the big news companies to its clients, but not released for publi cation. And that news company continued for a t least 24 hours longer to send out the confusing reports which made it possible for those on the inside to get their money back at the expense of the “ outsider.” Yet we some times fondly imagine that the big news companies are on the square! ■■■■■ for Primary Certificate.

When the editor of this paper writes an editorial it is usually because he has something that he wants to get out of his system—not because he expects it to have much influence on his hearers, on the circulation of the paper, or on the course of the nation’s history. Nor does he ex pect his readers, whether they approve or disapprove, to tell him about it. So he was most agreeably surprised C h a m b e r la in 's Tablets one day last week to receive from one of Marshfield’s leading citizens a short letter commending the “ Bar Chamberlain’s Tablets are intended especially for stomach troubles, bilious Dredge” editorial in the last paper.
