“ 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!

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
