EXPECTED AXD UNEXPECTED.
NOT only has the expected happen
ed, but some elements of the un
expected have alao shown up.
WIlHon Is elected with a big bunch of
votes to spare. This was the expected,
even to the bunch of votes to spare,
for practically from the commence
ment, from the birth of the Progressive
party the defeat of Taft was certain,
and that Roosevelt could not win,
equally certain. "A houRe divided
against Itself cannot sUuid," says the
proverb, and the statement Is true of
parties an well as houses.
The dispatches last night stated
RooRevoIt had phoned his friends nt
the Union club, "I have annihilated the
Republican party." Ills taste In milk
ing the statement mny well be depre
cated, but while his statement Is some
vliat bombastic and exaggerated for
the G. O. P. Is far from being anni
hilated, he certainly hit t In the solar
plexus and gave It a couplo of black
eyes, but It will recover, and Is far
from being down and out.
Wilson Is elected, and If Roosevelt,
as ho claims, annihilated the Republi
can party, he at least, like Samson
when he pulled down the pillars of the
temple, was hurled In the ruins, and It
fee.
1 'E
of the Grand opera house, was put In
oreratlon. and from that time until
midnight, tho returns were flashed on
a big screen on the Marlon hotel.
Tho Intense Interest taken In the
election was shown by the enthusiastic
cheering of one side or the other, as
news pleasing to it was flashed upon
the screen. The pictures of the candi
dates were given an ovation, especial
ly that of Wilson, It being understotod
he was to be our next president.
The big crowd remained practically
Intact until about ten minutes before
midnight the words, "Gentlemen, our
next president" were fllaBhed on the
screen, followed by Wilson's picture,
which awakened a great and long con
tinued cheer, and when a moment lat
er tho screen said: "The Capital
Journal bids you good night," the
crowd still lingered, reluctant to quit
the fascinating game of politics.
Oregon is still in doubt, though It
looks like Wilson. The result will not
bo known, that Is the full returns will
j nut be In, for two or three days,
'though enough will be known to Bhow
who wins.
Roosevelt's boast of having annihi
lated tho Republican party is much
like that of a tramp who would boast
Is not probable he can ever recover l0f burning the barn of the farmer who
fully from tho effects thereof. ind fed hlin, mid permitted him to
That he should boast of destroying
the party that gave him tho greatest
honor possible for a human being to
sleep In it.
President Taft" received the election
receive tho presidency of this great
republic of nearly a hundred million
people Is lacking In tact, gratitude
and good Hense, for while It Is In a
mensure true, It was unnecessary for
1,1m to remind the Republicans of It,
for they will not forget It
The unexpected that has happened
Is the election of Democratic legisla
tures in enough states that the com
plexion of the next U. S. senate will bo
changed, and tho Democratic party
will be In control of It. This Is In a
large measure due to Mr. Roosevelt
r.nd tbo breach In the Republican par
ty caused by him.
Tho Indications are thnt the next
lower hoiiHo of congress will also be
Democratic and thus the whole gov
ernmental machinery will bo in the
hands of the Democratic, party. This
Is an unusual condition of recent
years, and olio that Is perhaps not en
t'trely pleasing to the politicians, for
It brings them, or at least the Demo
cratic portion of them, out Into tho
rpen and leaves them nothing to hide
behind.
in a senso this Is a good tiling for
the common citizen. With one branch
of congress In control of the party op
pesing the president, his hands are
pretty well tied. If It Is something he
wants to do, ho Is prevented, and If it
Is something he does not want to do,
but that the people desire, the blame
Is laid on the opposition. The senate
would not let hlin, or tho house re
fused to stand In, Is his excuse and
tlmt of the other politicians. This Is
All excuse that has been of Inestimable
benefit to the party In power; but with
rll three branches of the law-making
blanch of tho government, tho Denuv
nils are for sure up against it. They
must make good, and for tills reason.
If no other, they probably will. Tariff
nnd all other party questions can, If
the political results are as forecasted,
lie settled on a Democratic basis, and
the country will expect this. In other
vords, It Is up to the Democrats to
"shoot or give up the gun." That their
net Ion In reducing the tat riff will be
along conservative lines Is a certainty
but that, there will be a revision of It
end that downward Is as certain as
iiiivthlng human can be. The Demo
crats have apparently made a clean
iw.vp. but they are not yet through
sweeping.
news last night over a private wire,
nnd whnt his opinion Is, or was, is of
course, not known. It would probably
make strenuous reading.
The writer overheard a voter yester
day say he would not vote for Bourne
but would support Selling because "he
was tired of seeing millionaires sent
to tho senate."
Anyway, Presirent Taft made a
clean, manly campaign, in strict ac
cord with the dignity of his position
end the importance of the contest-
Things the
Democrats
Promised
Here are some of the things advo
cated or promised in the national
Democratic platform, and which it will
now have a chance to act upon:
Immediate downward reviston of
the tariff, articles entering into com
petition with trust-controlled products
which are sold, more cheaply abroad
than at home to be placed on the free
list.
Vigorous enforcement of the civil
and criminal laws against trusts and
trust officials, so far as may be nec
essary to abolish private monopoly In
the United States.
Prohibition of corporations from
contributing to any campaign fund.
One term for president of the United
States.
Physical valuation of interstate rail
n-nns. exnress companies and tele-
graps and telephone Hnea.
Laws to prevent carriers from en
gaging In business which brings them
into competition with their patrons;
laws agalnsct over-Issuance of stock
by such corporations; legislation to
require the reduction of transporta
tion rates, so far as conditions will
permit.
Revision of banking laws and sys
tern of competitive bidding for deposit
of public funds In banks.
Permission to national hanks to
lend a portion of their funds on real
estate security.
Co-operation of federal government
with states In improvement of inland
waterways.
National aid to local authorities in
tho construction and maintenance of
post roads.
Trial by jury In case of Indirect con
tempt of court.
Employes' compensation law, wher
ever federal jurisdiction extends.
Union of various governmental
agencies for the control of pure food,
quarantine, vital statistics and pub
lic health.
Reorganization and extension of the
civil service.
Immediate declaration of nation's
purpose to recognize Independence of
Philippines.
Full territorial government for
Alaska.
Pnrcels post and extension of rural
mall service.
California
Is Claimed
for Wilson
San Francisco, Nov. 6. California
Is claimed by the Democrats by 20.000
majority, Chairman Davis, of the
Democratic state committee Is strong
ly of this opinion, and as he. was In
clined on Tuesday night to claim the
state by 20,000, even while Los An
geles' showing was far better than It
is today, his estimate is considered
censervative. Definite figures are not
expected before tonight or tomorrow.
The surprisingly large Wilson vote
in San Francisco aided by the Wilson
pluralities In San Diego and Fresno
counties, with a few of the smaller
counties not previously counted upon
by the Democrats, were responsible
for the turning down of the Roosevelt
electors. The Taft followers, of
course, were the main factor. They
"plumped" for Wilson all over the
state.
Utterly Wretched
Nervous Prostration Long Endured

To Control
Election
of Senator
UNITED PRESS LEASED WII1H.
Chicago, Nev. 6. The estimated plu
rality of Edward F. Dunne, Demo
cratic candidate for governor, Is from
55,000 to 120,000.
Returns from 1811 precincts show
that his plurality is greater than was
calculated last night. The figures are:
Dunne, 420,872; Funk, Progressive,
310,068; Deneen, Republican, 290,992.
Judge Dunne carried the entire state
and Cook county Democratic ticket to
victory, and while the legislative re
sults are still In doubt, It Is not be
lieved that either the Democrats or
Republicans will have a majority, and
that the Progressives hold the balance
of power in the naming of the senators.
Tho total vote in Chicago for presi
dent was: j
Roooevelt, 134,174; Wilson, 127,697;
Taft, 72,605; Debs, 54,677; Chann, 2,
895. Roosevelt's plurality was 26,477.
THE FIRST GRAY
HAIR SIGH OF AGE
Easy Way to Preserve Jintural Color
of the Hair nnd Make It
Grow.
A harmless remedy, made from com
mon garden sage, quickly restores
gray hair to natural color. The care
of the hair, to prevent It from losing
its color and lustre, Is Just as Impor
tant as to care for teeth to keep them
from discoloring. Why spend money
forcoemetlcB and creams to Improve
the complexion, and yet neglect your
hair, when gray hair Is even more con
spicuous and suggestive of age than
wrinkles or a poor complexion? Of
the two, It Is easier to preserve the
natural color and. beauty of the hair
than It Is to have a good complexion.
All that Is necessary Is the occa
sional use of Wyeth's Sage and Sul
phur Hair Remedy, a preparation of
common garden sage and sulphur,
combined with other valuable reme-
lles for dry, harsh, faded hair, dan
druff, itching scalp and falling hair.
After a few applications of this simple
harmless remedy, your hair will grad
ually be restored to its natural color,
in a short time the dandruff will be re
moved, and your hair will no longer I
come out, but will start to grow as '
nature Intended It should.
Don't neglect your hair, for It goes
further than anything else to make or j
mar your good looks. You can buy 1
this remedy at any drug store for fif- !
ty cents a bottle, and your druggist
will give your money back If you are '
not satisfied after using. Purchase a :
bcttle today. You will never regret It
when you realize the difference It will
make In your appearance. Agent, J.
C. Perry.

Curing Conceit.
In an article on "The Training of a
Child" In the November Woman s
Home Companion, the author, Mary
Louisa Graham, writes, In part:
I know what forgetfulness of self
can ue attamea, even wnen u nus
been conspicuously denied by nature.
This Is a very little intimate little
story that I am about to tell, but I
feel that It has a lesson of real value.
When I was myself a young girl, I
was very conceited, and for no great
er cause than that I had a good intel
lect, and could learn easily what the
other girls at school found hard. The
realization of my own conceit came
to me through other people's criti
cism of me. For some time I puzzled
over whnt to do. It Is bo long ago measures had been defeated, Including
that I do not remember whether the the "headless ballot," recall and re
solution came nil in a moment, or
whether I gradually lived into the
understanding of the truth, thnt I
might know that I was clever, but
that It would never harm nie so long
na I placed no emphasis on the fact.
Kvery time I found myself dwelling
with satisfaction on some display of
my own Intellect, I tried to shut out
the thought. It was very hard at
first; I did so love my complacent,
conceited thoughts, and for a time I
would occasionally lndulgo myself In
them. Still In time the device actu
ally did work, and It set In motion
other subconscious processes. When
ever I came bacK to tnotiKiits or my
self, I found a new humility, which
I learned to feel more preclouB than
my old conceit.
"After n time conceited thoughts
ceased to give .me any pleasure; In
stead they brought a curious sense
of slinme, as If some one had praised
me for a noble net that I had not done
I had come to see myself In a true
proportion, and to realize the abso
lute unimportance of my poor little
mind. This Is not words: It is the
literal truth."
