—The Keystoners fought a great fight,
but how foolish! They're the boys Mr.
TENER can thank for his office of Gov-

—The gentlemen who came away from
the GIBBONEY meeting in Petriken hall
Sunday night convinced that “there was
more of Christ's gospel talked there than
is usually heard in our churches,” must
have had a very poor opinion of our
churches or the ministers that serve.
Frankly, we believe that persons who
make expressions like the above know
very little about what is going on in
our churches and it is also probable that
they will have less interest than ever in |
starting to find out when they see minis- |
ters of the churches rallying at a politic-
al meeting on Sunday night.

“My Polidies”
Tariff Revision Upward
BEATEN TO A FRAZIL
IT IS BACK TO THE DEMOCRACY
FOR ALL THE DOUBTFUL STATES
Not Since 1882 Has There Been Such a Revulsion of
Political Feeling all Over the Country—The Next
Congress Will be Democratic and the Way is
Paved for a Democratic President in 1912.
While Democratic victories at Tuesday's elections were presaged by the land-
slide in Maine in September the most optimistic failed to prophesy any such a tre-
mendous outpouring of voters to protest against the administration of the govern-
ment as was recorded on Tuesday. Personal elements entered into the contests
everywhere and local issues to some extent but the preponderance of sentiment is
unmistakable in its expression of distrust and dissatisfaction with the Republican
party's management of affairs in Washington. Dix may have been elected Gove:-
nor of New York in order to rubuke ROOSEVELT; HARMON may have been elected
Governor of Ohio because he had been tried and found true; WILSON may have

Des Moines, Iowa, Nov. 9.—In yester-
| day's election in Iowa two Democratic
| Congressmen were elected in districts
| held by Republicans, and the Republicans
won a district from the Democrats. Other-
| wise the political complexion of the State
remains unchanged, save that the big Re-
pubiiican majority of other years was all

_The Governorship was in doubt till to-
| night. Early returns indicated the elec-
tion of Claude R. Porter, Democratic can-
didate, but when the country vote began
to arrive Governor B. F. Carroll showed
steady gains. Tonight, with returns in

BowLING GREEN, Mo., Nov. 9.~Down-
ward revision of the tariff at once is the
pledge made for the new Democratic
House of Representatives by Champ
Clark, Representatives from the Ninth
District, who is a candidate for the Speak-
ership.
“The first and greatest proposition the
Democrats should stand for is a reduction
of the tariff to a revenue basis,” he said.
“I would reduce it scientifically and grad-
ually put into it a sliding scale much like
there was in the tariff bill of 1833.”
With Nothing to Say, Roosevelt is Rest-

OYSTER Bay, N. Y., Nov. 9.—Theodore
Roosevelt had not a word to say today as
to the results of the election.
It was said at Sagamore Hill that not
only did he have nothing to say, but that
no statement was forthcoming, at least
for an indefinite period.
Colonel Roosevelt had shut himself off
from the outside world. When an at-
tempt was made to reach him today he
sent out word that he would see no re-
porter at Oyster Bay.
Colonel Roosevelt said several days ago
that he would stay at home to rest for
some time, and that he would not go to
New York until November 17.
~The fly in that fine big dumpling that
was baked for we Democrats on Tuesday
was the defeat of Dr. STEWART for Sen-

—Even Jim JEFFRIES, beaten nearly to
death by JACK JoHNSON, could give
ROOSEVELT pointers on the art of com-
ing back.
—Some people's ideas of Civic Right-
eousness seem to be that it is a glorious
chance for them to blow the horns of the
political altar, while a lot of pot hunting
politicians carry away the offices.

Berry Wins in Country—Heavy Socialist Vote is Polled
and One Candidate Elected.
PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 9.—Complete returns from 60 of the 67 counties, and with
estimated pluralities from the missing counties, show an apparent plurality for
John K. Tener, Republican, for Governor of Pennsylvania, 32,849. The counties
from which complete returns have not been received are Allegheny, Armstrong,
Chester, Lawrence, Mercer, Monroe and Wayne. Excluding these counties, Tener
polled an official total vote of 348,209; Berry, the Keystone candidate for Governor,
317,345, and Webster Grim, the Democratic candidate, 116,816. ;
Estimated returns from the seven missing counties give Mr. Tener a net plu-
rality of 2,035, making Mr. Tener’s plurality for the State, 32,849 Of this plural-
ity Philadelphia gave Mr. Tener 45,106, and Allegheny approximately 7,910. Mr
Tener carried 18 counties; Mr. Grim 9, and Mr. Berry the remaining 40.
John M. Reynolds, Republican for Lieutenant Governor, carried the State by a
plurality about the same as Mr. Tener's. Henry Houck, Republican for Secretary
of Internal Affairs, appears to have polled a slightly larger vote than his two col-
leagues on the State ticket.
