THINK IT MEANS
BRYAN ONCE MORE
AS THE HEAD OF A PARTY
THAT IS STYLED THE “RADICAL
DEMOCRACY.”
It la Said to Bo Hi Plan to Secure
Control of the Socialistic Ele
ments in the East and the West.
Does Sot Look So Mach to the
South for Support—Believed That
He Is Stronger in the West and
Southwest.
By R. M. Larner,
Washington, Nov. 9.—Bryan Demo
crats claim that their “peerless leader' 1
comes out of the contest the logical
leader of the radical Democracy. Those
who are closely associated with him
politically, and those who were with
him during the campaign, declare that
he had already formed his plans for
1908. It is said to be his intention to
secure control of the Socialistic ele
ment in the West and in the East.
The old alliance of the West and the
South may not be renewed. The Bry
anites declare the South gained nothing
by breaking away from its former ally
and joining with New York and the
East. Besides, it is said Bryan has
never regarded the South as fruitful
ground for the cultivation of his so
cialistic and his Populistic ideas. It is
believed that his strength in the South
west and West has increased by the
overwhelming victory of Roosevelt in
New York.
Mr. Bryan’s friends take pride in the
fact that Judge Parker, on a conserva
tive platform, was defeated worse in
the conservative East than Mr. Bryan
was on a free silver issue.
Kept Out of the East.
Throughout the campaign friends of
Bryan in the West were constantly in
quiring as to the possibility of a land
slide against Parker in New York. It
may have been that Mr. Bryan could
see the handwriting on the wall, or it
may have been that he had an inkling
of what might occur. He purposely
kept out of the East, and is in no way
responsible for what occurred in that
section.
Judge Parker has already publicly
appreciated his valuable services to the
party in the West. His supporters will
not be called to shoulder the charge of
being bolters, for he publicly urged
them to preserve their regularity, if
they cut the ticket privately he was on
record as having preserved his party
loyalty.
If Judge Parker had carried New
York and lost Indiana, the loss of the
latter might have been charged to
Bryan treachery. Bryan mad? no
speeches in Illinois. The Democratic
campaign in that state was entirely in
the hands of the gold standard Demo
crats or Cleveland faction. Thus it is
claimed that Bryan, while outwardly
asserting his loyalty to the Democratic
party, now looms up as the recognized
leader of the so-called radical Democ
racy.
Can’t Tell How It Happened.
Democratic leaders are unable to of
fer a reasonable explanation of the
overwhelming Roosevelt landslide.
While it Is conceded that the friends
of Judge Parker were justified In
claiming that he had a fighting chance
until the ballots were countel, it is
difficult to make the willing workers in
the party understand the result in
New York and all the doubtful states
upon which Democratic hopes wore
based.
When all the dust of the political
battle clears away It will probably be
shown that a combination of the finan
cial interests of the country was form
ed to secure the nomination of a sound
money Democrat to run against Roose
velt. In the event of the latter’s de
feat there would have been no fear of
a financial upheaval to disturb the
business prosperity of the country.
There are others who intimate that
the New York Democracy pro’mises to
supply all the sinews of wa.r in return
for the right to name Judge Parker.
It is charged that they either did not
make good their promise or they mo
nopolized all the campaign funds and
left the other debatable states hungry
and at the mercy of the rloh and pow
erful Republican organization.
CLINGING TO PARKER.
Rodle Declares He Is the Natural
Lender of the Party.
New York, Nov. 9.—William S. Ro
dle, in charge of the bureau of organ
ization of the Democratic State Com
mittee, to-day expressed himself con
cerning yesterday's election as follows:
“The result of yesterday's election
demonstrates that the American peo
ple are contented with present condi
tions.
"It also reveals the actual strength
of the conservative Democracy, which
must in the future be the nucleus of a
party which will successfully appeal
to the country: a party founded on the
principles of equal opportunities for
every citizen, attracting to Its ranks
patriotic and thoughtful voters.
“Alton B. Parker is the natural
leader of such a Democracy, and he
owes it to his country to accept the
responsibility.”

state passed off quietly. Little disor

ble was reported throughout the state,

ne Republicans and Democrats were

undecided and miged situation un
til the complete city returns settled a
Republican city victory, with the ex
ception of Folk’s success, and incoming
returns indicated a similar result
throughout the state.
Interest at once became accentuated
and bulletins were closely scanned and
the political headquarters thronged.
Early in the day Republican State
Chairman Neidringhaus declared that
Roosevelt had carried the state by a
majority of not less than 20,000, and
insisted that Walbridge was not de
feated. It was figured out in the head
quarters that returns from eighty-four
precincts in the state outside of St.
Louis and Kansas City compared with
the returns from the same precincts
four years ago, showed a Democratic
loss of 23 per cent. If the loss held out
proportionately throughout the state,
It was asserted. Walbridge was not
defeated.
At Democratic state headquarters, it
was claimed that Folk had carried the
state by from 25,000 to 40,000 majority,
that the rest of the state ticket was
safe, and that Parker had carried the
state by a small plurality. At night
fall these claims were still advanced.

St. Louis. Nov. 9.—With incomplete
returns at hand and ths re

al election coming In slowly
from the outlying counties, Roosevelt
has broken the “solid South" by car
rying Missouri for the Republican par
ty for the first time In thirty years.
Fifty-eight widely scattered counties
out of 114 give Roosevelt a plurality
over Parker of 12,292. Joseph W. Folk,
Democrat, for Governor, running In the
neighborhood of 35,000 ahead of the
state ticket, is given a plurality of 31,-

the city of St.. L/ouis. Carried with the
Republican landslide are candidates for
Congress in eight of the sixteen dis

THE VALUE OF CHARCOAL.
Few People Know How Useful It Is
In Preserving Health and Beauty.
Nearly everybody knows that char
coal Is the safest and most efficient
disinfectant and purifier In nature, but
faw realize lts value when taken Into
the human system for the same
cleansing purpose.
Charcoal Is a remedy that the more
you take of it the better; It is not a
drug at all. but simply absorbs the
gases and Impurities always present
in the stomach and Intestines and car
ries them out of the system.
Charcoal sweetens the breath after
smoking, drinking or after eating on
ions and other odorous vegetables.
Charcoal effectually clears and Im
proves the complexion, It whitens the
teeth and further act* as a natural
and eminently safe cathartic.
It absorbs the injurious gases which
collect In the stomach and bowels; it
•disinfects the mouth and throat from
the poison of catarrh.
All druggists sell charcoal In one
form or another, but probably the
best charcoal and the most for the
money Is In Stuart's Charcoal Lozen
ges; they are composed of the finest
powdered Willow charcoal, and other
harmless antiseptics in tablet form or
rather In the form of large, pleasant
lasting lozenges, the charcoal being
mixed with honey.
The dally use of these lozenges will
soon tell In a much Improved condi
tion of the general health, better com
plexion. sweeter breath and purer
blood, and the beauty of It Is that no
possible harm can result from their
continued use. but on the contrary,
great benefit.
A Buffalo physician in speaking of
the benefits of charcoal, says: “I ad
vise Stuart's Charcoal Lozenge* to all
patients suffering L ain gas In stomach
and bowels, and to clear the com
plexion and purify th* breath, mouth
and throat, I also believe the liver Is
greatly benefited by the dully use of
them, they cost hut 25 cents a box at
drug stores, and although In some
sense a patent preparation, yet I be

Kansas City, Mo., Nov. 9.—Frank B.

district. James W. Sullenger, the

per's election. The Republicans now

LA FOLLETTE GOES IN.
Roosevelt Rau Aliend of Every
Tieket in Wisconsin.
Milwaukee, Wis„ Nov. 9.—The result
of the election in Wisconsin shows that
Roosevelt ran ahead of every ticket
and carried the state by a plurality
estimated at between 60,000 and 75,000;
that Gov. LaFollette has been elected
by <a plurality of about 50,000 and that
the congressional coiViplexion remains
unchanged from two years ago.
The Legislature, which is to elect a
United States senator to succeed Jo
seph V. Quarles, is largely Republican.
One of the surprises in the election
was the big increase in the vote of the
Social Democratic party. Four years
ago that party polled 4,458 votes in
Milwaukee county, two years ago 10,-
704, and in this election 18,120. The
Socialist Democrats elected four as
semblymen and one senator to the Leg
islature.
In the Legislature Chairman W. D.
Connor of the LaFollette State Central
Committee claims there will be eighty
members pledged to carry out the
measures advocated by Gov. LaFol
lette. Chairman Goldin of the Stalwart
Republican faction claims that the
Stalwarts and Democrats combined
will control a majority of each house,
and he predicts that if United States
Senator Quarles is not re-elected the
Legislature will probably find itself In
a deadlock.
Perhaps the greatest surprise of the
election was the narrow margin on
which Congressman Joseph W. Bab
cock pulled through, his plurality of
8,000 two years ago being cut to about
300 this year.
WEST VIRGINIA WAS
IN LINE WITH THE REST.
Ilaxls’ State Went ReiinMlean by a
Heavy Majority.
Parkersburg, W. Va., Nov. 9.—West
Virginia seems to have kept pace with
the rest of the Union at Tuesday’s
election. Returns which came in very
slowly last night have been received
to-day with considerable rapidity, and
the result can be definitely stated. The
Democrats concede that Roosevelt
has carried the state by over 10,000,
while the Republicans claim that
Roosevelt’s majority will be the larg
est ever given to any candidate by the
state, and may exceed 30,000.
The Democrats have not conceded the
election of W. M. O. Dawson, the Re
publican nominee for Governor, al
though his election is claimed by the
Republicans toy over 20,000.
State Chairman O. 8. McKinney of
Wheeling says:
"We do not concede Dawson’s elec
tion.”
Chairman Northoott says: "We have
carried West Virginia toy over 30,000
for Roosevelt; over 20,000 for Dawson,
and the entire state ticket; we will
have 48 majority on Joint ballot in the
Legislature and have elected all five
of our congressmen."
John J. Cornwell, the Democratic
nominee for Governor, ran for ahead
of his ticket and cut down Dawson’s
majority materially.

Handsome Majority Was Riven Him
in the Eleventh.
Brunswick, Ga., Nov. 9.—Complete
returns received from thirteen of the
eighteen counties of the Eleventh Con
gressional district, shows Congressman
Brantley received the largest majority
ever given a Democratic nominee in
this district, and even surprises the
popular Congressman. The thirteen
counties so far heard from give him a
majority over Finley, Republican, of
5,706, and the remaining five counties
will carry the majority probably up to
7,000.
The official returns from the thirteen
counties heard from show his majorities
as follows:
Coffee, 265; Pierce, 345; Laurens, 700;
Lowndes, 640; Glynn, 263; Johnson, 2b9;
Appling. 335; Wayne, 372; Montgomery,
551; Dodge, 590; Clinch, 138; Telfair,
749; Ware, 486—5,703.
The estimated majorities in the five
counties not yet heard from are as fol
lows:
Irwin, 500; Charlton, 100; Camden,
100: Echols, 100; Brooks, 400.
This showing is grutjfying to Mr.
Brantley’s friends over the district, es
pecially when It Is considered that
Watson carried Johnson county, but it
gave a majority to Brantley over the
Republican opponent. In Fitzgerald,
the city went for Roosevelt by a good
majority, and Congressman Brantley

Washington, Nov. 9. —President
Roosevelt more than ever before real
izes that he is the President of all the
people of this great nation. He so
expressed himself to-day, In the midst
of his rejoicing at thousands of con
gratulations that poured in upon him
from every section of the country.
His declaration last night that he
will not be a candidate again has a
wider significance than many people
Imagine. His ambition was to win In
his own right the approval of his
countrymen. He feels that the re
sult of yesterday Justifies him In feel
ing that he has won their affection,
and he proposes by his future course
of action to retain their confidence
and respect. He fully appreciates the
fact that in order to have carried so
many heretofore Democratic strong
holds he must have received many
Democratic votes. The result in Mary
land, Now York, Indiana. Missouri and
West Virginia is conclusive on that
point.
Thinks He Has Hern Unfairly Orllt
elsed.
While the President authorized no
one to speak for hitn about his future
policy toward the South, I know that
he sometimes feels that he has been
unfairly criticised for some of his pub
lic acts. He does not forget that he
is a son of a Southern mother, and by
nature ho has a warm place In hts
heart for the fair-minded people of
tho South, as well ns those of the
North, East or the West. I venture
the prediction that before many
months lapse he will be willing to ac
cept advice and council, relative to
Southern affairs, from a better class
of men than some of those who were
handed down to him as political lega
cies from former administrations.
President Roosevelt was overwhelm
ed with congratulations to-day. They
wort; presented by nt)uny people In per
son and were received by mail and by
telegraph from every state and from
almost every city in the country.
The President was In exuberant
spirits. Official business was nearly
impossible of transaction by the Pres
ident to-day. Scores of people called
on him to extend their felicitations up
on the result of the election. While he
radiated good feeling, President
Roosevelt was perfectly calm and un
demonstrative.
Won't He Misinterpreted.
The President said to-day he felt
that his announcement, that he would
not accept another nomination would
prevent, during the next, four years,
any misinterpretation of his actions,
personal or official. He expressed
himself as being in entire sympathy
with the evident belief of the Ameri
can people in the undesirability of a
third term for a President, and he,
therefore, had made his statement as
unequivocal as possible.
Shortly after noon a delegation of
the prominent residents of Washington
was received by the President. The
delegation was entirely non-partisan,
James L. Norris, the Democratic na
tional committeeman for this district,
and other Democrats joining In the
cordial congratulations to Mr. Roose
velt.
Orie of the callers on the President
was Mrs. Robert Anderson, widow of
Maj. Robert Anderson, the hero of
Fort Kurnter. As she was scarcely able
to leave her carriage. President
Roosevelt went to the main entrance
to the executive offices to greet her,
Hhe presented to him a bunch of beau
tiful pink roses, the card bearing the
inscription, "with my warmest, warm
est congratulations."
The President chatted cordially with
Mrs. Anderson, expressing to her his
sincere appreciation of her call and
her congratulations.
The President will be given a sere
nade by the Spanish war veterans on
Monday night. _
