THE PEOPLE’S CHOICE. “I think that almost all men who have been brought into close contact, personally and officially, with Judge Taft are agreed that he combines, as very, very few men can combine, a standard of unflinching rectitude on every point of public duty, and a lite rally dauntless courage and willingness to bear re sponsibilities, with a knowledge of men, and a far- reaching tact and kindliness, which enable his great abilities and high principles to be of use in a way that would be impossible were he not thus gifted with a capacity' to work hand in hand with his fellows.” Thus wrote Mr. Roosevelt over seven years ago, long ere the name of William Howard Taft was mentioned in connection with the highest office in the gift of the United States electorate. The President’s warm eulogy may have been coloured by his feelings of intimate friendship for the sub ject, but the qualities he attributes to his friend are heartily endorsed by all whose privilege it has been to know big, bluff, wholesome “Bill”Taft, the man who has been described as a thundering terror to the malefactor, the grafter, and the sandbag po litician, and a gentle, sweet-tempered protector to the children, by whom he is adored. The personal character of the President-elect is above criticism, and let it be remembered that the character of a man must invariably reflect itself in his work, either for good or for evil. This truism is once mere attested by the record of Mr. Taft’s public career, a long record of service for the people on the judicial Bench .and in the capacity of gdministrator in the Philippine Islands. As a leading light in State and Federal Courts, and later as Solicitor-General of the United States, he gave abundant proof of those qualities of head and heart which have gained for him the approbation of the American people. Countless reams have been written and innumerable speeches delivered about the chaos that is said to characterise the intricacies of American political pro cedure ; how a mediocre individual, chosen for high office by reason of his plasticity by the political bosses who run the voting machine, is pitchforked into that office whether the people will it or no. This may happen—has happened—in instances where such appointments as State Governorships or Con gressional seats are in question, but does any sane person believe it possible to force a nonentity, a political pawn, on a vastly intelligent nation against its will ? If there are any who still cling to this discredited fallacy, they should recall the Presi dential campaign of four years ago, when the De mocratic leaders nominated for the Presidency a legal gentleman whose record was a blank sheet, a gentle man who had never done anything bad because he had never done anything at all. The popular verdict .went dead against Judge Parker at the polls, so the defeated party, having learnt their lesson, fell back on a candidate who at least had an overwhelming amount of lip-service to his credit. This, perhaps, was better than nothing, but it was not good enough for a nation which had become accustomed to having a man of action at the executive helm. In Mr. Taft they have appointed a worthy suc cessor to the present occupant of the White House. If past achievements count for aught, the new Presi dent will not be lacking in that fiery energy, that wealth of initiative, that boundless courage, which have endeared the man he succeeds to millions of his fellow-citizens. Strict impartiality, absolute free dom from the barest taint of class prejudice, distin guished his judicial rulings; clear-sightedness, a sane grasp of statecraft, and unflinching determination, his administration at Manila. His bitterest enemy has never dared to cast an aspersion on the reputation of William Howard Taft, who has held rigidly aloof from the contaminating welter of political de bauchery which the present campaign has done so much to unveil. The remorseless rays of the search light thrown by Mr. Hearst on many phases of na tional politics have revealed no dark spot either on the public or private individuality of Mr. Taft. His election is a striking vindication of the ballot, which, despite certain abuses to which the system, like every other form of political machinery, is subject, is in the main an unequivocal expression of vox populi. The world at large has every reason to congratulate the United States electorate on the sound judgment it has displayed on this occasion in selecting its Chief Magistrate. H. G. B.

Upon receipt of the news of Mr. Taft’s election, a Daily Record representative called on Mr. T. St. John Gaffney, the American Consul-General in Dree den, whose forecast of the result appeared in our issue of Tuesday. He was very gratified at the sue cess of the Republican candidate, and gave it as hie. opinion that “the American electorate has won an other signal triumph over the forces of dernagogu- ery, disorder, anarchy, and social revolution.” “By this most fortunate result,” he' continued, “peace and good-will are assured for four years more among our fellow-citizens, and the strict enforcement of law and order cannot fail to bring about the imme diate revival of business prosperity, which the un certainty of the political situation has too long re tarded. Some weeks preceding the Chicago Conven tion, I stated in the Daily Record my conviction that Mr. Taft would be nominated and elected by ap proximately the same majority as Mr. Roosevelt was four years ago. Needless to say, I am pleased to see the f accuracy of my prediction thus attested, the prediction being primarily based on the private character and public record of Mr. Taft during the last twenty-five years. No man in America has had a wider or more thorough training for the office of Chief Executive than he, or has enjoyed a more ex tensive experience in State and Federal administra tion ; and in addition his work in the Philippines won for him high rank amongst the great colonial administrators of the world. The Republican can didate was a man of achievement; his opponent was a man of verbiage and theories. I consider the De mocratic party was foredoomed to defeat for the reason that its leaders have persistently opposed every policy which has contributed to the prosperity of the United States at home and its prestige abroad. Its own policy has been characterised by excessive parochialism; it advocated the cessation of American dominance over Hawaii, the Philippines, and other colonial dependencies. It has placed itself on record against the Army and Navy; it opposed the cruise of the Atlantic Fleet round the world, the cruise that has evoked such a spontaneous manifestation of res pect and friendliness from the peoples at whose ports it has touched. Neither at home nor abroad has it been denied that the cruise has proved a potent factor in spreading international amity, any more than it has been denied that the Democratic party vainly en deavoured to frustrate this great undertaking. The vote of Tuesday is in my opinion, a splendid vindica tion of popular suffrage, and one of which every American citizen has reason to be proud,” GENERAL NEWS. NEWS FROM ENGLAND. THE HOUSE OF COMMONS. London, November 3. Sir Edward Grey, in reply to various questions concerning Persian affairs, said that the Russian Government had acted throughout in complete cooperation with England and had advised the Shah to summon a Parliament. The British and Russian representatives in Teheran had made communications to that effect to the Sha’s officials on the 11th of October in identical terms. THE GORDON BENNETT PRIZE. London, November 3. The Gordon Bennett prize in the balloon race which started from Berlin on October 11 has now been awarded to the Swiss Helvetia (pilot, Capt. Schaeck), the decision to confer it upon Mr. J. E. Dunville, of the British balloon, Banshee, having been revoked. The Helvetia reached Norway, and was towed to the coast without touching the water by a steamer. Mr. H. Perrin, the secretary of the British Aero Club, forwarded yesierday, on behalf of the club, a protest to the Berlin Club against the decision to award the first prize in the recent Gordon Bennett balloon race to the Swiss balloon Helvetia. “We have definite information,” said Mr. Perrin, “that the Helvetia fell in the sea and had to be towed ashore. That fact, according to the International rules under which the race was run, disqualifies any competitor. I am to day wiring to the Federation Aeronautique . International in Paris, asking whether they were consulted before the Berlin Club arrived at a decision. In any event a member of the British club is to proceed to Berlin to fight the matter out, and I am told that the French club is also to enter a protest the decision. NEWS FROM AMERICA.
