As wc close all of our forms on the press tonight, everything in dicates the election of that great scholar and statesman, to the Presi dency of this country, the Hon. Woodrow "Wilson of New Jersey. It will not be a surprise to the masses of the people of this country, be because from the very beginning of the present campaign, such was the result predicted. With Theodore Roosevelt upon the one side, and Taft upon the other, the middle of the lig road was left for the champion of Democracy, and well has he won the distinguished laurels. Woodrow Wilson will be the President, for the whole people and the News is more than glad that it has had a part in the election of such an able man. The pet theories of Mr. Roosevelt in his effort to divert a ma jority of the people to his plan of ihinkinir has not availed much. It is possible, however, that he has played a good second in the race, but that is all. As for President Taft, and tho Republican party, it is a thing of the past. Rent asunder, disorganized, defeated and slain, tho great body of the people heretofore, both North and South, who have given it their .support, will now look elsewhere for a bit of courage and hope. As has been predicted years ago, the Republican party has been simply one out for the spoils and public plunder. Its final downfall was inevitable, as the verdict of the people of yester day declared. Indeed tho skyes look brighter today. With a Democratic Pres ident to be inaugurated next March, a waive of prosperit' and confi dence will sweep tho entire country. Let no honest man despair. The election of yesterday settle one thins, and that is that there are j'et enough good people in this great country to wrest it from the hands of the spoiler and restore it to tho keeping of thoso who believe that public oflico is a public trust. Again we say, three hearty cheers for Wilson and tho great Democratic party, and tho good wise people of this country who again restore it to power. We could have written three or four columns about the mission ary meeting, but one's words are limited on a country press. The services made us realize how great kio the opportunities to learn, to serve, to give and to bo happy right hero in our own town. Never have wo been made to see so clearly tho advantages that aro here. Tho churches tho Methodist, tho Baptist, tho Presbyterian and others aro doors to higher education, and best of all, lead us to that which is creat and good. Men, women and children, who aro in tho Sunday Schools, tho missionary auxiliaries, and in tho societies of tho young people, have possibilities undreamed of, and by work and sin core efforts may seo them realized. Tho missionary meeting was full of down-to-earth ideas as well as inspiring thoughts and refreshings of lovo and faith. Judge Mercer made a very enthusiastic speech to the Democrats at Hardinsburg last Saturday. Tho Judge said among other things that his first visit to Hardinsburg was in 1844. lie was thero at a great Democratic rally. Polk and Clay wcro tho candidates for Pres ident. Polk was a Democrat and Clay a "Whig. Ho said tho issue before tho people then was tho Mime as it is today the tarifT. Clay was for a high tariff, and Polk for a tariff for revenue. Polk won and tho people never had bettor times. "Wilson ho said will win in this campaign, and to his mind tho issue was more impoitant to tho great mass of people than in that day and time. Tho Judge for over sixty years has been a Democrat, and has never failed in all that time to lift his voice and cast his voto for Democracy. Tho Owonsboro Messenger was tho first paper to bring tho elec tion news to Clovorport. It reached us at five o'clock this morning, giving tho returns from every State in tho Nation. Tho Messenger is to be congratulated, and their enterprise competes with any daily in the State.
