THE RICHMOND PALLADIUM AN D SUN-J tLEGRA3i, WEDNESDAY, NOVE3IBEK 4, 1908.

PALLADIUM DEMONSTRATES SUPERIORITY

Furnishes News of Greatest of All National Elections to The People First and Ac-

TOUR EXTRA EDITIONS ISSUED DURING NIGHT.

In Additionjo this Stroke of Enterprise Thousands of People Heard the Returns at The Coliseum.

While thousands of persons were being provided with the returns at the coliseum by the Palladium last night, the office force was equally busy. Between 7 o'clock last evening and 7 o'clock this morning the Palladium secured the news and printed four spe

cial election extras, whereby it placed the news before the portion of the public that was on the streets or remained at home. The first extra was devoted in the main to the sweeping victory of Taft in New York state, and the surprisingly large vote in favor of Hughes for governor. New York had been classed as a doubtful state, and it had been recognized that the party gaining its thirty-nine electoral votes would stand the best chance for the election of Its candidate. The most brilliant feature la connection with the New York state returns was the fact Taft outran Roosevelt in some sections. The second extra carried announcement that Marshall was conceded a victory and the general news from the entire country much of which proved surprising. This edition also contained the first table of the results of the county vote. The third extra waa sent throughout the county for the "country circulation." All the Palladium's rural

route subscribers were furnished with i

the news of the election at their homes this morning when the first delivery was made on the rural routes. The fourth extra was run off for local distribution and sales. In order that the small towns in the " county might be supplied with the news before access could be gained by the 'railroad trains, copies of the third and fourth extras were taken about the county in an automobile. Everywhere the occupants of the car were greeted with congratulations and words of commendation at the enterprise shown. And then there was the meeting at the coliseum where, during the course of the evening and early morning hours ' at least 15,000 persons gathered. The Palladium was made the object of commendation on every side for its public spirited attitude and progressive Ideas. Words of praise were expressed by men and women from all walks of life. Every seat in the building was occupied and men and women were stand-

manner to receive returns than ever before." M. D. Poulter "The plan was very good indeed and is highly appreciated by all." George Deuker "It was very fine. The Palladium is to be commended on the able way it handled the returns." Walter Cook "It was very satisfactory and is well deserving of commendation." J. W. Mount "It was all right. We never have had more accurate re

ports." S. F. Watson "It was first class in every respect. They were the finest reports Richmond ever has had." C. H. Bulla "Great credit is due the Palladium for its services in getting correct reports. Simply fine." A. H. Pyle "Better service could not have been desired." W. A. Bulla "Excellent in every respect. Great credit is due Palladium." J. S. Fitzgibbons "Very commen

datory. Shows public spiritedness ofi

the Palladium In providing a place for the citizens to receive returns." W. N. Penny "The Palladium did every thing in its power for good service. The public should appreciate it highly." Rev. R. J. Wade "I have nothing but praise for The Palladium. It could not have been better. A great deal of credit is due Richmond's most progressive newspaper." Dr. Charles Bond "It couldn't have been conducted better and more creditably." James Harris "Everything was carried out in good respectable order and all reports were exact and in

t form."

H. J. Hanes "It was all right, nothing more need to be said." John Zwissler "It was all right, a grand success and very commendatory in the Palladium." Horace Hadley "More accurate returns were received than ever before." Ed J. Lichtenfels "It was very good service." John Penny "I have nothing but commendation for the Palladium." George Bartel "A very fine service. Certainly appreciated by all." E. E. Towle "Very good indeed. Praise is heard from all sides regarding the excellent manner In which it has been conducted." C. A. Rigel "Very good indeed. No other praise is needed." G. G. Ferling "The work of the Palladium is much appreciated by all." Rev. J. O. Campbell "I consider it the most successful method of announcing election returns that I have ever seen. I consider it a success in every respect. The Palladium deserves the especial commendation for the excellent service rendered." E. R. Thompson "I think it one of

the most complete and successful

methods ever used, as it reached the people directly."

Throughout today the Palladium has been the recipient of congratulatory messages from local citizens. They have come by , post, telephone and many men and women called at the offlee to express their gratitude. It was the first time in the history of the city that a newsoaper hired the largest building and Invited the public to be-'

come Its guests irrespective of party leaning or favoritism of any kind. The hall was decorated with the pictures of the candidates of both parties. Although the Palladium is a republican newspaper no attempt was made for a party display. The total absence of the partisan spirit tended greatly to the promotion of the satisfaction derived by the public in securing the returns at the coliseum. The republicans seemed to be somewhat in excess in numbers or at least in noise-making power as returns favorable to- their candidates, were greeted with greater outbursts of applause. Supper Served. Supper was served by the woman's

auxiliary of the Young Men's Christian Association to about 500 persons. Many citizens went to the coliseum for ' supper and remained until the returns I were sufficient to indicate the trend of j the election. Women were particularly prominent by their presence. Although j

l crowd or boys with tin horns was in evidence early in the evening, it dispersed in a few hours. It was a crowd with great stamina as was proved when about 500 tired and sleepy per

sons were asked to leave the building it about C o'clock this morning. The tact that this great number remained until there was no prospect for further immediate returns was a barometer of the remarkable interest that has been i taken is the outcome. j What The People Say. i The following are a few of the voluntary expressions of appreciation for the hospitality and courtesy of The Palladium: Henry Deuker It was better, more ' accurate and more satisfactory In thej

New York, Nov. 4. The republi

cans have carried New York state for both the national and state tickets. Taft has won by a tremendous plurality and Hughes by a good safe margin. Taft's plurality may reach 200,000 and he has done the surprising thing of carrying Greater New York by a small figure. Hughes' plurality now is estimated at 15,000 to 20,000, but it may be greater. Shearn, the Hearst candidate for governor, polled between 25,000 and 30,000 in Greater New York. Taft's great plurality was due almost wholly to democratic losses in New York and Brooklyn. The figures show that Taft's vote up state fell off heavily from that 'received by Roosevelt in 1904, but Bryan's vote in New York and the other counties making up the greater city slumped heavily from Parker's and even from his own vote in 1900. Bryan Gets a Knifing. Tammany and Pat McCarren's machine in Brooklyn evidently knifed Bryan unmercifully. Had they worked for him loyally, instead of betraying him, the result in this state might have been actually close. But the hopes of "Fingy" Connors, Murphy and the McCarren gang were centered on Chanler and they sold Bryfen out to gain their end. Likewise the machine republicans sold out Hughes. Never was there a more striking example of how little political bosses care for principle than In this election. The race track and gambling element of whatever party was, of course against Hughes. A whole train load of track followers and horse owners came over from Baltimore, where a race meeting is being held at Plmlico, to vote for Chanler. The solidarity of the racing vote was shown by the results. How Face Influence Counted. The election districts in the Sixteenth Assembly district of Brooklyn, which Includes Brighton, Sheepshead Bay, and the Gravesend race tracks,

gave the following vote: Hughes Fourth 64 Fifth 67 Sixth i 70 Seventh 122 Twelfth 120

Socialists Are Badly Beaten. There was the usual great fuss about

illegal votin- with the usual lack of

results. The number of prisoners taken from the polling places to the seven police courts of the city and ar

raigned for alleged violation of the election law was 431. All but seven

were discharged, one being held for

trial and six for examination. Great Crowds Watch Results

The closing of the polls was the signal for a rush to Park row, where the newspapers had strung up large white

canvases on which were thrown election results, and thousands of persons congregated in City Hall park and nearby streets. There were other crowds in front of the bulletin boards on Broadway, In Harlem, and In Brooklyn. Two hours after the polls had closed several newspapers issued extras announcing the election of Taft, and throughout the thousands arose a now familiar refrain, "Taft, Taft, Big Bill Taft." From opposing thousands came the chorus: "Wait and see; Taft has not won yet." "Broadway was the scene of much revelry, a continuous parade of merrymakers moving up one side of the "Great White Way," and down the other.
