Men will give him 317 ballots In
e Electoral College against Mr.

f will be 161. William J. Bryan
ffered his third and most crushing
ifent in his twelve-year run for
-esldent of the United States.
To enforce his policies President
:ft will have an overwhelmingly
apubllcan Congress, the Senate be
5 as strongly Republican as be
re, and the House Increasing its
eprnbllcan majority from 67 to 65.

the Taft column by 60,000.
Mr. Taft is successful in Mary
land by a small plurality. The Re
publicans claim it by from 6,000 to
10,000. The returns indicate the
correctness of the former figure.
Mr. Bryan carried the solid South,
the reports indicating that the ne
groes in some of the States, Georgia
for instance, voted for him in large
numbers.
In the middle West Mr. Bryan did
not make the running his managers

Minnesota provided another old
time Republican landslide plurality,

cording to the early returns.
Nebraska Is claimed by the Demo
crats by 15,000, although the Re
publicans insist that the result is
still in doubt.
Colorado's plurality for Mr. Taft
will equal what it gave Mr. Roose
velt four years ago. Generally In
the Pacific Coast States the Repub
lican pluralities are Imposing, al
though in most cases a little below
the Roosevelt figures.

40,000. Kansas leaned to Mr. Taft
by 20,000. Idaho la Republican by

HOUSE REPUBLICAN.
Speaker Cannon Among Those Re
turned. Close Call for Many.
Washington, D. C, Nov. 4. Once
more the Republicans have carried
the lower house of Congress by a
safe majority, but the defeat of the
Den-.ocrivts Is nothing like as terrific
as it was in 1904, when President
Roosevelt headed the winning ticket.
Secretary Loudenslager, of the Re
publican Congressional Campaign
Committee, claimed tho House a few
days a?o by a majority of sixty-three
and It looks as If he had guessed
correctly. The Republican majority
la the Sixtieth Congress is fifty-seven.
In spite of the hard fight made
against Speaker Cannon in the Eigh
teenth Illinois District, be has been
re-elected by a plurality of from
6.000 to 7.000, and practically all
of his warm supporters on the floor
have been returned, though some by
greatly reduced pluralities. Ttls is
particularly true of Representative
Dalzell, whom Edward Duffy, of
Pittsburg, gave a hard fight.
There was no change In the poli
tical aspect of the delegation from
New York, though some of the Dem
ocrats In New York City had close
calls.
Hlllquit, Socialist candidate for
Congress, was beaten by Goldfogle,
Tarn., and with him fell Robert Hun
ter and J. G. Stokes, candidates for
Congress.
One of the surprises is the de
feat in Iowa of Representative W.
P. Hepburn, author of the Hepburn
Railroad Rate law. Ho was defeated
by J. D. Jameson, a democrat.

A Mttlc History and a Mttle Phlloso.
piiy. Vow here I'Asf is the Aver
no of Individual Comfort nnd Ma
terial Well IleinK So High.
Washington, Nov. 4. In a Thanks
giving proclamation of unusual
length, President Roosevelt named
Thursday, November 26, as Thanks
giving Day. The proclamation fol
lows :
Once again the season Is at hand
when, according to the ancient cus
tom of our people. It becomes the
duty of the President to appoint a
day of prayer and thanksgiving to
God.
Year by year this nation grows in
strength and worldly power. Dur
ing the century and a quarter that
has elapaed since our entry Into the
circle of independent peoples we
have grown and prospered In ma
terial things to a degree never known
before and not now known In any
other country.' The thirteen colo
nies which struggled along the sea
roast of the Atlantic and were hem
med in but a few miles west of tide
water by the Indian haunted wilder
ness have been transformed Into the
mightiest republic which the world
has ever seen. Its domains stretch
across the continent from one to the
other of the two greatest oceans, and
It exercises dominion alike in the
Arctic and tropic realms. The growth
In wealth and population has surpas
sed even the growth in territory.
Nowhere else in the world is the av
erage of Individual comfort and ma
terial well being aa high as In our
fortunate land.
For the very reason that In ma
terial well being we have thus
abounded we owe it to the Almighty
to show equal progress in moral and
spiritual things. With a nation aa
with the individuals who make up
a nation, material well being Is an
Indespensable foundation. But the
foundation avails nothing by Itself.
That life is wasted and worse than
wasted which is spent in piling heap
upon heap those things which min
ister merely to the pleasure of the
body and to the power that rests
Only on wealth. Upon material well
being as a foundation must be raised
the structure of the lofty life of the
spirit if this nation is properly to
fulfil Its great mission and to ac
complish all that we so ardently hope
and desire. The things of the body
are good, the things of the Intellect
better, but best of all are the things
of the soul, for in the nation as in the
Individual in the long run it is char
acter that counts. Let us therefore
as a people set our faces resolutely
against evil and with broad charity,
with kindliness and good will to
ward all men, but with unflinching
determination to smite down wrong,
strive with all the strength that is
given us for righteousness in public
and in private life.
Now, therefore, I, Theodore Roose
velt, President of the United States,
do set apart Thursday, the 26th day
of November next, as a day of gen
eral thanksgiving and prayer, and
on that day I recommend that the
people shall cease from their dally
work, and In their homes or in their
churches meet devoutly to thank the
Almighty for the many and great
blessings they have received in the
past and to pray that they may be
given the strength so to order their
lives as1 to deserve a continuation of
these blessings in the future.

as Parliament was adjourned for the
night. When the Houso was discus

was caused by the display of a pla
card and sudden shrill cries from
the ladies' gallery demanding votes
for women, while simultaneously a
bundle of hand bills fluttered down
from the strangers' gallery at tho
opposite end of the chamber, and a
man shouted protests against "Injus
tice to women."
Attendants hurried to the galleries
and the man was unceremoniously
ejected, but from the ladies' gallery
sounds were heard of a desperate
struggle. Two suffragettes hnd firm,
ly chained themselves to the gillie
and resisted for a time all efforts
at removal, crying continuously In
shrill tones their demands for votes.

Ex-Gov. Utter Says Decision Wnj
Made After His Re-election
Two Years Ago.
CONDEMNS GOVERNOR KIGGIriS,
Announcement Made Now So It Clin.
not Do Said Alilrlch Was Forced
Out. Once Ruled Senate, Rut
Times Have Changed.
Providence, R. I., Nov. 4. That
Senntor Nelson W. Alilrlch has told
him that he will not be a candidate
for re-election to the United States
Senate in 1911 was the statement
made by Gov. George H. Utter at a
big Republican rally In Infantry
Hall. Ex-Gov. Utter'a statement sur
prises not only the rank and file of
the party, but the leaders as well.
Mr. Utter made this statement, he
explained, because of the fiery at
tacks on Aldrlch made by Gov. lo
gins, and In order that If AMtir:i
should retire It would he clear that
he had not been forced out by any
"Llttlo Olant Killer."
Aldrleh'a statement to him v;s
made two years ago, said Mr. 1'tter,
Just after the Legislature had re el
ected him to the United States Sen
ate. At that time Aldrlch wanted
to call the General Assembly togeth
er In grand committee and make the
announcement that he would not
again be a candidate. Ex-Gov. Utter
said that he persuaded Aldrlch not to
do so.
He condemned Gov. Hlgglns for
his attacks on Aldrlch, and continu
ing, said:
"I am going to tell you something
that I have never told In public be
fore this evening, but which I want
now to go on record. Two years
ago next January, on the day that
Senator Aldrlch was re-elected, he
asked me I then being Governor
if the House and Senate could not
meet together, as he had something
he wished to say to them. Because
of his poor health, particularly evi
dent that day, I advised against his
undergoing the strain.
"He said he wished to say pub
licly that he fully appreciated his
re-election to the Senate, and that
he would never again be a candi
date for re-election."
ALDRICII WEARY OF SENATE.
He Wus Once Ruler, but Times Have
Drought a Change.
Washington, Nov. 3. It has been
known among Senator Aldrich's
friends in the Senate for a long time
that he would not be n candidate to
succeed himself upon the expiration
of his present term, and from tlmi
to time during the last two years
the report has obtained publicity.
Senator Aldrlch himself has never
taken the trouble to confirm or deny
It for publication. If he had not
reached a settled conclusion on the
subject, however, the course of
events in tho Senate in the last two
years would have tended to increase
his inclination to quit tho game on
march 4, 1911.
The Senate now is very far from
what it has been for many years
from the Aldrlch point of view.
