The following statement was given out
at the White House today:
'The President regards the result OF
the elections as extremely gratifying.
He has sent letter Of hearty coDgrstu-
lstion to Mr.. Honey on the result 10 San
Francisco. The victory in New Jersey
was precisely what happened nine years
ago 10 the middle of President McKiD-
lsy's administration. He had carried
New Jersey by 1000, and two Yeas
afterward the republican candidate for
Governor had 5, 800. the vote being cut
down, just as Happened 10 the case oil
Judge Fort. As compared with the
elections next preceding the last PIT =
dental election, We have dope decidedly
better than We did In 1908. Then
this year, Rhode Island and Maryland
went against us; but this year we
have won a sweeping victory In Ken
lucky for the first time since McKin-
ley's first election and the victory
ia Massachusetts was also remarkable.
The showing in Pennsylvania and Ne
brsska is equally good. Moreover the
showing in New York WAS excellent,
far better then was the case prior to the
last presidential election. That the
result in Manhattan was due to purely
local causes is shown by comparing 1t
with the decisive triumphs in Brooklyn,
Buffalo, Albany and In the State gener
ally. The Presidents own home coun'
ty of Nassau made a better showing
than 1t ever has 10 an off year. AS a
whole, the showing has been sn i'm
provement over what 1t was four years
ago and eight years ago."
Senator Hey burp, of Idaho called al
the White House today and dropped a
small bomb for Wall street. 81 asked

banks the smount of their reserves in
currency" said Senator Hepburn. "Tbe
President did not express any opinion OF
ths efficacy of the plan" continued the
Senator, "but be asked me to reduce
the suggestion to writing and l have
done so."
