Sixteen huge battleships with their
auxiliary vessels, drydocks, Coaling
stations and fortified harbors for the
retirement of the same in case of
need are now assured the Pacific
coast, according to a dispatch from
San Francisco, which quotes Secre-
tary of the Navy Metcalf as saying
that such an equipment is absolutely
necessary on the Pacific. In a recent
announcement Secretary Metcalf stated
that the navy department would soon
pursue the two ocean standard" as
a national policy for the navy. Rear
Admiral Wainwright VINO is regarded
as the personal representative with the
Paclnc meet of secretary Metcaf ana
President hooseVelU, at once announces
wnaC TINS poncy is, lie says:
Il first heard the two ocean" stan
dard used by Justice Harlan, speaking
at a naval league dinner about TWO
years ago, paraphrasIng it from the
English two power standard To my
mind 1t is logically required, to afford
an adequate defence, that a fleet be
based on our Atlantic coast and one
based on our Pacific coast. Each fleet
should consist of sixteen battleships
ready for service and eight under re-
pair, thus having each ship ready for
service and under drills for eight
months and four months under repair,
with full opportunity to give leave to
officers and men in their home ports.
with sixteen battleships always
ready ample time would be afforded
for much needed battle drills. Tar
get practice would be carried on as
at present. With each fleet there
should be division of armored cruis-
ers and one of scouts. With each
squadron there should be a division of
destroyers, repair ship, an ammuni-
ton ship and a hospital ship.a With
each division a fleet collier and supply
ships, according to circumstances.
The fleet hospital ships, one for
each squadron, should be in addition
to any ordinary hospital ship, as now
constructed and used. They should
be for surgical cases only and no or
binary sick taken on board. They
should be kept surgically clean anC
reserved for the wounded in action.
With these fleets we must have
the necessary docks, coaling and re-
pair stations. The docks must be
nearest the sea, well protected anc
capable of docking injured ships
Such a navy force would sufficiently
defend our coasts and insure a hear.
ing to our just demands in the pres,
ent condition of other navies; and the
completion of the Panama canal, in
creasing our power of concentration
should make this force sufficient, il
spite of a considerable increase in
the navies of our possible enemies.
I'VE would be unwise to establish Z
battleship feet in the Pacific without
having more docks on the Pacific coast
Mare Island would be still useful as ;
building yard and for repairs of cruis
ers and auXiliaries, but we must have
docks in other harbors where injured
battleships can be repaired.

TAFT ELECTED PRESIDENT,
Electoral Votes, Bryan l56. Repub-
licans Retain Majority in House
and Senate.

New York, Nov. 4.-Practicaliy
complete returns received up to a late
hour tonight indicate that William
Fl. Taft of Ohio, as president-elect,
will have vote of 327 in the Electoral
College. This is within two votes ol
the forecast made by Chairman Frank
Hitchcock, of 325 votes, and is eighty
five more than majority out of the
total electoral vote of 483.
The most important news of the late
returns indicates that Maryland, after
vacillating during the day and appar-
emily being safe for the Democracy,
has been swung into the Taft column.
The unofficial figures give Mr.. Taft
the State by 136 votes.
Maryland was the last of the doubt
full States to be heard from. Indiana
and West Virginia, as we'll as Mon
tana, turned out to be safely Republi-
! can. Colorado went for Bryan.
An eleventh-hour development was
the placing of Missouri, which had
been conceded to Bryan, almost in the
Taft column. Without Missouri, Taft
would have sixty-seven more than the
number necessary to choice. but
should his present lead. in Missouri
be maintained he will be elected Pres
ident by exactly two more electoral
votes than was originally claimed for
him by National Chairman Hitchcock.
Bryan has a total of 156 votes,
twenty less than he received in 1896.
In 1904 Parker received only 14O votes;
in 1900 Bryan received 155, and in 1896
the Nebraskan received 176 votes.
Taft 327 electoral votes compare
with 336 received by Roosevelt in
1904, 292 received by Mckinley in 1900,
and I'll received by Mckinley in 1895.
National Chairman Norman E.
Mack Of the Democratic party issued
. statement tonight in which he de-
-clared that he did not believe that Mr..
Bryan would again be candidate for
the Presidency. He said that he be-
lieved that the Nebraskan might be
candidate for the United States Senate
In 1911, provided the Legislature of
his State is Democratic in that year.
when the first vacancy will OCCUR.
The latest returns indicate that in
the National House of Representatives
the Republicans will have 2O8 MEM
The Lafayette advertiser. [volume] (Vermilionville [i.e. Lafayette], La.) 1865-19??, 1908-11-06

bers and the Democrats 172, with
IL districts unreported.
Taft's plurality in the State of New
York, according to corrected returns
late Tonight, is 2O3, 495, more than
2S, 600 in excess of President ROose-
velt's plurality of four years ago.
Governor Charles E. Hughes was re-
elected in New York State by II, l59
The returns as between President and
Governor indicate heavy splitting of
tickets.
The heavy vote in Ohio made figures
extraordinarily late, owing to the i'm
mens9 size of the ballot. Taft carried
mis- own State, however, by $4,000 plu-
rality, a reduction of more than 2OO,-
600 from the Roosevelt vote of four
years ago. The Democratic State
ticket in Ohio, headed by Judson Har-
mon for Governor. appears to be safe
ly elected. The State Legislature,
which is to Choose a successor to SeD-
ator Foraker. appears To be in doubt
as between the Republicans and the
Democrats.
In Indiana Taft was successful in
carrying the State by about 5000, but
the entire Democratic State ticket,
headed by Marshall for Governor, was
elected. The Congressional delega-
ton from the State shows a gain of
seven Democrats.
The returns from West Virginia,
owing to the mountainous character
of the country, are slow in coming in.
A sufficient number of counties and
districts have been heard from, how
ever. to show that Taft has safe plu-
rality.
Colorado early in the day shifted
from the doubtful column to the Bryan
list. The Legislature. which is to
choose successor to Senator Teller,
also is apparently Democratic.
Bryan's victory in his home State
OF Nebraska was sweeping one.
Five of Nebraska's Congressman will
be Democratic, while in the Legisla-
ture only eighteen Republicans seem
to be elected, out of total of 133
Senators and Representatives.

attractions being in line with the two
teams. There were $500 fans at the
park.
When Mayor Harper went into tie
box to pitch the first ball there were
loud cries for Captain Van Haltren of
Oakland to come to bat and smash 1t
over the fence. but Van held back; then
the mayor tossed tie ball twice in the
direction Of Jeffries behind the bat and
the game was on.
Delmas of Los Angeles did some
beautiful fielding and there was swat
by Happy Hogan to third base that
scored two runs. This remarkable hit
came In the sixth inning and was due
largely to the fact that Altman. Oak

True to the time honored custom of
the last 10 years. the San Franchises
baseball team inaugurated the season
nine opposed to 1.-THE Portland Bea-
vers. The score was to and the
home team scored its runs ere the game
was 10 minutes old, winning warm
spots for the players in the hearts Of
the 5000 fans who crowded the stand
and bleachers and rooted with all the
energy that had been worked up In
their system after five months of absti-
nence from their favorite pastime
Every one agreed that the eye opens
in the pages of local baseball history
as an event worthy to be placed in the
class with the record breakers. Moth
ing was lacking to make the curtain
raising struggle one to be remembered.
First of all, it was great game, and
to the grounds he is happy. Then
there was crowd of 5000 people, a
victory for the home team and an ideal
San Francisco day. Truly. the fates
showered an additional quantity of
good fortune on the Pacific Coast
league this time.
BOTH TEAMS CHEERED
The crowd proved to be the same
old baseball crowd that only San Fran
cisco knows-an aggregation of fans,
young and old rich and poor, large and
small. all just as willing to root for
the visiting, team as for the native
tossers. And as the game progressed
and the Beavers from Portland played
better ball, the fans remembered them
with their cheers. 1t is safe to say
that had the game resulted in a tie,
the assembled multitude would have
been fully as much pleased.
The game provided only two heroes
the opposing pitchers. Jones and Gar
rett. Both these men were SO busy
gathering in. the honors that their team
mates never had chance to spring
into the lfmeligIt. though there were
several on the job who did the best
they could and it was not for lack of
willingness that they failed, but be-
cause of lack of opportunity.
From the moment that big Jack
O'connell said play BALI till Bassey
retired the Portland side in the ninth
inning. the rival pitchers were tossing
as two sIabsters never tossed before
in an opening game in any league.
Jones won His game, thanks to the
great work of his team behind him
Garrett pitched even better ball. but
the unfortunute error that always hap
pens in ball games occurred in the
very first inning and gave the Seals
the pair of runs that proved ample to
break up the game.

A roar of applause and welcome
greeted little Georgia Hildebrand, the
first Seal up in the initial inning. Hide
looked defiant as Garrett wound up, but
his expression was shortly changed to
one of sorrow when the Texas sIabster
quickly struck him out
Larry Piper came next and quickly
dispatched hot grounder to Shortstop
Cooney. The little fellow fielded the
kink in his throwing arm and heaved
wide to first, giving Piper life. There
were shouts of giee as Williams came
along, and the big blonde first baseman
repaid his admirers with healthy
bingle into left field.
Melchoir followed with a grounder
to second. He was fielded out, but ad-
vanced both runners on the paths. With
two out of the way Zeider contributed
a grounder to Johnson. Like Cooney,
Johnson grabbed the ball nicely and
also pegged it away wide at first base.
Both Piper and Williams saw their
chance and started for the plate. Both
arrived with time to spare Such is
the story of the first two runs of the
season.
Though the Beavers came back fight
ing in their half of the second inning
they could not do any good for them
selves. Cap McCredie picked out a hit
and so did Johnson, but the others who
had chances fell down, and there was
not even a lookin waiting the base run
ners
SHERIFF OPENS THE GAME
After the nervousness had worn off
the Portland infielders got together and
played class A baseball But one more
error, and that hard chance was COM
mitted by the visitors during the bal
ance of the game. Their team work
was equal to that of the Seals. In
fact, they could do most anything but
hit, and this shortcoming helped lose
the battle for them.
Nick Williams was the only man on
the home lineup who could punch out
more than one hit. After making good
the first time up Nick repeated with a
two sacker against the high field fence
in the eighth. He had a good chance to
register the run. but Catcher Madden
doubled him up as he tore into third
base, after Melchoir had famed.
Sheriff Larry Dolan had the honor of
tossing the first ball., Larry used to
possess some control when he played
ball on the sand lot where the city hall
stands now, but 1t forsook him when
he heaved the horsehide at the plate.
The toss was so high that even old
DOC" could not get line on it.
Before the game the players climbed
into waiting automobiles and were
whirred around the principal streets.
Heading the procession was a brass
band. All along the line of march
thousands of people lined up along the
sidewalks and gave the boys a great
hand.
This morning the season will be
opened by the same teams on the Oak
land grounds. Willis will do the pitch
ing for the Seals and opposed to him
will be Groom. In the afternoon at
