HERO OF MANILA FELlClTATES
WITH ROOSEVELT OVER
GREAT CRUISE.
MADE NAVAL HISTORY
Nation Should Be Proud Of Vessels
Which Are the Best in the
World--onIcefs and Men
Are Superior.


| Washington. March 15.-"It was
notable performance, a great exploi
in naval history over which we shout,
he very happy and OF which we shout,
be exceedingly proud.
The achievement of sending Sc
successfully this splendind fleet al
ready a distance of more than hall
way around the globe is assuredly
something on which our nation shorM
congratulate itself, BY this undertake
ing. which ~has been so happily
achieved. it is demonstrated to the
world that we can have such well
trained officers, such fine seamen.
and that we have built sixteen mag
nilcent battleships.
1T is particularly pleasing thought
that the ships of this fleet should
have arrived In better condition than
when they started on the cruise
around the world. don't think you
could say anything more because the
history of the cruise Is now known
everywhere.
These are the sentiments expressed
today by Admiral Dewey upon the
great work done by Admiral Evans In
getting his ships safe and sound from
Hampton Roads to Magdalena Bay.
Admiral Gets Reminiscent.
As soon as the fleet was reported
at Magdalena Bay Admiral Dewey
visited the White House. Nothing was
made public about his visit. except
that thefu wus mutual Solicitation,

as the admiral.

record made by Rear Admiral Evans
ont him in q reminiscent mood Talk
ing about the notable achievement OF
Rear Admiral Evans fleet, the adj.
mirals mind travelled back half cen
tury to the ships that fought in the
Civil war. He referred specifically
10 the new battleship Mississippi
and said il was on the old battleship
Mississippi that stood up against the
batteries at the battle of New Or
leans fifty years ago that he got his
baptism of fire.
In discussing the fight, the admiral
made the sensational statement that |
some of the guns on the old warship |
we're fred literally by dead crew"
Explaining this statement, the all |
niral continued:

The wrestling match in Chicago
Friday night between Frank Gotch,
Americans champion and Geo. Hack
enschmidt, the Russian Lion, and
champion of the old country, resulted
in victory for the man from Iowa.
After wrestling hard for two hours
and one minute, Hackenschmidt out of
breath and his spirit utterly crushed,
the Russion Lion gave up the match,
amid the jeers of the $4,000 people
assembled The spectators rushed in
to the ring and crowded around Gotch
until the police had to interfere to
save the popular athlete.
Gotch is now the champion of the
world. Hackenschmidt showed a bet
ter development Of the muscles, but
did not have the staying qualities of
the American. He certainly showed
a large yellow streak when he quit
so unceremoniously.
Gotch was unable to get his famous
toe hold on the Lion, but just before
Hackenschmidt gave up, he grabbed
the Russian around the waist and lift
ing him bodily up in the air, threw
him down on the mat with terrific
force. Hackenschmidt then arose on
his knees and asked for mercy.
The receipts were $4,000 and the
expense of the match $4,000 Gotch
wres tied Ole Olson in Minot some
years ago. Many will remember the
famous match. The big Norwich
butcher was thrown but Gotch had
his hands pretty full when he did it..
Gotch is an Iowa farmer boy, and un-
doubtedly his training on the farm
is responsible in a large degree for
his success in the athletic field.

MR.. TAFT's ELECTION.

NJ R. TAFT has been elected President, and
i i Mr. Bryan has been defeated. Mr. Bryan
made a gallant but losing fight Probably he did
as we'll as any other Democratic candidate would
have done. He certainly did everything possible
Tor a,man personally 10 do 10 win the suffrages
OF his fellow citizens OF the United States. He
had millions of warm admirers His grip on his
party has been marvellous But the fates were
against him. The vast majority OF the people OF
the United States DO not believe that the policies
that Mr.. Bryan advocated are for the best inter
ests OF the country. They believed that Mr..
Taft would make the better President, all thinSs
considered and therefore they voted for Mr..
Taft
Mr.. Bryan has had now three opportunities to
become President OF the United States and has
failed Probably even Mr.. Bryan must be con
WINGED that the people, while they may admire
many things about him, certainly do not wish
him for President The defeated candidate,
however, can have the consolation that he did his
best He was supported ostensibly during this
campaign by many Democrats who were not
with him in the past, but even with their aid he
made no more headway than he did in his pre-
vious campaigns
Mr., Taft in every respect was a strong candi-
date The people Believe in him and they trust
HIM In addition to his striking personality. Mr..
Taft upheld the policies that under the admins
traton of President Roosevelt had become so
popular in this country He stood for the higher
life in politics. for the newer and better view He
made pledges to the people and the people be-
lieved, accepted him and gave him triumphant
election
Mr.. Taft is one OF the best equipped men who
have been called to the White House. His char
acter is exalted He has fine mind. lie has a
strong perception OF the duties and responsible
ties involved in his office and there is no reason
why he should not make a most credtable record
as President OF these United States.
On the whole the campaign was free from per
sonal bitterness and acrimony. There were some
exposures affecting men in high places. but the
candidates of the two parties were untouched.
Mr. Taft By his nature could not be bitterly
partisan if he desired That sort OF thing seems
TO be foreign to his nature His trip to the South
ern States disclosed that side OF raft's make up.
The standing and integrity and character of both
the Presidential candidates were conceded, and
now that the campaign is over there will be no
regrets on the part of the candidates for anything
that might have been done.
