SPECIAL
Session of Congress For
Tariff Revision to
be Called
SOON AFTER MARCH a

Cincinnati, Nov. 8. - Immediately
after Judge william H. Taft is In
augurated as president on March
next he will issue a call for special
session of congress for the purpose
of revising the tariff schedules.
This declaration was made by Judge
Taft in the Taft residence on Pike
street yesterday afternoon. He did
not discuss the prospects of tariff re-
vision, but declared emphatically that
a special session would be called to
carry out the pledges made in the
Republican national platform and on
the stuIap by Republican speakers
during the campaign just closed.
"One of my first official acts as
president will be the calling of spe-
cial session to revise the tariff laws
said Judge Taft when asked for a
statement. Il have made this state
ment before and l will carry out all
pledges made just as soon as l am
able to do so. 1t will be impossible
for the coming session of congress
to start a consideration of tariff re-
vision, and l do not think that ii
will do So"
The next session of congress will
convene early in December and it will
remain in session until March 4. Un-
der ordinary circumstances the regu-
lar session to follow would not begin
It's work until December of next year.
Many people believe that the wait for
the regular session to take up the
work would be too long, and PresI-
dent-elect Taft evidently agrees with
them. Counting out the holiday re-
cess the coming session will have
only about two months in which to
work and few matters of importance
will likely be considered.
The evident understanding between
President Roosevelt and President
elect Taft to postpone action on the
tariff revision until after the inaug-
uration of Judge Taft is considered a
shrewd move upon their part. Both
Roosevelt and Taft are supposed to
earnestly desire tariff revision, and
they are aware that the coming ses-
SIGN of congress, under the leader
snip of Speaker Joseph Cannon, may
not be as friendly to any PROPOSE
tion to revise the schedules as will be
the congress that was elected Tues
day. Speaker Cannon has already
given evidence of his feeling regard
ing the tariff.
The announcement of Judge Taf,
that he will call special session
may be taken as an admission that
the present administration fears that
the Speaker would again attempt to
block tariff legislation at the coming
session. 1t may also be taken as an
indication that Uncle joe Cannon
may not again be chosen Speaker of
the congress elected Tuesday.

A HOT ONE
viii. Be the Speakership Fight in the
New Legislsture-Three Al
ready in the race.

Columbus, O., Nov. Cone of the
most interesting Ohio political con-
tests of the immediate future will be
to determine who shall be speaker
of the incoming house of representa-
tives.
On account of the senatorial con-
test to follow the organization of the
house, the senatorial candidates will
likely take hand in the organiza-
tion fight, indirectly at least, in order
to have friend occupy this tactical
position of advantage.
Freeman T. Eagleson, the former
speaker, is not q member of the in
coming assembly. Granville w.
Mooney, of Ashtabula county, s. d.
Shankland, of Lake county, and Judge
Noah J. Dever, of Scioto county, have
thus far announced themselves as can
didates for his place. There will be
several others before the assembly
meets.
John p. Maynard, stationery clerk
under Secretary of State Thompson;
Frank W. Cook, field worker for the
Republican state organization, and Ira
Morrison, are mentioned for the posi-
ton of clerk of the house. E. w.
Doty's name is hardly heard.
Malcolm Jennings is the only can
didate for clerk of the senate, who
at this time seems to have any pros
pect of landing the place.
Senator Patterson will probably be
made president pro tenn Of the SEN
ate in return for the good work he
did as the lone member of the DEM
ocratic committee which investigated
state offices last spring.

WANT ELECTION DAY
TO BE LEGAL HOLIDAY

Columbus, Nov. 5.-Business men
and many others of Columbus are de-
cidedly in favor OF making a legal
holiday in Ohio of national election
day, and it is probable that at the
forthcoming general assembly a bill
which has this in view will be intro
duced.
Practically all the Eastern states,
including Pennsylvania, Kentucky,
Indiana and others contiguous to Ohio
observe tie day as a legal holiday,
and as a result no business is forth.
coming for Ohio business men.
Columbus business men say that
Tuesday might as well have been q
holiday with them, for very little
business of any kind was transacted
Banks were also closed.
By the time another presidential
election day comes along, there is
practically no doubt that it will be a
legal holiday in Ohio.

CREANE:R
Defeats Green fer State Treasurer by
Cuyahoga County Vote-Victory
for Clean Government.

Columbus, Nov. 6.-David s. Cream
er, Democratic candidate for state
treasurer, has been elected through his
plurality in Cuyahoga county, accord
ing to w. L. Finley, state Democratic
chairman.
On Friday Finley declared that the
5000 plurality of Creamer in Cuyahoga
county had elected him by 1000 votes
This was based upon complete unof-
fetal returns from all counties of the
state.
If Finley's statement holds good
when the official count is made, one
of the greatest victories for clean
government ever registered in the
state will have been made sure.

SCHOOL
improvements Will be
Planned at Once
TO SELL BONDS FIRST

Having been authorized by the citi-
sens of Canton to issue bonds in the
sum of 100000 for the purpose of max
ing the much needed improvements to
the schools, the Board of Education
will take action at the next meeting,
next Monday night, to provide addi-
tion fire protection at the various
buildings. While the work may be
delayed somewhat by the sale of
bonds, which must be done before the
money is available, the board will be
at liberty to advertise for bids, and
to have plans and specifications pre-
pared for the construction of the fire
escapes.
In the matter of the construction of
the proposed additions to the Dueber,
Liberty and East Eighth buildings,
nothing will probably be done for
Eome time. 1t is proposed by the
board of education to make all prepa-
Tations for the work, and then COM
mence the building as soon as the
schools close for the summer vaca-
ton.
The members of the board were
greatly relieved over gaining the con-
sent of the people at the election, for
the issuance of bonds. They were
facing a perplexing situation, and had
the measure failed, it would have been
impossible to allow the schools to re-
main open. AS it is, although it will
be some time before the money will
be available they will be able not only
to comply with the orders of the fire
inspectors, but they will be able to in
crease the capacity of the various
buildings that they will be able to meet
the demands of a growing city for the
next few years.
The additions to the present fire
protection systems involve an estimat.
ed expenditure of $22,5 The size of
the amount is due to the fact that
nearly every building in the city will
be provided with additional protection
and new fire equipment. At the build
ings which are to be remodeled, the
additions are to be so constructed that
the new fire escapes will provide
eSIGSb lIOLl uOlH pdl 10 VI IuS pulluihS
The cost of the three new additions
will be approximately $4,000. The
board has exercised extreme economy
in preparing these estimates, and at
the same time the additions will be
constructed on very substantial plans.
Although the demand for these new
structures is very pressing at present
It will be impossible to accomplish
anything before the spring. Every ef-
fort will be made to complete the ad-
ditions during the summer, or at least
to put the buildings into such condi-
ton that they can be used until the
new structures are completed.
1t is also planned by the board to
establish new heating systems in the
Dueber avenue, the Liberty street,
and the East Eighth street buildings.
In all these buildings the warmth is
furnished by the old time hot air fur
naces, and in each case the furnaces
are in a dilapidated condition. 1t is
the intention to install new steam
heating apparatus in these buildings
This will require an increased expendi.
ture, but the boards portion of the
next tax assessment will be able to
meet this expense.

Baltimore, Nov 6.-Oficial canvass

The last scoring was enacted in the
seventh. Boles doubled against the left
field fence, and the ball would have
gone over but for a wind which inter-
fered. Arnold sacrificed him to third
but Stofer, covering first allowed
Andrews's throw to get away from him
and both men were safe. Wooley sac
rificed Boles across the plate and Ar
mold scored on Davis double.
But once did the visitors get a man
to second and this only for fraction
of a second. Jay kids pulled off seven
hits but they were scattered and were
few and far between.
The locals played their second con-
secutive game without an error. Kahl
had a busy day at second and Davis dis
tinguished himself with a couple Of fine
catchers in right. Wooley pulled off the
stellar stunt for the locals when he

the visitors Persch was guilty of grand
larceny when he pulled off a long run
