Cambridge City, Ind, Nov. s.
Boden & Son have made fine progress
in moving the Meredith monument
from Oakland farm to Riverside GENE

of work. Good fortune has been with
the contractors thus far. They have
the entire monument down, transport

New York, Nov. 5.-Standing out

Taft as President, Tuesday, are:
/. Mr. Tafts iudicious tempera
ment and sense of fairness appealed
to the conservative sentiment of the
country, business as well as labor
while the Presidents earnest support
of him held in line any radical ele-
ment which might have gone over to
Mr.. Bryan on the theory that the Re
publican candidate would prove delin,

policies. Mr.. Bryan was too radical
for the conservative interests, and not
radical enough for many voters who
supported him in 1896 and again in
1900.

Question of Liquor and Not
Labor Says James E. Watson

1T was not a question of labor but
a question of liquor that defeated me- y
declared JAS E. Watson, the defeated
republican candidate for governor at
his home at Rushville. Mr.. Watson
has accepted his defeat philosophi-
calIy. 1t is not a new experience to
him and for this reason he knew bet
ter how to bear it. Good cheer and
happines reigned at the Watson home,
although the news of the night before
had been depressing.
Mr. Watson made more speeches
than any candidate who ever ran for
the Office of governor in Indiana, and
is satisfied with his campaign. His
defeat he attributes it to the county
local option question. The vanquish-
ed candidate said:
The liquor republicans were more
In favor of liquor than they were IN

prohibitionists care nothing about
temperance, their only object being to
defeat the republican party, and they
voted their ticket. Some temperance
democrats voted for rne, and those pro-

way. The majority of the people. how

TARIFF WILL Be
REVISED. WHEN
TAFT TAKES OFFICE
Special Session of Congress
Will Be Called After He
Takes Oath of Office to
Carry Out Work.
WILL CANNON OPPOSE
THE NEW PRESIDENT?
Speculation Is Rife as to
Whether or Not Speaker
Will Fight Tariff Plans
Taft Leaves Cincinnati.

Cincinnati, O., Nov 5.-Immediately
after Judge William Fl. Taft is inau-
gurated as president on March next
he will issue a call for a special ses-
sion of congress for the purpose of re-
vising the tariff schedules.
This declaration was made by Judge
Taft in the Taft residence on Pike
street. He did not discuss the pros
poets of tariff revision, but declared
emphatically that a special session
would be called to carry out the
pledges made in the republican ma
tional platform and on the stump by
republican speakers during the CAM
paign just closed.
'One of my first official acts as presi-
dent will be the calling of a special
session to revise the tariff laws" said
Judge Taft when asked for a state
ment. II have made this statement
before and / will carry out all pledges
made just as soon as I am able to do
so. 1t will be impossible for the COM
ing session of congress to start a con.
sideration of tariff revision. and l do
not think that it will do so.''
The next session of congress will
convene early in December, and it will
remain in session until March 4. Under
ordinary circumstances the regular
session to follow would not begin its
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 recess
the coming session will have only
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 inaugur
alton 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-
sion of congress, under the leadership
of Speaker Joseph Cannon, may moi
be as friendly to any proposition to re.
wise the schedules as will be the con
gress that was elected Tuesday. Speak
er Cannon has already given evidenct
of his feeling regarding the tariff.
Fear of Speaker Cannon.
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 blocl
tariff legislation at the coming ses
sion 1t may also be taken as an indi
cation that Uncle Joe" Cannon ma,
not again be chosen speaker of the
congress elected Tuesday.
Judge Taft has not considered cab
met construction and will not hole
any political conferences until aftel
he has rested for several weeks. To
day he and Mrs. Taft will leave fol
Hot Springs, Va. and they will sta.
there for some time. according II

AS was predicted yesterday by the

Watson received less than 500 major

that Watson would not carry this
county by 500 majority. On the other
hand District Chairman Haas and
County Chairman Bowman predicted
that Wayne county would go for Wat

distinct victory for the so called

More MARRIAGE In Enaland.

Many interesting details as to the

land and Wales during 1906 are given

port for that year. There were more
OF them than in the previous year. but
the Increase was not conspicuous in
the case Of widowers, while there was
no Increase at all in that Of widows.
AS already recorded, the birth rate
was abnormally low, while the death
rate was higher for the year. The
marriage rate shows an increase OF
O.S over 1905, but was OF below the
average for the ten years 1s9s-19O5.
The birth rate was the lowest ever re.
