LONDON THINKS US WISE
Morning Papers Predict Taft Will
 Make Great President.

London. Nov. 4, The London morning papers, like the evening pa- pers, testify to what they term the wisdom of the American people in choosing an eminently safe" man of tried administrative capacity for their new president, one who will continue the Rooseveltian policy
 Some surprise Is expressed at the magnitude of the victory which is held to mean the final dismissal of Mr. Bryan. The Chronicle comments upon the oonstanoy of the American electors to the republican party as an interesting phenomenon of contempo- rary politics
 Most of the papers predict that, al- though he has a hard task In follow Ing MT. Roosevelt Mir, Taft will make a great president.

Quite a crowd gathered around two young men who were sitting on the ground at the head of the green. yes- terday afternoon one was pushing a penny along with his nose and the other was sitting by, jeering him onto further effort After a short time. the penny pusher got up enough steam to reach mark that had been drawn on tho ground a few yards off. and the two went away. Many thought that it was a student hazing or that the two were ht for the gisgle- -giggle ward in tho foolah house, but one of them carefully explained that it was only an election bet and that his compan- ion had been foolish enough to put a wager that he could push penny thirty feet with his nose If Bryan was elected
 Another somewhat similar stunt is scheduled for next Sunday at noon when two young men regarded by their fellow workmen in the Smith Premier shop as bright rational, and intelligent young men. will celebrate the defeat of Bryan, which they did not expect, by pushing a peanut around the outside circumference of the green with a lead pencil sharply pointed

 Secretary of the
 Interior. J. HAYS HAMMOND, TOO Root, Wright and Wilson Will Re- main, Says Gossip, and Hitch

 General.
J. HAYS HAMMOND, TOO

Washington. Nov A. The usual cab met slates which invariably follow the election of new president are mak- ing their appearance, and political wiseacres are busy in forecastlng the names of those who will make up Pres ident-elect Tafts official family. Of course there is no authoritative ground whatever for the mention of specific names in connection with the new cabinet as Mir Taft has not given { the slightest intimation of his intention SO far as can be learned. But this ' does not stop the usual conjecture and gossip at the various rendezvous for | public men, and it is said that various Taft cabinet slates will make their ap- 1 pearance from thls time forward with more or less outward appearance of 1 probability
 In this speculative comment which i' being nduged in, the name of Sccre- tary Root Is often mentioned as likely | to continue at the head of the state de. partment. if he desires to stay It is known that Mir Taft has a high re. gard for his former cabinet associate i but whether Mir, Root would desire tc carry the burden of a cabinet position J which has already taxed hls strcngtl and health, the cabinet wIseacres arc ! not able to determine.
 It appears to be the general impress sion that Secretary Luke Wright will
 be another cabinet officer to remain
 owing to the warm personal attach ment existing between him and the president-elect opinion seems Co be | divided however. as to whether Judge | Wright would retain the present wal l portfolio, or would be given a wider range in his chosen profession. tho law. as attorney general. Tt appears to he quite generally accepted in tho speculation that Frank II.

HISGEN IS PLEASED
Thinks Republicans Less Under oil
 Domination Than Democrats.

Springfield. Mass, Nov. 4.-Thomas L. Hlsgen, Independence party candi- date for the presidency, issued the fol- lowing statement today from his home in West Springfield:
 "I was pleased to receive such large vote in my home town. Returns from the country at large are as yet so ln- complete that it Is impossible for us to know just how many votes this new party boiled. The growth of sentiment towards a new party Is necessarily slow
 "The voters believed that the repub- llcan party under the domination of Roosevelt and Taft represents less Standard oil and trust support than the democratic party under the lead ership of Bryan in view of the trust affiliations of some of his prominent supporters, and this is shown by the vote"
