THE ELECTION RESULT.
Baltimore Manufacturers Record:

Baltimore Manufacturers Record:
Thirteen years ago, according to
story as told few days ago to the
writer by one of the participants, there
were gathered one evening in winter
resort hotel on the Gulf of Mexico
number of prominent public and busi-
ness men, including Senator Vest,
Jerome Hill, leading cotton factor
of Memphis, Judge of the Supreme
Court of Ohio and several others. Each
man in the party was asked to give his
impression of the greatest man he had
ever known personally. One after an
other told the story Of his estimate OF
the greatest man hat he had met, un-
til finally all had spoken except the
Judge When his turn came he said:
what you have all said about great
men of your acquaintance. I think ]
know a greater man than any you
have mentioned. The man I have in
view is the wisest and fairest counsel
lor who has ever practiced in my
court. He is the safest friend as
advisor have ever known. He is the
best son and the best husband of my
acquaintance and the purest- minded
man I have ever known"
"Who Is this remark able mani" said
one Of the party. "He ISL said the
Judge, civilian 81. Taft. of Ohio, and
some day. it his life is epared, he will
be the President of the United States"
This conversation took place, as
stated by Mr.. Jerome Hill, one of the
participants. to the Manufacturers Re-
cord few days ago, at Bay ST. Louis
just l3 years ago. The prediction has
been fulfilled, and William H. Taft has
been elected President Of the United
States. The consensus of the opinion
Of the people Of this country is that he
measures up to that remarkable eulogy
of the Ohio Judge in whose court Mr..
TAFT had long practiced, and whose
friendship the Judge had long enjoyed.
The Manufacturers Record believes
that the people of this country, North,
South, East and West alike, are to be
congratulated that SO safe and sane q
counsellor, so true friend, so high a
type of citizen in private life is to be the
President iof this great nation.
Throughout ihes business circles of the
country there will be- felt the thrill OF
rem ewed life, for activity in business
means prosperity for the people. We
believe that the United States has now
entered upon a new period of broader
commercial progress, of greater indus
trial activity, of greater railroad ex-
pansion, than it has ever known in the
past. While kilograms of congratula-
tions are pouring in upon Judge Taft
the Manufacturers 'sRecord would ex-
tend its congratulations to the country
It believes that his election means q
safe and sound administration, in
which laws will be enforced with vigor
but with judicial spirit, and that under
this condition the capitalists and the
business men of the land will feel safe
in putting their money to work, and
when money works the laborer works.

The Testimony of These Three Housewives Demonstrates Beyond All Cav

Constipation, Torpid Liver.

Constipation, Torpid Liver.
Mrs. Anthony Rauch, 306 N. Walnut
street, Bucyrus, O., writes:
ssI was suffering from obstinate con-
stipation ana torpid liver, when I took
your advice and purchased six bottles of
Peruna and Manalin. When had taken
only one bottle I felt much better, and
since I have taken two more bottles /
feel entirely well, but [ will continue
taking the medicine for short time to
make sure of my cure.

remedies for constipation that I ever
tried. I will never be without it. II

and have no bitter taste in my mouth
I am very thankful for Peruna."

Special to the ARGUS.


Lincoln, Neb., Nov. Civilian J.
Bryan yesterday gave out the follow
ing statement:
1.-THE election has gone against US by
q decisive majority. The returns are
not all in and it is impossible at tue
present time to analysize them or to
say what causes contributed most to
the Republican victory.
1--WE made our fight upon a platform
which embodied what We believed to
be good for the American people. but
il is the right of the people themselves
to say what laws they desire and
methods of government they prefer.
I have faith that the publicity which
we asked for will yet commend itself
to the American people; that the cleo
tion of senators by the people will be
secured; that the iniquities of the trusts
will arouse an opposition that will re-
suit in the elimination OF the principle
Of private monopoly. I am confident
the people will see the necessity for the
labor legislation and the tariff reduce
fion~ which our platform demands.
am confident, too, that the educational
work in this campaign will result In
securing greater protection to bank
deposits.
reforms for which we labored and be-
Iieye these reforms will yet come, to-
gether with more effective regulation

our national committee. 1 am entirely
salts fed with Mr.. Mack as the chair
man and with the members of the com
nittees. do not see how they could
have done more tran they did, and as
for myself, put forth every effort In
my power 10 secure victory for our
cause. The nomination came from the
hands of the voters. / have obeyed
their command and have lead as best
could. Words will not express my
gratitude for the Willingness of the
Democrats during the past ~ years.
Neither am I able to adequately ex-
press my appreciation for the kind
words which have been spoken since
the election.
"If could regard the defeat as pure
1y a pers onal one 1 would consider it
Blessing rather than a misfortune, fo1
7 am relieved of the burdens and re-
sponsi bilities of an Office that is at

AN opportun 'ty to render a larger pub

lie one. Gcd does not require great
s4h ngs OF US. He only requires that
zve improve the opportunities that are
presented and 1 shall be glad to i'm
prove the opportunity tor service pre-
sented by private life.
sin this hour OF national defeat /
find some consolation in the cordia
support given by my neighbOrs, by
the citizens of Lincoln and by the pee,
pie of the State of Nebraska. With Il
Democratic governor and Democratic

lly valuable testimony which any household remedy

worse than useless to discuss Peruna from a theo-

Tangier, August 23.-The defeat
of the Sultan, ABd-El-Aziz, by the
forces Of his brother, Mulai Hafid,
has been confirmed. The Sultan was
surprised on the nigh of August 10,
and most of his troops deserted to
the side of the usurping ruler after
the firing of a few shots. Reports
indicate that the defeat of Abd-El-
AziZ was due largely to the betrayal
of his own tribesmen. Mulai Hafid
has been proclaimed Sultan of Mo-
rocco at Tangier, and announcement
of the proclamation has teen tele-
graphed to all parts of the country.
All the officials who previously have
been under the rule of Abd-El-AZiz
in this city declare that they have
accepted Mulai Haf1d as their leader,
thereby making him supreme in all
the large cities of Morocco.

round world fleet will not, be per-
mitted to break the hearts of the
Japanese geisha girls if the Young
Mems Christian Association of Japan,
the native Christian churches and
the missionaries are able to prevent
it. Information from Toxic was re-
ceived at the headquarters of the
Y. NJ c. A. in this city that the
Christian religious organizations of
Japan are circulating petitions
among the citizens of Japanese cities
which the men of the American fleet
will visit, protesting against the old
style of Japanese hospitality which
is expected to include an abundance
of stimulants and introduction to the
geisha girls. The object of the move
ment is to bring the celebration more
in keeping with American ideas. 1t is
said to be desired that a precedent
be established of eliminating geisha
girls from public entertainments in
Japan.
