ROOSEvEiTS GUESS.
His Forecast of Election Results Is
Now Made Public.

washington, Nov. 5-The president
was in very cheerful frame of mind
yesterday and told the newspaper men
that the election of Mr.. Taft wholly
carried out a prophecy made by him
IN a letter written to Senator Henry
Cabot Lodge of Massachusetts,. dated
october 2S, 1908. In this letter, the
president said:
Dear Cabot: Prophecy is very bad
until after the event. Nevertheless
must send you a line to say that I
think the situation is steadily improv-
ing IN Ohio. East of the Alleghenys
I believe we shall have a larger popu-
lar plurality than four years ago; in
other words, that Taft's plurality will
be greater than mine, and I think our
electoral vote will be larger east of the
AIleghenys than four years ago, be-
cause 1 think the chances slightly
favorable to us in Maryland. although
this represents good deal of guess
work
West of the Alleghenys / think we
shall see heavy falling off in the ma
jorities as compared with 1904, but
do not anticipate the loss of anv cleo
toral votes excepting in Missouri sond
Nevada and I ann inclined to think that
we have an even chance of carrying
Kentucky"
Over one thousand kilograms and
many letters of congratulation on the
result of the election poured into the
White House for President Roosevelt
He was busy all day reading these
messages and debating replies to them.
No callers were received. The presi-
dent said there seemed to be some
doubht throughout the country regard

the campaign by saying: We've got

a boy.

meant, by the word FRAGILE" said the

A MEXICAN CONSOLIDATION.
Offices of National and Central Roads
Combined.

New York, Nov yesterday the
executive officers of the National Rail-
road of Mexico in New York city
were consolidated with those of the
Mexican Central. Although, as far
as possible, provision has been made
in the reorganization of former Off
GERS and employees of the Mexican
Central, it is understood that a con-
siderable number will sever their con-
nection with the company before
November Is. / Apparently, the Cen
trail. as well as the new corporation,
will be directed largely by present
officials of the National.
1t is understood that c. r. Hudson,
who has been vice president of the
Central for many years. and who, be-
tween the resignation of A. A Robin
son as president and the election of
s. M. FELTON, as chief executive in
Mexico was in active charge of the
property, will remain with the re-
organized system as vice president.
1t is understood that H. Clay Pierce
will continue as chairman of the Cen
trail board. AS Mr.. FELTON, has a con-
tract for several years, it is probable
that he will remain in the Office OF
president for some time to come. In
Mexico and at important centers in
the United States the consolidation OF
offices decided upon when the merger
was under consideration is now in
progress. This will result in a ma
terlal saving in expenses Of operation

defeated, but not conquered" is the
way President Gompers of the Ameri-

election in a statement issued.
THE organized workers stood true to
the cause of justice and human free
DOM says Mr.. Gompers. This is not
the first time in the struggles of the
masses that entrenched wealth, priv
ilege and power, gained a material
even though a temporary victory. The
moral influence of the campaign is
with the cause Of the workers. The
part labor took compelled the dis
cussion to be devoted almost exclusive
ly to the labor question, labor move
ment and the principles of right, justice
and humanity upon which their philo-
sophy and demands are based. Even
though disappointed with the imme-
date result there is no loss of faith or
confidence in the justice of labor de-
mands and their successful achieve
ment. Action consistent, insistent and
persistent will achieve for the toilers
the triumph of the cause of labor and
the cause of human Justice"
