WASHINGTON. -. c., Nov. 9.--The cleo
ton and its lessons and the pressing for
ward OF the administration legislative
program so as to get it out of the way be-
fore the accession OF democratic control in
congress next year was discussed at a
cabinet meeting today.
Featuring the administrative measures
will be the plan for meeting second class
mail abuses by requiring magazines-not
newspapers-to pay Increased postage on
Advertising pages sufficient to eliminate
postal deficits and warrant one-cent post
age on first class mail soon The plan will
be urged on congress at the coming short
session and several magazine publishers
already have expressed disposition to CO.
Operate.
Individual views Expressed.
The discussion OF the election results
brought out individual views Of the presi-
dent and some OF his official family
n was pointed out that in the east the
most real harm TO the republican party
was accomplished, much Of the outcome in
the west having been discounted In the
primaries. Some comfort was found in the
relative smalness OF the democratic plural
tiles. as compared with the past when
democratic primacy was attained New
York with apparently less than 10000
plurality being cited.
The expressed view was that the defeat
OF the party might In reality work for
good.
President Taft realizes the necessity for
getting through an needed administration
legislation In the three months session be-
shining next month.
