Taft, on his way back TO Washing
ton. reached Pitsburg, cheered by
many kilograms OF congratulation on
the manner in which he conducted
his brief campaign in Ohio, Indiana
and Illinois for reciprocity with Can

timistic than ever over the prospect
for passage of reciprocity legislation
at this session OF congress. At the
same time the president does not in

accepted time TO put the agreement
through.

OF Agriculture Wilson is to advocate
It at dinner In Buffalo on Wash

practical certainty that three sena.
tors and seven representatives, Re-
publicans, sitting from Hamilton
county. will lose their seats TO as
many Democratic contestants, who
lost on the face Of the returns, by
adverse pluralities ranging from | 500

the foreunner of the most sweeping
Investigation ever made into Hamil-

done by a special legislative commit

thority.
To protect this committee the leg.
islature will adjourn, when its work
is done, TO day fixed. Every effort
will be made to avoid the teehnicali-
ties On which the state supreme
court stopped legislative committees
when they were beginning to search

TAFT SOUNDS KEYNOTE
Presidents Temperance Letter Read
In 5000 Sunday Schools.


Columbus. o., Feb. 13.-In a letter
dated Dec. 20. 1910, which was read
in 5000 Sunday schools in all parts
of the United States, President Taft
sounded the keynote of a great tenn
perance movement which. its found
ers hope, will lead to the founding In
the United States of generation OF
total abstainers.
"The excessive use OF Intoxicating
liquor is the cause OF great deal OF
the poverty, degradation and crime
of the world, and one who abstains
from the use of such liquor avoids
dangerous temptation" says the
presidents letter. Abraham Lin
coin showed that he believed this in
writing out for his boy friends the
pledge OF total abstinence so often
quoted Each person must deter
mine for himself the course he will
take in reference TO his tastes and
appetltes; but those who exercise
self-restraint to avoid altogether the
temptation Of alcoholic liquor are on
the safe and wiser side"

Vile, o.. founder of the Anti.Saloon
league, also is founder OF the Lincoln
Legion, which instigated the ser
vices. The movement will be direct

The burning question to you is.

A good and thorough digestion has

Feat, Democrats Gain 20 TO 22 For
Republicans.
Washington, Feb. 13.-That the
house reapportionment bill may give
the Republicans at least 20 addition
al votes in the electoral college, and
hence great advantage in the 1872
campaign. is the conclusion reached
by some of the leaders on the Dem
ocratic side Of the senate who have
been studying the subject. 1t was
learned that the question was brought
before the caucus of senate Demo
Gratis last week and that It is to be
considered at the meeting tomorrow
when Canadian reciprocity and other
measures al W bt ldhtH w lti pa

Each new member OF the house
means another elector from the state
which gets the new member. There
fore the party which is likely to car.
ry ne state I'm question wins a point
in determining the politics of the
next administration. No states lose
under the house reapportionment.
Forty.two additional members are
scattered among 20 states These a.
electoral votes, allowing the maxi

redistrbuted as follows:

This figures a net gain of 20 to the
Republicans. However, If the Demo

where they triumphed in the state
and congressional elections last fall.
they would profit by the added elec.
toral votes in New York and West
Virginia, a total OF nine. giving them
in the entire table 20 against 90 for

now in effect there are 4S3 votes in
the electoral college. one for each OF
the 39l representatives and one for
each of the 80 senators. A majority
Of 1873 is 242.
Under the house bill there will be
