Ohio Republicans
For Roosevelt.

Toledo. Ohio, Dec. 3.-The prediction
that the Republicans of Ohio will de-
clare against Taft and for Roosevelt
in 1912, is made by Walter f. Brown,
chairman of the Ohio Republican
state central committee, in replying
to the letter by John u. Fackler in
charge of Progressive Republican
headquarters in Columbus.
Mr.. Fackler requested that the state
committee afford the Republicans an
opportunity to express their Presden-
tial preference between President Taft
and Senator LaFollette.
Chairman Brown takes the position
that the Republicans should be given
an opportunity to include other lead
ers and adds:
Unless ! wholly mistake the senti-
ment of our fellow Republicans il
given a chance, they will with no UNI
certain voice again declare their pref
crenee for their standard bearer ol
1904, who, though in no sense a candi-
date now, is too loyal a Republican
and too good a citizen TO deny the
clearly expressed demand of his party
and his country

GEO. F. F. WILDE.
/ he Retired Rear Admiral
Passed Away Sunday.
Had Honorable Record Of 90
Years in Our Navy.
Took Active Part In Many Events Of
Worldwide Fame.

North Easton, Mass, Dec. 3.-Death
came suddenly at his home here, to-
day, to Rear Admiral George Francis
Faxon Wilde, L. S. N, retired, whose
record of 40 years service in the navy
contains many notable achievements

had been troubled with heart disease,
for several years, bu, the shock which
caused the end. today, came without
warning to his physician or members
of his household. He was in his 9th
year.
Rear Admiral Wilde had read with
interest. recently, the progress of the
revolution in China, he having landed
a body of United States marines-thc
first marines ever landed in China
during the Boxer uprising. Then Capt.
Wilde headed this body into Pekin.
where they maintained guard over
the American legation for five or six
months. Capt. Wilde also participated
in numerous movements of the allied
forces during the uprising.
His graduation from the United

FINANCIAL.
Coming ofDecembeTWOrks
Transformation in Market.
Effect Is Pause in Activity and
Recession in Prices.
Gold Shipments and Money Settle.
menis Responsible for Change.

New York, De- 5.-The coming of
December worked q transformation in
th, money markaf last week, and di-
rected close attention to the political
phases of the financial outlook. The
effect was n fto6st IN stock market
activity and a recession in prices.
So many extraordinary demands
upon the money market have been
met during lae sear without ruttling
- ease, thai Tie signs of diminishing
supplies were rather neglected until
d rise in rates gave warning. With
the opening of list week and the per
sistence Of the depicting factors there
came some displacement of credits
ana shifting of loans, which led to
higher bids.
The expectation of gold and the
December money settlements were
held responsible for the change.
The assembling of Congress, next
week. for the long session, brought in
to closer consideration a factor which
| is expected 10 prove a disturbing ele-
lmcnt for some time. The possible
consequences of the proposed revision
/ of the tariff or Of other legislation az
fcctiug the business interests of the
country were regarded of sufficient
importance To cause restriction Of
demands.
The incessant demand of the trust
committee. fed from committee iuves-
lgations from both houses OF Con-
srcss and the coming report of the
railroad securities commission help
ed to keep political problems to the
fore. The week brought further evil
|dence Of better business conditions.
Reports of railway earnings in Oc-
tober showed no uniform tendency for
in several cases railroads traversing
the same general sections of the coun-
TRY exhibited results which were at
variance with each other. There were,
however, a number of striking gains
in some cases effected by reduction Of
expense.
Business on the Stock Exchange
showed a substantial expansion, last
month. as compared with the previous
month, both in stocks and in bonds
The par value Of bond sales in No
vember rose to above SSS,000000
which was exceeded in that month
only four times previously. The eX-
tent of the months rise in prices OF
stocks in itself suggested a pause sucl
as occurred, last week.

ERECTION Of NEW PLANT.
Motor Car Company to Operate in
Alexandria,

Another enterprise is soon to be add
ed to those alreapy in Alexandria.
The foundation is now being prepared
for an automobile factory at the north
west corner of Pendleton and Henry
streets. The B. F. Board Motor Car
Company will operate the plant,
which will manufacture heavy freight
motor trucks, similar to those already
in use in lhis city. The building will
be one hundred feet long and fifty feet
wide.
The above will be read with pleasure
by the entire community, and especially
by the business people who are working
early and late iu movements looking to
the increase Of Alexandria's plants.
A few days ago the report of the
census Office showed that this city was
forging ahead in manufactures, and
the Gazette at the time reiterated what
it had often said concerning the oppor.
tunities offered in Alexandria.
People from other places who are
looking for eligible sites upon which
to build plants are having their at
tention directed to this city by the
Chamber of Commerce and other in
terested in the citv's welfare, and their
efforts are not in vain is evidenced by
the fact that letters are being received
daily from parties in other cities who
are considering the erection of manu-
factrrinp plants.
AS was stated at the time, there is
nothing wanting in Alexandria which
may be deemed essential by the bust
ness world. No city can offer better
water and transportation facilities than
Alexandria, while the fact that the
city adioius the capital OF the nation
should not be forgotten.

EAST HOURS OF CONGRESS.

Ina succession OF dramatic events,
the democratic House OF Representa-
tives yesterday met defeat in its SUI
preme effort to pass the wool and free
| list bills over the presidents vetoes.
and virtually fixed upon adjournment
OF Congress early next week. The
House on Monday will agree to the
cotton tariff revision bill as mended
in the Senate, but will not hold Con-
gress in session to await the certain
veto of that measure. The Senate
cleared away all Of its business. and
ADJOURNMENT is assured in the view OF
leaders OF both parties 10 both houses,
by next Wednesday at the latest.
The democratic House majority, With
a great demonstration OF enthusiasm J,
marshaled its ranks for the great battle
to override the president, and went down
with flying colors. The party leaders
failed to muster enough insurgent re-
publican support to pass the tarif1
legislation over the presidents head.
Lart night the democratic members
OF the ways and means com mittee de-
ternined to end the long session. Mon
day the House will pass the cotton bill
as amen;ied in the Senate containing
the iron and steel, chemical and cotton
machinery schedule, and the provisions
for reciprocal bituminous coal across
the Canadian border, and will send II
to the president Tuesday.
Congress will adjourn on Wednes-
day at the latest. was the declaration
of Majority Leader Underwood, after
the ways and means committee con-
ference.
In his message vetoing the farmers
free-list bill, which was sent to the
House Yesterday, President TAFT, after
an extended review of the measure, de-
clares that the same reasons which
impelIed me to decline to sign the WOOL
bill control me in this case. +" The
president summarizes Ills objections to
the bill in those terms.
Despite an earnest effort by Senator
Penrose, Vice President Sherman, and
Minority Leader Mann, to adjourn
Congress tonight, the democratic ma
jority of the House declined to leave
Washington until tie cotton bill, with
its multiplicity OF amendments, was
placed before the president.

Towards the close OF yesterday the

stiff aud cooling northwest wind which
at times gained considerable force.
The mercury, which had been forging
into the niueties began to fall, and 10
short time pleasant condition shad
taken the pllce of the heat wave
which had fingered so long. A rain
cloud had in the meantime been
waited into Maryland. After dark
lightning could be seen flashing some
distance southeast OF this city, and
there is reason to believe a heavy
cloud was ernptying itself in that
direction. The mercury was down
to 6S degrees at an early tour this
morning.
