BLA|MS DEFEAT
ON ROOSEVELT
Hilles Says Republicans Would
Have Won but for His De-
serting Party.

New York. Nov. 5.-Responsibiity for
The defeat of President Taft rests
squarely and solely upon MIR. Roosevelt"
said Charles ID. Hilles, chairman Of the
republican national committee, in a state
ment issued after midnight. But for Mr..
Roosevelt's action in DESERVING the Re-
publican party" he said, Mr.. Taft would
unquestonably have been elected" The
statement follows:
For the third time in 52 years the ad-
minstration of the government has been
transferred from the Republican to the
Democratic party. In each previous In
stance the Republican party has been soon
again recalled to power, for its policy, Its
history and Its administration has been
found the sanest and safest and the most
conducive to the well-being and pros
perity of the people and the permanency
Of It's institutions. So 1t will be in 1916
president Taft has served one term
and has acquitted himself with credit
to his country. His exceptional prepara-
ton for the task was universally COM
mended. His administration was I'M
uualifiedly endorsed by his party which
again chose him for its candidate for
a further term The record of achieve
ment during his administration was I'M
paralleled. He has stood as a bulwark
in support Of the constitution and Of
representative government which Is the
very life of the nation.
''The government has been admins
tered with fidelity and economy in every
branch. The well-being Of the American
wage-earner IL exampled. More men are
employed to-day than ever before and
prosperity abounds. All the conditions
of triumphant victory exist.
THE detection from the Republican
party accounts for to-day's results. The
responsibility for this must rest squarely
and solely upon Mr.. Roosevelt. But for
Mr.. Roosevslts action in deserving the
Republican party Mr.. Taft would unques-
tionably have bean elected. We would
not now be face to face with the newt
able transition Of a rational protective
policy to the experiment Of a tariff fol-
revenue only.
Tho Republican party will pursue ant
sustain its policies with undiminished
confidence It will return to supremac,
IN 1916 with its policies fully INDICATED
policies Of reasonable protection to Amer
lean industries and the independence O.
the judiciary.
"Out OF all the conflict Of this ex
tTaordinary campaign there can be drawn
supreme consolation in which every citi
zen Of the union must share that through
the incorporating and unflinchinI
warfare Of President Taft and the Re
pobncan party the third term attack UP
On our institutions has been defeate'
and the stamp Of condemnation places
upon 10 BY a largo majority Of the cit
Eenship Of the country; and also tina
through his determined and vigorous ex
posture Of the dangerous policy OF tn
third term party he has repelled tn
assault upon the constitution OF on
fathers and upon the sound and basil
element Of Q national life"

HoUDIN1 DEFIEs SAILORS.

Broomstick.

Last night six Of the huskiest seamen
gunners of the navy yard came to the
Gayety Theater and bound Houdini to q
broomstick, tied his hands to each side
of his legs on the stick. then lashed his
body TO a plank with all kinds Of sailor
knots. 1t took them fifteen minutes to
do their work, but Houdinl released him
self in the presence Of the huge audience
in twenty-seven minutes and fifteen sec
onds.
Two of the most difficult feats to per-
form by Houdini are the challenges Of
fered and accepted by him for to-day.
At the matinee at $50 o'clock Houdini
will take on the sailmakers' challenge.
The members of a sailnsaling firm In r

will reverse them upon HoudiRL But
first they will tie his hands and feet with
ropes soaked in rosln and tar. One bag

PRINTERS OATH.
0. K.'D BY CHURCH
So Frank Morrison Testifes in
Labor Leaders Contempt
Proceeding.

Reading into the record yesterday aft
ernoon an editorial which appeared IN
the American Federationist, arraigning
Justice Wright in scathing terms and
describing his appearance on the bench
and the manner in which he sentenced
Samuel Gompers, John Mitchell, and
Frank Morrison to terms OF fmprison-
ment, Attorney Davenport, Of the COM
mittee OF prosecutors, asked Frank Nor
rIson whether he had helped TO dissemi-
nate the magazine containing this edi-
torial. and whether he had known OF the
editorial. Mr.. Morrison replied that he
had known Of the editorial. and that the
magazine containing II had been dis
tributed in the regular manner.
Mr.. Morrison denied in definite Ian
guage that the oath OF allegiance TO or
ganized lagor overrides a persons duty
to church, country, or any other body.
Efforts have been made on the part OF
the committee of prosecutors in the con-
tempt proceedings growing out of the
Buck Stove and Range Company injunc-
tion case to show that the three re-
spondents were bound by oath to regard
the demands of organized labor as above
those OF citizenship
Witness said that although a Catholic
divine in Nebraska held the printers
an archbishop had held that the oath
did not violate any requirements of the
church. Mr.. Morrison maintained that
this part Of the oath did not conflict
with his duty to state or church: My
fidelity to this union and my duty to the
members thereof shall in no sense be
interfered with by any allegiance that
may now or hereafter owe to any other
organization. society, political or re-
ligious, secret or otherwise"
Secretary Morrison contended he had
faithfully obeyed the courts order since
the injunction in the Buck case became
effective in 1907, excepting where the
Court Of Appeals held that certain por-
tions violated the constitutional rights OF
the respondents. Witness said he had
taken no steps to inform the Z7.0OO unions
that the boycott had been abandoned ex-
cept to print the fact in the Federation
list that the Injunction had been issued.
When asked by Attorney Davenport
whether witness had not urged President
GomperS not to prosecute the boycott
further after the order Of the court be-
came effective, and II he did not ask
other persons to go to the labor leader
and make the same request, witness
said he recalled advising Mr.. Gompers
TO discontinue the boycott. but could not
recall that he had tried any outside In
uuence.
