CHAIRMAN DECLARES IN
HIS STATEMENT.

NEW YORK. Nov. chairman
Charles ID, H!lles, OF the Republican
national committee, late tonight Is
sued the following statement:
For the third time in sixty-two
years, the administration of the gov
eminent has been transferred from
the Republican 10 the Democratic
party In each previous instance, the
Republican party has been soon again
called to power, for it's policies. It's
history and Its administration have
been found the sanest and safest and
the most conducive to the well betnG
and prosperity of it's people and the
permancy OF its institutions. So II
Will be in 1915.
President Taft has served one
term and has acquitted himself with
credit TO his country. His exceptiu.ai
preparation for the task was uni.
yersaIly conceded by his party. which
again chose him as its candidate for
a further term. The record OF his
achievements during his adrninistra-
ton was unparalleled. He has stova-
as a bulwark in support of the con-
stttution and of representative gov
eminent as the very life Of the nation,
The government has been administer
ed with fidelity and economy in every
branch.
The well being Of the American
wage-earner Is unexampled More
men are employed today than at any
time In the history of the country.
wages are higher than ever before,
and prosperity abounds. All the con-
Jitions of triumphant victory existed.
The detection of the Republican
party accounts for today's result. Ths
responsibility for this must rest
squarely and soidly upon Mr.. Roose-
welt. But for Mr.. Roosevelt's action
in deserving the Republican party, Mr..
Tar would unquestIonably have been
reelected. We would not now be face
TO face with the Inevitable transition
ot national protective policy, to the
experiment pf a tariff for revenue
only.
The Republican party Will pursue.
and maintain its policies with undi-
Unfinished confidence. II Will return
! to supremacy III 1915 with It's policies
t fully stndscated policies Of reason-
| able protection to AMERICAN indus
tries and the Independence of the
| judiciary
/ out of ali the conflicts OF this en-
| traordinary campaign there can be
| drawn supreme consolation, in which
/ every citizen OF the Union may share:
That through the uncompromising ana
| undinching warfare OF President Taft
and the Republican party at a third
term attack upon our institution has
been defeates. and tho stamp OF con-
/ demnation placed upon il bv a vast
majority of the citizenship OF the
country; and also that through hts
determined and vigorous exposure of
the dangerous policies OF the third
term party he has repealed the AS
saul,s upon the constitution of our
fathers. and upon the sound and
basic elements Of national life"

The result in the State Of New
York demonstrates one thing~-that
the Roosevelt movement was simply
a Republican bolt, and drew to AL
most no extent from the Democratic
party. With ali OF the frantic efforts
that were made to secure votes from
people generally. the result shows
that practically none but former Re-
pubiicans Joined the Roosevelt move
mcnt.
The decisive victory OF Taft and
| Hedges ov.r Roosevelt and Straus IL
a dem onstration that nc then Repub-
Leans OF the State Of New York de-
sired the denomination OF President

State properly expressed the prefer
enee OF the Republicans when a large
majority of them voted for Mr., Taft
at the Chicago convention"
