Confident on Hearing Early
Returns

Princeton. N. j., Nov. 6.-Governor
Wilson sat last night with a party
Of friends around brilliantly illumi-
mated dinner table as the election re-
turns began to come in, earlier than
was anticipated. The first results the
governor got were favorable and his
comment was. That's very encourag
Ing" The returns that continued 10
come In from Massachusetts, Connect
icut and New York all favored Gov
ernor Wilson, and tho party about the
dinner table showed its pleasure.
Captain Bill" Mcdonald, the Texas
ranger, who is the governors body
guard, read a stack of returns and felt
SO happy that he exclaimed:
81 wonder if I'd get arrested if
just shot off my guns. If it keeps
up this way I'll just have to turn 'em
loose"
Captain Mcdonald is a close. friend
of Colonel Roosevelt, but differs with
him politically.
The governor was not over-confi-
dent. When shown the returns from
New York city he smiled.
I'm supposed to carry the city by
three to one in order to win the
state" he said, as he continued his
dilner.
Responding to a telegram from the
Democratic national chairman, assert
ing that Governor Wilson unquestion-
ably was elected, the Democratic can
didate sent a dispatch to Mr.. McCombs
as follows:
"I deeply appreciate your telegram
and wish to extend to you, and the
members OF the campaign committee,
my warm congratulations on the part
you have played In the organization
Gnd conduct of campaign fought out
upon essential issues.
"A great cause has triumphed. Ev-
cry Democrat, every true progressive,
of whatever allegiance, must now lend
his full force and enthusiasm to the
fulfillment of the peoples hope, the
establishment of the peoples right, SO
that justice and progress may go hand
in hand"
This was Governor Wilson's first ut
terance of public character following
his receipt of the reports that he had
been elected.

HOW TAFT HEARD NEWS.

He Heard He Was Elected.

Cincinnati, Nov. 6.-In the same
house where he heard the news of his
victory over w. j. Bryan four years
ago, President Taft last night read the
bulletins that told the story of the
election. Four years ago Mrs. Taft,
Miss Della Torrey of Mulberry, Mass,
his favorite aunt, and Mrs. Alice
Roosevelt Longworth, were present
TO hear the news. Last night
the president and c. P. Taft and
Mrs. Charles Anderson, Mrs. Tafts
sister, were the only members
of the family present, but few
friends dropped in during the evening
The president was cheerful and smil-
ing and apparently was under less
strain than other members of the fam-
ily dinner party at the home OF his
brother, c. P. Taft.
Mr.. Taft has many times declared
his intention of returning to Cincin-
natl and resuming the practice OF law
il defeated, and that intention was
said last night not to have been al
tered.

and issued the following statement:
The returns insure the election Of
Governor Wilson to the presidency.
This means an early change in the
economic policy of the government in
reference to the tariff. If this change
can be made without hating prosper
lty, l sincerely hope it may be.
"The vote for Mr.. Roosevelt, the
third party candidate, and for Mr..
Debs, the Socialist candidate, is a
warning that their propaganda in fav'
or Of fundamental changes in our con
stitutional representative government
has formidable support.
while tho experiment of change
in the tariff is being carried out by
the Democratic administration, 1t be-
hooves Republicans to gather again to
the party standard and pledge anew
their faith in their party's principles
and to organize again to defend the
constitutional government handed
down to us by our fathers. We must
make clear to the young men Of the
country who have been weaned away
from sound principles of government
by promise of reforms impossible OF
Accomplishment by mere legislation,
that patriotism and common sense re-
ouire them to return to a support of
our constitution. Without compromis.
ing our principles, We must convince
and win back former Republicans and
we must reinforce our ranks with con-
stitution-loving Democrats"

DEMOCRATS
WILL COMPEL BODY
TO VOTE ON TARIFF
Republican Leaders Realize
They Will Be Forced
to Yield.

Senate Republican leaders today ad-
uitted they would have to yield to the
demand of the Senate Democrats for
vt tie on one or more OF the tariff bills.
The Democrats will insist on a vote on
the wool bill at least and will hlibuster
against supply bills until they get it.
Senator Simmons, who has an ambi-
ticn to be the Democratic leader, and
who Is making the most OF the tariff
issue, forced the wool bill to the front
cnce more today. That Is, he insisted
on this bill being taken up instead OF
the srndry civil. Senator Warren IN
sisted on the sundry civil bill. and on a
vote tte Senate decided to take up the
sundry civil measure. The vote was
81 to q.
Then, Senator Simmons, as yesterday,
flibusteed against the bill by insist
ing that the first reading OF IT, which
was begun yesterday. go ahead.
The Senate Democrats, led by Sena-
tor Simmons, are insisting that the Re-
publican leaders consent to votes on the
pending tariff bills and they will fill
bester against appropriation bills unless
they are allowed such votes. They say
the Republicans want to pass the sup
ply bills and adjourn ignoring further
consideration OF the tariff.
1t became quite clear today the Re-
publicans could not prevent a vote or
at least one of the tariff bills befoDe
