SUPPOSE.

Suppose, just to illustrate that taxes
ard rents have nothing to do with the
prosperity of a town, that Moscow
during the coming years, advertise
that it will furnish a good house, and
no taxes, to every laboring man and
family that will live in Moscow? Sup
pose, that when we send out these
advertisements we add: There i, no
employment for workingmen in Mos
cow" We couldn't get one laboring
man to accept our free rent and no
taxes Men could not live here. Sup
pose, on the other hand, there is steady
work in Moscow, and at the same time
tell the world that rents and taxes
are high. Many desirable families
would, with assurance of employment,
come to Moscow and live. so. after
all, the prosperity of town is based
on a payroll and business. iIisL
taxes are of no concern to business
man if there is plenty of business. The
Workingman does not care how high
taxes are if he has steady emp ov
ment at decent wages. So, whea we
consider the paving issue, let us get
this idea firmly fixed in our minds: f
paved streets will make Moscow a
better town it will be a good thing for
all the people in the town, and that
settles it. Now, there can be no
doubt about paved streets helping a
town That cannot be denied. Then
vote for bonds Vote for the good of /
he whole community.

Of Massachusetts, and Connecti-

Chicago, Nov. Gin only seven of
the states which elected governors
were the returns up to 1880 p. m. CON-
plete enough to indicate the probable
result, and in only one of these, Illt-
nois, was there an apparent switch
from the Republican to the Democratic
column.
William Sulzer, Democrat, was elect
ed in New York.
In Massachusetts, and Connecticut
the indications were that the incumb-
ents, Eugene N. Foss, Democrat, and
Simeon E. Baldwin, Democrat, were re-
elected.
In Illinois, Edward F. Dunno, Demo-
crat, appeared to be leading by safe
margin.
Texas returned Oscar B. Colquitt.
In Missouri The election of Elliott

HOW TAFT HEARD NEWS.
Spent Evening in Same House where
He Heard He Was Elected.

s'S s'SS'N Nv wac .'SSS'
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 a 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
lily 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
II defeated, and that intention was
said last night not to have been III
tered.
President Taft at II p. m. conced-
cd the election OF Governor Wilson
and issued the following statement:
1.-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. II this change
can be made without halting prosper
ity, sincerely hope 1t may be.
"The vote for Mr.. Roosevelt, the
third party candidate, and for MIR.
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 the experiment Of change
in the tariff is being carried out by
the Democratic administration, it 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
quire 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"

GIVES UP WITH GOOD GRACE.
Colonel Roosevelt Congratulates Gov
ernor Wilson on Election to
Presidency,


Oyster Bay, Nov. 6.-Shortly before
midnight Colonel Roosevelt made the
following statement:
"The American people by a great
plurality have decided in favor of Mr..
Wilson and the Democratic party.
Like all good citizens, accept the re-
suit with entire good humor and con-
tentment. AS for the Progressive
cause, can only repeat what I have
already so many times said: The fate
of the leader for the time being is
of little consequence, but the cause it.
self must in the end triumph, for ita
triumph is essential to the well being
of the American people,"
At the same time he issued his state.
ment Colonel Roosevelt sent the fol
lowing telegram to Governor Wilson:
"The American people by a great
plurality have conferred upon you the
highest honor in their gift / congrat
ulate you thereon
Colonel Roosevelt said he would
make no further statement than the
brief one he issued Just before -
o'clock. He smilingly declined to ans
wer interrogations. He was seemingly
in the best of spirits and not at all
perturbed over the failure OF the Pro.
gressves to win this election.

Five Democratic Congressman.

New Haven.-Connecticu which
four years ago gave Taft plurality
of $4,000, gave good-sized majorities
to Governor Woodrow Wilson for
President and Governor Simeon E.
Baldwin, Democrat, for governor. To
make the victory more complete, the
Democrats elected all five congress-
men. Congressman Ebenezer J. Hill,
Republican. was defeated for re-elec-
ton in the Fourth district by Jere-
miah Donovan. In the State Legisla.
ture the House is Republican, but the
makeup Of the Senate is still in doubt.

WILSON HEARS NEWS oFvIcroRY
Successful Candidate Was Not over
Confident on Hearing Early
Returns.

Princeton, N. j., Nov. Ex-Governor
Wilson sat last night with a party
cf friends around a 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 the party about the
dinner table showed its pleasure.
Captain Bill" Mcdonald, the Texas
ranger, who is the governors body
guard, read q stack Of returns and felt
SO happy that he exclaimed:
II wonder If I'd get arrested If
just shot off my guns. II 1t keeps
up this way I'll Just have to turn 'em
loose"
Captain Mcdonald is close friend
OF Colonel Roosevelt, but differs with
him politically.
The governor was not over-conh-
dent. When shown the returns from
New York city he smiled.
Pm supposed to carry the city by
three to one in order to win the
state" he said, as he continued his
dinner.
Responding to a telegram from the
Democratic national chairman, assert
ing that Governor Wilson unquestion-
ably was elected, the Democratic can
didate sent dispatch to Mr.. McCombs
as follows:
II 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
and conduct of a 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 60 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.
