Taft Hits T. r. in
Election Statement

CINCINNATI. Nov 6.-President
Taft at II o'clock last night conceded
the election of Governor Wilson. He
issued the following statement from
his brothers home here:
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 prosperity
sincerely hope 1t may be.
The vote for Mr. Roosevelt the third
party candidate. and for Mr.. Debs, the
Socialist candidate, is a warming that
their propaganda in favor of funda
mental changes In our constitutional
representative government has formid-
able support.
while the experiment of a change in
the tariff is being carried out by the
Democratic administration it behooves
Republicans to gather again to the par
ty standard and pledge anew their
faith in their party's principles and to
organize again to defend the constitu-
tional government handed down to us
by our fathers. We must make clear
have been weaned away from sound
principles of government by promise OF
reforms, impossible of accomplishment
by mere legislation, that patriotism and
common sense require them to return
to support of our constitution. with
out compromising our principles, we
must convince and win back former
Republicans, and we must reinforce
our ranks with constitution loving
democrats.
I'VE favor every step of progress to-
ward more perfect equality OF oppor-
tunity and the Kidding society of injus-
tice. But we know that all progress
worth making is possible with our pres
eHt form of government and that to
sacrifice that which is Of the highest
value in our governmental structure
for underlined and impossible reforms is
the widest folly. We must face the
danger with a clear knowledge of what
it is, The Republican party is equal tc
the task. 1t has had no nobler cause
Let us close ranks and march forward
to do battle for the right and the true
President Taft tonight sent tele-
grams. to Governor Wilson and Chair
man Hilles, of the Republican national
committee.

Governor Wilson carried New Jer-
sey, his own state, by big vote
A calm analysis OF the vote today
after a period of political frenzy which
marked the revolutionary returns
showed that the American people unit
ed in the following specific demands:
A revision of the tariff downward;
legislation to reduce the cost of living;
a satisfactory solution of the trust
problem, and progressive national
policy in legislation.
Political students declare that the
Wilson victory has set back the cause
of woman suffrage, as this was an issue
upon which the Democratic party did
not take a decided stand. Upon the
other hand, the Progressive party car
ried in it's platform an avowed suffrage
plank.
Two of the biggest factors entering
into the lection OF Governor Wilson
was the solid South" and the silent
vote" Neither President Taft nor
Colonel Roosevelt could break the solid
South, and the silent vote" to which
frantic appeals were made for months
before the electors voted overwhelm-
ingly for Wilson

Illinois Swings
Toward Wilson

CHICAGO, Nov. 6.-Late results from
the state outside Cook county indicate
that Wilson is rapidly overhauling the
Roosevelt lead. Democratic managers
here predicted at 10 o'clock today that
the final count would show that the
New Jersey governor had carried the
more.
The entire Democratic ticket swept
the state, excepting the presidential
electors still in doubt. In Cook county
including Chicago-the Democrats
won after one of the hardest fights ever
known here. Maclay Hoyne, Democrat,
candidate for states attorney, was
elected after a neck-and- neck race with
William A. Guinea, Socialist, who ear
ly in the count had lead over the field
Peter Bartsen, president Of the county
board, against whom one of the most
spectacular fights Chicago has ever
seen was waged, emerged successful
and was reelected.
In the state at large, Roosevelt's
strength was less than had been ex-
pected. His early lead, which was in
dicated at 10000, dwindled as the count
came in until 1t practically disappeared.
Bull Moose leaders in Chicago said
there was no danger that the late down
state vote would change the returns.
Edward F. Dunno, Democratic can
didate for governor, won with the other
members of his ticket. Frank H. Funk.
Progressive, made a great race against
Dunno in the state, outside Chicago.

own hackers.

Atlanta Rejoices
AS Returns Come in.

Atlanta received the election news
even as the prodigal son stood upon
the hilltop and shifted the aroma of
Moosers and occasional Taft men stood
in the streets, crowded the club rooms
or listened to the band in the big Audi
torium until midnight long after it was
definitely established that Wilson was
winner and the Colonel the runner-up.
The cheering was loud and long in the
early hours, but after that there wasn't
much to shout about. 1t was a case of
Don't cheer, boys; the poor fellows are
dying"
Fully 10000 rooters stood at Five
Points or as close thereto as they could
get and watched the bulletins flash on
the screen, announcing that Wilson
had carried nine towns in New Hamp-
! shire or that Roosevelt had swung three
precincts in the upper end of Schenec-
tady. 1t wasn't long before whole
states from the East began flashing on
the sheet and then the news came that
The New York Sun and The New York
Press claimed the country for Wilson.

and various Taft sheets began conced-

tracks until midnight and then all tried
TO ride home at once.
The Georgian's extras announcing tho
victory Of Wilson met a ready sale
Half the men in the Five Points crowd
bought paper to get the facts in con-
Vincing form. There were pink edi-
lions sticking out of every pocket and
on the cars the straphangers were try

feet at the same time.
Down at the Auditorium a crowd
which nearly Allied the big structure
cheered the returns as they came and
listened TO the band play ragtime. The
audience stuck until close TO midnight
watching the news from the later
Western states. Altogether it was a
big night, a highly satisfactory even

uority-is hoping the same show will

Wilson S Strength
Big Surprise.

Governor Wilson's strength in the
East and in the West and In the North
west, where progressive sentiment Is
very strong. proved a surprise When
returns were compiled, showing that
the Democratic ticket had swept Maine

Progressives began to have fears that
all New England would occupy a place
in the Democratic column. Wisconsin

one Of the founders of the progressive
movement in the United Staes, was
counted among the Wilson states
Slowness of the arrival OF returns
from the western part of Pennsylvania

Roosevelt had concentrated his heaviest
guns there. and il is the home of two

Michigan Still
Reported in Doubt

DETROIT Nov. 6.-This morning
Michigan still is in doubt. Returns are
slower both in the city and upstate
than in many years, owing TO the cot
ing for constitutional amendments.
Roosevelt's margin over Wilson now
is not more than 2,000. Taft is a very
poor third. So few districts are in that
these relative positions may be changed
within a few hours. The most certa in

The rage for feathers which has
marked the summer millinery has
given a serious setback to the arti-
fetal flower industry, and an attempt
is to be made to introduce flower be-
decked hats in the coming winter.
At the beginning of the season
many attempts were made to pop
ularize floral millinery fashions, but
women insisted on having feathers or
perky bows of ribbons for the adorn-
ment of their headwear. All kinds
of beautiful blossoms were introduced
in colors true to nature and in colors
unknown to nature, with the object
of Turing women back to their old al
legiance to the flower decked summer
hat, but women would have none of
them.
Feathers or nothing at all, that was
the decision, and flowers were rele-
gated to the top shelf.

DR.. Forbes WinsIow Declares There

London-There will be more luna
tics in the world than sane people
three hundred years hence. was the
prophecy DR.. Forbes Winslow made.
This prophecy is based upon the pres
ent rate of the growth of lunacy as
revealed by recent returns.
Doctor Winslow expressed strong
disagreement with the statement
made at the Eugenics congress by
Doctor Mott to the effect that increase
In lunacy was more apparent than
real. and told a press representative
that in making such statement Doc
tor Mott apparently referred to Lon
don only DIR. Forbes Winslow said
that from his knowledge of the prog
ress of lunacy In all parts of the
world he had come to the conclusion
that I'VE are rapidly approaching q

part of the world civilization is ad-
vancing. and so insanity is also bound
to advance There were 36.762 regis
tered lunatics in 1859. but $4,000 at
the present day. That showed the
alarming increase"
