Columbus, o., Nov. 6,-Defeated, but
here today discussed plans of reorgan-

ciares that it will be as active as il

heiicve that its chances are not fine.
He hopes to organize a national repub
Lean club as a part of the national re-
principles of the party and become an
active political force in elections and
between elections.
When asked if he might become the
standard bearer of the party in 1915,
he smiled, but did not repy. He plans
to return to Cincinnati and engage in
the practice of law.
He believes that Woodrow Wilson'S
task is no easy one and hopes that viii
son will not call a SPECIAL session ~
revise the tariff. He thinks that Will
son is confronted with congress which
is insurgent for histronic purposes only.
He laughed when he said that he was
