Rooseveitian strenuosity and spectacu-
larity are tabooed by the twenty-eighth
President OF the United States was
made quite evident at the Woodrow
Wilson bungalow early today.
while admirers OF the President
elect were celebrating his success far
into the morning and while the members
Of his family. early astir. were fiutter-
ing about the house in undisguised
ecstasy. the newly chosen Chief Execu-
tive vas peacefully pounding his ear"
and .aking the most OF a weii-earned
rest. Even the wild rawlings OF 1900
college students who had lost all track
Of time. and continued well on to noon

first mea2er returns from Massachu-
sctts yesterday afternoon were not SUI
ficient to break the SAUNDERS OF the
President-elect. He was the last MEM
Der Of his family to appear for break
fast.

parading up and down Nassau street,
shortly after midnight and zig-zagging
through a chain Of bonfires that illu-

the time he had not yet received the
kilograms OF congratulation sent him
by President Taft and Colonel Roose-
welt. although he knew that they had
been sent. Pressed for a statement on
the result Of the election he said: :.

are too big to discuss off-hand tonight.
The appearance OF the Wilson bunga-

President-elect was getting along well
with his sleeping program. His wife
and three daughters were astir before

OF congratulation pouring in on the
Wilson cottage.

for the day. though II was the early ex-
pectation that Chairman McCombs and
some Of the campaign committee from
New York would visit him during the
afternoon. II was further stated that
