rushed to large hole made by the
water at the manhole and frantically
threw sticks, stones, brush and poles
and whatever other timber they could
find into the hole In a futile effort to

Cincinnati Nov g. President Taft
at ii o'clock last night conceded the
election Of Gov, Woodrow Wilson He
issued the following statement from
his brothers home here:
The returns insure the election OF
Gov Wilson to the presidency. This
means an early change in the policy
o; the government in reference to the
tariff. If this change can be made
without Ealting pre-. egity, / 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 favor Of funda.
mental changes in our constitutional
representative government has for
midable support.
While the experiment Of a change
in the tariff is being carried out by
the Democratic administration, It be-
hooyes Republicans to gather again
to the party standard and pledge a new
theory in their principles and to or.
ganize again to defend the constitu-
tional 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 accomplish
ment by mere legislation, that patriot
ism and common sense require thaln
to return to a support of our constitu-
ton Without compromising our prin-
ciples. we must convince and win back
former Republicans and we must rein
force our ranks with consttutlonloy-
ing emocrats.7
