MEMBERSHIP COMMITTEE
OF THE BOARD OF TRADE
SURE TO GET RESULTS
CAMPAIGN FOR NEW MEMBERS
SHOULD RECEIVE SUPPORT
OF ALL CITIZENS.

The board of trade campaign for
new members, inaugurated yesterday,
is sure to get big results as this work
is in too good a cause not to receive
support.
The board of trade is doing a great
work for Brunswick and to fully ap-
preciate what is being done one must
be member of the body. 1t is not
the membership fee that is desired
so much as the individual n every
one should share in the work as well
as the glory that is bound to accrue
later on. A spirit of cooperation is
desired, everyone should be working
for Brunswick, as everyone will share
in renewed growth and prosperity
Much matter is being sent out thru
the mail and the committee is also
hard at work. Don't wait for these
things, however, but send in for an
application or better call at the board
of trade rooms and settle the matter
quickly and surely.
A largely increased membership is
earnestly desired by II o'clock noon
of Monday, November II. If you are
interested enough in the movement
and the board of trade to want to
know the reason be sure and join be-
fore that date.

The result fills me with the hope
that the thoughtful progressive forces
of the nation may now at last unite
to give the country freedom of enter
prise and government released from
all corporate and private influences
devoted to justice and to progress.
There is absolutely nothing for the
honest and enlightened business men
to fear. No man whose business Is
conducted without violations OF the
rights of free competition and with
out such private understanding and
secret alliances as violate the prin-
ciple of our law and the policy of
all wholesome commerce ana enter
prise, need fear neither interference
nor embarrassment from the admin
istration. Our hope and purpose is
now to bring all the forces OF the
nation into active and intelligent CO
operation and to give to our prosper
ity freshness and spirit and a con-
fidence such as 1t has not had in
our time.

1,07O of the 2,7SS down-state precincts
the vote stood: Wilson, 1OO,44O; Col

In Cook county 1853 out of a total
OF 1,49S precincts gave Roosevelt
l23,6O4, Wilson 104,9O9 and Taft 59..

new York, Nov. 6.-Responsibilit
for the, defeat of President Taft
rests squarely and solely upon Mr..
Roosevelt" said Chairman D Hilles
OF the republican national commit
tee, in statement issued after mid
night. But for Mr. Roosevelt's ac-
tion in deserting the republican par
ty, he said, Mr.. Taft would unques-
tionably have been elected"
The statement follows
For the third time in fifty-two
years the administration of the gov.
ernment has been transferred from
the republican party to the Lemocra
tic. In each previosu instance the
republican party has been soon again
recalled to power, for its policy, it's
history and its administration have
been found the sanest and safest and
the most conducive to the well being
and prosperity of the people and the
permancy of it's institutions. So it
will be in 1916
The republican party will pursue
and /stain its policies with .undi-
minishing confidence. 1t will return
to supremacy in 1916 with it's poll
cies fully policies of rea-
sonable protection to American in
dustries and the independence OF the
judiciary. 49, ~yw
out of all the conflict of this ex-
traordinary campaign there can be
drawn supreme consolation in which
every citizen of the Union must
share-that through the uncompro-
missing and unuinching warfare of
President Taft and the republican
party the third term attack upon our
institutions has been defeated and
the stamp of condemnation placed
upon it by large majority of the
citizenship Of the country-and also
through the determination and ex-
posure of the dangerous policy of the
third term party he has repelled the
assault on the constitution of our
fathers and upon the sound and basic
elements of national life.'

the majority Of states, however, the
vote was larger than at any previous
presidential election, and the final
returns in the actual number of the
ballots cast Tor the three candidates
is expected to exceed all past rec
ords.
The defeat of President Taft, the
division of the republican party be-
tween Taft and Roosevelt, and the
consequent division of republican or
ganizations, resulted in complete vic
tories in many states. In New York
the democrats carried the state tic
ket and legislature. In Illinois the
democrats elected governor.
