the results might have been differ

Everywhere united, it is also true that
this union would have occurred If
there had been widespread dissatisfac-
ton with the Democratic administra-
ton.
The Republican party will not unite
until distressing conditions throughout
the country make it necessary to over
throw the party responsible for those
conditions. If they do not occur there
will be no incentive to union. The
elections show that up to the present
time, at least, the country accepts with
out protest, the legislation which the
Democratic party has enacted. 1t may
be that sufficient time has not elapsed
in which to test the effect of the new
tariff. This will be for, the future 10

remains that there is no disaster. The
people are accepting the new tariff
and adjusting themselves to it with a
feeling that everything is forNthe best
If this sentiment did not prevail it
would not be possible for the Demo-
Gratis to win. The fact that they have
won in Massachusetts, New Jersey,
and Maryland must, therefore, be a
source of great qualification to the
President, because, after all, he and
his administration were on trial
President Wilson may now be ex-
pected to insist with more emphasis
than ever upon his right to leadership.
He is justified in so doing. If New
Jersey and Massachusetts, had gone
Republican he would have lost pres
tige. As they went Democratic, he
is entitled to the credit of indorse-
ment. He has already demonstrated
his ability to dominate his party in
Congress, and he could probably go
much further with perfect safety. He
is apt to see how far he can 60 in the

If successful in this effort, as he prob
ably will be, he will formulate pro-
gram of antitrust and railroad ,regu-
lation legislation and Congress will
obey his will. He has much of the
Gladstone methods in dealing with pub-
lie affairs. Like the great English
statesman, he takes up one thing at a
time and insists upon the accomplish
ment of that one effort. He does not
scatter. This concentration of en-
deavor is sure to produce results. 1t

II Is embarrassing to have two candi-

chance in a year that promises reaction

After all it pays to be President as

Connecticut has included the mamie of

citizens who own bonds and securities

William H. has $4,000 in such securities

investments, so his thrift in four years

that a President cannot save anything
out OF his salary is dissipated by the
Taft record.
II was a matter of cheerful comment

NEED CHAUFFERS
OF GOOD CHARACTER
Automobile Owners, Says Ex-
pert, Should Use Great Care
in Selecting EmpIoye.

Great injustice Is rendered the av-
erage chauffeur when 1t is claimed that
chaufeurs, as a class. are unworthy of
confidence and trust" says the head OF
a large automobile college
THE rapid growth Of the automobile
industry has attracted to all its branch
es certain classes of undesirables who
previously have been failures. The
chauffeurs' profession Is one of the
most important branches Of the in
dustry. The great demand for motor
car operators has called into this
branch of the business large number
of men of questionable character. These
men are the ones who have brought i'll
repute on the profession generally.
Many owners have suffered in the
hands Of irresponsible chauffeurs.
Now. that the legislatures in a num-
Der of States have taken steps to raise
the standard of this profession by elm
mating those with bad records. and also
by obliging a chauffeur to pass rigid
examination before he can obtain
license. the owner is more assured
when he gives employment to chauf-
feur." continued the college head.
However, an owner should not fail
IN investigate thoroughly the past per-
formances of the man he employees.
Letters of recommendation are easily
obtained. 1t would seem advisable 10
consult personally the person issuing
the recommendations.

Charlie Sullivan. who twirled for the

last season. and has been working out

fer with Kitty" 3ransfeld. manager OF
the Montreal International Leaguers, to-
day in the hopes of catching on with the

turned to Helena by Manager Griffith.
Owing to the unusually large number
of excellent pitchers in the squad here,
sullivan has been unable to break into
the lineup. He is a wiling worker. has
a fine curve ball and, as soon as the
warmer weather arrives, should pitch
some good ball. But there is no place
on the Washington club for him and so
Manager Griffith has informed him.
The Montreal club is sadly in need OF
pitchers and Sullivan thinks he may
have a chance to land a berth with
Montreal. With the Royals is Lussi, A
first baseman with Helena last summer
and a former teammate OF Sullivan s.
Both were bought by Manager Griffith.

Shaw Will Stay.
Jim Shaw, the young pitcher from
Pittsburgh, will not accompany the
Climbers to Washington next Wednes-
day. Manager Griffith has arranged for
him 10 work out with the Montreal
club here for two weeks before joining
the Capital City outfit. In that time the
youngster should have strengthened his
arm sufficiently to be able to take his
turn on the mound in the morning prac-
tice At present he is i'm no shape and,
