AMUSES PRESIDENT-ELECT

Princeton, n. j., Jan. 1.-THE reports
OF unsettled conditions in the financial
district as a result of President-elect
Wilson's two recent speeches, one in
Chicago last Saturday and the other In
Trenton on Monday, provoked deal OF
discussion in and about the Statehouse
to-day The President-elect had read
the reports printed in the morning news
Papers, and while he treated the matter
lightly. declaring it amused him more
than anything else, he permitted his
secretary. Joseph Tumulty, to issue a
statement calling attention to the fact
that the President-elect had not changed
his attitude since election, and that he Is
merely saying now what he said then
in his campaign speeches
Senator-elect Ollie James of Kentucky
after a conference with the President
elect, stated that II anybody started 4
Ianic, the Democrats being in control of
Congress. would appoint committee of
investigation and find out who was re-
sponsibIe for il. When il was later re-
peated to the President-elect. he said:
Then they could find out by the in
vestigation whether l was responsible
or not
Tu,nuIty's Statement.
Secretary Tumultys statement follows:
Attempts are being made to make an
issue of Gov. Wilson's speech at Chi
cago. This is nothing less than anus
ing. Gov. Wilson's attitude on business
and its relations to the government, as
expressed in his several speeches since
election, is. as any well-informed person
in the country would testify, exactly
the same as his attitude before his NOM
ination and before his election. Every
word that Gov. Wilson has uttered Is in
complete harmony with the principles
TO which he has strictly adhered through
cut his public career.
III there is any surprise at this at
titude it can be manifested only by those
who fail to realize that the country has
elected to the Presidency an honest and
fearless man. who means exactly what
he says. 'iJUSEPH TUMULTi.

Rebelious and seditious spirits
from those we love are danger
Gus fangs, liable TO drive the
most sane man to fermentation.
With the awful, awfulness of
the horrible affair, which can
be described in words,
should be u warning to all
homes and families to the end
that sweetness, kindness. love
and devotion, should occupy the
place of spurious, poisonous and
venomous words n d acts,
which is the sole and produc-
ing cause of the above tragedy.
In reference to the direct
tragedy that happened in the
house, assuming that half the
tales that have been told by
the inmates are true, there is
nothing that warrants the ne
cessity of the boy taking his
fathers life.
Young and old should regard
it as such to the end that any
other recognition only tends to
stimulate and encourage crime.

ment is made without any re-
vengo on my part; the facts

done conditions of this lament.

Cleanest Election Yet.

The following report OF Fair
Elections Society on the No
vember election has been sub
mitted to the press of the Ninth
District.
For the information of the
public, | beg to state that i'm
mediately after the November
election | wrote 20 the vice
presidents of the Fair Elections
Society in all the counties re
questing that they write me a
letter giving me their opinion
az to whether there were any
serious violations of law in their
county, and in case there were
any such violations to give me
the names of the offenders and
the witnesses in the case. etc.
| have received letters from the
most of the vice presidents, and
| am glad to say that all report
that the election was in their
judgement one of the fairest
ever held in the District. and
that not single one of them
report any specific violation OF
the law.
beg to say further that |
have heard of no charge of VIC.
lation of law in the District ex.
cept the charge that the friends
of candidates used automobiles
for the purpose of getting vo.
tiers to the polls. Personally
am of opinion that this is not IA
violation of law, but if the par.
ties making the charges desire
to press them the question will
be put before the courts for de-
cision.
