RECENT ELECTION AN EN-
 DORSEMENT OF PRESI-
 DENT WILSON, BRYAN

" dSluhStoh, NOV. TT secretary Dry an. back at the state department, af- ter his campaign trip west, issued formal statement declaring that the elections could not De considered oth- erwise than an endorsement Of Presi- dent Wilson and and his policies
 The statement follows.
 The election of t914 cannot be con sidered otherwise than as an en- dorsement of the president and his policies. There were number of causes which operated against our party, namely the efforts of the bene- ficiaries of protection who out of re- sentiment. sought to make the tariff law obneXioasi the disturbed Zeendi- tion caused by the European war; and the fact that the excellent laws passed by congress had not had time to prove their worth. Then. too, more progressiyes returned to the republican party than We expected this alone accounted for most of the republican gains in the house. The victory. however, was sufficiently complete to show that the people are with the president and he is now ab- le to continue the splendid program upon which he has entered.
 The gains in the senate are espec- ially gratifying, not q single democrat defeated for reelection and three senatorships taken from the repubi cans
 There is every reason to believe that the Administration will grow in popularity as the laws go into effect and as democratic policies bear fruit. The new currency law is just begin hing to operate; before the next election 1t will have vindieated it's claim to public confidence
 "The new tariff law cannot be re pealed untilafter the people have had chance to try it out and now that the election is over the pro seeted manufacturers are already re- suming work. Some Of them suspendet operations or cut down their force before the election; and they did it under conditions which left little doubt that they hoped to arouse op- position to the new tariff law See ing that the law is here to stay, they will now proceed to demonstrate the fallacy of the arguments which they used in opposing reductions.
 The presidents foreign policies are endorsed and his hands strength ened
 "The outstanding fact in the late election returns is the slump ill the progressive y,He \ large percentage of the progressive republicans have returned 10 tue republican party. and that, too without any surrender on the par 0 | 'staadpatters and re aetionaries The leadership of the regular republican party has under gone no change. Senator Penrose and ex-Speaker Cannon will rep resent that party ill the senate and house and the returning progressiYes must be prepared to accept all that they protested against, and more, for the standpatters, after having over come the defection, are even further from reform than they were two year ago
 The democratic party deserves the suppor. of all real progressiyes and the next two years it will draw to itself those progressiyes who understand the radical nature of the issue which separates the democrat from the aristocrat and the pluto crat"

! dent of the Drama League of America,

port Woman's club at the December

! being immoral and the actor for pre-
senting the plays. while in fact these
people are only catering to the public
demands. She emphasized the ne
cessity of awakening people TO the re-
sponsibility that they have in the mat
ter.
The club began a movement that
may result in a permanent home for
the body when a motion was made and

ans club take steps to establish itself
in permanent home" The club was
organized in February, 1910. and has
a membership of 500 women. Meet
ings are this year being held at the

bers to possess a home of their own
