PROTECTIVE TARIFF
AND ADEQUATE NAVY
FAVORED BY MANN
Republican Leader of House
Indicates Party's Program
and Predicts Triumph at
Elections of 1916.

| CHICAGO, Nov. 6.-Protection for
American industries, the upbulding OF
! the commerce of the country, the con-
! struction Of navy that will be sufficient
| to protect the country and guard our
commerce, aud a guaranteed protection
| of life and property in Mexico. will be
four of the principal planks In the Re-
publican platform at the next general
election, according to Congressman James
r. Mann Of Illinois, Republican leader
in the House.
"The verdict of this election amounts
to a vote OF censure on the Democratic
Administration. not only for what 1t has
done, but for what it has left undone,'
said Congressman Mann.
THE Democratic tariff bill has been
failure. Their treatment Of commercial
enterprise has had the result Of throttllng
commerce to a large extent.
"I do not look for very much legisls-
tion at Washington next winter. If the
Democrats havo the House, as they APP
pear to have, Champ Clark will be the
next Speaker. The Republicans will not
enter into any movement to throw him
over for one of the blind followers OF
Wilson. There has been more or less talk
of such a plan In Democratic circles, but
It will not come to pass.
PROTECTIVE TARIFF NECESSARY.
1.-THE greatest need of the country 10 .
revision of tho tariff. We must afford
protection to American lndustrier. AS
nf he xtyo In, ,tr
has the greatest opportunity that this or
any other country ever had. But If we
tell our people to go ahead and build fac
tories and to make all manner OF things
we must give them protection that will
warrant them in investing their capital,
II we are to build up the industries Of this
country on a firm and stable basis
"If we do this then the development
of the United States will be something
that but few have imagined and they only
dimly.
"A large navy is, inevitable as a result
of the European war. We must not only
Increase our navy, but we must look TO
our coast defenses and be prepared for
any eventuality. The Republican party
will stand pledged to this policy through
and through. The great navy must come
unless there should he an agreement
among all the nations whereby an inter
national court might be established to
which all disputes could be referred But
1 think that is unlikely at the present
time"
PROGRESSIVE PARTY DEAD.
Congressman Mann looks for the return
of those Republicans who Joined the Pro-
gressive movement
THE Progressive party is dead" he
said. "Of course, the leaders will con-
tinue to be kickers, but the great mass
of those who have been. Progressiyes will
line up with the Republicans on the pro-
lection idea, and two years from now a
protectiOnist will be elected President be-
cause n majority of the people arc pro-
tectionists and they will all be together
again"

DARK HORSE" MAY
Be ORGANIZATIONS
MAYORALTY CHOICE
Leaders Not Expected to
Pick Strongest Candidate,
Owing to Big Republican
Vote.

Republican Organization leaders are
| starting to lay plans for the municipal
election OF next year. and Mayoraltv
booms are now occupying much of their
time.
There are many candidates in the field
already but the possibility of a dark
horse" receiving the Organization sup
port is strong, because of the Republic
can victory Of last Tuesday Several
booms launched last summer received
little announcement from the leaders
who made It plain their selection of a
candidate for Mayor would deuend upon
tho nature of n Republican victory in
the state election this fall.
III was generally understood previous to
the election that II the Republicans car
rled Philadelphia by only slim majority
the strongest candidate who could be
found would receive the support OF the
Organization leaders while if the Victory
were anything like a sweep, the candidate
would not have to be so strong.
There is more discussion as to whether
the Wares or Penrose will have the nam
Ing Of the Republican candidate, and
whether Congressman Ware will run
again, than Of any other phase of the
situation.
Politicians say there Is a strong possi-
bility that the Wares will be permitted
to name the candidate provided he is ac-
ceptable to Penrose. They do not believe
however, that William S. Ware will seek
the nomination. He Is satisfied with the
present situation, they say, and likes
Washington.
JUDGE PATTERSON MENTIONED.
II Ware keeps out OF the race Judge
Patterson is the Wares second choice,
with Receiver OF Taxes Kendrick also
favored by the downtown leaders. AS
carly as last June, word was passed to
Ware workers that Judge Patterson
would receive the Ware support, so his
candidacy has gained considerable head
way. although no announcement has been
made.
Judge Patterson himself, however. hos
evidently not sanctioned his boom, as
his friends say he does not aspire to be
Mayor.
Recorder OF Deeds Ernest l.. Tustin is
another possible candidate. He would
have the support OF Penroge and Nc
Nichol. City Controller Walton has also
been mentioned, but he has said that he
will not be q candidate under any circum-
stances. Transit Director Taylor is an
other possibility.
Director Taylor has also been suggested
for the independent nomination together
with Directors Porter and Cooke. and
Sheldon Potter, Select Councilman from
the 22d Ward and ex-Director of Public
Safety.
Discussion of the situation has extend
ed even further than the mayoralty nom
nations, and 1t Is generally accepted in
Republican Organization circles that
Chairman Connolly, of Councils Finance
Committee, will be the Republican Or
ganlsation candidate TO succeed City So
licitor Ryan.

Official in Third Division of
Third Ward Receivers Re-
turn Sheets for Court Max
ing Computation.

Judge Audenried, who, with Judge Da-
Wis, is making the official computation

election officers today for their failure
to file papers as required by law.

perintendent Rains had received no re-
turns at all, and when the judge Of

terday he said the envelopes containing
the figures were probably locked UP in the

When the box was taken to court to-
day the election officer appeared with the
envelope In his hands. "You did not
extract that from the ballot box, did
your queried the Judge, in surprise
oh no." returned the election Of
ficer, II found them behind the piano"
What were you doing with piano In

ried.
The election officer explained the piano
was In his home, where he had gone
after leaving the polling place. 'T re-
member now" continued the election
officer, that I Put the envelope on the
plano, and the paper must have fallen
back of II, for when ! went to look for
them, I could not find them, and / did
not remember whether l had put them in
the ballot box or not. Last night I
searched my house and found them"
Judge AudenTlsd accepted the belated
returns. but told the election officar that
such Carelessnest was aVOldable.
MINORITY INSPECTOR SUMMONED.
In the 9th Division OF the 18th Ward,
the Judge OF election. was surprised that
the court had received no returns and
said they were probably locked up i'm
the ballot box. Judge Audenrled in

the division and see II, he had his papers
filled In.
Another division from which there had
been no regular report was the 28d OF
the 18th Ward. but the Judge OF election
appeared at the bar with what he de-
clared was a duplicate OF return sheets
The papers were examined carefully by
Judges Audenrisd and Davis, and the
former then remarked, why, where did
you get these extra blanks7"
From the Commissioners ONCE" re-
piled the election officer.
"But the County Commissioners have
no right 20 give out stationary like this"
declared the Court. From what did you
make out these returnsT'

When the Court resumed counting the
vote today the returns from the 7th Ward
were taken up. so far there has been
only slight discrepancies found between
the unoficial police figures and the ofhcial
figures og the Court. and the differences
have no effect whatever on the result Of

WOMAN, IN COURT, PLEADS
FOR HUSBAND, NOT MONEY
He Remains obdurate as Wife Begs
Him to Return,

Il don't want money: I want only my
husband was the plea of Mrs. Julia
Hovarth, who married John Hovarth a
year ago when she was lying at the point
of death. Mrs. Hovarth appeared in the
Domestic Relations Court against her
husband whom she accused of desert
ing her.
She was inconsolable when Hovarth
vowed he would not return to her. When
Judge Brown asked Mrs Hovarth how
much money she thought she would need
for herself, she sobbed and pleaded with
her husband who stood near her at the
court rail, to return to her. She declared
she did not want money; she wanted only
him.
The Hovarths were married two years
ago at the Woman's Hospital. Mrs.
Hovarth was believed to be dying when
the ceremony took place. She recovered,
but after a few weeks her husband de-
serted her, she said.
Hovarth declared he never would live
in the same house with his wife, because
he was afraid she would kill him. Mrs.
Hovarth has been employed at 2Sl7 North
Broad street. An uncle took her to At
lantic City this morning.

LOSSES AT 100000
Quarter of First Line Already Gone,
He Estimates.

He Estimates.
LONDON, Nov. 6.--Hilalre BeIloc, writ
ing to the London Daily Mail, estimates
the German losses to date at 1.76o,O00 men.
"I know" he writes. that this figure
looks startlingly large, but the various
steps by which II ls arrived at are not,
1 think, open to criticism. 1t would be
easy, by a little manipulation OF the fig
ures. TO make out very much larger
totals. 7 have attempted. on the con-
trary, to fix the lowest conceivable mini
mum"
The figure, 1.75OOOO, includes losses by
sickness. fatigue and accidents. The
strict German losses in the 1eld-men
hit or caught-he puts at more than
1,25O,OO0
These losses" he writes, have, al
most up to within the last two weeks or
so. fallen in the main upon the trained
troops Of the enemy and with particular
severity upon his body of officers. This
loss of nearly 10000 at very least, which
has already fallen for the most part on
the trained army, and equals the un-
trained mass behind II. has fallen most
heavily on tho first and best. II comes
TO more than a NTH OF all the two pos
sibls categories combined; more than a
fifth of those who can ever make real SOL
diers, and OF these more than a quarter
OF the first line"

WASHINGTON, Nov. 6.-FederaI quar-
antine against the foot and mouth disease
Of cattle today was extended to take in
ten States Experts Of the Depart
ment of Agriculture have also been
hurried to Mississippi to investigate con-
ditions there, although no quarantine
order against that State has been issued
This was the substance of statement by
Secretary Of Agriculture Houston
Fear is entertained by officials of the
Department of Agriculture that babies
and young children In the districts under
quarantine may have become infected
through the use of milk from diseased
COWS.
Director Wharton, Of the Bureau Of
Information, stated today that babies and
young children are susceptible to the
disease, but although adults may be at
tackled. cures are effected easily. AS
yet the department does not expect to
establish quarantine of persons in the
infected area, as no reports os the spread
of the disease to humans has yet reached
the department.
THE greatest care must be exercised
in using milk from infected cows" DIrec-
tor Wharton asserted today. "Tf local
authorities do not see to this, the rate
Of infant mortality will show an alarm
Ing increase"
There was hopeful side to the sltua-
tion, however, for reports that reached
the department announced the epidemic
in Indiana and Michigan was believed to
be under control. Cattle In Pennsyl-
vania. New York. Ohio Indiana, Mlchi-
gan, Illinois, Wisconsin. Iowa and Massa-
chusetts are now quarantned.
"lf the disease is stamped out soon the
price of meat will not be affected" 1t was
said at the Department of Agriculture,
but II conditions become chronic prices
will suffer, Foot and mouth disease is
frightfully contagious, and the only way
to stamp 1t out is to kill the afflicted
cattle"
