majority of voters of Baltimore believe
in protective tariff principles, and the
figures showing that President Wilson
in 1912 fell short of the protection vote
in Baltimore by over 1900 votes.
Speaking along these lines, Chairman
TAFT said:
AT the presidential election in 1912

utilization 6S,9G6 The combined Roose
welt and Taft vote in baltimore city
was 1926, or I.246 in excess of that of
President Woodrow Wilson with a
apparent, he fell short of the protec-
ton vote in this city 1.2iS votes.
smith IS not the vote-getter that
Woodrow Wilson is, and Darlington
will defeat him in Baltimore. In 1872
the democratic utilization in Baltimore
exceeded the republican utilization "a
229. 1t exceeds it today 2S.274. The
democratic utilization in Baltimore all
ways disappears on election day by
virtue of the fact that majority of
the voters of Baltimore, notwithstand-

New Tax Basis.
The new taxable basis of Baltimore 10
sS1S,102,313, an increase of S36,41l,2l9
over 1914, according to the tax court
statement made public Friday Securi-
Notwithstanding the depression in the
money market. the total assessments
going beyond the 100000. 900 mark for
the first time in Baltimore.
Compared with individual figures for
1904. the year of the fire, real estate
creased 5S per cent, personal assess
ments rs per cent and the total basis
&c per cent.
1t is estimated that the new basis.
compared with that of 1914. will pro-
vide the city with an additional revenue
OF $5O1,53S from taxes next year This.
1t is thought, will enable the board of
estimates to fix the 1915 tax rate any
where from s190 to S1.9S, the present
rate. and at the same time be liberal in
making departmental appropriations.
Some officials seem to think that the
rate Will not exceed S1.95 on the $780,
Values Heavily Increased.
1t is not only the largest taxable
oasis in the history of the city, but il
9 the first solid basis since the gen.
,ral reassessment in 1896, due to re-
'iew of the assessment against every
'iece of property in the city made nec-
,ssary by the new system of having
he tax court make up the assessment
oils. As was pointed out by the
Judges of the tax court, the heavy IN
rease in which securities and real
state figured largely. came in spite of
he removal from the tax books of
{, 900. 537 worth of household furniture,
from the new. state law, ex-
xempring from taxation all such fur
iture up to u valuation of $500.
AS an evidence of the growth of the
ity since the fire of 1904. it may be
interesting to compare the basis OF
9O4. fixed before the fire, with that
ust announced.
In 1904. real. s264,16o.549; personal.
227, 494.112.
In 1915, real, s417.975.7s4; personal.

EAST AND WEST
 WILL MEET TODAY 7~--..-- -+s !, s-t--'----------------- - Interest of Country Gen. tered on Harvard Mich
 igan Battle

Cambridge, Mass, October 3O.--Eastern with the western football as developed by two major opponents, will be matched here tomorrow when Michigan meets Har- yard in game that promises to be the center of football interest of the country. It will be the first meeting of the two universities at football since 1895, when Harvard won, to 0.
 On account of injuries neither team will be at its best. Harvard will be with out the services of the famous Brickley. while Gait and several other stars will be missing from the Michigan lineup. From end to end the Michigan line will outweigh that or Harvard, but as the Crimson backfield includes four unusual ly husky players there will be little diff ference in the weight of the two eleyens taken as a whole. A Harvard victory by a moderate score was the prediction in Cambridge tonight.
 Clear weather and dry gridiron were in prospect.

FRESHMEN ROMP
 0N GREENE HIGH Alabama Second String Men Have Easy Time in
 Winning Victory

University, october S0.-(Special)-The Alabama freshmen defeated the team of Green university school here today by the score. of 62 to 13. The freshmen started things off with a rush and bucked the hall over in two minutes after the first whistle. After this they seemed to be able to score almost at will until the fourth quarter, when Coach VandeGraaff ran in an entire team of second-string men.
 The game was rather long drawn out affair, with much time taken out for both sides. The work of the freshmen was greatly superior to that of last Sat 'urday.
 The visitors were rather light, but showed great deal of speed and aggres- siveness.
 For Green, Jackson. Richardson. and Witt played excellent ball, while Rogers, Burnet, Deverre and Cullom for the fresh- men were the stars. , The teams lined up as follows:
 Freshmen: Hovater. center; Jones. lift guard; Maner, right guard; Sam Ford. right tackle; Latham. right end; Collom. left end; Leach. quarterback; Brannon, Deverre, fullback; Burnett. left halfback; Cleveland, Carter. right halfback.

2 Atlanta, October S0-Interest in south- ern football tomorrow centers chiefly in the annual game between Virginia and Vanderbilt at Nashville. Other games at- tracing much attention are the clashes between Georgia Tech and sewanee at Atlanta, Alabama and Tulane at Tusca- loosa, Georgia and Mississippi A. and M. at Athens, Ga. and North Carolina A. and M. and the Navy at Annapolis, Md.
 Gridiron experts consider Vanderbilt and Virginia to be evenly matched. The only medium of comparison, however, is that furnished by the results of the Georgia North Carolina. the Georgia Virginia and the vanderbilt-North Carolina games. Georgia was decisively defeated by North Carolina but made a somewhat better showing against Virginia. North Caro- lina's victory over Vanderbilt last Sat- urday was by one point.
 The result of the Tech-Sewanee game Is expected to provide basis for com parison of the relative strength of &c., vance and Alabama, which meet on Mo- vember ', and the University of Georgia

 Statement

Montgomery, October So-(specialo- low. Ing to the fact that an extra session of the legislature, if called, will consist of the new members who will be elected next Tuesday, there has been great activity shown during the past 10 days by the va rious candidates for speaker of the house The candidates for the office are E. D. Johnston of Madison, Henry P. Merritt of Tuskegee and A. II. Carmichael of Tus- cumbia. ae
 Supporters of E. D. Johnston, who will be elected a member of the house next Tuesday without opposition, contend that he has more pledges by a great many than either of his two opponents. MT. Joifn- ston is the son of the late Gov. and Sen- ator Joseph F. Johnston, and is fl years old He is now engaged in stock raising and grain farming, residing on a farm near Huntsville. Formerly MT. Johnston engaged in the practice of law.
 Mir. Johnston did effective work In the last campaign for Charles Henderson. democratic nominee for governor, and is regarded as one of the most progressive men in the state, being conservative in his views, and eager to lend his aid in whatever way possible to further the in- terest of the state.
 In statement which Mr. Johnston gave The Age Herald correspondent he out lines in detail some of his views on pub lie questions. My ambition to be speaker of the next house is grounded upon the belief that happy and effectual re- vision of our fiscal system could not be brought about by factional legisla- ture. nor for that matter by a radical legislature Sid MT.
