The fight is won. We have Re-

at noon after hearing the reports of
the progress of the voting from all
over the country. He declared that
the result of the returns at New Ash

whole country
Chairman Mccormick, of the Demo-

BOROUGH HAS
POLICE PATROL
Council Decides to Purchase
Car For Use of Force and
Street Commissioner

Steelton now has adequate police
protection.
This was brought about by council
last night when in monthly session it
decided to place three new patrolmen
on the borough's force. Aside from
placing these men on the force council
authorized the purchase of an auto
mobile, not to exceed S400, which will
be used as patrol. During the day
the street commissioner will have use
of the car and during the still hours
of the night it will belong to the po-
lice. This addition to the force was
much needed for some time. When a
hurry call was sent into the station the
patrolmen either had to run to the
scene or borrow a car.
The addition of the new patrolmen
is believed to come out of the sugges-
tion of Quincy Bent, of the local plant
of the Bethlehem Steel Company, in
ern negroes. Burgess Wigfield has
advocated more adequate force for
months and stated this morning he
was very glad that council had taken
the step.
H. p. Longnaker. for eight years
chief of police in the borough. last
night rendered his resignation before
council. to take effect Monday. He
has accepted position with G. w. En-
sign, Inc, which has the contract for
installing the big intercepting sewer in
the borough. B. A. Capella, q former
councilman. was appointed to succeed
him.
Detective I. NJ. Durnbaugh was Sc
lected as one of the trio of new men
on the force. He took UP his duties
today. The other two will be selected
soon by the police committee of the
council.
With the three new men the bor-
ough's force will include chief. one
sergeant six patrolmen and one night
desk officer. The former force was
, composed of a chief. sergeant and four
patrolmen. The new chief and two
patrolmen will be on duty during the
day and in the night five patrolmen
and one desk officer.

Edison Is Not Sure
of Wilson'S Election

West Orange. N. j., Nov. Z. =
Thomas A. Edison was induced last
night to give his views on the Presi-
dental election.
Wilson ought to be elected" he said
but 1t is not SO sure he will be-"
The great inventor showed that he
was not entirely pleased with the poll
cies of the President, however. when
he said:
IT think Wilson has given sufficient
consideration to humane projects for
the time, and I hope that if he is
elected he will go into the campaign
for preparedness more seriously. What
we need now is more police to guard
our nation and more machines to pro-
tect ourselves from other nations If
we ever are attacked.
America is not going ahead fast
enough in preparedness. You know
Ihave been around a great deal lately
looking at our forts anu other de-
fenses."
Mr.. Edison was asked what he
thought of them.
Absurd" he said. and waved his
hand in dismissal of the subject.

Republican day"
The candidate was accompanied on
the walk from the hotel to the laundry
by Major f. S. Crossett and several OF
the attendants at his personal head
quarters. He was at once recognized
by the few persons in the streets at
that hour. who shouted greetings to
him. A small crowd, among whom
were several newspaper photographers.
greeted him as he entered the voting
place. After voting he paused in the
doorway a moment for the benefit of
the cameramen. Two extra policemen
were on guard in addition to the two
required by law.

place the cnlookers were startled by
the noise of a taxicab backfiring. Half
dozen policemen jumped in the
direction of the disturbance, but
stopped when Mr.. Hughes smilingly
pointed to the heavy smoke hanging
behind the stalled automobile.
Mr.. Hughes was handed his ballot
at 1903 o'clock. When he emerged
from the booth he handed the marked
ballot to the inspector. having taken
exactly two minutes to record his
choice. He walked back to his hotel
accompanied by the crowd and went

Will Next President
Take Oath of Office
March 8 or March So

The choice of the American
people for President at to-day's
election would. according to gen.
raj custom. take the oath of Office
March 4, 1917. but that day falls
on Sunday. The Constitution of
the United States provides no fixed
date for the administration of the
oath, although 1t does. of course,
prescribe it's textual form. A COM
mittee appointed by the consti-
tutional convention chose the first
Wednesday in March. 1889, the
date of the First Congress under
the Constitution to meet. This date
happened to be March 4, which
has since then been used as the
date of the presidential inaugu-
ration.
BY an act of March 1, 1892, IL
was provided that THE term of
four years for which a President
and Fice-President shall be elected
shall. in all cases. commence ON
the fourth day of March next sue
ceeding the day on which the votes
of the electors have been given"
March 4, 1877, fell on a Sunday.
Rutherford B. Hayes took the oath
of office twice. on Saturday night,
March 3, when IL was administered
by Chief Justice Waite in the White
House. and again at the public
ceremonies in the Capitol on the
following Monday. The precedent
was set. however. by James Mon
roe. who was inaugurated March
5, 1921. The 4th of March then
came on Sunday. as was also the
case in 1849. when Zachary Taylor
was inducted into office. He, too.
took the oath on Monday.
IL would. therefore. appear to be
a matter of personal preference
with the President who will be
elected to-day as to whether he
shall take the oath on March or
March 8. 1917.
