Lansing President One Day
Wilson Takes Oath March 5.

Washington, Nov. 10.-Thc
President, reelected yesterday,
would, according to custom, take
the oath of office March 4, 1917,
but that falls on Sunday, and
residents of Washington are won
dering whether the ceremony will
be held on March 3 or March 5:
The two recorded precedents
show that Rutherford B. Hayes
was inaugurated on March 3 and
Zachary Taylor on March 5.
Apparently it is a matter for
the successful candidate to settle
for himself. Secretary of State
Lansing will act as president from
noon March +, to noon, March S,
if President Wilson takes the
oath March 5.

PRESIDENT BACK IN THE
WHITE HOUSE
President Will Follow Lines Al
ready Laid Down in Hand
ling Dangerous Posi-
bilities,

| aSlIIlStOH, -. ", NoV.Io.-
President Wilson, back in the
White House for the first time
since the campaign began two
months ago, plunged into work to-
day in an effort to clear his desk
of accumulated business. Taking
for granted that he had been re-
elected, he asked no questions
about electoral votes, but did dis
play anxiety over the political
complexion Of the next House of
Representatives.
Through an interview with Sec.
rotary Lansing the President got
in touch with pressing foreign
problems, including the submar-
ines. Mexican and British block
AIDE issues, and in talk with
Henry Morgcnthau, chairman of
the Finance Committee of the
Democratic National Committee
he became acquainted with the
latest developments in the politi-
cal situation.
State Department officials
make no secret of their belief that
dangerous possibilities are pre-
scented by recent developments in
both the Mexican and submarine
questions. Secretary Lansing re-
viewed details with Mr.. Wilson
today, but said no immediate ac-
ton was in prospect. Some de-
velopment is expected soon, how
ever, at the American-Mexican
conference sitting at Atlantic
City.
1t was stated definitely by Off
cals in the confidence of the
President today that his rc-elec-
ton will mean no radical change
in any of his policies. He is said
to feel that in general his course
has been endorsed by the nation
at the polls. Consequently the
administration S policy, both in
and fforri gil Il fairs, it is
predicted, will remain practically
unchanged, although as soon as
the war is over the President will
recommend revision of the tar
iff if he feels it is justified by the
facts to be gathered by the Tariff
Commission created by Congress
at it's last session.
With regard to foreign affairs,
it was said today that the atti-
tudc of the Government toward
submarine warfare laid down in
the note following the sinking of
the chanel steamer Sussex and in
previous communications will be
followed strictly, and the State
will continue to press
for American rights in connection
with the Allied blockade and mail
censorship.
IT a satisfactory agreement can
pc reached for the protection of
he American lives and property
n Mexico, it is believed the Unit
ID States troops in Mexico will be
soon. although a
strong force will he kept along

der Mr.. Will M. Smith, the Negro

The task seemed impossible and
many officials thought it doubtful, but
the system of Mr.. Smith and the CO.
operation of his efficient crew and
willing extra clerks, brought about
the desired results. We believe that
Mr.. Purdy highly appreciates the
services of his staff and office force
and extra help during the holidays.
He has pleasant smile and a kind
word for everyone. His association
with young men is valuable asset in
his position and we feel that the men
